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, 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. 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. Good pre-admission assessments and information available to the potential residents makes sure that the the resident can be looked after safely and the the service can be confident that they can meet their needs. Evidence: The home refers to its service user guide as The Residents Guide. The service has a comprehensive statement of purpose and a residents guide that clearly show the aims and objectives of the service. Both documents have been updated to include the changes made in the company and the change of name. The care plans and records are well written and include pre-admission assessments from the referring agencies and an assessment carried out by the home. The records include assessments from other agencies or health care professionals if they have been involved in the residents care in the past. There was also information from the adult training centre. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 29 Evidence: The home also carried out their own pre-admission assessment and from that, the other information gathered and observations made during visits by the resident, they are able to make a judgment that they were able to effectively address the persons needs. The information is also used to develop the plan of care and to make sure that they can have in place the things the residents need if they choose to move into the service. The service has not had a person move into the home for some time as they have not had a vacancy. Any potential new service user has the opportunity to visit the home and spend time with the other residents. There is an example of one who had moved into the home after knowing the home by visiting a friend in the service over time and this was beneficial when they made the decision to move in.

The residents were aware of the contents of their plans and understood why a record was kept about them.

Where the resident is unable to communicate effectively the staff have developed skills to interpret different facial expressions and body language. This information is recorded and it makes sure that staff can be aware of their preferences when supporting them to make decisions. Although the four residents have a diverse range of needs, all are treated equally with regards to the opportunities they are offered. This is particularly evident when looking at their life choices. This was shown by the way the staff were discussing the plans they had for the future both long term, for such things and holidays, and short term around the choices of meals. The staff were observed working with the residents in a way which supported them all to take part in the conversation and in the day to day activities and care.

Both staff and other residents were joining in with the discussion. They were all being encouraged to develop their independence.
