According to Coventry Council website today -
Coventry City Council is providing adequate services to safeguard adults and some services to support older people, and its capacity to improve these services is promising, according to government inspectors.
it goes on to say:
In its report published on Tuesday 7 October and discussed by councillors at Cabinet, inspectors praised the Council’s “clear vision with very supportive political leadership and an ambitious and visible senior management team”. The report also highlighted a number of strengths in the way the Council worked to safeguard adults, including some good frontline practice and the Council’s promotion of older people's independence through extra care housing.
I think the key word here is ' adequate services' - what does that mean? They get washed, fed and watered, got into and out of bed at regular intervals? and ' safeguard adults' - that conjures all sorts of images, hardly a dignified existence.
Maybe I got it all wrong, this council has 'clear vision....ambitious and visible senior management team'..but for what?
My PA who works in one of the local residential homes tells me of the conditions there with short staff, many of whom work sometimes close to 10 hours shifts, who bearly speak English who are badly paid. I would not want to be adequately provided for in those homes.
