The Statement of Purpose set out the aims and objectives of the service. The Service Users’ Guide included all information regarding the service. The management of Lyncroft ensures that a full needs assessment of a prospective service user is carried out prior to the admission. Staff also obtain summary of health and social services assessments. Since the last inspection a service user was admitted to the home and the needs assessment of this service user was carried out prior to his admission. Care files examined confirmed that if any specialist needs were identified, specialist services advice were sought, such as Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN) and Psychiatrist. A service user recently had a relapse and this service user was seen by the Psychiatrist. The medication of this service user was reviewed. The risk assessment was also reviewed. The inspector spoke to this service user who informed that she felt depressed at the time and she is all right now. Lyncroft DS0000007246.V309515.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 A service user’s mother interviewed said that the home was ‘’ generally a good service’’. The responsible individual informed the inspector that one of the service users is recently had rehabilitated into the community after a successful stay at Lyncroft.

The service user who was recently admitted to the home had an opportunity to visit the home on three occasions. He was introduced to other service users and members of staff. This service user also had an overnight stay in the home prior to the admission. However, this placement was terminated after one month of stay as this was not a suitable placement for this service user. Six service users files examined contained contracts which were signed by service users and the management of the home. The contracts included a statement of terms and conditions between the home and service users. Lyncroft DS0000007246.V309515.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Service users interviewed informed that they could make decisions about their lives, for example, two service users informed that they were able to cook meals when they wanted and another preferred staff to cook meals for them. The management has reviewed service users risk assessment recently. The risk assessments enable service users to take responsible risks, for example they are encouraged to travel in the local community. However, the responsible individual informed that for three service users who are receiving support from their CPN, risk assessments would be reviewed with input from CPN at the next review meetings.
