This is an enter and view report conducted by Healthwatch Cheshire West 23 November, 2016. During the visit Healthwatch representatives spoke to people, which included a mix of staff and residents. The visit was announced.
Overall the home was found to be operating to a mixed standard. Residents seemed to be happy with the care they were receiving. However due to a recent safeguarding incident the home was closed to new residents for the time being.
Recommendations were made as part of this report. No response from the home manager has been attached.
Summary of recommendations:
- We suggested to Amanda that she looked towards planning more regular meetings with herself and her staff. This would ensure a cohesive strategy going forward.
- We also discussed the resident of the day system (that many homes now use)to ensure a thorough examination of every aspect of a resident’s needs.
- Representatives feel that a computerised planning system would benefit such a large home.
- The development of additional dementia specific activities.
