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): 1, 2 and 3. Standard 6 is not applicable to this home.

EVIDENCE: The home’s Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide contained information about the care to be expected by people considering moving to the home. The information in the statements required reviewing to ensure it reflected current staffing and personal and social care arrangements. The registered manager is responsible for leading on referral and assessment procedures for people considering moving to the home. The Seymour DS0000063622.V340428.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Information is initially received from the social worker supporting people. The manager will also take the opportunity to meet people to discuss their care needs and wishes in relation to the planned move; relatives are also consulted. People considering moving are encouraged to visit the home in person or relatives will visit on their behalf. A selection of files was examined and contained information from the time of admission, the manager’s pre admission assessment of needs and information relating to personal and health care needs. The assessment process also looked at areas of risk relating to such issues as moving and handling, diet and health issues. The particular risk is identified on the plan and sets out the action to be taken to support and assist the named resident. People privately funded are provided with a contract of their placement, contracts were seen for people who are self funded. People funded by a local authority are provided with a statement of the terms and condition of their placement. The home does not provide intermediate care.

Individual files contained information on the care and support required by the named person in relation to health and personal care needs. Plans of support had been drawn up from information received from the persons care manager, the home’s own assessment documents and discussions with people being supported or their representatives. On touring the building a programme of support relating to personal care was displayed and accessible in a public area. The manager was advised to move the record to a more private, discrete area, accessible to staff only in order to respect residents’ privacy and dignity. The Seymour DS0000063622.V340428.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 People living in the home did however, say that they were treated with dignity and respect by staff when supporting them on personal and social aspects of care. Information relating to health care support is detailed on people’s care plans and a record made of when people received support from their general practitioner and other health professionals. Three health practices are used by people living in the home. District nurses attend to administer injections and renew dressings. No resident required pressure care management. Optician, dental and chiropody care programmes were located in residents’ files. Plans of care also contained information to indicate that internal reviews of care and review of risk assessments were conducted on a monthly basis. Each person living in the home has a named member of staff as their key worker. The home is in the process of looking at training to support the development of person centred care planning. The home’s system of medication was examined. Thirteen staff are designated with responsibility for administering medication. Sample signatures are located at the front of the medication records. All staff had received training in administration and recording procedures, provided by the pharmacist and an independent adviser. The home must ensure the Medication Administration Records (MAR) retain a balance of medication held on the premise to assist in monitoring and accounting procedures. The manager is advised to ensure all records are checked to ensure such information is entered on the medication administration record. The records for one person who was prescribed three different medications in ampule form, recorded that 10 ampules of each medication were in stock when only 9 of each remained. The manager was advised to consult with the district nurses service on this matter. One other person was prescribed a liquid medication, “as and when required”. This medication was consistently administered on alternate days. The manager is advised to consult with the person’s general practitioner on the current administration practice by the home. On touring the building a prescribed cream for a named resident was located in another persons room. All prescribed creams must be held in the named person’s room or in the medication trolley. The Seymour DS0000063622.V340428.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 In another room a prescribed oral spray did not have the prescribing label attached as the spray had been removed from the dispensing package. All such medication must be retained in the original package with prescribing directions. A pestle and mortar were located on the medication trolley. Staff said they did not use it and were requested to remove it from the trolley. Medication procedures must be monitored and audited on a regular basis to ensure residents receive the correct medication.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The arrangements for daily living reflected people’s choices and preferences. EVIDENCE: There was a good range of social care arrangements available for people living at the home. On arrival at the home it was encouraging to note that a number of people were preparing to go out on a planned day trip. This activity would be repeated over the following two days to enable a number of people to participate in the planned event. Each day trip enabled a small group to participate in the event with appropriate cover from staff, volunteers and relatives. One person commented they looked forward to having her grand daughter accompany her on the trip. There was evidence of a commitment to social care programmes with a range of activities in house and through accessing resources in the local community.

Work had been undertaken to level the paved pathway around the garden to ensure it was safe. One person accessed the grounds on a daily basis to exercise. A large marquee is located in the garden and had been used by relatives and residents to celebrate a social event. On touring the home a number of freestanding wardrobes presented as a risk to people accessing such units. The manager was advised to have these units The Seymour DS0000063622.V340428.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 secured to the wall, where identified, following a risk assessment of all bedrooms. Bedroom doors have a “coin” turn locking device and not handles on doors. It is recommended that consideration is given to fitting appropriate locks on bedroom doors so that residents can have their own key. A lockable facility is located in each bedroom. The manager is advised to discuss with people on admission whether they would like a key to their door. The brass plates on all doors required cleaning as most were stained. One emergency call point was activated in one bedroom; the response by staff was very prompt. New call points have been fitted in bedrooms.
