This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection was carried out by Mrs Diane Peel on the 14th May 2007. During this visit the intended outcomes for 29 standards were assessed; these included the key standards for care homes providing a service to older people. Prior to the visit to the home the inspector reviewed information gathered about the home and comments made in satisfaction questionnaires returned from three relatives, one person living at the home and one Health Care professional. A further three satisfaction questionnaires were received during the inspection process, two from a relatives and one from a person living at the home. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment was returned to The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) and this was used to address areas of improvement which the manager and provider had carried out and also identified areas for further improvement. During the visit a tour of the home took place with all communal areas and private accommodation visited. A case tracking exercise for four residents was undertaken to look at how the assessed needs of this group of residents with diverse needs were being met. Residents were spoken with to gain some information about what it is like to live at the home either in the privacy of their rooms or in the lounge. Staff were observed assisting and interacting with residents in the lounge/dining area. The atmosphere at Firgrove was relaxed and staff were observed to speak to residents meaningfully taking time to explain things when they seemed confused. During this visit the records of three staff were inspected and staff were spoken with informally to find out what it is like to work at the home and to discuss aspects of residents care plans and assessed needs. What the service does well:

Residents have comfortable rooms which they have been encouraged to make their own. There are a number of areas, in which people living at the home can meet with their visitors, these includes extensive well kept gardens and a sun lounge. People visiting the home and people living at the home say that visiting is flexible and that visitors are made to feel welcome. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
The Annual Quality Audit Assessment returned to CSCI identified that some improvements could be made to ensure that there is documented evidence of the discussion regarding feedback of reviews with relative and people using the service by signing the entries.

Improvement identified by the registered person on the homes Annual Quality Assurance Assessment provided to CSCI is that a training matrix is to be put in place and further staff are to undertake an NVQ qualification.

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): 1,3,5,6 People who use the service experience good outcomes in this area. People, who come to live at Firgrove Nursing Home and their families, have the information they need to make an informed choice about where they want to live and people’s needs are assessed before they move to the home, so that they know that the home can meet those needs.

Firgrove Nursing Home DS0000048351.V336094.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The Service User Guide details the homes policy for admissions which includes a “pre- admission assessment to establish to establish the suitability of all potential service users” and “all service users will be given an opportunity to visit the home prior to admission and to have a minimum trial period of four weeks.” People living at the home who returned questionnaires to the inspector reported that they felt that they had received enough information about the home before they moved in. The records of four people living at the home were viewed on this visit. All four included an assessment of need, which had been used to develop a plan of care. The manager now writes to prospective service users once the assessment has been carried out to tell them if the home can meet their assessed needs. This was observed to be in place for one person who had recently moved into the home. Firgrove Nursing Home does not provide intermediate care.

The Annual Quality Audit Assessment returned to CSCI identified that some improvements could be made to ensure that there is documented evidence of the discussion regarding feedback of reviews with relative and people using the service by signing the entries.
