Our report following a visit to The Old Police House, a care home in the village of Nunney near Frome, which provides accommodation for people with a learning disability.
Five people currently live at the home and there is one vacant room. Accommodation is provided on one floor, so the bedrooms and communal rooms are on the same level. Residents have their own bedroom and share bathroom facilities.
Recommendations
The home might like to consider a picture board, showing staff and residents who live there. Other things could be added to the board, for example, what the weather is going to be like, what activities are taking place that week.
The immersive room was a great asset to the home and the residents. We would recommend a facility like this to other homes.
A relative was concerned that staff did not have their meals provided when they were working and asked us to raise this.
