One inspector undertook this unannounced key inspection; the registered care manager was present throughout the course of the inspection. The methodologies used to examine the quality of care and the general service delivery, involved the inspection of records and systems. A sample tour of the premises was undertaken to ensure that the environment was conducive in meeting the needs of the service user group.

Three service user surveys were returned to the CSCI and two service users quoted ‘I am alright thank you for asking’ and ‘I am happy as I am well looked after’. One comment card from a community mental health nurse stated’ The home are currently providing training following a vulnerable adult incident’. Three comment cards were received from three GP surgeries, that although did not make specific comments, one negative point from one GP was noted. He stated that there was not always a senior member of staff on duty to confer with. Eleven comment cards were received from relatives and all comments are outlined below: ‘I have no complaints about the care my mother receives, it is really good, however the homes accounts department keep billing us for invoices we have already paid’. ‘It would help if the laundry turned the clothes the right way round instead of leaving garments inside out, as residents are not able to do this for themselves’. ‘I think the staff at Maple Lodge are wonderful, my mother is so happy and well cared for’. ‘I would prefer to see more mature staff and a better air deodoriser’. ‘My relative died in the home some time ago and the care she received when she was dying was faultless – nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I still visit there and I am made to feel welcome, staff are so warm and friendly. The home is always clean and tidy, we were so very glad that we picked Maple Lodge for Auntie’.

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): 1,3,4,5,6 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

The home’s admission procedure encouraged a trial visit to the home. EVIDENCE: The homes Statement of Purpose provides up to date information relating to the service and provisions available at the home. Information contained within this document was in compliance to Schedule 1, of the Care Homes Regulations. The homes admission procedure incorporated a full pre admission assessment, to establish whether the home would have the capacity to meet the individual’s identified care and social needs. This process was very thorough and due care and attention was paid to ensure that no service users would be admitted to Maple Lodge DS0000005120.V321056.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 the home, that would have a negative effect on the service users already in their care. The management had a clear picture of the type of service users and associated problems that they could offer a good service to and knew what boundaries they had in caring for people with dementia who had forms of challenging behaviour. The ambience of the home and the contentment of the service users were high on the agenda. Discussions with the care manager confirmed that prospective service users were encouraged to visit the home prior to admission, having the opportunity to view the premises and meet the staff team. Information derived from the pre admission assessment provided the foundation for the development of a comprehensive care plan and appropriate individualised risk assessments. Discussions with the care staff identified that there were no service users within residence with any specific cultural or religious needs. Service users would be able to continue to practice their religious faith if they so wished. Maple Lodge House does not provided intermediate care.
