Abstract
To improve existing service user experience at Ashby House and The Lodge by 45%, by December 2024.
Ashby House is an overnight respite service, and the Lodge is a day care service, providing short breaks and day provisions for adults with learning disabilities and complex health needs.
Staff recognised when service users are not engaged in meaningful activities, they can demonstrate difficult to manage behaviours, and wanted to make their visit a ‘home from home’ experience.
With some legacy money that had been left to them, and fund-raising events, they purchased new equipment so activities could be freely available and meet service user needs, following engagement with families, service users and staff.
Service user experience was measured both qualitatively and quantitively, based on staff perception across four categories; service user enjoys coming to respite, indifferent, does not enjoy coming to respite and does not engage.
