Enter and view: Halton View Care Home

Halton View care home is a 64 bed residential home located in Widnes. It is easily accessible by car and public transport. At the time of the visit a number of agencies were working with the home to make improvements, laid out by a CQC inspection held earlier in the year. The home currently has 57 residents who live across 3 units. The home is under embargo at present, meaning they are closed to new residents. Many of the residents here have a diagnosis of dementia. The home appeared clean and clear of clutter both inside and out, but certain areas were sparse and not very homely. Décor is in need of updating but some renovations were under way during our visit. During our visit we noticed an unpleasant odour in certain areas of the home. The residents and family members Healthwatch Halton met with gave us a mixture of feedback, some positive and others negative. The Manager was new in post and was welcoming and helpful to our team. The home was looking to employ an Activities Coordinator at the time of the visit.
