My Home Life is a new initiative aimed at improving the quality of life of those who are living, dying, visiting and working in care homes for older people.

My Home Life aims to celebrate existing best practice in care homes and promote care homes as a positive option for older people. The My Home Life team is working to help you improve the quality of life in your care home, through the development of a range of resources, events, practice development initiatives and other activities.

Each film is split into two parts: a case study and a question about the film answered by a series of experts. The films are designed to promote discussion and include a forum to allow you to add your own comments and suggestions about the issues raised by the films. Additionally, there is a worksheet available to print out to help the debate.

The topics covered include:

• Creating a Positive Culture

• Keeping Workforce Fit for Purpose

• Supporting Good End of Life

• Improving Health and Healthcare

• Managing Transitions

• Sharing Decision-making

• Creating Community
