The Uplands at Oxon Nursing Home, Shrewsbury - Enter & View visit report

This visit was part of a programme of visits to care homes that are registered by the CQC as providing Dementia care to learn more about the care they provide and identify areas of good practice.

Summary

The purpose of the visit was:

  • To make observations of the home environment and interactions between staff, residents and their families.
  • To understand the home’s approach to providing ‘person centred’ care (including Dementia care) and the support available for staff.
  • To hear about how staff support residents to maintain their independence, make choices and maintain relationships with family / carers.

Key Findings

We suggest the following should be considered:

  • Review the training for all staff, to ensure that all staff receive Dementia training.
  • Review storage for equipment and wheelchairs, so that a bathroom is not used for this.
