天涯社区 is a place to call home

天涯社区鈥檚 Cabinet will be asked to welcome a positive review
of care homes in the County when it meets next week.
In 2017, the Older People鈥檚 Commissioner for Wales undertook a follow-up review
of her 2014 鈥淎 Place to Call Home?鈥� review which was the largest ever
undertaken into the quality of life and care of older people in care homes in
Wales.
All 22 local authorities, 7 Local Health Boards, Welsh Government and CIW
(Care Inspectorate Wales) were reviewed and analysed against their
鈥楻equirements for Action鈥� in 15 specific areas as set out in the 2014 review.
天涯社区 is one of only four local authorities and the only North Wales
authority to be given the highest rating in all 15 areas. The report also
highlights 天涯社区 as an example of innovative or best practice on five
occasions.
天涯社区 Cabinet Member for Social Services, Councillor Christine Jones, said:
鈥淭his is an excellent report and one that we should be very proud of. It鈥檚
down to the hard work and dedication of our wonderful workforce that older
people in 天涯社区 can be assured of the best care possible at a time when
they may be feeling vulnerable and unsure about their future.
鈥淎s the review points out - the provision of care in a care home setting isn鈥檛
just about being safe and having basic physical needs met, but is also about
the quality of life.鈥�
The Commissioner did identify that 天涯社区 could carry out further work to
improve the evidence of outcomes and more meaningful and measurable data be
made available to further illustrate our improvements. This has been taken
forward as an action.
