Somerset Enter and View Project overview 

The Somerset LINk Enter and View team agreed a project to look at the quality of care in care homes. It was decided that particular attention would be paid to identifying examples of good practice by observing issues relating to dignity in care.

  Aims

The aims of this project are;

• Capture an overview of Residential and Nursing Home as observed and discussed with staff, residents and visitors to the home;
• Identify good practice relating to the provision of care in the home;
• Identify good examples of dignity in care as outlined by the Social Care Institute for Excellence  publication: ’The Dignity Factors’; and
• Seek ways to ensure these are shared among care home providers.
• Make recommendations for investigation or improvements as and where observed.
