Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 2

Only 1 relative recalled being given a questionnaire regarding feedback. Several relatives reported attending relative’s meetings. Most reported that this is the forum in which concerns were generally expressed. One person stated that not many people attended and suggested that this may be because it is held on a Monday afternoon when some relatives may be working. People generally felt that in more recent times any concerns highlighted at these meetings were listened to and addressed by the management team.

We spoke with the manager and nominated individual regarding the timing of the relatives' meetings. They told us the timing of meetings was being reviewed so that more relatives would be able to attend. Staff told us their views were listened to and acted upon.

There were processes in place to ensure people received equal and fair care and support. Staff received training in equality and diversity. Minutes from a recent resident / relative meeting showed actions had been taken regarding issues raised. For example, the provision of shelves in people’s rooms to display personal items.

Planning for the future

Score: 3

We did not look at Planning for the future during this assessment. The score for this quality statement is based on the previous rating for Responsive.
