Summary of report content

Healthwatch Cheshire East undertook an announced/unannounced Enter and View visit to Elworth Grange Care Home on 28 November 2022.

The report looks at:

The environment and building

  • Communal areas
  • Residents rooms
  • Outdoor areas
  • Other facilities
  • Food and drink
  • Recreational activities
  • Residents
  • Relatives and friends
  • Staff
  • Promotion of privacy, dignity and respect
  • Medication and treatment
  • Care home best practice initiatives

The report concludes that Elworth Grange is very person-centred and tries to make it a real home for residents with touches such as framed photos in the corridor and the wide range of activities which are directed by residents’ requests, such as the walking group. The work the home is doing to bring the community into the home seems to be very successful.

The report has one recommendation.
