What the care home does well

People like living at Ravensworth Lodge. They can be assured that their care and social needs will be met. They receive care that has been agreed with them and that is delivered in a way that promotes their dignity and respects them as individuals.

Service users comments include, `The staff are marvellous, they seem to know how much help you need without asking` `The care is excellent, I get very well looked after` `Staff assist me with bathing, I really appreciate their considerate care` A relative stated, `The staff give generous support to the various needs of those in their care whilst providing a warm, home like atmosphere.` Service users are encouraged to remain as independent as possible for as long as possible and staff are encouraged to promote independence. The food is much appreciated by all spoken with. Mealtimes are seen as social events and staff are available to assist when needed.Service users enjoy the activities on offer at the home and enjoy the well kept grounds. Many commented they were looking forward to the summer months. People said, `There is plenty to do here, they seem to do a good job of pleasing most of the people most of the time!` `I enjoy the dominoes afternoons` `I don`t always want to join in activities and that`s fine, you`re not made to feel uncomfortable about it` A relative said, `It is just like a five star hotel` Service users relatives and health care professionals feel that their opinions matter and that they are considered.

Relatives surveyed by the Commission for Social Care Inspection had commented, `Ravensworth Lodge is wonderful. The staff are lovely, kind and caring`.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection the registered manager has achieved the NVQ Care Award at level 4. This means that she is now suitably qualified and has the experience to continue managing this service well. An additional toilet has been provided close to the dining room. This is suitable for those people that require the use of wheelchairs or need additional room.

What the care home could do better:

People at the home reported that their care and social needs were fully met. However it would be beneficial if people requiring respite care on more than one occasion had their needs assessment fully reviewed and updated on each occasion. This would ensure that all current needs were assessed and planned for and staff are fully aware of these for each period of admission. Staff at the home that are involved with the personal care of people should be over the age of eighteen. This will enable the staff to gain life experiences and develop their caring skills to provide dignity to people that they care for.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home.

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. 6 is not applicable. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. Service users can be assured that their assessed need will be met. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service EVIDENCE: The records showed that a thorough pre admission assessment is carried out for all prospective service users. Information about service user’s needs is gathered from varying sources. This includes GP’s, healthcare professionals involved in the individual care of the service user and, where appropriate, social services. Service users take a full and active part in the assessment and are encouraged to sign to indicate their agreement with it. Where possible, all service users are visited prior to their admission and they are encouraged to visit the home as well. This gives the service user an opportunity to get to know key members of staff prior to their admission and be greeted by a familiar face when they arrive at the home. All information that is gathered about the health and social needs of service users is used to formulate the plans of care for each service user. Ravensworth Lodge DS0000007668.V335035.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The records of a service user admitted for a repeat period of respite were unclear whether the assessment had been updated to ensure their current needs were addressed.

The plans are based on information received during the pre admission assessment and reviewed and updated as needed. All activities that the service user may be involved in have been the subject of risk assessment and this ensures that service users are cared for safely whilst maintaining their independence and choice. All staff are aware of the care plans and were seen referring to them during the course of their duties. Staff were seen speaking respectfully to service users and giving them the opportunity to express their wishes and receive care in a way that they have chosen. Ravensworth Lodge DS0000007668.V335035.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 At each shift change all staff receive current and up to date information about the needs and wishes of service users.

Service users are encouraged to manage their own finances. The manager does not look after any personal monies for service users. Quality assurance within the service is carried out on a regular basis. The results of these surveys are analysed and discussed in the regular residents meetings, informing them of any actions taken. This reassures service users that their views are taken into account and acted upon. Areas that are included in the surveys include admission procedures, food provided, activities, and the physical environment. Surveys are also sent to healthcare professionals and people who visit the home. One comment received from a healthcare professional stated, ‘This is the best home in Scarborough that I have visited. There is a lovely atmosphere.’ Relatives surveyed by the Commission for Social Care Inspection had commented, ‘Ravensworth Lodge is wonderful. The staff are lovely, kind and caring’. The manager ensures the health, safety and welfare of service users and staff within the home. This is achieved by making sure all health and safety requirements are met and risk assessments that are in place are reviewed regularly.
