What the care home does well The home provides many opportunities for service users to express themselves, they have freedom of choice and autonomy over their lives. The homes staff treat all service users as individuals and respond to their needs, wishes and preferences the way that has been agreed with them. Through care planning, assessment and development of the routine it is possible to see the input each individual has had. The plans are person centred, holistic and flexible to give the opportunity for individual choice and control over their lives. Health action planning ensures that the individuals personal and healthcare needs are assessed and that support was provided in the way that they preferred and required. Staff enable service users to have opportunities to maintain and develop social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. Life skills are promoted as are goals which are agreed with the service users and encouraged by staff. What has improved since the last inspection? The home has improved the courses now available regarding specialised training which ensures staff have the required skills, experience and knowledge to care for the service users currently living at the home. Seventy five percent of staff now have an NVQ, National Vocational Qualification in care level two or above. Regulation 26 visits are now taking place monthly. These visits are documented and involve the person undertaking the audit speaking to service users and staff, look through documents including any complaints, and touring the building to ensure any problems are identified and dealt with appropriately. The home has now developed survey questionnaires for service users, staff and other health professionals as part of there quality assurance policy. What the care home could do better: No requirements were made during this inspection, it was recommended that service users towels and bath mats be taken to the bathroom by individual service users and returned to their bedroom or the laundry straight after use to avoid possible cross infection. The training matrix could be further improved if it showed the dates when training has been completed along with the dates refresher training etc are due. Key inspection report

Evidence from this demonstrated that a thorough pre admission assessment is carried out to enable the unit manager to make a judgement as to whether the home will be suitable for and can meet the needs of the individual. The assessment included information gathered from care managers, other health professionals the service user and their family or advocate.
