Care and Support
A2Dominion owns two, Chestnut Court and Beechwood Court, and is also the care provider for Brockhill, which is owned by Woking Borough Council.
Extra care housing combines accommodation with care and support services. The three sites provide support for people with a wide range of needs, including: dementia, physical disability, learning disability and/or autism, sensory impairment, and mental health conditions.
Despite the huge pressures put on staffing levels and conditions by the ongoing Covid pandemic, the report praised the services for providing high-quality care and understanding that the people supported need choice and freedom over how to live.
A relative of one of the service users said the staff “are passionate and deliver very good care." Another called a care worker “amazing” and described how he “popped in to see [my family member] outside of his working hours just to make sure she was okay. He is really great."
The report praised the services for having “respect for privacy and dignity at the heart of their culture and values”.
“People experienced caring relationships where staff treated them with kindness and compassion in their day-to-day care,” it continued.
“People were supported to make decisions about their care and these choices were respected by staff. Staff encouraged people to maintain and develop their independence, and to direct their own health and care whenever possible.”
Jo Evans, Director of Supported Housing at A2Dominion, said: “It’s fantastic to see such great feedback about our services from people who use them and from their loved ones.
“Working as I do with the staff who deliver these services, it’s no surprise to see that the CQC has produced such a positive report based on their recent inspections. Their dedication and compassion, especially recently when they have often faced the most challenging of circumstances, is second to none and I can’t thank them enough for all they do.”
“With the well-documented challenges around recruiting staff in the care sector at the moment, I hope that this report encourages people who are thinking of a career in supported housing to consider joining our excellent teams in the area.”
