This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key inspection was unannounced and took into account any previous information held by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (commission) including the homes previous inspection reports, their service history and the homes pre-inspection questionnaire sent to the home by the commission prior to this inspection. The Commission also sent residents survey forms (Have Your say) to the home prior to this inspection and ten were returned. The site inspection consisted of case tracking a sample of three residents records and assessing their care. The inspector spoke with two of the residents who were being case tracked and joined three other residents for a discussion about the care on offer at this home. The inspector also spent time with the manager and a senior carer. A partial tour of the home and a review of a sample of the records were also included. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
8-10 Richmond Road DS0000062565.V345030.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 This inspection found that a senior member of staff had not signed for medication given to one resident. Best practice is to sign for medication given to a resident at the time it has been taken and swallowed. The manager does not carryout pre-admission care needs assessments of prospective residents prior to admission to this home so as to help ensure that their care needs can be met. One care workers personnel file evidenced that she did not have a current Criminal Record Bureau check (CRB) carried out by the provider. CRBs are not transferable from one home to another and it is the responsibility of the manager and provider to carryout these checks to ensure the safety of people in the home. The provider has not undertaken any checks or obtained any references for a domestic worker who had been employed on a temporary basis. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office.

In a previous inspection carried out in January 07, residents stated that their care plans were regularly updated and that they were involved in this process with their key worker. Both residents said at that time that they had signed their care plan, agreeing to the care being provided by the home.
