This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key inspection included preparation, collation of information received, a pre Inspection questionnaire completed by the providers of this service and fieldwork. The fieldwork included tours of the premises meeting with residents, interviewing staff members and the registered manager Lynne George. Discussions with senior managers of Prime Life Ltd. The first of two site visits on 3.5.06 was announced and the second of the two site visits on 6.6.06 was an unannounced visit to the home. Fieldwork took a total of nine hours to complete. Prime Life Ltd completed a Pre Inspection Questionnaire for the home and although received by the Commission after the due date; the information contained within it contributes to and forms part of this key inspection. The home was judged to be of an Adequate quality, there have been considerable improvements to the care and the environment provided, and the management of the home, since the last full inspection; however, there are a number of areas which would benefit from further improvement. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
Wyton Abbey DS0000019777.V299694.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Service users’ weight is now regularly monitored and recorded. Appliances are provided to asssist service users to eat unassisted by staff; promoting independence. Nurse call system panel was fully operational during the visit; staff members are now more familiar, with its operation. The home was generally clean and well presented. A considerable amount of work has been undertaken to improve the environment; flooring replaced, repair and redecoration. An improved cleaning regime for specified areas of the home is in place. External painting in progress. Organisation in the process of undertaking an annual audit of facilities at the home.The home now provides homely, clean and hygienic environment for service users to live in. The manager has sought to improve the care of service users and more recently has focused on improving the environment for all residents. Staff members stressed how much the home has improved since Lynne George took up the post as manager, staff are now supervised regularly and training is available. New staff receive induction, all staff are supported to care for all the residents of the home. What they could do better:
The home must ensure that every newly admitted resident has a needs assessment recorded. A number of care records and MAR (medication records) sheets did not contain a photograph of the individual resident they related to. During the site visits a malodour was noted in a number of bedrooms. The home has yet to achieve 50 care staff trained to NVQ Level 2, however a programme has been put in place and the home will achieve this proportion of their staff trained, to meet this standard by December this year. The Pre Inspection questionnaire and Implementation Plan requested by the Commission were not received by the due date. The Commission had not been notified of all untoward incidents, in accordance with regulations. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3,6 The quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including two visits to this service. People who use this service have good information about the home in order to make an informed decision about whether the service is right for them. The personalised needs assessment means that people’s diverse needs are identified and planned for before they move to the home. EVIDENCE: 3.5.06 There have been 4 admissions since the last inspection, pre admission assessments have been undertaken by Lynne George, the manager or a senior carer. The home has refused inappropriate admissions. Input is sought from family and professionals.
