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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3.

Two of the residents had signed to confirm that they agreed with the information in these documents. One person was unable to fully understand the information and staff had asked her son to sign on her behalf. This document was still waiting to be signed at the time of this visit. Three residents’ care plans were assessed during this visit and each contained a preadmission assessment, which had been completed by a social worker. The manager was advised that the registered person must confirm in writing to the service user, that having regard to the assessment, the care home is suitable for the purpose of meeting their needs, in respect of health and welfare. The home no longer provides intermediate care. Jubilee Court Care Home DS0000043200.V302728.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met.

Residents individual care plans contain sufficient information and are regularly reviewed to ensure that staff are always aware of what support and assistance each resident requires.

There have been considerable improvements to the way in which medication is managed, however risk assessments must be completed with all residents who wish to administer their own medication, to protect residents health and safety. Residents feel that they are treated with respect and their rights to privacy are upheld. “Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service”. Jubilee Court Care Home DS0000043200.V302728.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 EVIDENCE: Three residents’ care plans were viewed as part of this visit, the care plans appeared to address the issues highlighted in the residents’ assessment process. It was noted that all the care plans viewed, had been reviewed and when necessary updated each month, to ensure that staff always have up-to-date information about the care and support each resident requires. Where possible people have signed to confirm their involvement in the care planning process. (This is good practice). The residents spoken with during this inspection said that they believe that their health care needs are being appropriately met. The residents’ records viewed during the visit confirms this. One resident said that she frequently has to go to hospital and a member of staff who she knows and trusts always accompanies her. There have been significant improvements in the way in which medication is managed within the home. Additional training has been provided for all staff that administer medication and the manager has introduced a system to monitor and review the administration process. The registered person has written to all senior staff informing them that they must rigorously follow the home’s medication procedures. It was however noted that two residents who administer their own medication did not have risk assessments, to ensure that they are safe to administer and store their medication. One person was carrying her medication in a bag attached to her walking frame. She also had some non-prescription medication, stored on the top of her bedside cabinet. The bedroom door was unlocked. This resident stated that staff had never informed her that she must store her medication securely, as it could present a health and safety risk to other residents. She did agree to ensure that in future it was stored in her locked bedside cabinet. The manager stated that all Team Leaders are aware that risk assessments must be completed with any resident who wishes to administer their own medication. The risk assessment formats are available and had been completed for one other resident. The risk assessments for the two residents who wish to manage their own medication were completed during this visit. The manager stated that she had Jubilee Court Care Home DS0000043200.V302728.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 contacted her line manager to visit the home and discuss this issue with all staff who administer medication. It was also noted that staff are not recording the temperature in the treatment room where controlled medication is stored. The temperature must not exceed 25°C as it can deteriorate if stored at higher temperatures. All of the residents spoken with during the inspection said that staff are always friendly and respectful and ensure that their privacy and dignity is maintained at all times.

(This is good practice) The members of staff spoken with during this inspection were able to demonstrate a good understanding of the homes Access to Records Policy. Residents meetings are held on a regular basis and appropriate minutes have been maintained. People said that the food provided by the home is of a very good standard, that there is always plenty of food and that alternatives will be provided if people do not want of food suggested on the menu. The lunch on the day of inspection appeared wholesome and nutritious and a vegetarian option had been provided.

The laundry is a reasonable size and is well equipped with washable wall and floor covering. Relevant sections of the homes infection control policy were displayed in the laundry so that staff can have easy access to them. It was noted on the day of inspection that the lock on the laundry room door had been disabled and there were no staff in situ. This means that residents, some of whom may have dementia, had access to the laundry equipment and soiled linen.
