Recommendations of visit
We would recommend:

- Introducing colour contrast toilet seat raisers.
- Putting dementia clocks with day/time/date/ a.m. p.m. in communal areas.
- To ensure that drop down rails in toilets are contrasting colours.
- Introducing Dementia signage on upstairs toilets and relocating dining room signage to where it is more easily visible.
- That alarm cords be hanging to floor level at all times in case of falls.
