Description
Oral presentation: research on care home managers – what do we know?
Why are care home managers so ignored in research despite their pivotal role in the lives of so many older people? The presentation offers some explanations for this and highlights the many research gaps. These need to be addressed because care home managers support some of the most frail older people in the country. They have heavy responsibilities and we can learn much from them as well as building up knowledge of what helps a care home manager to deliver the best possible care. The study on which this presentation draws is based on a review funded by the NIHR School for Social Care Research.
