  There are no practices in Greenwich with any "outstanding" judgements from CQC but a few with 100% "good" including Ferryview (Valentine Health Partnership) which has an urgent drop in every morning. http://www.cqc.org.uk/ http://www.valentinehealth.org.uk/ We've been with it for 25 years and have been very happy.

  Dave T. asked:

  MATERNITY Share experiences of maternity care. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) want to hear about experiences of maternity care - good or bad. The experiences will be used for a media campaign that will be running in January. Have you had recent experience of maternity services? Do you know someone who would be happy to share their experiences? If so, please ask them to get in touch with... yourstories@cqc.org.uk ...giving a short description of their experience. Someone from CQC will then get in touch to discuss the next steps. Please note, you will need to be comfortable to share your experience with both the CQC and journalists, and you will need to be happy to be named and photographed.

  Ken S. asked:

  Just wondering if anyone on this page can help/advise/point me in the right direction. As some of you know, I have been in and out of QEH, KL several time over the last 18 months. After my last experience last week, I posted a message about my experience on the QEH FB page. I guess I must have hit a nerve, as within an hour, it was removed! Now THAT was a surprise. I would have thought they would like to know the patients' side of the story, as they are supposed to be in 'Special Measures!' So, my plea for help is - who can I contact re these Special Measures as I would like to put my point forward. I dread going in there and have actually refused to go three time this year alone, but my experiences when I have been incarcerated over the last 18 months, have all been the same - inedible food (cooking is a hobby of mine) I have had people say they couldn't face corn flakes and another toast! I have heard time and time again, that it's virtually impossible to get a decent night's sleep, uncomfortable beds and the night time noise, with phones ringing, alarms going off all the time and staff just chatting away on their experiences at home, their shift patterns and numerous other issues. I kept a copy of the post I placed on the the QEH, FB page, knowing full well it would be removed. That's what I would like the authority that has put the hospital in Special Measures, to know from a patients point of view. I don't ever remember a patients view being asked. HELP!!!!! Where do I go to help all those patients, both past and future. You go to hospital to rest and cure, not to get wound up! Thanks for your patience. PS. I've saved this post too!

  Cliff B. asked:

  Can anyone give me advice on local Care / nursing homes - capable of coping with mild dementia ? If you have negative things to say I'd like to hear those too but perhaps best if you messaged me privately. Thanks :)

  

  Su W. replied:

  Field Lodge in St Ives (Care UK) has a specialist dementia wing. A friend's Mum is in Cromwell House in Huntingdon and she has advanced dementia. They are very happy with the care provided there. You can always look them up on the CQC website http://www.cqc.org.uk/.

  Kate G. asked:

  Has anyone had any experience of or can recommend home care services in Preston? There are so many and am starting the ring arounds but the lists are endless!! Any to try (or avoid) Preston people?

  

  Alex V. replied:

  If you look at www.cqc.org.uk you can look at all home care agencies in the area you want and if they've passed a cqc check (national standards). It also tells you what areas of care they provide. Hope this helps x

  Horsham asked:

  Recommendations wanted for care for the elderly in their own homes. Also, as we haven't had them before, recommendations for care homes and any other related services etc... repost from Tamsie: I am looking for personal recommendations for care of the elderly in their own home, mainly companionship with a little home help. Many thanks.

  

  Sam C. replied:

  Some residential homes, such as Rosedale offer full or half day, daycare. Can be good if the person just wants company, a meal and a change of scenery for a while. Here's the last few CQC reports. http://www.cqc.org.uk/directory/1-135602965#icon_modal_green What our icons meanAll standards were being met when we inspected the service.
