Healthwatch South Tyneside conducted an enter and view visit on Needham Court, a privately owned care home in Jarrow.
Healthwatch South Tyneside considered that conducting Enter and View visits across all the care and nursing homes in South Tyneside would present valuable evidence of what is being delivered around ‘Meaningful Activities’ and what is in place for residents to keep them mentally and physically stimulated to enhance their quality of life.
Observations by the enter and view representatives included:
- Needham Court appeared to be a very comfortable residence with a homely feeling. The body language of the staff and the way the staff speak to and handle the residents is very comforting.
- There is a full programme with various activities to enable residents to participate in if they want to. Resident’s requests appeared to be met if possible supported by the staff.
Representatives spoke to 12 residents, 2 visitors and at least one member of staff.
The report does not include any recommendations or a response from the service provider.
