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. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. 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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users can be confident that a full needs assessment will be completed before admission to ensure the home can meet their individual needs. EVIDENCE: The service user files that were examined confirmed that each service user had received a contract with the paying authority and a copy of this contract was held on file. These contracts clearly state the terms and condition of occupancy. Further examination of files found that each of the service users files contained a completed pre admission questionnaire. The files examined were for one service user recently admitted for respite care and five long stay service users. Sunnymeade DS0000003470.V318267.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 All service users were spoken with during the visits to the home. One service user recently admitted to the home informed the inspector that they had received information about the home and had assisted in the completion of an assessment to inform staff of their needs. All files held a completed pre-admission assessment, a care plan and additional information including personal care needs to support staff in the care of individual service users.

The daily care plans are easy assessable for staff on duty. These care plans give detailed instructions to all staff as well as information to new staff to ensure intimate personal care is being provided in a manner that meets with that service users approval. Especially where a service user is unable to express themselves verbally. All care plans seen contain risk assessments and these are complete and are comprehensive in detail. Sunnymeade DS0000003470.V318267.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Evidence was recorded in individual files that service users are referred to the District Nurse team after health monitoring by the homes care staff. All service users have access to all health care services. These files recorded that there was input from other professionals including GP’s, chiropodist and consultants based at the local hospital. One visiting GP that was interviewed stated that he was not aware of any service users with bedsores and that the home provides excellent care. The GP stated that he has staff support when attending to service users and the home will call for advice when needed. The GP said, “One of the better homes I visit”.

The staff member talked through the procedure with the inspector and confirmed that senior staff always carry out the administration of medication. Thus ensuring that service users receive the correct medication. Several staff confirmed they had received medication training. On the second visit to the home the care home manager discussed with the inspector the new storage container the pharmacist had recently introduced. It was evident from these discussions that the manager was taking advice and information from the pharmacist before introducing this system to the care staff. This ensures the care staff fully understand the system. All the service users currently living at the home were asked for their comments. Those service users who were able to confirmed that the staff treat them with respect and protect their privacy and dignity at all times. Observed during the inspection were staff knocking on service users bedroom doors. The District Nurse said that the home is caring for a terminally ill service user very well and has previously cared for service users with a terminal illness with respect and dignity. This included the service users remaining in their own room and the home obtaining a specialist bed and mattress to aid the comfort and wellbeing of this service user.

On the evening of the first visit to the home many of the service users were going to see an ice show. A mini bus had been arranged by the home and the service users spoken with on the second day of the inspection said how much they had enjoyed the trip out. Extra staff had been provided to assist the service users.

One relative was able to confirm that they received information in the Statement of Purpose about the complaints procedure. Two anonymous complaints were sent to the Commission and both stated that service users have to get out of bed by 8am and that service users do not have a choice to remain in bed. Several service users were asked about their bedtime routine. Many stated that they go to bed and get up when they wish. One service user said “ I have always got up early and the staff bring me a cup of tea in bed”. Due to the needs of the service users in the home, as many have dementia, there are some set routines which aid service users. An example would be having set mealtimes. The first visit to the home was carried out at 6.30am. At that time 7 service users were already out of bed and those service users who were able stated that they had no objection to being up at that time. The staff spoken with said that many of the service users were already awake and were always asked if they wished to get up and dressed.
