Summary of report content

Part of the Healthwatch Wirral work programme is to carry out Enterv and View visits. Local Healthwatch Representatives carry out these visits to health and social care services to find out how they are being run and make recommendations where there are areas for improvement.

Healthwatch Wirral visited Sandtoft Care Home on 14/09/2018.

The overall findings and considerations from the visit included: Consider in any future programme of refurbishment include creating a Dementia Friendly environment; consider adjusting the location of the furniture and seating in the lounge, currently placed around the perimeter of the room; smaller grouped seating may encourage conversation and interaction between residents and create more space to enable staff and residents to manoeuvre around the room safely; consider having a rolling programme or forward plan of menu options which could be managed easily and provide more choice.
