Care staff recruitment and retention: What is happening in the independent care sector?

Abstract

This article is based on a project funded by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (O'Kell, 2002), which has been undertaken to provide a snapshot of the issues affecting the independent care home sector at the present time, prior to the introduction of the National Minimum Standards for care homes in April 2002. A range of issues relating to care staff recruitment and retention are reviewed and good practice is highlighted.
