Enter & View: The Stratfords care home

The purpose of this Enter and View programme was to engage with residents, their relatives, or carers, to explore their overall experience of living in The Stratfords Care Home. As well as building a picture of their general experience, we asked about experiences in relation to social isolation and physical activity.

The average age of residents is 73, the youngest being 45 oldest 98.
• There are a total of 12 residents – the home is at full capacity.

Our findings

The care home is coming to the end of a refurbishment program. The main lounge and dining area is light and airy. As a smaller home it has a welcoming and homely feel about it. 

This home has a welcoming friendly atmosphere, and the residents appear calm, relaxed, and happy.

The staff all appear to give ‘a little more than it’s a job’; their interactions with residents were warm and caring as though dealing with family members.
