This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. How the inspection was carried out Before the visit: We looked at: • Information we have received since the last visit on 25th July 27thnd August and 27th September 2006. • How the service dealt with any complaints & concerns since the last visit. • Any changes to how the home is run. • The provider’s view of how well they care for people. • The views of people who use the service and the staff . The Visit: An unannounced visit was made on 16th and 22nd During the visit we: • • • • • • Talked with people who use the service, staff and the manager. Looked at information about the people who use the service & how well their needs are met, Looked at other records which must be kept, Checked that staff had the knowledge, skills & training to meet the needs of the people they care for, Looked around the building to make sure it was clean, safe & comfortable, Checked what improvements had been made since the last visit .
August 2007. We told the manager what we found. What the service does well:
Each person who lives at the home has had their needs assessed to make sure the home can give them the care and support they need. Information is available to help people make choices about the service before moving in. All of the people have care plans which give information to staff about how to support them and meet their needs. Care is planned with the people in a way that they prefer and in a sensitive manner. The staff team at the home value the differing needs of the people who live there and make sure that they are aware of each person’s preferences. They treat the people as individuals and support them to live the life they choose as
Fairways DS0000007427.V340172.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 much as possible so they will have new experiences and know that their opinions are valued. People who live at the home experience a variety of activities. This gives them choice as well as building their self-esteem and confidence. The staff team make sure that the home is clean, warm and pleasantly furnished so the people who live at the home have a comfortable place to live. Staff support the people to use local services so they are part of the community. The staff make sure the people’s health care needs are met so they remain in good health. All of the people who live at the home have plans of care and risk assessments. This is so staff have the information they need to support each person and keep them safe. The home has procedures for staff for the administration and recording of medication, which is generally kept to. This is to make sure the people who live at the home receive their medication when they need it and at the correct times. The home has procedures for dealing with complaints and protecting the people who live there from abuse. This means that the people who live at the home feel safe, know they can talk to the staff and that their views are listened to. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
If the Statement of Purpose was up to date this would give people who were thinking about moving into the home the information they would need to make an informed decision. If the care plans were reviewed regularly staff would know that the information in them was up to date and correct so they would be sure that they were providing the people at the home with the support and care they need. Fairways DS0000007427.V340172.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 If the medication records were completed all of the time and they were clear this would make sure that the people who live at the home were been given the correct medication all of the time. This would safeguard and protect them from harm. If the carpet on the stairs were replaced it would make it a much more pleasant area for the people at the home. If the staff kept more detailed records of the meals served this would help them to make sure that the people who live at the home were provided with a well balanced and varied diet.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1 and 2 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The needs and wishes of each person who live at the home have been assessed. This means that staff know what care and support they require.

EVIDENCE: The people who live at the home have had their needs assessed before and after they moved in. Both the manager and staff said that a person could only move into the home if they are certain that the persons needs can be met there. When the last person moved into the home they had been gradually introduced by having visits before they moved in permanently. The home has a statement of purpose and a guide for people so they can decide if the home is where they want to live. Some parts still need to be updated.
