This report details the findings of Healthwatch Norfolk’s Enter and View of Lynfield Care Home. This Enter and View was carried out as part of their My Views Matter project. My Views Matter is specifically focused on residential and in-patient care for people with learning disabilities and autistic people in Norfolk. This project was started in response to the tragic events at Cawston Park, in which three residents with learning disabilities died between 2018 and 2020. One of the key findings from the subsequent Safeguarding Adults Review was that residents and their families were not being listened to. Healthwatch Norfolk conducted Enter and Views of 20 similar care homes. Overall, Healthwatch Norfolk was impressed by how caring staff were for residents, and their efforts to enable residents to make choices about their everyday lives.
