These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home provides people with information about its service to enable them to make an informed choice about where to live. Peoples needs are assessed by the home before moving in and they are provided with confirmation from the home that it is able to meet their individual needs. The home does not provide an intermediate care service. Evidence: We were shown a copy of the homes Statement of Purpose, dated 2007. This provides people with information about the services provided. People who live at the home told us they received good information about the service before moving in and a member of the staff team was available to answer any questions or queries they had. The manager tells us the information is soon to be reviewed to ensure the most up to date

Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 27 Health and personal care
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The health, personal and social care needs of people who live in the home are set out in the individual care plans and records are kept of how these are being met. There are policies and procedures for the safe handling and administration of medication. People who live in the home are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Evidence: Information obtained during the assessment process is used to produce individual plans for meeting peoples health and social care needs. The records show these plans are reviewed each month by staff. Documents entitled All about Me and My Family Tree are available on some of the files we looked at. Staff told us the information they had gathered when completing these with the individual has helped with developing a comprehensive plan of care. This demonstrates the home is working to improving its person-centred approach to care planning and how it is delivered. Care plans are periodically reviewed with the person who lives in the home and, where applicable,
Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 27 Evidence: their relatives and relevant professionals. The manager is advised to ensure the minutes of review meetings include the names of all participants. Risk assessments are undertaken and regularly reviewed. People living in the home and, where applicable, relatives and other professionals are also involved in this process. For example external health care professionals have been involved in assessments for swallowing and peg feeds. Other risk assessments show preventative measures are taken by providing pressure relieving mattresses for people identified as high risk. People we spoke to told us good care is provided by staff to reduce the risk of them developing skin problems. Whilst there are risk assessments in place for the use of equipment such as a wheelchairs, some of these contain blank and/or incomplete sections which should be completed to give a better overview of safe practice. People we spoke to told us they are satisfied with the way the home arranges for their health care needs to be met. One person told us they were pleased to find they could remain registered with their own GP when they moved into the home and had recently received a visit. A sheet for recording visits to or by health and medical professionals are kept on each persons file. However, the discussions held show not all visits have been recorded. For example, two peoples sheets show the last visit they received was from the chiropodist in January. The manager is advised to monitor these records more closely to enable accurate auditing to take place. There are policies and procedures for the administration and safe handling of medication and suitable arrangements are made for storage. Medication is managed and administered by the nurse in charge of the shift. The nurse on duty told us she is waiting to receive her certificate for the update training she had attended recently. She also confirmed that, with the exception of paracetamol, no one is currently prescribed as required medication. We looked at the medication record sheets for four people who live at the home and these appear to have been completed by staff in line with the homes procedures. The local pharmacist carries out regular audits and reports good practices are followed by the home. The induction programme for new staff includes a component on treating people with dignity and respect. Senior staff members carry out observations on individual staff practices. Staff we spoke to provided good examples of how peoples dignity is respected such as encouraging them to make their own choices about what clothes to wear, activities to participate in and the food they wish to eat. People living in the home told us they are referred to by their preferred name and staff knock their door before entering their bedrooms. The home periodically provides surveys to people living in the home for them to comment on the service. The majority of comments were positive. The records show were issues about individual support has been raised these have been addressed to the persons satisfaction.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People benefit from living in a home that is well run. There is a clear management structure and staff members are aware of their roles and responsibilities. People who live in the home and their relatives are regularly consulted about the service. However, there are some shortfalls in the homes quality assurance system for monitoring its own performance.

Supervision records for staff show discussions take place about care practices and individual personal development.
Care Homes for Older People Page 23 of 27 Evidence: The responsible individual is a regular visitor to the home and produces reports on his findings on the homes performance. As part of the homes quality assurance system surveys are periodically given to people living in the home and their relatives. Comments about the service are mainly complimentary and there is evidence to show the home responds positively to the comments made. The managers evaluation of the homes performance is based on a scoring system. However, it is unclear how the scores for different aspects of the service have been reached. An annual development plan for the future of the service was not available. This should be produced and made available to interested parties. The home does not act as appointee or handle money belonging to the people who live here. Relatives, or the local authority appointee-ship unit, manage the finances of people who do not look after their own money. Arrangements are made with the person responsible for paying for additional services, such as the hairdresser. Details of such arrangements should be included in the individuals records. The home has a health and safety policy to ensure safe working practices are followed and there is a range of risk assessments. Health and safety training for staff include first aid, food hygiene and moving and handling. An officer from the West Midlands Fire Service visited the home in July 2008. The manager confirmed action has been taken to address issues identified in the report. The random sample of service and maintenance records seen for appliances and equipment were found to be up to date.
