This key inspection was unannounced and took into account any previous information held by CSCI including the homes previous inspection reports, their service history and the homes pre-inspection questionnaire sent to the home by the Commission prior to this inspection. The site inspection consisted of case tracking a sample of two residents records and assessing their care. The regulator spoke with one resident who was being case tracked. During the inspection undertaken in June 06 the inspector spent time with two visitors, one being a community nurse and a regular visitor to the home, a member of the care staff, the cook, the assistant home manager and the registered manager. The homes service manager was present during the whole of this inspection. The comments from these people will be incorporated into this inspection report, as will residents questionnaires, of which thirty-seven were received. This inspection has been carried out to examine the administration of medication in which an immediate requirement was made in June 06. All other minimum standards in which a requirement or recommendation was not made will only have a cursory inspection to ensure that these standards have been maintained. A partial tour of the home and a review of a sample of the records were also included. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The home has taken action to address those requirements made in the last inspection of this home. Files seen showed that care staff undertake supervision either by the manager or a senior carer, which is formalised, addressing all those aspects required for the supervision and recording of this Stones Place DS0000002426.V328917.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 process. National Vocational training has now been made available for staff to ensure that adequate numbers of trained care workers are available in the home.
