  3. Exercise Standards Current guidelines from NICE 1.1.5 Exercise in extended care settings 1.1.5.1 Multifactorial interventions with an exercise component are recommended for older people in extended care settings who are at risk of falling. [2004] National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. (2013). Falls in older people: assessing risk and prevention . NICE.

  4. 1- What are you currently offering within your service? 2- What areas would you like more support and guidance? 3- Any other feedback on the standards?

  11. Hydration  Dehydration in older people is common too  Also affects most body systems  Unlike malnutrition, there is no validated screening tool

  12. What does CQC say?  A variety of nutritious, appetising food should be available to meet people's needs and be served at an appropriate temperature. When the person lacks capacity, they must have prompts, encouragement and help to eat as appropriate.  Where a person is assessed as needing a specific diet, this must be provided in line with that assessment  Staff must follow the most up-to-date nutrition and hydration assessment for each person and take appropriate action if people are not eating and drinking in line with their assessed needs  Staff should know how to determine whether specialist nutritional advice is required and how to access and follow it

  13. What do the CCGs (NHS) advise in Herts?  Raise awareness about malnutrition  Identify malnutrition before you start to treat it  Follow Herts guidance when treating malnutrition

  14. New – Herts Malnutrition management pathway for care homes

  15. Nutrition policies  What does yours say?  Potential for Herts wide care home nutrition policy

  16. Treating malnutrition – Hospital vs community  Many patients receive sip feeds during a hospital admission  In hospital, sip feeds are likely to be the most cost effective way of preventing and treating malnutrition  Sip feeds are often included on discharge summaries, but usually they are not needed following discharge because : • • When in hospital most patients are: On discharge home most patients: • • acutely unwell, which increases are no longer as acutely unwell • nutritional requirements but have an improved appetite and decreases nutritional intake can choose familiar and preferred • in an unfamiliar environment, meals/ snacks at times and in an offered unfamiliar food which environment that suit them • they may not find appetising, at can implement a food first times which may not suit them approach (especially true for those resident in a care home)

  17. Treating malnutrition – ONS vs homemade suppleme nts  1 bottle of Ensure Plus provides 330kcal + 13.8g protein; cost to the NHS = £1.11  1 over the counter Complan provides 387kcal + 15.6g protein; cost to the patient/Home = £0.95  1 Homemade fortified milkshake provides 305kcal + 17g protein; cost to the patient/Home = £0.35  Nutritionally, all 3 products are virtually identical

  18. Treating malnutrition – Food first  Should provide more than just calories (it’s not just about adding butter and cream…)

  20. Enablement and Postural Support – Top Tips for your staff SUZY WHITE ENLIGHT PHYSIOTHERAPY

  21. Postural Management and Benefits  Posture is any position that the body is in, in lying, sitting or standing  Good posture is where everything is aligned in a balanced way without too much tension  Good posture is important for being able to:  Move  Function  Breathe  Eat  Be free of pain

  22. P .E.A.K. Used to check sitting posture:  P - pelvis in a neutral position  E - equal weight on both buttocks  A - 90 ° angles at hips, knees and ankles  K - knees facing forwards

  23. Posture Practical

  24. Consequences of poor posture  Pain  Difficulty eating  Pressure sores  Muscle shortening/contractures  Reduced ability to move functionally, e.g. lifting arm, sit to stand  Breathing problems  Chest infections  Death  Safeguardings

  25. Solutions  Get people moving  Practise positive risk taking  Use enabling language – believe people can improve  Make appropriate referrals to specialist services and using the right language for these  Provide training for staff (e.g. PSF via HCPA)
