The summary below is an overview of the findings of an unannounced inspection conducted at Abba Care home on 22nd May 2005. The service was inspected against the National Minimum Standards for Adults (18 – 65) and a number of the National Minimum Standards for Older people (65 years and over.) At the time of the inspection 3 service users were accommodated at the home. The inspector arrived at 10am and the inspection continued until 3.30pm. The inspection involved discussion with service users and a care staff. Observations were made throughout the visit and records were examined. There are various references to ‘case tracking’ throughout this report. With regard to service users’, case tracking’ refers to the process in which the inspector focuses on a small group of people who are considered to be representative of the service users in the home. All records relating to these people are inspected, along with the rooms they occupy in the home. Observations are of the care provided, and the service users are invited by the inspector to discuss their experiences of services in the home and what this means for them. This process does not exclude other service users being included and involved in the inspection process. ‘Case tracking’ is also used as an inspection tool with regard to staff working in the home. In this instance, all records relating to one member of staff was viewed, and staff was invited by the inspector to discuss issues relating to their experiences of working as a carer in the home. The inspection was carried out with the co-operation of service users and a care staff. What the service does well: The attitude of the staff and management is to run the home around the needs of the service users and provide a safe, secure family environment for them. Service user care plans addressed areas of care such as routines, likes and Abba Care Home F57 F07 S9594 Abba Care Home V227397 230505 Stage 0.doc Version 1.30 Page 6 dislikes, allergies, health needs, personal hygiene and general health.

The assessment covered the reasons for the referral, the presenting problems, a history of the service user mental health, family history, personal and employment history and the service user current mental health. The assessment had been summarised and included a risk management plan. A social work core assessment form and Occupational Therapist report was also included as part of the assessment. A written contract stating the terms and conditions of the service user residency was available but required the service user signature to confirm his agreement. When asked about his move to the home the service user said, I’m Abba Care Home F57 F07 S9594 Abba Care Home V227397 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 very happy here, I came here about 12 months ago but there weren’t any places.

Abba Care Home F57 F07 S9594 Abba Care Home V227397 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 EVIDENCE: Case tracking and examination of service user files showed that care plans were drawn up from the initial service user assessment and reviewed regularly. Future review dates had been set. Care plans used at the home highlighted service user strengths, needs, problems and action and clearly defined the expected outcome for each service user. Some outcomes were to ensure that service users would live comfortably at the home. Care plans also covered areas such as decision-making, risk taking, confidentiality, health care, past interests and hobbies, present needs and wishes and medication. Medicines were stored in a locked kitchen drawer that could be unlocked by using a kitchen knife. The inspector was told there wasn’t a key available as it had been lost. Medicines were placed in medicine pots before the stated time and left on the kitchen table for service users to take with their lunch. One service user administered his insulin by injection. When asked the service user confirmed that the registered manager checked the amount and watched him take his insulin to ensure this was administered properly. Case tracking confirmed a medication risk assessment was not available for this service user. Medication administration record sheets were properly used and signed by staff to record the correct medicine amount given to service users.
