Intermediate Care in Redbridge: A review of patient experience of home and hospital care for people needing short term rehabilitation support

Result of Visits

• Heronwood and Galleon Wards are both located on the ground floor of Wanstead Hospital and there is level, step free access from the entrance.
• Signage directing visitors to the ward was easy to understand.
• Both wards have 24 beds, consisting of four five-bedded bays and four individual side rooms. 23 beds were in use on the day of our visit.
• Both wards share rehabilitation facilities located within Galleon ward and consist of occupational and physiotherapy units and a rehabilitation kitchen. All appeared well used. We did not enquire whether these facilities needed to be booked in advance.
