What the care home does well

What has improved since the last inspection?

There was a training matrix, which highlighted the training needs of staff. Records were maintained for dietary and fluid intake to help assess residents nutritional needs. Quality assurance was undertaken to ensure the views of those connected in the home were obtained and acted upon to provide a better service. The environment was being improved to provide better facilities for residents.

What the care home could do better:

The manager should ensure all aspects of the plans of care are reviewed on monthly basis to ensure staff are aware of the changing needs of residents. The manager should ensure any tools used for a resident`s nutritional assessment are of a recognised type to ensure best practice. The manager should ensure more staff attend a first aid course to help provide better cover for residents and staff in an emergency.

This unannounced key inspection, which included a visit to the home, took place on the 6th July 2007. Much of the information gained was obtained from talking to residents and staff members. The views of residents were obtained on a variety of topics. People living within the home allowed the inspector to call them residents. Three residents were case tracked. Case tracking gave the inspector an overall view of the specific care for the individual resident by checking their plans of care, other documentation and talking to staff about the care they gave each resident case tracked. Two staff members were questioned about the care of the residents case tracked and the training they had undertaken. Some of the views have been reported collectively with specific comments contained within the body of the report. The inspector took detailed notes during the inspection, which have been retained as evidence. Staff were directly and indirectly observed carrying out their tasks and interacting with residents. Paperwork examined included plans of care, assessment documentation, policies and procedures or documents relevant to each standard. A tour of the building was conducted on the day of the inspection. What the service does well: The assessment of residents was excellent prior to admission and ensured the home could meet the needs of residents. Plans of care contained good detail for staff to deliver effective care. Residents case tracked said, “I get assistance when I ask for it”, “I get as much care as I need – they do what they have to do all the time” and “Staff are smashing. They are very helpful and go out of their way sometimes”. One family member said, staff are very attentive and the two sisters know what they are doing. I have found my mother really enjoys this care home. The matron calls meetings to discuss how they can improve the patient’s environment. Residents case tracked were satisfied with the personal care they received. Residents were able to access specialists to ensure their health care needs were met.
