People were relaxed and happy when we visited. People were in the lounge, dining room and their bedrooms throughout the day. Some people went out to the local shops with support and independently.
People said they liked the food. One person told us that they thought the food was better than before.
One person told us they were moving to another home and that they would be doing their own cooking and cleaning.
Some other people said they wanted to move elsewhere.
We spoke to those people who were able to tell us their views. We asked them what they liked about living at St David's Lodge.
They told us 'Sometimes I like it. I don't always like the staff' and 'I like the staff they help me'. One person said 'I don't get on with all the people sometimes.'
We asked people how they were helped by staff and were told 'Help me with shaving. I may cut myself' and 'Put clothes on for me.'
We asked people about activities they were involved with and were told 'Go to Bingo Fridays. Go in the mini bus.' One person told us 'No Christmas shopping yet.'
For those people who were unable to communicate verbally to tell us their views we spent time in the lounge/dining areas of the home observing their routines, and interaction with staff to help us understand their experiences of living at St David's Lodge.
