What the care home does well

Pre admission assessments are detailed to ensure prospective residents are clear about what the home has to offer. Recording systems for care planning are structured and efficient. This provides staff with an on going, detailed picture of individuals needs. Administrative systems are well organised. All health and safety records are kept in good order. The activities programme on offer at the home is well run and varied offering residents the opportunity to pursue areas of interest. The home is well decorated with a good standard of furnishings providing the residents with a pleasant and comfortable living environment.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection one resident has moved on to independent living accommodation and the home has a current vacancy. A prospective resident has been assessed and it is likely they will be moving to the home before the end of September 2006. The downstairs bathroom (en-suite) has been fully refurbished to meet the current occupants needs. The home has purchased a garden shed to store residents bicycles. This will also provide additional storage space for garden furniture during the winter months.

What the care home could do better:

Some of the Medicine Administration Records were incomplete with gaps where staff should have signed. A requirement has been made to provide refresher training for staff in medication dispensing. This will ensure staff complete records in line with the homes medication policy and procedures. The inspector found some incidents had been recorded fully in the homes log but the Commission had not been notified of these. It has been recommended that records of all major incidents that occur in the home be copied to the Commission as Regulation 37 notifications. It was noted that the homes fire extinguishers were not attached to the walls and had no written record on them of annual checks by the Fire Service. It was recommended that the manager contact the local fire inspector to seek advice about appropriate action in this area. .

This judgement has been made from available evidence, including a visit to the service. EVIDENCE: A Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide is available at the home, which provides all prospective residents with relevant information about the service, prior to admission. Each document is provided in a format suitable for residents so they are aware of what the service offers prior to admission. Individual care files for two residents were case tracked.

Each plan of care contains detailed risk assessments. This includes information relating to individuals personal history, mental health and behaviours. Each care file also contained risk/behaviour management guidelines. This practice promotes independence for residents in line with assessed risk and agreed limitations and ensures the manager and staff can provide care within safe boundaries. 17 Shakespeare Road DS0000061335.V309319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The manager stated the staff team is committed, where possible to providing a holistic approach to individuals and resources provided are always in line with specialist needs of the resident.
