Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users’ know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1 and 2 Arrangements are in place for providing (and for developing), appropriate information and documentation in regard to the service, which is accessible to service users. Procedures are in place to ensure that service users receive a comprehensive assessment of their individual needs prior to moving into the service. EVIDENCE: The home has accessible documentation and information in regard to the service provided. A copy of the recently reviewed statement of purpose was supplied to the inspector. This meets requirements. The format of the service user guide was discussed with the registered manager. She reported that she was in the process of developing it into a more accessible format for service users, who have difficulty reading. This should be actioned by the registered person. A service user kindly showed the inspector their personal copy of the ‘residents handbook’. The home has an admission procedure, which ensures that there is proper assessment prior to people moving into the care home. A summary of this procedure is recorded in the statement of purpose. Records informed the inspector that an admission to the care home is accepted on the basis of referral, assessment, visits and a three-month trial. Monpekson Care Limited Version 1.10 Page 9 There have not been new admissions to the care home for several years. The home does not accept emergency admissions.

Service users are supported in making decisions about their lives, and risk is generally identified and assessed.

There was documentation in care plan files in regard to a format of ‘risk management strategies’. This documentation was not completed.
