| Note: | What we did
Dental professionals accompanied our adult social care inspectors on 100 routine inspections.
What we found
Among the homes visited:
- most had no policy to promote and protect people’s oral health (52%)
- nearly half were not training staff to support daily oral healthcare (47%)
- 73% of care plans reviewed only partly covered or did not cover oral health
- it could be difficult for residents to access dental care
- 10% of homes had no way to access emergency dental treatment for residents |
