Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. 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. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 and 4 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Proper pre-admission procedures are in place so that prospective residents can feel confident that their needs will be met by the home. EVIDENCE: The home has a range of information that is given to prospective residents and their representatives prior to making any decision about moving into the home. Since The Dexters Ltd took over the ownership there has been one admission into the home. The care records for this person show that thorough preadmission assessment procedures are followed to make sure that the home is able to meet people’s needs before a place is offered. The records contain information that has been obtained from other sources such as placing authorities so that the home is clear about what kind of support a person requires and the home also carries out their own detailed assessment of the person’s needs to support this process. Dexters Ltd The DS0000065583.V332604.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Prospective residents and their relatives are invited to spend time at the home before making any decision about moving in and the newly admitted resident said that he was able to have a number of visits to the home before he made a decision to move there and information from these visits is recorded within the person’s care records.

Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7, 9 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People living at the home are encouraged and supported to make their own decisions about their lives whilst taking into account any risks that have been identified. EVIDENCE: Three residents’ care records were looked at and these contain detailed needs assessments, the personal history of each resident and a plan of care that is developed from the identified needs of each individual. The care plans focus on what the residents are able to do for themselves and this encourages their independence. Care plans include clear and easy to follow information about what actions to take in specific situations to promote people’s safety as in the case of a resident who occasionally absconds from the home. The home has a Dexters Ltd The DS0000065583.V332604.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 key worker system and this enables residents to have one to one support from staff. Daily records are up to date and reflect the cares that are being given. Care plan reviews take place on a regular basis so that any changing needs can be addressed. Residents generally feel that they receive support to be able to make their own decisions. This could be observed at the time of the site visit with staff encouraging residents to make their own choices about their daily routines. Residents made comments that they are encouraged to be involved in the day to day running of the home and regular house meetings are held to seek their views. One resident who is having some difficulties in managing his own monies is receiving some guidance from the Citizen Advice Bureau on how to manage the situation and this is being encouraged by staff. This helps to show that staff act in the best interests of the residents. Each resident has a range of risk assessments in place to promote their independence and safety. There are clear strategies in place to manage any difficult behaviour and the residents are involved with this. Members of staff are well aware of the need to maintain the rights and confidentiality of the residents. The manager explained that on occasions it is not possible to share information with relatives about a resident’s care if as has happened on some occasions the resident does not wish for this to happen. Dexters Ltd The DS0000065583.V332604.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

One resident said he is attending a local college for evening classes and has recently started a computer course at a local resource centre. Another resident said she enjoys her voluntary work and it is clearly evident that this is very fulfilling for her and an important part of her life. Some residents like to attend local church services to meet their religious needs. The home has a large car that is used for outings to the seaside. One resident said Dexters Ltd The DS0000065583.V332604.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 how much he had enjoyed a holiday to Skegness last summer and is intending on going again. The home also has a number of pets that are looked after by the residents. Residents are encouraged to maintain contact with their family and friends. One resident said he is able to speak to his relative every evening and visitors are always welcome at the home. The care plans show that residents are encouraged to make their own decisions and are able to carry out their daily routines as they wish. The aim of the support given is to help people with their independence and one resident has an advocate to act on their behalf and to protect their interests. Residents made favourable comments about the quality of the meals on offer at the home. There is choice available and alternative meals are offered if a resident does not like what is on the menu. Vegetarian options are available for those residents who prefer not to eat meat. Residents tended to have their meals sitting together but could eat elsewhere if they wished to do so. It was noted within the care records that weight monitoring does not take place for all the residents and this needs to be done so that any health needs can be identified and acted on. Dexters Ltd The DS0000065583.V332604.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

The care records include information about each resident’s health care needs and records of input from health professionals are available in the records. Each resident has a GP and access to all other health care specialist services. A survey received from a GP indicates that the home works well with medical services in making sure that residents’ health needs are being met. Comments received from care managers indicate that the home is good at taking advice Dexters Ltd The DS0000065583.V332604.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 and communicating with other services to keep them informed about relevant issues in the home and a health professional described the care at the home as “excellent”. Some residents receive visits from community psychiatric nurses to support them with their mental health needs and are supported by staff to attend outpatient appointments at the local hospital where their mental health needs are monitored by a psychiatrist. One resident has some mobility problems and the records show that advice has been sought from an occupational therapist to help with this and as a result the home has purchased some new equipment for this purpose. The home has medication procedures in place for the administration, recording, storage and return of medication. The Medication Administration Records are up to date and accurate and medications are received and disposed of correctly and this is recorded. However, residents individual boxed medication is being stored together in baskets and this could lead to residents being given the wrong medication and some insulin is being stored in a domestic fridge with food items and again this could put residents at risk of harm. One resident is administering her own medication and a risk assessment had been undertaken to enable the resident to be able to do this for herself whilst promoting her safety. All the staff team receive appropriate medication training and this is updated as needed.
