Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home.

Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ needs are assessed prior to them being admitted to the home which should ensure that the home can provide the care required. EVIDENCE: During the inspection two files of residents recently admitted to the home were examined. Each file was seen to contain information relating to the individuals needs, which was obtained, from the authority funding the care and given to the home prior to admission. The manager told the inspector that where ever possible he carries out a visit to prospective residents, however information gathered during this visit is not recorded. An assessment of need was carried out by the home following admission and information recorded. The assessment includes activities of daily living, physical health care needs and mental health care needs.
