Read our report following our visit to Rivington inpatient service. We spoke to staff and residents as well as observing practices throughout the day. Our report includes full details of all our findings including the recommendations we put forward
Summary of findings
- Overall care and support offered by staff appears to be good on all three wards.
- Patients are all happy with the food.
- Lack of activities, or suitable activities, are an issue on all wards but particularly the female ward (Oak).
- There is confusion by some patients about whether or not they have been involved in discussion about their Care Plan. However, this may be due to their poor health at the time of any conversation.
- Patients seem to be being informed of their legal rights and any rights to access an Independent mental Health Advocate (IMHA) although not all patients are clear about what an IMHA can do.
