This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are assessed prior to moving into the home to make sure that the home can meet their individual needs.

The home uses a proforma pre-assessment record, which looks at the twelve activities of daily living such as hygiene and dressing, communication, eating & drinking, mobility, sleeping, health and mental health conditions etc. From this information staff will be able to make an informed judgement as to whether the home can meet this person’s particular needs. If the persons needs can be met then this pre-assessment will form part of the resident’s plan of care. Residents and their relatives and friends are involved in the care planning process, as they are able to provide valuable and personal Queen Alexandra Hospital Home DS0000024198.V363452.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 information.

Care plans are comprehensive and updated regularly on a special care computerised system, which also alerts the relevant named nurse to carry out certain health screens and checks. Copies of people’s care plans are kept in their rooms as well as on the computerised system. This is to ensure that all care staff have easy access to each person’s records, as only registered nurses have access to the computerised system. Risk assessments Queen Alexandra Hospital Home DS0000024198.V363452.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 regarding skin viability, nutrition, falls and manual handling are carried out and reviewed on a regular basis.
