Caton House Residential and Care Home Enter and View
The purpose of this Enter and View programme was to engage with residents and their relatives or carers, to explore their overall experience of living in Caton House.
On the basis of this visit Caton House is observed to be a well-run home which places considerable emphasis on the social engagement of its residents. The overall ethos and policies of Caton House demonstrated a commitment to minimising social isolation. You can read about our visit, our recommendations and the Manager's response here.
UPDATE - Following our recommendations, we were pleased to hear that Caton House have since:
- Started to recruit Resident Ambassadors to focus on providing one-to-one social engagement and company for residents confined to their rooms.
- Extended the activities programme to include weekend opportunities for social interaction.
- Sought the provision of a taxi service (paid for by Sanctuary Care) to allow residents to go on trips, including afternoon tea at the local Church.
