St George's Park Nursing Home - Enter & View Visit Report

We wanted to find out how dignity, respect, quality of life and independence was being respected and supported in the person’s care, and how ‘activity-based’ care supported people to continue to be as active and independent as possible.

Summary

We want to learn about:

The environment - supporting Dementia, accessibility, activity
The experiences of people living with Dementia
Supporting people to continue to be as active and independent as possible
Choices available to people
Staffing levels and staff training

Key Findings

Residents and their relatives say they are well looked after by the staff and they like the food
In general, it appeared a very happy place where residents looked clean and well dressed, comfortable and relaxed in their environment, which was clean, bright and airy
Staff were friendly and showing dignity and respect to residents
The ‘lounge duty’ system seems a good idea to ensure staff can respond to resident needs which can be monitored
The activity week board with pictures as well as words helps those living with Dementia
