Summary of report content

Healthwatch Warrington carried out an enter and view visit to Green Park Care Home on 29 July 2026 to observe the environment and care provided, speak with residents, staff and relatives, and identify areas of good practice and improvement. The home provides nursing care and had 94 residents living there at the time of the visit. Healthwatch spoke with residents, staff and a family member and reviewed how the service operated.

The visit found the home to be clean, bright, welcoming and well maintained, with positive relationships between residents, staff and management. Residents described the care they received as excellent, while a relative reported that their family member was calmer and more settled since moving to the home. Staff spoke positively about the working environment, training opportunities and management support, and highlighted improvements in staffing levels and resident care. 

Healthwatch found a wide range of activities and community links, including arts and crafts, live entertainment, therapy animal visits, school and church visits, outings to local attractions, and a dedicated sensory room. Residents had access to regular healthcare support, hairdressing services and varied dining options. The report praised the home's focus on resident engagement, wellbeing and meaningful activities. 

Healthwatch concluded that Green Park Care Home was a caring and resident-focused service with a positive atmosphere and committed staff. Recommendations included introducing more dementia-friendly features such as contrasting toilet seats and orientation clocks, improving access to emergency alarm cords, strengthening storage and security arrangements, addressing maintenance issues, ensuring residents' privacy and dignity are consistently protected, and displaying Healthwatch information more prominently for residents and families.
