The results are in from of our annual satisfaction survey of residents in our care and nursing homes. They paint an extremely positive picture of life in our care homes.
Listening to our clients and their families is important to us. We want to know what people think and feel about our care, whether that’s home care, live-in care or our care homes.
The link to the questionnaire (this is the first year the survey was online) was sent out during the COVID pandemic. So we are delighted that 99% of people who responded said that they felt our care home teams have managed well during this unprecedented time.
Respondents overwhelming (97%) agreed that they felt comfortable and safe with staff and in the home. And the same percentage (97%) told us that their care or nursing home is comfortable and clean.
Our social activities are an important part of life in our care homes. But we know that not everyone wants to join in with everything all the time.
That’s why we try hard to give our residents options and support for them to choose what they want to do. So it’s reassuring that 96% of people who responded said they felt able to contribute to the activities and events in the home should they so wish.
Tim Buckley, Chief Operating Officer for Agincare care homes, said:
“The final question in our survey asked our residents or their family members whether they were satisfied overall with the service they receive from us. It is heartening that 95% of people said they were. However, we are never complacent about the quality of our care and strive to keep improving. Our aim is for our care homes to be the number one choice locally.”
