Summary of report content

Healthwatch Wirral conducted an enter and view visit on The Lodge, a privately run residential home providing residentia care for up to 18 people.

The visit was arranged as Healthwatch Wirral was requested by a service regulator or commissioner to conduct an unannounced visit to the service.

Observations by the Enter and View representatives included:

 Residents looked cared for and appeared to be happy.

 Staff appeared to know the residents well and treated them with dignity and respect

 Care was well balanced from a health perspective.

 Staff seemed pleased with the new management arrangements.

Healthwatch Wirral made 2 recommendations:

 Display Healthwatch ‘Your Voice’ leaflets to allow feedback to be gathered independently

 Ensure that residents are not put at risk when sharing the garden of the Home next door.

The report includes a response from the provider.
