Enter and View: Tickford Abbey 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 Becket House care home. As well as building a picture of their general experience, we asked about experiences in relation to social isolation and physical activity.

Summary

In respect of demographics: 

• Participants were aged 70 to 106 years, six of whom were females and three were males.
• Five of the residents had been at Tickford Abbey for 12 months or less.
• Two residents were accompanied by friends and family, whilst the remainder were alone.

Tickford Abbey is a three storey Manor House set in beautiful grounds and has kept much of its original charm. The Home is registered to provide residential and personal care to up to 32 residents and there were 26 people living at Tickford Abbey on the day of our visit.

People told us that, overall, they were very happy in the home and felt cared for. When the briefing of the visit was given at the end of the day, we received a positive and welcome reaction to our feedback.
