This was an announced Enter and View visit to a Mental Health Nursing Home.
Due to the category of care it was deemed necessary to inform the manager of the proposed visit. This was to ensure suitable access and the safety of the visiting team. The visiting team were able to interview the manager, the psychiatric nurse on duty as well as several staff and residents.This enabled the team to gather knowledge about the running of the home, and the opinions of the residents about their care.
