Healthwatch Warrington have undertaken a project looking at the delivery of oral health support in care homes. This was highlighted as a concern for us because the Care Quality Commission (CQC) has identified the oral hygiene of care home residents, both older people and those with a learning disability, to be an issue across the country.

The Frailty Assessment Unit (FAU) is a ‘Warrington Together’ led partnership, aiming to redesign services for older people. The unit provides care closer to home where appropriate, reducing Accident and Emergency (A and E) attendances, reducing admissions to acute services, and providing care in a more person-centred and efficient way. The service has been fully operational since June 2018 and it is reported to have significantly reduced the number of admissions of patients living with frailty.
