Listening to and involving people

Score: 3

People were involved and listened to. One person told us of their experience of confiding in a staff member when something had happened that had worried and upset them. They said that the staff member listened, managed the situation and fed back to them with an outcome, they said “I felt better I spoke out.” Another person told us that they would talk to a family member if they were worried or one of the care team that they “have a good connection with.” A relative told us, “Staff are fantastic, they will do anything for my relative, and they are very good at telling me what is happening.” Another relative told us they get regular updates from staff on their family member, they said, “We are very happy with service.” One person told us about the resident meetings but said they would like more information on the current staff team to be shared at those meetings as they were not always sure if staff were on holiday or had left the service. One person told us that they had not felt well informed about a decision to a change of a health care professional, they said this was “Without my consent or explanation.” We fed this back to the provider for review.

Staff told us there were regular meetings held with residents and relatives. Staff said the complaints procedure ensured that complaints were acted upon. Staff gave us an example of where a relative complaint had driven a change in staffing numbers in one area of the home. A staff member told us that people and their relatives or advocates participated in planning their own care and care plans reflected people’s choices and preferences.

The provider had a complaints procedure in place which the management team oversaw to ensure complaints were managed appropriately. Procedures ensured that people, their relatives or advocates participated in planning and reviewing their own care. There were regular opportunities for people to share feedback including resident and relative meetings, and one to one opportunity with staff. There was evidence of action taken on feedback including the provision of transport for accessing the community more often and extra staff in some areas of the home.
