Summary of report content

Healthwatch Havering undertook an enter and view visit of Glebe House Residential Care Home on 1 December 2023.

Glebe house is a Nursing Home for people with mental health issues.

The grounds appeared to be well cared for and there were fruit trees which provided fruit for the residents. There was also some outside seating for residents.

All but one of the rooms had en-suite toilets and showers; the other room had a bathroom. All of the rooms were well-decorated, and furniture was largely suited to the occupants, with beds to suit individual needs and preferences.

There was a communal room on each floor where residents could watch TV and there were various games etc in these rooms for group participation. The manager advised that group activities were organised in accordance with residents’ wishes.

Trips out were arranged on a regular basis. Residents were permitted to go out locally unaccompanied, but a member of staff would usually be available to accompany anyone who needed that.

The dining room was well-furnished and large enough to accommodate all residents. The kitchen was clean and tidy, with fridges and pantry well stocked.

The report concludes that no recommendations need to be made.
