Cookridge Court and Grange Care Home in LS16 following an initial visit made in August 2010. Recommendations were made following the first visit and the LINK were pleased to note that by November 2011 many of these had been implemented by the new management. It was concluded that the home had improved and no further action was required.

The
Care of the Elderly in hospital was the subject of a health service ombudsman report (published 15th February 2011). The Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (LTHT) was not one of the Trusts mentioned in the ombudsman report, however the LINk steering group agreed that this was an issue that the LINk needed to monitor in Leeds. A group of members carried out 3 enter and view visits to elderly care wards at St James’ hospital in Leeds during July, August and September 2011 to look at the care of the elderly. Members were pleased with the high standard of cleanliness on the wards and care of patients. There were some minor concerns raised during the visits. The Trust have provided information and highlighted actions in order to address any concerns that were raised. The
full report for these visits is available or a copy can be obtained by contacting the office on 0113 388 5099
