Equity in experiences and outcomes
All relatives spoken with confirmed their loved ones had visits to the home from health care professionals such as GP, district nurse and chiropodist. One relative told us, “My daughter and I have stopped any hospital appointments or even admittance as my [family member] has had such bad experiences we will not put them through anymore. They [family member] now only accepts treatment from the nurses in the home or the homes GP.”
Staff told us they felt supported by their colleagues, registered manager and senior leaders. Staff understood people had a right to be treated equally and fairly, to receive care and support which met their needs and was free from discrimination. They worked to reduce inequalities or prejudices which affected outcomes for people with protected characteristics. Staff did not feel they treated anyone differently due to their needs or abilities. For example, staff explained how people cared for in bed were still provided with opportunities for engagement and activity. One staff member said, “I would be very happy for family to be cared for here.” The management team described how they sought and listened to information about people who are most likely to experience inequality in experience or outcomes. This included during assessments and reviews, and staff tailored their care, support and treatment in response to this.
Policies and procedures were in place in relation to equality, diversity and inclusion. Staff had received training in diversity and inclusion.
