My New Home - Supporting people with an intellectual/learning disability and advancing dementia moving into a care home
People living with a learning disability are at increased risk of dementia when compared with the wider population and may move into a care home because their needs have increased and can no longer be met in their own home.
To support their move, Healthcare Improvement Scotland and the Care Inspectorate, in collaboration with key partners, developed guidance to enhance the appropriate care and support of people before, during and after a move to a care home.
