Primrose House DS0000059611.V304770.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The unannounced inspection took place between 9.50am and 1pm. An opportunity was taken to look around the home, view records and talk to two service users, who were in the home during the visit and Mrs Hon, the registered provider and manager. On the day of the visit five service users were accommodated. Since Primrose House opened in 2001 the home has not been full. The last resident was admitted in September 2004 and Primrose House still has a vacancy. The manager reported that although the home had received referrals for admission they were turned away because, from the assessment, the home was not appropriate to meet their needs. Two service users were staying with parents and another service user was at Reading Road day centre, on the day of the visit. On arrival, the manager was planning to take the two remaining service users out, and so there were no staff on duty, but the manager agreed to stay to assist the inspector complete the inspection. In line with the Commission’s policy, all the key standards were inspected on this occasion and the three previous issues identified at the last inspection, all relating to staff training, were followed up. The home was found to be meeting these. What the service does well: The home provides a safe environment for residents, where there is a feeling of spaciousness within the home. Primrose House is light, bright and there is a pleasant atmosphere within the home. Residents are looked after by dedicated and caring staff, who are suitably supervised and trained. The home is managed efficiently and service users benefit from a well run home with their views being sought on the running and development of the home. The home enables residents to participate in appropriate activities, including access to community services and provides flexibility over meal times. There is continuity of care and residents support needs are met within Primrose House. Primrose House DS0000059611.V304770.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2, 3 and 4 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Primrose House’s admission procedure ensures that prospective service users have opportunities to visit the home. The home has a system of assessment, which identifies prospective service users needs and how they will be met. Service users assessed needs and aspirations are met within Primrose House and are supported to maximise their potential. EVIDENCE: Mrs Hon previously ran a three-bedded care home and brought three residents with her when Primrose House was opened as a registered care home for six service users in 2004. To date the home has admitted five residents. The last service user was admitted in September 2004. Primrose House is currently accommodating five female residents, whose ages range from twenty to fiftytwo years. Primrose House has a settled resident group. The manager reported that although the home had received referrals for admission they were turned away, even though Primrose House had a vacancy, because, from the assessment, the home was not appropriate to meet their needs. Referrals come via Hampshire or Surrey Social Services with the care manager approaching the home to find out if there is a vacancy. Following receipt of Primrose House DS0000059611.V304770.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 the referral assessment the manager then visits the prospective service user, wherever they are residing. If the prospective service user is appropriate for the home they would then make subsequent visits to Primrose House, including meals and meeting the other residents. The manager reported that a recent application was discussed with the residents, who had a say in whether the prospective service user came to the home or not. Although the home was able to meet the prospective service user’s needs the family made alternative arrangements. From discussion with the two service users and a sampling of residents’ files, individual aspirations and needs are clearly identified, based on the wishes of residents. Relevant risk assessments were in place as well as appropriate measures to manage any potential challenging behaviour and minimise risks for residents.
