Healthwatch Camden
Residential care reports
In recent weeks, Healthwatch Camden volunteers have been to visit every care home in Camden to talk to residents, relatives and staff.
Our reports aim to provide local people with a different type of information to fill the gaps in what you can find out from the Care Quality Commission, from Camden Council or from the homes themselves.
If you are thinking about choosing a care home for yourself or a friend or relative, we hope you will find these helpful.
