The focus of inspections undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) is upon outcomes for Service Users and their views of the service provided. This inspection was a ‘Key Inspection’ that focused on the key standards under the National Minimum Standards and the Care Standards Act 2000 for homes providing care for older people. Prior to the inspection taking place the Commission for Social Care Inspection sent out to the home a pre-inspection questionnaire for completion by the Registered Manager. The completed pre-inspection questionnaire was returned to the Commission for Social Care Inspection and provided information on the management systems within the home. The primary method of inspection used was ‘case tracking’ that involved selecting three residents and reviewing the care that they received and viewing written information on their care, such as the care plans (a care plan sets out how the home aims to meet individual residents personal, healthcare, social and spiritual needs). Discussion took place with residents, staff, visitors and the homes management and general observations of care practices were made. Policies, procedures and records in relation to staff recruitment, complaints, medication and general maintenance and upkeep of the home were viewed. The registered manager Mrs Patricia Bevin was available at the home throughout the inspection. The inspector spent two hours planning the areas to focus on at this inspection, based upon information gained from reviewing the homes service history, the last two inspection reports and information from the pre inspection data collection system.
