Enhanced Health in Care Homes (EHCH)
Enhanced health in care homes is a national framework for supporting care homes to keep their residents healthy and to manage any deterioration in their health.
In Coventry and Warwickshire our vision is:
Working collaboratively across services and with the individual and their families to enable choice in their health and care, while delivering safe, protective support that is dignified and respectful and enables the individual to live their best life.
These webpages, aimed at health and care professionals, have been created to provide information, promote good practice and share local examples. Please click on the buttons below for more information on the highlighted topic.
