Summary of report content

Part of the Healthwatch Staffordshire remit is to carry out Enter and View Visits.

Healthwatch Staffordshire visited the Healthcare Rehabilitation Team at Brighton House Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust following feedback from a member of the public.

The main findings from the visit included; Brighton House Midlands Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is currently rent the building from a private landlord. The Manager was concerned that this arrangement is not long term and the facility may have to move. Healthwatch Staffordshire’s understanding is that Brighton House was commissioned to ease winter pressures and had not been registered as a long-term facility. Healthwatch Staffordshire were told that, as there are no home visits prior to discharge, families are given a form regarding home circumstances to complete prior to their relative’s discharge. Home visits are not made due to current practices, but they feel that more information regarding home conditions could be obtained if home visits were introduced.

The report contains six recommendations and includes a comment from the provider.
