Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

People and their relatives felt respected and treated equally by the staff. We received comments from relatives such as, “The carers are good at talking to [loved one] and making them feel comfortable. [Loved one] sings the praises of the carers” , “The home has got to know [loved one] well and [loved one] knows them” and, “The carers pop in to do [loved one’s] eye drops, bring a cup of tea or just pop in to say hello and check they are OK and has everything.”

People living at the home and their relatives were given opportunities to provide feedback about the running of the home. We were provided with the results of quality assurances surveys however; no actions had been taken to improve areas where people fed back they were not satisfied. This meant the surveys had not always been effective at driving improvements in the home.

Staff spoke about people with respect. They were clear that they acted to support each person individually and ensured they were reflecting that person's wishes. The home had a dignity champion who was the deputy manager. They described how they focus on person centred approaches and model respectful interactions. The ethos of respect is embedded in meetings and reinforcing people's rights within their home.
