Care-home resources

Practical paperwork for good mouth care.

Documents to help care homes meet their responsibilities and give residents comfortable, dignified mouth care — including at the end of life. Each one is a PDF you can download, print and share with your team.

For care-home owners and managers

CQC compliance

Two documents to help you show that oral health is being managed to a good standard — useful when preparing for an inspection or reviewing your own practice.

End-of-life and palliative care

Palliative mouth care

An excellent KOHC resource for keeping a person’s mouth clean, moist and comfortable when they are seriously ill — with the record-keeping to support it.

About these documents: these resources are produced by KOHC and shared here to help care teams. Please use them alongside your own home’s policies and professional guidance.

More help for carers

These documents sit alongside our wider guidance for people caring for someone who can’t easily look after their own teeth.
