The care being given during the visits also showed that the staff were knowledgeable about the resident needs. The care was being delivered by staff who were pleasant and courteous and protected the dignity of the residents.

It contains the services Dolphin View DS0000000510.V302985.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 provided and good information about what is available from the home and in the local area. One resident spoken to said that he had seen this document. He said that is particularly important as the home has a non-smoking policy and although he does smoke he still chose to move in. Four care plans were inspected and showed that the manager carries out comprehensive assessments before any resident is admitted to the home. The manager then discusses the resident’s needs with the nursing staff including identifying any equipment, which might be needed prior to the admission. The care managers and the nurse’s assessors report were also available. These assessments then form the basis of the care planning process for the resident. Two residents said that they had been invited to visit the home before they decided to move in although one said “my daughter visited it for me, to see what it was like”.

Receipts were in place for purchases made on behalf of residents and signatures of either two staff or one and the service user were in place. There is still a shared bank account in place. However, the administrator has examined the records and has made changes to ensure that all residents who can have their money saved in their own bank account or money taken by relatives where appropriate can do so. There is also a plan to have money stopped from being sent to the home where the local authority is appointee and the resident has sufficient money for their needs. In house maintenance records were up to date and there are contracts in place to ensure regular maintenance and repair of major electrical and gas equipment.
