Healthwatch Havering conducted an announced Enter and View visit. Healthwatch Havering is aiming to visit all health and social care facilities in the borough. This is a way of ensuring that all services delivered are acceptable and the welfare of the resident, patient or other service-user is not compromised in any way.
Healthwatch Havering visited Ashbrook Nursing Home on 12/07/2015.
The summary of findings highlighted areas in relation to the premises, care, staff and other matters. The overall findings of the visits were mixed.
The main recommendations informed that, in view of the fact that currently there is no garden facility, efforts be made to ensure that all residents have the opportunity to regularly go out. A temporary, formally-recognised dining area be provided in the current sitting room to ensure that residents do not spend all their time sitting in armchairs, unable to interact with residents other than those sitting either side of them. Menus be displayed in this dining area. Activity co-ordinators visit other homes within the group (or elsewhere) to learn of additional activities that could be provided, and that membership of the activities organisation be considered.
