Part of the Healthwatch Warrington remit is to carry out Enter and View Visits.
Healthwatch Warrington visited the The Old Vicarage Nursing and Residential Care Centre on Thursday 1st February 2018.
Overall, Healthwatch Warrington visiting team gained the impression that The Old Vicarage Nursing and Residential Care Centre had a very homely atmosphere and residents appeared to have a good rapport with staff. The manager is supportive of the staff and has introduced several positive initiatives to assist them. One example of good practice has been the introduction of a ‘staff hospital snack bag’, which is provided to staff when they are going on an escort with a resident to the acute hospital. To sum up, staff are to be commended for achieving the areas of good practice shown in this report and the visiting team would encourage the provider to continue with planned refurbishment as to further improve lived experiences at the home.
