What the care home could do better: There were no requirements or recommendation made to the home and other points, which need to be addressed to help improve the service provided for residents are contained within the main body of the report, general observations were: Care plans are made up with the involvement of residents and relatives, however those seen by the inspector had not been signed and the manager said that she would get plans signed to evidence resident`s involvement in the care planning process. Recording on care plans was made at the end of each shift and records were clear, however to provide good evidence that appropriate care had been given more detailed information needs to be recorded. Each resident has their plan of care reviewed every 8 weeks, this is recorded on the plan but currently there is no evaluation on how the plan is working and it would be beneficial if review notes give an evaluation of how the care plan is working for residents It was observed during a tour of the home that some of the communal areas were in need of decoration and this needs to be carried out to create a more homely environment.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3&6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Any new residents have their needs assessed prior to moving into the home this allows both the home and the resident to see if the home can meet their assessed needs. EVIDENCE: All residents have there needs assessed before they move into the home. The manager carries out a full assessment of prospective new residents to ensure that their needs can be met. This is done using an assessment form, which includes information on; mobility, communication, recreational needs, medical history, sight, hearing, continence, religious & cultural needs, dietary needs, family involvement, history of falls, likes and dislikes, health and personal care and any other particular needs. The home also obtains social service assessments if appropriate. Potential new residents are able to visit the home prior to moving in and then the home and resident can make a decision on whether the home can meet their needs. The inspector looked at the files for Glynn Court DS0000012344.V353761.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 3 residents and these showed that needs assessments were in place and on file.

Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect.

Residents health, personal and social care needs are set out in a plan of care and these give staff the information they need to provide the support that residents need and in the way they prefer. Regular reviews are undertaken but review notes do not always provide clear evaluation of how the care plan is working for the resident. Medication procedures in the home protect residents and they are treated with dignity and respect and their right to privacy is upheld.

There was evidence that risks assessments had been carried out and these gave information for staff on how identified risks could be minimised. The manager said that residents and families were involved in the compilation of care plans, however the resident or relative had not signed those seen by the inspector. Recording on care plans was made at the end of each shift and records were clear, however they would benefit from more information being recorded to provide evidence of care delivery.

The manager said that reviews are undertaken every 8 weeks or earlier if required and she is looking to get residents and relatives involved in these reviews. Key workers, the deputy manager or the manager undertake these reviews and this is recorded in the individual plan of care, the inspector discussed this with the manager and it was recommended that review notes give an evaluation of how the care plan is working for residents. Annual reviews take place and residents, relatives, care managers and other interested parties are invited to attend.
