Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire conducted an Enter and View visit, as part of a planned set of visits looking at the care provided, specifically around how the homes are able to support residents with additional needs.
Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire visited Holyrood House, on 18/03/2015.
Holyrood House is a former large family home in a garden close to the centre of Hedon, converted many years ago into an old people’s home. There is no parking provision. Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire visited most areas of the home including the lounge, library, dining room, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. There are 19 single rooms and 5 are shared, 17 rooms have an en suite toilet and hand basin. In addition there are 2 bathrooms, 1 shower and 5 toilets. Bedrooms are on two floors. At the time of the visit there were 23 residents.
The summary of findings highlighted despite this being a rather curtailed visit we believe that Holyrood House provides a high standard of personal care to its residents. The environment is homely and will benefit from the upgrading programme now under way.
Healthwatch East Riding of Yorkshire made no recommendations.
