The CIRCLE Care Home Guide: A Co‐Designed Resource on LGBTQ+ Inclusion for Care Homes
BACKGROUND: Many older LGBTQ+ people still face discrimination in care home settings, and many care home staff do not have the knowledge required to provide LGBTQ+ inclusive care. Despite the availability of valuable resources on LGBTQ+ inclusion, its widespread use in social care practice in the United Kingdom is lacking. To address this issue, the current study presents a novel resource on LGBTQ+ inclusion co-designed by older LGBTQ+ people, ca…
The role of adult social care services in improving the quality of life of older carers and the individuals they support
We explore the quality of life of older carers (aged 65 and above) and the people they support, as well as the role of services in promoting their quality of life, both on an individual and on a dyadic level. We collected data in England and, using a framework analysis, identify three themes that were shared by 28 carers and 11 individuals with support needs: (1) experience of support within and outside of the dyad; (2) dilemmas related to receiv…
Applying a dyadic outcomes approach to supporting older carers and care‐recipients: A qualitative study of social care professionals in England
There are an estimated 2 million older carers, aged 65 or over, in the UK. Older carers are more likely to care for a co-resident spouse/partner, provide high-intensity support and have their own health problems. The literature suggests that a 'dyadic outcomes approach' to social care (i.e. services and support that seek to understand and improve the quality of life of the older carer and the person they support, individually and together) may be…
The quality of life of older carers and the people they support: An international scoping review
Older carers, aged 65 or over, may find it difficult to balance caring while maintaining their own health and quality of life (QoL). For older carers, especially, established approaches to separately identifying, assessing and addressing carers' and care-recipients' needs, may not fully consider the interwoven nature of caregiving relationships and the ways in which community-based social care services may impact the QoL of both parties. The purp…
