National service framework for older people (DH, 2001) set out PCC standards to overcome threats to a person’s identity associated with living in care homes. PCC specific to older people in care homes is explicitly emphasized in policy doctrines and through equality act 2010 that places a duty on public bodies to ensure the health and social service reflect the diversity of the population they serve. Disparities in health by ethnicity, particularly in old age are greatest and well documented. Care homes needs to recognize the increasing heterogeneity of the older population and offer the services that incorporate people’s cultural, religious and lingual difference. Methods: Results: Four key areas were identified in the literature reporting PCC for BME elders in a care home (Figure) Conclusions: Ethnic and cultural differences have an impact on all aspect of health of BME elders in care homes. The review highlights the lack of research around the definition and integration of PCC policies and guidelines specific to BME elder in care homes. References: Department of Health (2001).
