These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. A full care assessment is undertaken for everyone wishing to live in the home to ensure the home can meet their care needs. The home has the provisions to provide intermediate care to residents who have been assessed as needing short-term residential care. Evidence: The completed AQAA documentation states that prospective residents and advocates have the information they need to make an informed choice of where to live. The home has an open door policy for all prospective residents enabling them to visit at any time. The Service User Guide is written in plain English and in a format suitable for intended residents. Each resident has a written contract and or terms and conditions. No person moves into the home without having their needs assessed by people trained to do so. Prospective residents, friends and relatives have the opportunity to assess
Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 28 Evidence: the quality and suitability of the home prior to admission. The managers complete an assessment with the proposed resident and their representatives in order to ascertain as much information as possible to ensure the home can meet their needs, the assessment includes information about general health for example diagnosis, mobility, equipment needed, personal care, skin and pressure area, sensory aids, nutrition, spiritual and cultural needs. The registered manager has previously confirmed that the home does provide intermediate care to persons who require a short term stay. The registered manager completes the assessments and ensures staff receive training to meet the individuals needs. The home has appropriate accommodation enable this. These standards were not inspected as this visit, and the judgement has been made using the information contained in the completed AQAA documentation and confirmation from the registered manager that the documentation remains the same, and that pre-assessment visits are undertaken and documentation is completed. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 28 Health and personal care
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents need to be involved in the development and review of their care plans. The home has good practices to ensure that residents health care needs are fully met. Staff are not following the homes clear procedures for handling medication and this may not protect residents. Residents feel that their independence is supported and they are treated with respect most of the time. Evidence: Two care plans were seen. The plans contained all components as required by regulation, however the present form of reviewing is to print another care plan monthly. These were not signed and for one resident the weight record indicated a weight lose and this was not recorded in the review of the care plan with the action taken to monitor this issue. The registered manager confirmed that it had been discussed with the GP, however was unable to provide any written record. Inappropriate wording in one of the daily records seen was discussed and the registered manager agreed to address this issue. Discussion took place about the

The registered manager showed the inspector a new format that was going to be implemented as the care planning system for the home. This new system was to be implemented in the near future. A requirement was made previously for the registered manager to ensure residents or their representatives are involved in the regular reviewing of their care plans, this was not seen as being recorded. However from discussion with the registered manager and deputy manager it was indicated that there is regular communication and exchange of information with residents and relatives. When the new care planning system is implemented records will be maintained in relation to this. Two residents spoken with said that staff provide them with care and support as they would like. Records showed that residents received visits from GPs and other health professionals such as the district nurses and psycho-geriatrician. The home administers from a single blister pack system provided by the local pharmacist and medications were seen to be stored appropriately, in sufficient quantities. The home uses Medicine Administration Record Sheets (MARS) system for recording the administration of medication. The medications records were seen and a number of inaccuracies in recording were observed. These were discussed with the registered manager and deputy manager in that mainly medication was not signed as being administered but the medication was not in the blister pack. An issue in relation to the recording of controlled drugs was also discussed with the senior carer, as the numerical recording was inaccurate. Management agreed to address these issues. Medication that is in need of disposal is returned to the local pharmacy and a record is kept by the home that is signed on receipt by the pharmacist. Throughout the visit, staff were seen to knock on doors and wait before entering rooms, staff spoke to residents in their preferred manner, as stated in their care plans, and were mainly friendly but respectful.
