This document explains what the Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH) programme is, how to make it work in the best way possible for people living in care homes and the people who care for them, and what everyone involved can expect from it. The guide hopes to reassure you that being actively involved in the EHCH programme should not require a significant change to the way you work, instead, you should see increased support into the home from health and care services

This guide is intended for Registered Managers of care homes and care home staff in England but may be of interest to a wider group, including health care professionals.
