This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This report brings together evidence gathered during a Key Inspection. This included an unannounced visit to Grandsmere Place on 18th December2006 by one inspector over a period of 5 hours. During this visit discussions were held with service users and staff, records were examined and some areas of the home were seen. In addition to this visit, comment cards were sent out to the service users to give people an opportunity to share their views of the service with CSCI. All six service users completed and returned their comment cards. The last inspection took place on 20th March 2006 and no additional visits have been made. A pre-inspection questionnaire was returned promptly. In April 2006 the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) made some changes to the way in which care services are inspected. Care services are now judged against outcome groups. The inspection report is divided into separate sections for each outcome group for example Choice of Home. An overall judgement is made for each outcome group based on the findings of the inspection. The judgements reflect how well the service delivers outcomes to the people using the service. The judgements categories are “excellent”, “good”, “adequate” and “poor”. The judgements are recorded within the main body of this report. More detailed information about these changes is available on our website – www.csci.org.uk What the service does well:
The visit took place during the afternoon and early evening and the atmosphere was relaxed and homely. The service users were assisting the staff in preparing the evening meal and were working together as a team. The service users live active and varied lives and participate in a wide range of community social and recreational activities. During the visit one service user was out with friends for a Christmas meal, and another was preparing to go to the gym. Service users are encouraged to contribute to the decision making process and their views influence the way the home is run.
