During a routine inspection

People using the service at Victoria Mews have dementia care needs, which meant they might have difficulty engaging in complex conversations with us. Some people showed signs of emotional well being by approaching us with a smile, or sitting beside us. Other people answered our direct questions and said, 'Yes' when we asked them if they were happy, the same person said, 'it's alright' when we asked them if they felt safe here.

We talked to two relatives who told us they were satisfied with the care at Victoria Mews. 'Mum always looks tidy and cared for no matter what time we come to see her. The staff are very friendly and they tell us if there are any changes. '

One family member who told us their relative had been found on the corridor floor with injuries to their face, they said, 'No one really knows what happened. Mum is very confused and often changes her story about what happens to her, but this time she keeps telling us she was hit.'
