Summary of report content

Healthwatch Rochdale visited Briarmede Care Home on Wednesday 17th October 2018 at 2.00pm – 4.00pm as part of a programme of announced Enter and View visits to care homes in the Rochdale borough. The visit was based on eight care quality indicators developed by Independent Age. This was an announced visit. However, due to information not reaching Braeside Care Home prior to the visit management and staff were not expecting us but did allow us to carry out the visit on arrival.

The Enter and view visit showed that Briarmede Care Home meet the requirements of some of the indicators. However, the requirements of some of the indicators are not fully met and the following areas of improvement have been identified.

The recommendations in the report are in relation to engagement, identifications badges, information providing and food/nutrition.
