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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,3,6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The pre admission assessment process is good and ensures that service users’ needs are assessed and the home can meet them. The home does not provide intermediate care. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose has recently been reviewed and the manager reported that this is available to all prospective service users. Comments received indicated that the prospective service users have information provided to them as needed. It was noted that the record of the staff qualification regarding NVQ 3 in the statement of purpose was inaccurate and should be amended, as this can be misleading. Dawson Lodge DS0000011591.V332325.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The care records of three recently admitted service users were looked at as part of case tracking. The manager or a senior staff member assessed all the service users. Detailed pre admission assessments of needs were carried out and staff reported that this information is used to formulate their initial plan of care on admission. Assessments of needs included dietary needs, likes and dislikes, manual handling assessments, skin integrity. As part of the assessment a “pen sketch” was also completed that recorded details such as life history, hobbies past and present and sleep patterns. There was evidence that the service users were involved in the assessments, as appropriate in order to ensure that all care needs were identified. The manager reported that the service users are offered the choice of visiting the home prior to admission. Two of the service users spoken with confirmed that they visited the home prior to admission and were able to choose their rooms.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The care planning seen for two of the service users were inadequate. There was a lack of information about the support that the service users required with their care to ensure their needs are met. The daily records of care given were well maintained and detailed. The health care needs and access to external agencies are well managed. The medication management was good and ensured that the service users were protected. The service users are treated with respect and say that their dignity and their right to privacy is maintained at all times. Dawson Lodge DS0000011591.V332325.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 EVIDENCE: The care plans of 3 service users were seen as part of this visit to look at how the home plans to meet the needs of the service users. The care plans for one of the service users seen was detailed and contained good information about the assessed needs of the service user and actions required in order to meet them. This included assessments such as manual handling, dietary needs, continence, medication, psychological needs. It was evident that the staff had spent a lot of time discussing the likes, dislikes, family history, hobbies with the service user in order to formulate his plan of care around his needs. There was evidence that the plan was reviewed at regular intervals to take into account any changes in the needs of the service user. However there was no care plans available for the other two service users. One of the service users had five recent falls and was at risk. Care plans must be in place to demonstrate how the assessed needs of the service users would be met and also to record any changes in their needs as part of the regular review. This was brought to the attention of the manager who reported that the home was in the process of changing their care plans and these have been missed. The manager stated that training in the process of the new care plans was being organised for all staff and there may have been misunderstanding and that the old care plans should have been in place for the two service users identified. The manager confirmed that this would be addressed. Records showed that the staff maintained detailed records of care given, including falls records for one service user. Comments from the service users included “the staff are very good and am very happy here.” Another service user said that “nothing is too much and I am treated well”. All the service users are registered with the local surgery. The manager reported that the home had good relationship with the local primary care trust and the service users were supported to access health care services as required. One of the service users had been referred to the assessment team following recent falls and a visiting professional was attending the home on the day of the visit. The visiting professional discussed that the service user was receiving support with her mobility and was making good progress. The GP did not undertake regular visits to the home but was available on request. Some of the service users also attended the surgery as able. Advice was sought as required from external healthcare professionals, such as referrals to speech therapist for swallowing assessments and advice on continence management. The district nurses were involved in the management of leg ulcer for a service user whose dressing was renewed on alternate days. The manager reported that carers had been advised to apply dry dressing over the old dressing if needed, and report to the district nurse.

A newly admitted service user said that there was no restriction on visiting and her family visited at different times, as they did not live too far away.
