The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 and 4 The system of assessing prospective residents as well as spending time with them prior to admission gives an assurance that a resident will only be admitted if the home can meet their needs. EVIDENCE: As identified within the report for 60 Wright Street the manager at 62 Wright Street would follow the same process of resettlement. At present the home is full therefore no recent placements have been made. Should a vacancy become available the manager and staff would follow the procedures set out by Mencap. This would involve assessment information being accessed from the funding authority and other relevant sources in relation to the individuals needs. Further information would also be gathered during meetings with prospective residents and their families. The home would encourage prospective residents to visit the home as well as over night stays. This enables both residents and staff to meet and spend time with each other, before making a decision in relation to the suitability of the placement. Once agreed, information gathered would be used to inform the development of the care plan. Placements are then reviewed following an initial settling in period. 62 Wright Street DS0000009317.V280175.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices
