This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The reader should be aware that the Care Standards Act 2000 and Care Homes Regulation Act 2001 often use the term ‘service user’ to describe those living in care home settings. For the purpose of this report those living at Carlisle Lodge will be referred to as ‘residents’. This was a key inspection that included an unannounced visit to the home and follow up contact with resident’s representatives and visiting health and social care professionals. This unannounced inspection was carried out over 8 hours on the 9th January 2007. There were nineteen residents in residence on the day, of which five were case tracked and spoken with. During the tour of the premises four other residents both male and female were also spoken with. The purpose of the inspection was to check that the requirement of previous inspection had been met and inspect all other key standards. A tour of the premises was undertaken and a range of documentation was viewed including the service users guide, statement of purpose, care plans, medication records and recruitment files. Four members of care staff were spoken with in addition to discussion with the Registered Manager and the Responsible Person. The pre-inspection questionnaire was received back from the Registered Manager on the December 2006 completed in full. Comment cards received from seven residents/ relatives were positive and indicated that both groups were satisfied with the services provided. Two comment cards were received from social and healthcare professionals, and two staff surveys were received from staff. The information contained in the returned surveys has been incorporated into this report. What the service does well:
The comprehensive Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide give prospective residents and relatives the information required enabling them to make an informed choice about where they live. Relatives confirmed that they had found the documentation helpful when considering the home. A survey received stated ‘ although my first visit was unexpected I received very positive help from all staff. I was able to make my decision with all the information I was given’. The residents and their representatives were complimentary regarding the standard of care that is received in the home. Comments regarding the care at Carlisle lodge included: ‘Very high standard of care and support for all residents at Carlisle Lodge’ ‘I am very extremely happy with the care at Carlisle Lodge. She is happy and content as she could possibly be. I have absolutely no concerns about her when I leave’,
