The present study describes a practice development project that produced a user-led daily living plan (DLP), which was developed in partnership with older people, and staff from health and social care settings. The DLP was designed to facilitate communication of the daily living preferences of older people, ensuring that continuity of care and support could be maintained and that their future care can be planned on an individualised basis when they move from hospital to a care home. In the process of developing and implementing the DLP, more effective person-centred communication between hospitals and care homes was achieved, and some of the hospital staff's ideas about care homes changed.
