Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,4 and 5 The quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement is based on the examination of the Home’s mission statement, policies, procedures, practices and discussions with management. The Home had in place a Strathmore Care Services Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide, that provide information to prospective residents and their relatives about the services the home is able to offer. These documents are in need of updating to reflect contemporary changes. There have been no recent admissions to determine the effectiveness of admission policy, but the staff maintained that pre- admission assessment is conducted by the senior care manager at the point of referral, with a full multidisciplinary and a community assessment. EVIDENCE: During the course of the inspection there was ample opportunity to sit and talk with residents and staff. It was evident that much care had been taken in involving residents and family in the caring process. A resident expressed her pleasure at the general friendliness around, with other residents and staff. Discussions with three mothers present confirmed their full awareness and involvement in the provisions of care and services. Evidence was seen of that assessment process being applied following admission and in continuing care. 134 Blurton Road DS0000008254.V329848.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The Statement of Purpose was discussed and found to provide a very informative description of Blurton Road’s aims, and the way it operated, although it would benefit from a review. There had not been a recent admission to the Home, although an examination of resident’s care records and plans clearly demonstrated the extensive efforts to see through the pre-admission, and admission procedures and assessments. Each record showed the attention to individuality and their unique needs. 134 Blurton Road DS0000008254.V329848.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices

A daily entry reinforced the depth of meaningful monitoring, which would be enhanced with a consistent input.

EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager Barbara MacBryde, has for the past few months been given extra overseeing duties elsewhere in the organisation, leaving an acting manager to supervise day-to-day matters.

Nevertheless the acting manager has demonstrated a capacity to undertake supervisory duties well, in maintaining the high standards at all times, and presenting an efficient attention to the Inspection.
134 Blurton Road DS0000008254.V329848.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 There is a confidence apparent in the interaction of staff and the Home’s management that demonstrated a positive relationship, pervading throughout the Home. This open style of management was mentioned by several service users, and parents, which provided a source of trust and mutual respect. Quality assurance with the Craegmoor organisation complements this arrangement with extensive monitoring in areas as care planning, staff meetings, staff training and resident’s suggestions. The case tracking undertaken reinforced the effectiveness of resident’s involvement in their care and environment.
