OSJCT Edwardstow Court performs strongly in national care survey
Residents at Edwardstow Court Care Centre in Stow-on-the-Wold and Jubilee Lodge in Bourton-on-the-Water responded to a nationwide care survey to say they feel safe and secure at the homes.
The results of the Your Care Rating survey of care home residents, their family members and friends were recently published.
Now in its eighth year, the Your Care Rating survey is the country’s largest and most authoritative survey of care home residents and their families and friends. The nationwide survey gives respondents a voice, putting their opinions at the heart of understanding more about how well care homes are performing. Over 11,800 residents in 362 care homes across the UK responded to the survey which was carried out in autumn 2019.
Survey respondents were asked to rate their homes on four themes: Staff and Care, Home Comforts, Choice and Having a Say, and Quality of Life.
As well as resident and family respondents in each home saying they feel safe and secure, both Edwardstow Court and Jubilee Lodge achieved a near perfect score on Quality of Life questions, achieving 940 and 938 out of 1000, respectively.
Residents also rated the home highly on Staff and Care questions, with respondents saying they feel they are treated with treated with kindness, can take part in hobbies, and that staff respect their privacy.
Edwardstow Court Care Centre Manager, Lynne Elliott, said: “We are pleased with the results of this survey from both our residents but also from their family and friends. Our residents rated their quality of life here at Edwardstow Court very highly which is very important to us. We are always keen to take on board feedback from residents and their families to make our care even better for the people who live with us.”
This year’s results for every care home surveyed are displayed on the Your Care Rating website (www.yourcarerating.org) The survey was compiled by leading research company Ipsos MORI with input from participating care home operators, together with the National Care Forum and Care England. The survey is the most authoritative of its type, and is also the country’s largest, capturing more views of residents than any other.
