What the care home does well

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection all hot water outlets now have thermostatically controlled valves on them thereby ensuring the residents are protected from possible accidental scalding. A number of people like to have some of the internal doors wedged open for ease of access to communal rooms and for air circulation in their bedrooms. However as this could present a risk should there be an outbreak of fire, Mr and Mrs Plevey are arranging for doors to have self closing devices fitted which would automatically release and close the doors when the fire alarm is sounded. Two doors have had the devices fitted to date.

What the care home could do better:

In this pleasant environment the residents in general could not think of anything that could improve their home, which is a good reflection upon the management of this home. The management and the inspector identified that people having a lock on their bedroom door with each resident having a key to their own room could further enhance the privacy for the residents. Mr and Mrs Plevey said they intend to do this in the near future.

This home has been inspected against the National Minimum Standards for older people introduced in April 2002. This year, all registered Care Homes are to be inspected at least twice this year and both visits can be unannounced. However as this was the inspector’s first visit to the home she chose to carry out an announced inspection. This inspection was over a 4-hour period during the day on 12/7/05 and looked at various aspects of care. In the report there are references to the “tracking process”, this is a method whereby the inspector focuses on a small group of residents. All records relating to these individuals are examined, along with the rooms they occupy in the home. Residents are invited to discuss their experiences of the home with the inspector; this is not to the exclusion of the other residents who contributed in many ways. This inspection included discussion with residents, staff and the manager in addition to viewing the home’s required written information such as policies and procedures about various issues for instance ‘Health and Safety’. The residents written plans of care were also viewed for 3 people. The plan of care is a document outlining the needs of the individual resident and how these are to be met.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 3 There are good arrangements for the needs of the residents to be assessed prior to admission. This means that management and staff are aware of people’s needs and can ensure they are capable of meeting them in the most appropriate way. EVIDENCE: People admitted to Keer Sands have pre-admission assessments to ensure the home can meet their needs.

In general, care plans were found to be of a good standard, linking well to assessments and addressing all areas of identified need. This is a small home with a fairly consistent staff team who are able to communicate people’s specific needs verbally on a daily basis. However there is a need to ensure the written care plans are explicit For example one plan of care states ‘Needs assistance when out walking’ The care staff need to know what assistance, thereby ensuring assistance is given as required. The comments received from relatives of the residents included; ‘I cannot stress enough my high opinion of the quality of care given in this wonderful home. It certainly is a most caring HOME’ Keer Sands Residential Home F57 F09 S9869 Keer Sands Residential Home V227384 140705 Stage 41.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 The health care needs identified during the pre- admission assessment form part of the plan of care.
