Summary of findings 

At the time of our visit, the evidence is that Darley Court was operating to a very good standard of care with regard to Dignity and Respect 

  • Patients looked tidy and clean, we saw no evidence of dignity not being respected, however, the policy of open bedrooms doors should be considered in respect of dignity 
  • We saw evidence of staff interacting with patients positively and regularly, including just checking they were okay if they had been sat for a while.
  • Residents told us that they were very happy with the food. 
  • Staff told us that they received ongoing training and enjoy their work 
  • Patients unable to contact family and friends can feel isolated 
  • Patients can feel there is little to do without arranged activities 
  • The use of volunteers could have a huge benefit to both staff and patients and should be explored
