The inspector also spent time with staff and service users talking with them and observing the interaction and support staff offered service users. Five relatives were also spoken with who gave feed back about their experiences.

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): 3 and 6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective service users are assured that their needs will be assessed and that staff can meet their needs before they make a decision to move into the home. The service does not offer intermediate care. EVIDENCE: The manager visits prospective service users in the community prior to admission to carry out an assessment, to ensure that staff can meet their needs. If the manager is not able to do this as an emergency admission is required, then she will ensure that she has all the necessary information she needs from the social worker, to check that staff are able to meet the service users needs before a decision to move in is made. There was evidence of the preadmission assessment taking place within service users plans of care. Staff spoken with were able to discuss the process and how they are informed of new service users needs, they stated that it is ensured that all necessary equipment is obtained before anyone moves into the home. One service user Moriah House Care Home DS0000064718.V340921.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 and two relatives were spoken with who said that staff had been very helpful and accommodating when they had moved into the home, to ensure that they were comfortable and safe.

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. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Although staff spoken with were able to discuss service users needs and how they manage risk, potentially service users needs may not be fully met and they remain at a degree of risk due to the lack of documentary evidence. Service users are supported to meet their health and personal care needs. Service users are assured that staff will treat them respectfully at all times. Service users are assured that staff will treat them respectfully at all times. EVIDENCE: Service users undergo various assessments such as manual handling, the activites of daily living and mental health care needs. Plans of care were written in the first person making them more personalised. Important relationships and significant events that have happened in their lives were also highlighted so they service users are supported appropriately. Although plans of care were personalised these only contained basic information in regard to the support staff were to offer service users in meeting their needs. For instance where a catheter (a tube that goes into the bladder to help someone pass urine) was in use, there was no information about how staff were to offer personal hygiene care and the observations they need to make to ensure that Moriah House Care Home DS0000064718.V340921.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 the person is protected from infection. Also in regard to diabetes mellitus there was no specific plan of care in place or information about the specialist foot and nail care they may require. Although risk assessments were in place for the majority of highlighted risks, again the information was brief and these did not cover highlighted risks such as diabetes mellitus and the risk of entrapment when using bedrails, which potentially leaves a person at risk. On speaking with staff they were able to discuss the care and support that service users required and they were aware of the risk one may be at if they have diabetes mellitus and the risk of entrapment when using bedrails. Service users spoken with all stated that they felt that their needs were met and they were supported appropriately. As there were no apparent negative outcomes for service users this evidence has been utilised within standard 37. There was evidence within service users plans of care to show that they have access to specialist services such as the doctor, district nurse, optician and dentist. The manger said that good relations are maintained with the district nurses and they regularly come into the home to assess service users for equipment they may need, there was evidence of these assessments taking place within the plans of care. There was evidence of relevant equipment being available such as specialist cushions and mattresses during the tour of the home. Two service users spoken with said that they could see the doctor if they needed to. The medication procedures were observed, the two requirements set at the previous inspection in regard to recording and administering medication had been complied with. Staff spoken with were able to discuss the changes in their practices in regard to this such as ensuring that service users who require assistance taking medication are offered their medication on a spoon. The medication records observed corresponded with the prescription. There were two incidents were hand written entries had not been signed by two members of staff to show that these had been checked as correct, they did however matched the prescription. Staff have now received accredited training in medication administration. One service user spoken with said that staff give them their tablets, they were pleased about this as they did not have to worry about when to take them. Within plans of care there was reference to ensuring that service users privacy and dignity are maintained at all times. Service users spoken with said that staff were always respectful, and they felt that they treated them in the right way. One service user said that they shared a room, but staff always ensured that the curtain is pulled across.

Service users are enabled to live a life of their choosing in relaxed environment where their friends and family are welcomed. Service users are enabled to make their own choices and decisions in their daily lives. EVIDENCE: On arriving at the home several service users were in the conservatory being assisted by staff to make Christmas hats, other service users were either occupying themselves or watching the television.
