Following the last inspections, dramatic developments have occurred within the home. Many areas of the home have under gone redecoration and renewal, presenting a homely environment for the service users. The home presents as a lighter more comfortable environment following the works that have been carried out. Numerous pieces of equipment has been purchased within the home including towels, new net curtains, new carpets, new linen, and a variety of pressure-relieving equipment. Policies and procedures within the home have been devised and developed presenting as effective working documents within the home. Training is ongoing with the home and there is an annual training plan. This has supported in the running of the home and ensures all staff are suitably and adequately trained to provide a consistent level of care to the service users. Some of the senior staff within the home have recently undertaken supervisory management training, this will further develop the strength of the management systems within the home ensuring an effective consistent team approach. The development of risk assessments and care plans within the home has ensured an internal monitoring system that is effective. The work and the commitment that has been applied to this area is immense all staff are to be commended for their efforts. It is envisaged that with continued development and maintenance of these working documents that the homes system will continue to develop.

What the care home could do better:

Activities within the home are suitable and feedback from service users was mainly positive. Due to the diverse and complex needs of the service users, it is suggested that the activity time table be prominently displayed throughout the home so all service users are aware and are actively encouraged to make positive choices in their lives. All chemicals within the home must be locked away. Chemicals used within the home must have a data sheet available describing actions to be taken if contact occurs. The home has two small kitchenette areas within the home where breakfast and tea and coffee are served, fridge temperature records were present, however several gaps were identified in the recording and many entries made determined that the core temperatures of the fridges exceeded the safe zone. Some rooms with the home are still in need of redecoration. This has been identified within a renewal and redecoration plan. Works must commence to ensure that all service users are provided with suitably presentable personal space.Service users dignity must be maintained at all times. It is felt that the use of incontinence equipment such a Kylies on each of the communal lounge chairs does not reflect and promote an individuals dignity. If continence were managed effectively within the home the need for this intervention would be minimal. Where a care need has been identified through the completion of an assessment, a care plan and specific input (if a specialist need) must be provided within the home. All service users must have access to the call bell system ensuring assistance can be gained when required. The home is currently developing the provision of meal choices within the home to encourage and empower service user self-determination.

Prospective service users are invited to look around the home. Relatives invariably visit the home prior to admission of their next of kin to the home. The initial admission would be on a trial period for a mutually agreed length of time, which can be extended if need be.
