Mae Gwên am Byth yn awr yn rhan annatod o raglen Gwella Cartrefi Gofal Cymru sydd hefyd wedi'i hariannu gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac mae'r ddarpariaeth yn cael ei harwain gan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru/1000 o Fywydau. Mae hyn wedi galluogi i Gwella Cartrefi Gofal Cymru fanteisio ar yr hyn a ddysgwyd o brofiadau’r rhaglen, gan ei chryfhau ymhellach fel rhan annatod o waith gwella cartrefi gofal cenedlaethol Cymru. Yn gynharach eleni, rhoddodd y Comisiwn Ansawdd Gofal wybod am gyflwr gwael iawn gofal y geg mewn cartrefi gofal ar gyfer pobl hŷn yn Lloegr, ac mai dim ond ychydig o gartrefi sy'n bodloni canllawiau NICE. Croesawyd yr adroddiad gan sefydliadau fel Cymdeithas Prydain ar gyfer Astudio Deintyddiaeth Gymunedol a Chymdeithas Gerontoleg Prydain a thynnwyd sylw at arferion da yng Nghymru dan y rhaglen Gwên am Byth.
Gwên am Byth is now an integral part of the Care Home Improvement Cymru programme which is also funded by Welsh Government with delivery led by Public Health Wales/1000 Lives Service improvement. This has allowed the Care Home Improvement Cymru programme to benefit from the learning and experience of Gwên am Byth, while further strengthening Gwên am Byth as an integral part of Wales’ national care home improvement work. Earlier this year the Care Quality Commission reported on the very poor state of oral care for residents in care homes for older people in England, and how few homes meet NICE guidelines. Organisations such as the British Association for the Study of Community Dentistry and the British Society for Gerontology welcomed the report and highlighted the good practice in Wales in the Gwên am Byth programme.
