All the records contained preadmission assessments, which had been completed by a social worker. The team leader stated that residents are never admitted without a preadmission assessment. She confirmed that staff always contacts the service users carers/relatives prior to the service users admission, to ascertain if there have been any changes to the way in which care and support needs to be provided.

Service users or their representatives can contact a key worker if they wish to discuss or alter any of the information contained in the care plan. None of the service users whose care plans were viewed during this visitdisplayed behaviour, which would challenge the services provided. However other service users records were viewed and these contained detailed risk assessments and instructions for staff how to manage potentially challenging situations. (This is good practice). Staff were able to demonstrate how they promote choice and decision-making with service users during their stay at Wynhill Lodge.

The records detail what activities they have participated in and whether they enjoyed the activities. Staff consult with service users about the type and frequency of activities they would like to be provided. They use pictures and photographs to assist in the communication process. During the inspection service users were observed participating in a range of activities including pottery, gardening and a trip to the local market. The service users spoken with said that they are very happy with the activities and entertainment provided at Wynhill Lodge. One person was continuing to attend their normal day services, whilst at Wynhill Lodge to provide continuity and reduce the stresses person may experience. People are encouraged to maintain contact with their family and friends and visitors are made welcome at any time. One visitor was spoken with during the inspection; she said that the staff are always welcoming and provide refreshments. The service users spoken with said that they liked the food provided at the home. There is a two weekly rotating the menu, which is satisfactory for most people, as they usually only stay at the home for one or two weeks at a time. However on occasions people do stay for longer periods and the menu could become a very repetitive. The menu shows a choice of food at each meal time, however when the cook was asked how she knows how much food to prepare she stated that she had been advised to cook six portions of each meal. This potentially means that not all service users have a genuine choice about what food they eat. The senior staff stated that they would normally ask people on a daily basis what food they would like so that this information can be provided to the cook. Wynhill Lodge Short Break Service DS0000064092.V340807.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines.

The records of receipt and disposal of medication have been well maintained, the medication is stored securely and an air-conditioning unit has been fitted to ensure that it is stored at an appropriate temperature. The facility for the storage of controlled medication was broken at the time of inspection. However the senior staff stated that new storage facilities have been ordered and that no service users who require controlled medication will be admitted until safe storage is provided. It was noted that there were no photographs of the service users attached to their medication Administration records. It would be useful if photographs were attached to the individual medication records, as this would help to reduce the risk of medication being administered to the wrong person. Incident records show that there had been one medication administration error since the last inspection; this had been dealt with appropriately. The senior staff were reminded that all medication errors must be reported to the Commission for Social Care Inspection under Regulation 37. The homes drugs error policy have been updated to include the reporting process.

Wynhill Lodge Short Break Service DS0000064092.V340807.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 The staff spoken with during the inspection confirmed that they had not commenced employment until two references and a satisfactory Criminal Records Bureau Clearance had been received.
