All Inspections

30 October 2012

During a routine inspection

Some of the people who were using the service were not able to communicate with us verbally. They shared their views through gestures, facial expressions and body language wherever possible. We used a number of different methods to help us understand the experiences of people who used the service. This included communicating with people using their preferred methods of communication such as gestures, facial expressions and body language. We also observed the support provided by staff and checked a sample of records.

During our visit we met individually with all of the people who used the service and we spoke over the telephone to three of their relatives. In addition we spoke with three members of staff who held various roles at Clare Walk.

We observed that the service was run as an ordinary domestic household. The people who used the service had an active role in daily activities and we observed them preparing meals as part of an independent lifestyle.

One relative told us 'It's an ordinary house, in an ordinary street, like everybody else'. Another said 'It's more or less home from home, we are totally happy, she is very happy and is involved in her own care.'
