I experience a service as near as possible to people who are important to me and my home area if I want this and if it is safe.

If I live in a care home and there are separate facilities for people who support and care for me, these are in keeping with the homely environment.

5.15

If I am an adult living in a care home I can choose to see visitors in private and plan for a friend, family member or my partner to sometimes stay over.
