Healthwatch Lancashire gather information on people’s experiences of health and social care services and there are times when it is appropriate for Healthwatch Lancashire to see and hear for themselves how services are being delivered: these visits are called ‘Enter and View’, they are not inspections.
Healthwatch Lancashire visited Day time support centre at Walton Lane Community Centre in May-July 2015.
The key findings highlighted areas in relation to patient feedback, staff feedback and observation.
Following on from the observations and from the opportunity of speaking with service users and their next of kin to gain their opinions and suggestions for improvements, the following have been identified: Provide information about accessing the service and service activity. Minimise risks such as relabelling of hot and cold taps. Provide handrails on entering the centre. Improve standard of cleaning. Engage service users in suggesting and planning activities.
