What the care home does well

The service does well in providing an environment, which meets the varying needs of frail elderly people. The service also does well in providing a high performing specialist service for people with dementia. The home has mastered good concepts in applying the National Minimum Standards for Older People and the Care Homes Regulations 2001 to the dayto-day running of the service.

What has improved since the last inspection?

There have been many improvements and developments since the last inspection. The type of activities and accessibility of equipment have been developed. Communication systems have improved. The environment and environmental cues have changed to help service users maintain some familiarity with their surroundings. Consultation with service users has also developed. A committee has now been set up and meets on a monthly basis. This enables service users to comment on specific issues and matters relating to the day-to-day running of the home.

What the care home could do better:

This service is well managed and performing to a high standard. The Inspector did not identify any areas, which could be improved upon on this inspection. Developmental processes such as quality assurance and monitoring systems have already been identified and the home was working towards achieving its outcomes. The Registered Manager demonstrated that there was good multi disciplinary work taking place to maintain and where appropriate, develop this service.

The assessment methodology used for service users with dementia is based on the “well being observation model”. Service users needs are well met. Staff training reflects service users needs. This includes dementia care and illnesses associated with old age. The home had made very good progress in introducing new methods of communicating with service users with dementia. These were as follows: • • Objects of reference- objects of reference are being used to give service users a definition of when an activity or task starts and when it finishes. Communicating environment – the environment is constantly being changed to give service users a sense of where they are and to help them distinguish certain parts of the building such as doors and door frames and the colour of toilet seats. Equipment used for activities and games are now left within easy reach. These items are no longer put away. Smoking room – this room is fitted with a working gramophone and cues which reflect the 1940’s such as photographs and pictures. • • Clifton Gardens, 59 G61-G10 s32624 Clifton Gardens v214188 250705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.
