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): Standards 3, 4 and 5 were assessed. Residents have a full assessment before entering the home ensuring that their needs can be met. Residents and their relatives are informed of the home’s ability to meet their needs. All residents and their relatives are invited to visit to assess the quality, facilities and suitability before making a decision to live at the home. EVIDENCE: Three residents’ care profiles were examined and it was noted that all had received a full assessment prior to admission covering mental and physical abilities. From this assessment care plans for long and short-term needs were developed. The registered provider does not write to the resident and/or relative to inform them of their pending admission, instead discussion regarding admission takes place when the resident and/or relative visits the home. This may result in misunderstanding and it is recommended that the home write to all prospective residents and/or their relatives prior to admission. Three residents and a relative stated that they visited prior to admission and made the final decision to move into the home after this visit.
