Trafford conducted an Enter and View on Lynwood Lodge, a privately owned residential care home with 24 places, on 13th July 2017.
This Enter and View visit is taking place as part of a three-year programme of visits to every nursing and residential home in Trafford which has publicly funded residents.
Observation by the Enter and View representatives reported that:
• 95% of residents at the Home live with various degrees of dementia.
• All residents listened to spoke of their satisfaction at living at the Home.
• Relatives spoke to on the day of the visit complimented the care delivered by staff at the Home.
• The Home is welcoming and well-staffed.
• Staff are clearly happy at Lynwood Lodge and this permeates the atmosphere providing very good responsive interactions with the residents.
• They found the Home to be very well managed.
• The Home has an open-door policy and visitors were present during our morning session. There is a signing-in book for visitors on arrival at the Home.
The following recommendations were made:
• They felt that the creation of a ‘passport’ for each resident’s eyesight requirements and a photograph of the spectacles the individual has purchased is good practice.
• Adoption of the best practice initiatives (see report)
