What has improved since the last inspection?

Appropriately trained staff are now undertaking assessments of whether the home is suitable for a new resident. Care plans now provide clearer information for staff on how they are to meet the needs of residents. Risk assessments are being completed before a resident looks after their own medication.

What the care home could do better:

A clear audit needs to be maintained of the amount of medication held at the home. This is to ensure that there is no mishandling. Since the inspection the deputy manager has taken steps to address this. Care needs to be taken to ensure that when information is obtained to explain gaps in employment history this information is clearly recorded.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. 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, 2, 3 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents can make an informed choice about whether the home is right for them and they can be confident that the home can meet their needs. EVIDENCE: A Statement of Purpose and a Service User Guide were seen. These documents provide clear and detailed information about the services provided for prospective residents and/or their relatives to refer to. The documents give a good overview of the home, the accommodation, the staff and qualifications, the meals, social activities, a copy of the contract (terms and conditions) and Heyberry House DS0000018894.V343551.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 what to do if there are any concerns/complaints about the service. The brochure is given to all new enquirers. 5 of the 6 residents who returned questionnaires and 4 residents spoken with said that they were given enough information about the home before they moved in so they could decide if it was the right place for them. Potential residents can make several visits to the home before deciding to move in. During these visits they can meet staff and current residents and view the home. Two new residents’ files were examined. There was evidence of appropriate assessments being carried out by appropriately trained staff before new residents move to the home. There was also evidence that information is gathered from social workers and health professionals to inform the assessment. The pre-admission information is used to form a care plan, which is developed shortly after the resident moves to the home. A sample of residents’ files seen contained a contract between the home and the resident. The contract covers the care home’s charges to residents, including any extra amounts payable for additional services, the rights of the resident, services provided and terms and conditions of residence. 5 of the 6 residents who returned questionnaires had received a contract. Residents can live at the home on an initial 6-week trial basis. The home does not offer intermediate care.

Care plans are produced on admission, and are reviewed after six weeks. At six weeks a more detailed plan is produced with the input and cooperation of the resident. Care plans provide for information to be recorded around residents’ specific needs that would promote equality such as their racial, religious and language needs.
