What the care home does well Barn Close provides a welcome pack to all enquiring about accomodation for themselves or a family member. This contains an up to date statement of purpose, service user guide, copies of the latest inspection and Annual Service Review reports. The pack also contains an application for accomodation. All prospective residents are fully assessed prior to admission into Barn Close. The assessment covers all activities of daily living, relevant healthcare needs and medication, diet, mobilty, likes and dislikes and what activities are enjoyed. End of life care is also discussed if this is felt to be appropriate and the people involved are agreeable. All those living in Barn Close have an up to date care plan that is relevant to the initial assessment of needs. The care plans ensure that staff are aware of the needs and aspirations of those living in the home and how these needs can be met. Work is ongoing to ensure every care plan is centred around each individual. The manager and staff work hard to ensure there are plenty of meaningful and relevant activities for the residents to enjoy. Residents` meetings are held and the provision of leisure time is discussed during the meetings. Residents are encouraged to take part in the local community, which includes tea dances and coffee mornings and services at the local church. External entertainers are also invited to the home. Barn Close is extemely well maintained with the Henry Lonsdale Trust, responsible for the home, ensuring that standards are consistently high. There is an annual programme for repairs and renewals and all furnishings and fitting are of excellent quality. The gardens are well maintained so that residents can enjoy the space during the summer months. There are good systems in place for the recruitment and retention of staff, dealt with at the Trust`s head office situated at the other home in the group. There are processes in place to monitor the home`s performance with information gathered through annual serveys and residents` meetings. Policies and procedures are in place to ensure complaints are dealt with in a timely and appropriate manner and staff have completed `protection of vulnerable adults` training.

Staffing is sufficient to meet assessed needs and although there are some vacant hours at this time these are covered by existing staff or those from the other home in the group. Agency staff are never used and this means there is continuity of care for those using this service. Comments about the staff included `The girls are lovely and so helpful`, `I don`t have to worry about mum as she is so well cared for`. What has improved since the last inspection? The home remains very well maintained through the annual progamme. A new `state of the art` assisted bath has been purchased and installed.

We, the Care Quality Commission (CQC) visited the home on the 16th and 18th of December 2009 and we were in the home for a total of 6 hours. As an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) was completed less that 12 months ago we, CQC, did not request another but took information from the one received in April 2009. The AQAA is a self assessment and dataset that is completed by all registered providers. It is one of the ways in which we gather information from the provider about their service and how they believe they are meeting the assessed needs of those people living in their home. The AQAA also asks for information relating to both staff and residents, outlines achievements of the past year and any plans for the future. Survey questionnaires were sent to residents, their families and to visiting healthcare professionals. We received a good response all with very positive comments about the care and support provided . We quote from surveys and dicsussions in this report. Care Homes for Older People

This information is required under the Care Home Regulations. We reviewed any information received from other agencies regarding complaints or adult protection issues but no such information has been received. Whilst in Barn Close we observed the interaction between staff and residents, spoke to those living in the home, visitors and staff and discussed the running of the home with the registered manager.

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. There is a good system in place to introduce people to the home, with information provided and a needs assessment completed. This ensures all who are admitted know their needs can be met in an appropriate way. Evidence: The home has an up to date and relevant admissions procedure, which starts as soon as an application for accomodation is made. There is a welcome pack available that contains all the relevant information and copies of previous inspection and/or Annual Service Review reports. Staff are available to show visitors the facilities on offer and the manager should always ensure that those involved realise the importance of this part of the admissions procedure. All prospective residents are fully assessed by the manager or a member of the senior team before a place is offered. This process ensures the home is able to meet all the needs in a way that is acceptable to the resident. The residents have a written contact and terms and conditions of residency advising

If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who live in Barn Close are involved as far as possible with the management of their individual care plans so they receive the care and support they need in a way they prefer. Evidence: Every resident has an individual plan of care based on the initial assessment of needs with all risk assessments in place and up to date. The manager and senior staff ensure that each care plan is up to date so that each resident receives the right amount of care and support to meet their needs. The information in the care plans covered such areas as mobilty, dietary needs and preferences, health needs and medical history, personal history and social and religious preferences. Nutritional screening and weight monitoring is in place and all healthcare needs are met through visits from the various professionals. Each resident has access to optical, chiropody and dental services. When we looked at the care plans for three of the people living in Barn Close we found them to also show what is important to the individual and how any objectives would be met. We looked at the records for the receipt, administration and disposal of medication.
Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 26 Evidence: These were well kept and showed that all residents received the appropriate medication at the correct time. During the past 12 months a new system of medication has been introduced which, after the initial trial period, is proving to be an easy and safe way to administer the prescribed medicines. Regular stock checks and audits are completed. We observed the way in which staff interacted with residents and found this to be in a calm and relaxed manner. We spoke to some residents during our visit and they were all complimentary about the attitude of the staff and caring, kind and very considerate were some of the comments made. We also met with visitors and thy were equally complimentary and told us they were always made very welcome and also kept up to date with information about their family member who lived in the home.
