This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. New admissions to the home are only admitted following a needs assessment to ensure that the home can meet the service users’ identified needs. The home does not offer intermediate care. EVIDENCE: The majority of service users living in the home have lived in the home for some time. However, one service user has recently been admitted to the home on an emergency placement and the manager explained that a pre needs assessment had not been undertaken. However, a number of assessments have been undertaken since the service user moved into the home. The inspector advised the manager that any admissions to the home should have a pre assessment to ensure the home can meet the service users needs prior to admission. The manager explained that an assessment tool is normally used and full details of any potentially new persons would be undertaken before the person enters the home. The manger explained the admission procedure and criteria to reflect the principles of admission and assessment appropriate to the home. This should be reflected in the homes statement of purpose. The statement of purpose was not seen at this site visit.
