Two of the care plans viewed indicated that care plans have been reviewed during April 2006, there was evidence on the care plans to confirm care plans had been updated following the review and the third care plan review is due to take place during may 06.

What the care home could do better:

Recruitment practices at the home need to improve for the protection of residents. Under no circumstances must a new member of staff commence employment until at least the return of a POVA First check and then they must be appropriately inducted and supervised until the return of their CRB. During the tour of the premises it was observed paper towels are not used in the home to dry hands. In the bathrooms towels are being used to dry hands. This was raised with the registered provider regarding prevention of cross infection. She explained the environmental health officer had advised them it was ok to use terry towels. The registered provider stated they had no written confirmation from the Environmental health officer advising them of this. The home is advised to obtain written confirmation from the environmental health officer regarding this issue. A quality assurance system that is based on seeking the views of residents and their representatives / relatives is required, which then informs the homes development plan.
