Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

People told us about their active, busy lives. People went to college, days out by public transport, swimming and to church. People were encouraged to have new experiences. A person told us, “I’ve been to see a band. I’ve never been to a concert before and this was the first time. I want to go again”. Maintaining and developing relationships with other people was also prioritised. People got together with other people who used the service who had similar interests such as seeing a particular film at the cinema. People also spoke excitedly about their time on holiday. They said they particularly enjoyed being with lots of other people and sharing the experience with staff. People communicated that they were happy and involved in activities that were meaningful to them. Relatives told us that staff listened to the wants and wishes of their loved ones, and tailored support to how they wanted and needed it. A relative said, “The home has been very helpful in working with me to facilitate contact which I am extremely grateful for.”

Staff were committed to upholding people’s rights they understood the importance of people not being restricted due to their health or disability. Staff told us they have monthly meetings with people to check what has gone well and not so well and the reasons why. These meetings also reviewed any accidents and incidents, reviewed any health concerns, pending health appointments and goals for the next month were discussed and were a good way to gain feedback from people.

The processes to gain people’s views and experiences were in place. The organisation was committed to supporting people’s individual activity and promoting people’s level of well-being. At keyworker meetings discussions took place about setting goals for people about things that were important to them. For example, one person had been going on more walks and this had had a positive effect on their well-being. Regular tenants meetings were also held. Staff were sent an annual survey to provide opportunities to give feedback. They also had monthly team meetings and supervision sessions with their line managers.
