Dignity and nutrition for older people

Throughout summer 2012, we carried out an inspection programme that looked at the care provided to older people in care homes and NHS hospitals. The programme focused on whether they are treated with respect and dignity and get the food and drink that meets their needs.

NHS hospitals

This review looked at the care provided to older patients in 50 NHS hospitals between July and August 2012.
