Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2,3,6. All residents are now being provided with written contracts/ statement of terms and conditions of residence. The homes staff ensure that they can meet the assessed needs of prospective residents by obtaining written assessments prior to their admission to the home.

The third care plan only contained very brief details and did not address the residents’ cultural needs. The manager stated that this resident had been admitted when the home first opened and that this level of preadmission assessment would no longer be acceptable. (The care plan produced by the homes staff did address the residents’ cultural issues). The manager showed the inspector a new letter that will be provided to all prospective residents, stating that having regard to the assessment, the care home is suitable for the purpose of meeting their needs in respect of health and welfare. (This is good practice). One of the residents receiving intermediate care was spoken with during this inspection. She confirmed that she had been encouraged to participate in a rehabilitation program, which would enable her to return to her home.

Since last inspection the manager has introduced a complaints book in which staff record brief details about all complaints received by the home. However these records do not show what investigation has been completed and whether any subsequent action was necessary. The records cannot be viewed in a confidential format and consequently the manager has now decided to use these records only as a quick reference listing details of the complaint, the name of the person making the complaint and where the full complaints records will be located. The complaints received by the home have all been appropriately dealt with. The manager confirmed that there have been no incidents of abuse in the home in the last 12 months.
