My mum stayed in this care home for about 3 months. It was not a happy time for her or our family. Staff were unwelcoming and unprofessional, some making inappropriate remarks and shouting loudly at mum despite us repeatedly telling them she was not deaf. They made my mum's previous carers feel very unwelcome when they came to visit and w often argued with them. Staff were poorly trained with little insight into the challenges of having Alzheimers, some actually asked me what 'sundowning' was. They could not properly control other residents who displayed aggressive or intimidating behaviour.They often complained to us about their poor work environment and how understaffed they were. One member of staff used our private details to approach my brother for a date. The activity timetable isn't adhered too and activities that were provided were very poor. Management is unavailable, either hidden away in their office or most often to be seen smoking on the street outside, getting a prompt response from them was impossible. Food was appalling stodge, supper often only soup and sandwiches. Staff would repeatedly forget to activate mum's fall alarms even though she was high risk and once lost her personal fall alarm and failed to replace it. Sometimes they didn't dress her appropriately. Once, in the hot summer, I found her in bed dressed in pyjamas and a woolen jumper under a duvet drenched in perspiration. They often forgot to take her dentures out, twice we found them on the floor. The final straw was when mum's front teeth got knocked out, none of the staff had noticed nor could they find them or give an explanation as to how it happened. I find it incredible that this home got a "Good" rating from the CQC - the new home mum is in is so much better, with caring and considerate staff, great activities, welcoming environment well trained staff and a care manager who is around all the time talking to residents and families alike, yet it has the same rating... the Good category must be very broad! Camden should ask Shaw homes for there money back this home is sub standard. I gave it 1 star for its location ... near Hampstead Heath.
