The service has a dementia champion who told us, “I try to get peoples views, I am involved in meetings, and I try to represent peoples views, asked about colour scheme of rooms etc and making choices. I feel they listen to me, and the registered manager is active in making changes.” A relative said, “The staff are very good, they have empathy and interact with the residents, they treat them like grandparents. The activities coordinator is brilliant, knows [relative] is fidgety so keeps [relative] busy.” We observed a ‘you said, we did,’ notice on the wall that included arrange of opportunities where people had suggested activities they would like to achieve. Examples of achieved activities included, pub trips, art painting, gardening, shopping and a library trip.

The staff were able to explain how to capture peoples views and communication tools they can use such as visual aids and photos. Staff told us about opportunities made available to people in the home. For example, one person had asked to be baptized and the service was able to facilitate this. Another person was supported to pray with an offering to Buddha at a monk’s monastery. People were encouraged and asked for their opinions and choices. People were helped to feel in control of their care. For example, one person told us, “I can come and go as I want, I have freedom to go out.”
