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 standard(s) 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. The comprehensive Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide give prospective residents the information required to enable 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 service users need to make an informed choice of where to live. 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 Copper Beech House H59-H10 S13975 Copper Beech V217877 170505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.20 Page 9 booked, the type of admission, either respite or permanent and the fees to be paid. ANS have an assessment tool, which covers all the needs as defined in standard 3.3. Fourteen pre-admission assessments were viewed, which were found fully completed and informative. The assessment takes place at the prospective residents’ place of residence, and involve the relatives whenever and input from other relevant professionals is sought when required. Four 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 said she had been very poorly at the time. As previously mentioned 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 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. Copper Beech House H59-H10 S13975 Copper Beech V217877 170505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.20 Page 10 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. 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. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 7, 8, 9 & 10. All residents have an individual care plan, which meets their health, social and recreational needs. The medication systems in place are well managed promoting good health and the safety of the residents. The residents are treated with respect and courtesy in all aspects of their care. EVIDENCE: Fourteen care plans were viewed, and were found to be clear and informative. All were found to have a comprehensive plan of care, which is generated from the initial pre-admission assessment. The care plans clearly identify the specific health, personal and social care needs of the residents. The risk assessments were clear and were seen to have been updated on a regular basis. There is evidence of resident/representative consultation in individual plans. Three residents said they had been involved in the discussions regarding their care plan, one said that she had not been consulted, but her husband had, and that it had been her choice at the time. Copper Beech House H59-H10 S13975 Copper Beech V217877 170505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.20 Page 11 From the information gathered from the care plans and then meeting those residents, it was found that the health needs of the service users were met. Specialist equipment was found in place where required, e.g air mattresses, cushions and various hoists with different slings. One resident said “staff were very conscientious” and always made sure she had everything she needed” as she was unable to leave her bed. Another said that he felt he “was well looked after”. Another said, “ if you have to be in a place like this, then this is the place to be”. A relative of a former resident came forward to say that his wife had not been in Copper Beech long, but the staff had been wonderful and had looked after her so well, that he was now a volunteer at the home, “I could not have wished for any better care anywhere”. The clinical rooms were clean and tidy, the equipment well-maintained. There are policies and procedures in place for the storing, administrating, disposal and receipt of medication. The temperature of the fridge and room are recorded daily and of an acceptable temperature to maintain dressings and medications. The Medication Administration Charts were found correctly completed in the main, a few signatures were noted to be missing and had been replaced with ticks, this demonstrated that staff had identified these and followed through ensuring that the medication had been administered. A self administering policy is in place, but there were no residents at this time self-administering their medication. Throughout the inspection it was observed that residents were treated with dignity and respect. One relative said that “ the staff always show respect to residents and nothing was too much trouble”. A resident remarked that” she felt the staff respected her feelings and that she never felt she was a nuisance”.

Two residents mentioned that they always went out on the outings, but chose to not attend the group activities. An activity programme is in place and demonstrates a variety of events. One of the activity co-ordinators, visits individual residents on a one to one basis, and this enables the more isolated residents a chance to chat and share their news. Two residents were completing the daily crossword that had been left for them that morning. One resident proudly showed the ornaments she had made at an activity session. Another said she was really missing the activity lady because she was on holiday and was looking forward to seeing her again. Copper Beech House H59-H10 S13975 Copper Beech V217877 170505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.20 Page 13 Another resident had a jigsaw that she was completing and said that “everyone had a go when they come in to her room”. Two residents spoke of the religious interests and confirmed that they are supported to receive communion and visits from the church of their choice. It was confirmed by talking to residents that the routines of daily living have a degree of flexibility; residents can request meals at a different time if they are going out and in their preference for getting up and for going to bed. One area that was discussed as needing more autonomy and choice is that certain residents wanted to have more baths. The senior staff were surprised at this, as there is no restriction to bathing and agreed to ensure that this is included in their care plan. There is open visiting and two relatives said they were welcomed to the home, whenever they visited. One son said the “staff are all very good, always made him welcome and kept him informed of his mothers’ condition. Another relative said the staff were very hospitable and his wife’s care was good.
