This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. 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 the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money.

They were clearly written to describe the individualised personal care needs and how care and support were provided taking into account the persons choices and preferences on how they liked to receive care and support; for example times of getting up and going to bed and their likes and dislikes. The care plans detailed the peoples religion, next of kin or significant people in their life, and their current medication. Daily records written by staff were looked at and included reporting on their daily activities, their interactions, achievements and general demeanor throughout a 24- hour period. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 27 Evidence: There was evidence in the care plans to indicate that formal and informal reviews of the care provided to the people using the service had taken place. There was no evidence that the care plans and risk assessments had been agreed by the individuals. This was discussed with the person in charge who said that this was something that could be rectified easily and will now be incorporated into the care plans and risk assessments. During the inspection we spoke to people using the service and they told us they were aware of their care plans and had been consulted. The care plans also contained some risk assessments, which documented potential hazards in the peoples daily lives. Brief details are held in the care plan folders to give the reader an insight into potential problems and actions to be taken. The more detailed versions are held in a separate risk assessment folder. During the inspection the people using the service told us that they are always given choices in their daily lives.

Staff speak to the people using the service advising them to respect each others privacy and to knock on the bedroom doors before entering and to leave if asked to. The staff said this works well between them. The person in charge told us that if the homes office door is closed the people using the service always knock prior to entering. The home holds weekly meetings with the people using the service to discuss the menu for the following week. They look at the menu for the previous week to try to avoid repetition and try to include a healthy living option. The menus demonstrated that the home is able to cater for special diets and the likes and dislikes for all of individuals have been discussed. The home has written menus to offer what was considered a well-balanced meal with healthy living options. All meals are home cooked and varied.
