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): 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide give prospective residents and their families the information required enabling them to make an informed choice about where they live. A contract/statement of terms and conditions is given to all residents on admission, which confirms the facilities offered and care agreed. A pre-admission assessment is undertaken on all prospective residents before admission to ensure the home can offer them the care they require. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide were viewed, it was found to be up to date and contained information that prospective residents and their representatives need to make an informed choice of where to live. Once the upgrading of the premises is completed, there will need to be an updating of the Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide to reflect the room occupancy and sharing facility and facilities available. Carlisle Lodge DS0000013971.V266770.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 There is a written contract/statement of terms and conditions that all residents receive on admission to the home. This contract is confirmation of the room booked, the type of admission, either respite or permanent and the fees to be paid. Five pre-admission assessments were viewed, and were found fully completed and informative. The assessment takes place at the prospective residents’ place of residence, and involve the relatives whenever possible and input from other relevant professionals is sought when required. Two of the seven residents spoken with said they remembered someone from the home coming to see them before they left hospital and felt it was helpful to have met someone from the home before they arrived. One resident could not remember being involved, but thought that their daughter had been involved at the time. The pre-admission assessment identifies any specific needs of the prospective resident and this informs the admission process. These can then be discussed with the resident and their representative to ensure that the home can meet their needs. The Statement of Purpose also gives information regarding the services they provide. Prospective residents can visit the home to meet the staff and the residents, to look at rooms that are available and the facilities provided before they make any decision regarding accepting a place. Unplanned admissions are avoided whenever possible but should they occur, then an assessment is undertaken within forty eight hours and a GP is requested to visit as soon as possible.

Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect.
