Summary of report content

Healthwatch Cheshire West conducted an Enter and View visit to Weatherstones House, a 30 bed Nursing Home, on 28 March 2014.

The Authorised representatives reported that the entrance was inviting, as were the staff. They observed there were a lot of notices on the walls for everyone to read. The day’s menu and the food rating were also displayed.

The visiting team reported that residents rooms were all different sizes and most had pleasant views. All but four rooms were en-suite and those rooms observed seemed in good decorative order.

A point noted was that GPs from the local doctor’s surgery visit the home twice a week so they get to know their patients well. End of life plans appear to be respected and relatives can stay during this period if they wish.

There were no recommendations made and no provider response was included within the report.
