Summary of report content

Healthwatch Wirral conducted an enter and view visit on Cressingham House, a privately run care home in Wallasey, which provides

accommodation and personal care, including respite and end of life care, for up to 16 people.

The visit was arranged as Healthwatch Wirral wanted to conduct a 'Green visit' with an elected member of local government that does not cover the constituency of the home.

Conclusions of the Enter and View representatives included:

• All areas were fresh and there were no unpleasant odours.

• The atmosphere was homely and welcoming.

• Staff were friendly and enthusiastic.

• Staff appeared to be caring, respectful and approachable

• Residents looked well cared for and happy

Healthwatch Wirral made 2 recommendations:

• Continue with programme of refurbishment to include a Dementia Friendly environment.

• Display Healthwatch ‘Your Voice’ leaflets to allow feedback to be gathered independently

The report includes a response from the provider.
