A copy of the previous report was clearly displayed in the entrance foyer.

The practice regarding the planning and delivery of care means that people can be sure that their health and personal care needs will be always be fully met. EVIDENCE: Care plans seen had a lot of relevant information about the individual and their health and personal care needs. They were up to date and had been regularly reviewed. The nursing and care staff complete daily records about a person’s welfare and detail what personal care activities have been completed during each shift. The plans seen had information about visits made by health care professionals such as GP’s, dentists and opticians. A tour of the home showed that equipment necessary for the promotion of tissue viability and prevention and treatment of pressure sores was available and the manager said that he felt they had enough equipment to meet people’s current needs. Many beds are adjustable and a number have specialist pressure relieving mattresses on them. Belmont House, Bodmin DS0000038589.V368852.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The home uses a blister pack system for administration of medicines (as part of the contract with the suppling pharmacy advice is given and a 6 monthly audit of procedures is carried out) they are stored in a locked trolley kept in the treatment room.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 & 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Activities within the home mean that people have opportunities to participate in stimulating and motivating activities. Meals and mealtimes are not rushed making them an enjoyable, social occasion for people.

He said there are enough staff to be able to ensure people are given individual attention and they have a person dedicated to co-ordinating activities.Staff and visitors (who are welcome at all times) were seen engaging with individuals throughout the day. The website says that a minibus can be arranged for outings as necessary and that the home can cater for all religions. One lounge had a TV in it and all rooms TV points if people want one of their own. The AQAA does state that a better structure is needed for activities Part of the care plan includes information about hobbies and interests so that the nursing and care staff have an idea of what interested people in the past.

The garden was in need of some attention, but the poor weather over the Summer has meant little has been able to be done to keep on top of it. Consideration should be given to providing raised flower beds and more seating within the garden as it could be a real asset to the home and enjoyed by more people more regularly. The manager and the AQAA says that feedback from Most people have their meals in the dining rooms where there are staff available to assist people as required. All meals eaten are recorded, along with drinks taken, in some cases, in order to confirm that people are having a well balanced diet.

It was noted that a number of people were wearing bibs during their meal. The manager said this is only when a need is identified and will ensure that if one is to be used the reasons why are detailed in the individuals care plan. Part of a mealtime was observed and staff were seen encouraging and helping people in a discreet and suitable manner.

There are clear lines of accountability within the home, this was demonstrated with ongoing activity during the inspection. The manager said that a representaitve from Almondsbury Care visits the home at least monthly and are very supportive and good to work with.

The money is kept securely in individual named draws in a wall mounted organiser (this was noted as god practice) and is accessible to people when they want it. Staff files examined had evidence of some supervision (one to one) and appraisal sessions being carried out. All records seen were well constructed, up to date and stored securely.Staff files and training records seen showed that statutory training takes place as required. This includes fire safety, food hygiene, moving and handling and first aid. A selection of routine servicing and maintenance documents were seen confirming that people’s health and safety is promoted and protected. There were some cobwebs noted in high areas within the home and a number of windowsills that needed cleaning.
