Summary of report content

Healthwatch Sandwell gather information on people’s experiences of health and social care services and there are times when it is appropriate for Healthwatch Sandwell to see and hear for themselves how services are being delivered: these visits are called ‘Enter and View’, they are not inspections.

Healthwatch Sandwell visited Hilltop Lodge Nursing Home on 19th April 2018.

The summary of findings highlighted areas in relation to patient feedback, staff feedback and observation. The report informs Hilltop Lodge has listened to concerns and are implementing improvements which is having a positive impact. Hilltop Lodge provides a good standard of care for its residents. Staff are dedicated and caring.

The report includes 2 recommendations. Healthwatch Sandwell would like Hilltop Lodge to consider improving the general décor of the day rooms which we feel would make the environment more homelier for the residents. Healthwatch Sandwell would suggest that Hilltop Lodge could make improvements in the access to the home at weekends to make it easier for relatives to visit.
