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. The home undertakes a comprehensive needs assessment prior to a prospective resident being admitted permanently. Where an emergency admission takes place a full assessment is done as soon as is possible. Evidence: Residents who are funded by the local Health and Social Care budget are admitted with a comprehensive health and social care needs assessment which has been compiled by the purchasers. The home will add their own needs assessment to this, where possible, prior to the resident being admitted. If this is not possible then very soon afterwords. Self funding individuals will have been assessed by the home in the environment they are in prior to admission. This assessment will cover a range of topics including social, emotional and health care needs of the resident. It will also take into account any cultural and faith issues and any needs particular to the individual resident. The home needs to demonstrate on the care plan exactly how they are meeting the Care Homes for Older People Page 9 of 25 Evidence: individual care needs of residents. There is comprehensive information around the practicalities of how they will deliver care, but little about how they have assessed and met it on an individual basis. Prospective residents are encouraged to spend some time in the home prior to admission. This can take the form of a meal, or meals at which time they can meet and talk to other residents. One resident spoken to informed the Commission that she had visited the home and seen her room prior to moving in and that she had a say in the decor and furnishing of the room. The home has started a key worker system whereby an individual carer is responsible for a small group of residents. This means residents know that they have a contact on any given shift. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 25 Health and personal care 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’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. 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. The home meets the health and personal care needs of its residents by clear care plans which are inclusive and reviewed regularly. Evidence: Many of the homes residents have a diagnosis of Dementia, which in many cases makes the assessment process quite difficult. The home is continuing to developing staff training in Dementia, having a key worker system and spending one to one time learning the communication and day to day needs of the resident. The home has an activities co-coordinator who provides activities which are accessible by a wide range of abilities. Part of the activities focus on recalling past events through the use of old films and reminiscence. Care plans and information written on the individual was presented in a way that promoted the individuals privacy and dignity. Information held on file included a profile of the individuals life prior to admission. The home also gains information as to the wishes of the individual following serious illness or death. Some residents were found to have compiled a living will. Care plans are compiled involving the individual where possible. Where this is not possible those closest or in a position to contribute are consulted. The care plan is a Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 25 Evidence: document which is reviewed and updated a regular intervals or when the need arises. Care planning involves a certain amount of risk and this is assessed as part of the overall plan. This is done to maximise a persons potential whilst at he same time minimising acceptable risk. Risk assessment are also in place to ensure safe working practices for staff. Residents privacy and confidentiality is upheld and staff are trained in the policy and procedure around confidentiality. Staff are aware that a breech of this policy may result in disciplinary action being taken. The home assesses the satisfaction of its residents with service by consultation with them and those who have access to the service. An annual questionnaire is sent out to each resident or their representative. Information received is analysed and where improvement is required plans are put in place to address these issues. Three service users spoke with us to gain their views on the quality of care provided by the home. Comments received were very positive including The food is very good, They look after us very well There is enough to do One resident wanted to receive talking books, which when mentioned to the manager would be addressed Another comment was that a resident wanted to go into the village on her own. The manager did say that she would discuss this with the resident to see if a solution can be found.

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. The home offers activities to suit a range of ability. Individual residents have a care plan which takes account of their ability and provides stimulation and activity to match this assessed ability. Evidence: The Commission looked at five service user files to gain evidence of compliance with the above standards and found them to be well recorded and contain sufficient information on which carers could provide care in a manner set out in the plan. The home has many residents with dementia. The home is developing an expertise in Dementia care and staff are being training in the care of residents with this diagnosis. The home does try to provide activities and an environment which develops and maintains their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills.

The home has to make an informed decision of the risk involved for the individual. Residents have their domestic routines done for them unless they have requested that they maintain their own room or laundry. Food is presented in a appetising and varied way. Individuals are given a choice of what to eat. The home ensures that food is healthy by buying mainly fresh meat, fruit and vegetables. Drinks hot and cold are available throughout the day.

Evidence: On the day of the inspection the Inspectors were admitted to the home without challenge and had to ask to see a member of staff which took some time. This was a breech of the homes security and could have had serious implications for the safety of its residents. The Commission was given mitigation for this temporary breech of their security and accepts that this was not their normal practice. The home must ensure that where a member of the ground floor staff has to leave the building in an emergency then other staff are notified and that cover is arranged for the ground floor. The home is accessed by a locked front door which has an electronic locking system. Visitors are asked to sign a register on arrival and departure.

All staff have been trained in identification and action required when possible abuse has been identified or suspected. Staff are aware of the restrictions on the restraint of the individual and where steps need to be taken to protect the resident from harm, a comprehensive professional assessment of this risk is undertaken and included in the care plan.
