First experience of a nursing home for our relative. Sadly turned out to be a poor one. No senior members of staff introduced themselves or rarely spoke to us as family members.
Our relative was kept in isolation for over half of their stay, at risk of falls this only impeded the situation and made respite a difficult time for all. The family felt the need to visit still daily again against the point of respite care.
Couldn’t covid tests be done at home prior to avoid this for residents? If at all still needed now. Staff were all wearing masks and appeared not to be transitioning into a covid recovery.
Told to ring to give the time of the visit which is very restrictive and had to visit in the bedroom; never in communal areas. This wasn’t home from home as we expected, very depressing for the resident and family.
This resulted in ending respite early.

Tablets stock amount we thought were not returned, own GP cancelled by the home leaving us with our relative in end-of-life care with no GP and took ages to sort.

We are sorry that you feel you had a negative respite experience. The period of stay to which you are reviewing was back in March 2023, which was a frustrating and restrictive period for all involved. Our resident’s safety is paramount and unfortunately, at the time, care homes were still very much led by Covid government guidelines. The government guidance was continually changing and all new admissions (even respite care) were isolated for a set period of time, even with a covid negative result.For the safety of residents, the guidelines were that masks were still be used and that visits take place in personal bedrooms. This was to minimise any risk of cross-infection as visitors were no longer being tested. Visits were requested to be phoned in advance so that the residents could be in their room ready for their visit, and also so that we could limit the number of visitors in the building.
It is standard procedure that respite residents are registered as a temporary resident with our nominated surgery during stays. This is so that the respite patients can be treated for any acute illness should it arise, as the surgery that your relative was registered with, would be deemed to be out of area, and would not attend.
If you require any further clarification on the covid guidelines at the time, please do not hesitate to contact us.
