Bennett House - Enter and View Report

Key findings

• On arrival to Bennett House the signage was clear from the road.
• The outside space around the entrance needed some maintenance as the trees and plants had become overgrown, the work had clearly been started by the staff the previous weekend.
• The home has an enclosed garden in the middle which is easily accessible from all four households. It was mainly paved with some patches of grass, flower/vegetable beds. However, the garden needed some maintenance.
• It was observed that the walls required redecorating, and there were several posters partly falling off the walls.
• The communal rooms felt fresh, with the windows open and there were no unpleasant odours throughout the home.
• The bathroom and toilets were clearly signed with brightly coloured doors, appropriate for those living with dementia, also the garden was well signposted.
