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 provides prospective residents and relatives with a good level of information about the home, its facilities, services and the costs involved. The admission procedures allow for the needs of prospective residents to be assessed by a competent person before admission ensuring that the home can meet the needs identified. The residents are then assured in writing that the home can meet their identified needs. Evidence: The Statement of Purpose and service users guide has been updated since the last key inspection. These comprehensive documents give prospective residents the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. It was confirmed whilst talking to residents that the contract arrangements were clear and understood. There is a copy of the terms and conditions of residency included in the homes information documents. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 25 Evidence: The registration certificate is displayed prominently in the home and was correct. A review of the care documentation confirmed that pre-admission assessments are completed by a competent person. The latest admissions to the home were identified and the records relating to the admission procedures followed were reviewed. This confirmed that pre-admission assessments are completed and provide an adequate assessment of prospective residents care needs. Prospective residents are seen either in their home or hospital before admission and the input from relatives and other professionals is used whenever possible. This approach should be more clearly recorded on the assessment documentation to demonstrate the procedure followed. It was confirmed verbally that the home now confirms in writing that having regard to the assessment that the home can meet the assessed needs of the prospective resident. Ms Yurteri was knowledgeable regarding the people who live in the home and stated that staff receive training in order to meet the residents differing needs. Trial visits to the home can be arranged. It was confirmed that residents are invited to a trial period to ensure suitability of the home this is clearly stated in the Statement of Purpose and in the statement of terms and conditions. Intermediate care is not provided at Lauriston Christian Nursing Home.

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 was found to be meeting residents health and general needs with accessed additional specialist support when needed. The medication practices at present do not promote and protect the health needs of residents. The privacy and dignity of residents are promoted and protected. Evidence: The care documentation pertaining to five residents was reviewed in depth as part of the inspection process. It was confirmed that all residents have their health personal and social care needs set out in an individual plan of care. It is acknowledged that the staff have worked hard on the care plans to ensure they are person centred and specific to the individual.

As discussed there are some areas that need to be further developed and these included: ensuring that there is sufficient guidance in respect of infection control measures when needed and ensuring that the documentation is signed and dated. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 25 Evidence: The care plans include a wide range of risk assessments to monitor the health needs of the residents. These are reviewed regularly and cross referenced within the care plan ensuring that the residents health needs are met competently and consistently. Again there were some minor shortfalls identified however as stated by Ms Yurteri, the care plans and risk assessments are being constantly reviewed and improved. The home need to seek professional advice regarding the documentation of resuscitation status. Residents are registered with a GP from local surgeries. The home support and enable residents to access services from other health care professionals in order to promote their health and well being. The Medication Administration Charts (MAR) were viewed, gaps were identified and these need to be followed up by the senior staff.
