What the care home does well The home provides accommodation for service users in single bedrooms to promote a high level of privacy and dignity. Staff are well trained and competencies are assessed on a regular basis to ensure that service users are given the appropriate level of care. A high number of activities are provided for service users to provide them with entertainment and social stimulation. Service users spoken to said that they were very fond of the staff and each service user said they had a favourite member of staff who they could relate to. What has improved since the last inspection? Record keeping has greatly improved since the last inspection. Care plans are now more informative and a greater, more accurate, record of the actual care given to service users is held. A number of maintenance and minor redecoration works have improved the environment despite the plan for a full redecoration and refurbishment programme which is to commence within the next eight weeks. The number and range of activities has increased and this has been reflected in the pictures and craft works that are displayed in the home. Staff were aware of the improvements that had recently taken place within the home and most said that they saw these as a positive improvement. CARE HOMES FOR OLDER PEOPLE

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 and 6. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Comprehensive assessments are now undertaken on service users for long term care and intermediate care to ensure that the home can meet their individual needs prior to their admission. EVIDENCE: All service users accommodated for long term care are given a comprehensive assessment of their care needs prior to admission to the home. This is to ensure that all their needs are clearly identified and to enable the home to provide any necessary equipment or facilities prior to that admission. The files for all recent admissions to the home, on all units, were inspected and were found to contain full information regarding the service users health, care and social needs.
Rowan Garth DS0000025187.V371233.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Service users accommodated for intermediate care have their needs assessed by social workers. The information gathered by the social workers is now forwarded to the home in advance of the admission and the senior staff at the home use this information to assess whether they can meet the service users needs. Service users for intermediate care are accommodated at the home for a short period for rehabilitation and the expected outcomes for the service users are now identified on the assessment documentation. The staff at the home re-assess the service users needs and abilities following their admission to enable the care plans to be prepared. The admission procedure for intermediate care has been reviewed to ensure that the service users are suited to a rehabilitation programme. Discussion with the Primary Care Trust (PCT) is currently taking place to identify systems that will further improve the service offered by the home.

Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A high number and range of activities is provided for service users to entertain, stimulate and provide social interaction to promote a quality lifestyle for the service users. EVIDENCE: Rowan Garth employs three activity co-ordinators to provide recreation and stimulation for the service users. A varied programme is planned for each house and is based on the individual abilities and choices of the service users within that house. Information is gathered on the activities that service users have previously enjoyed and of those that they would like to participate in. Individual and group activities are provided to ensure that all service users are offered stimulation from the range available. On the site visit to one house, service users were enjoying a quiz and there was a lot of laughter and discussion during this session. In another house, one activities co-ordinator was giving a service user a manicure and another co-ordinator was assisting a service user with art and craft. It is evident that the number and range of
Rowan Garth DS0000025187.V371233.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 activities available has increased since the last inspection.

Some service users have been on trips which include The Safari Park, Southport and to see the Tall Ships in Liverpool. Clergy visit the home on a regular basis and will provide services for all service users who request this to meet their spiritual needs. Service users who are able are encouraged to continue to attend church services as they wish. Visitors are welcome in the home although the houses which accommodate service users who suffer dementia have requested that visitors avoid mealtimes. In these houses, mealtimes are quiet and uninterrupted by other activities to encourage service users to take their meals without distraction. Meals are prepared in the main kitchen and are transported to the individual houses in heated trolleys from which they are served. Each house has a small kitchen area where drinks and snacks can be made. Each house kitchen was found to be clean and organised. Service users are encouraged to take their meals in the dining rooms to promote social interaction but are free to take them in their own bedroom if they wish. Dining tables were observed to be attractively laid, with each house providing cutlery and condiments appropriate to the meal being served and the needs and abilities of the service users. The meals observed looked and smelled appetising. A choice of meals is available at all mealtimes and the menus provide evidence that a varied and balanced diet is offered. Special diets can be provided on the advice of the dietician, GP or according to the service users cultural or individual preferences. The menus have recently been reviewed and amended in accordance with service users preferences and dietary guidelines.

Damaged paintwork has been repainted and efforts have been made to provide service users with an improved level of environment. Damaged windows have been replaced to remove the risk of injury to service users. Plans are in place to improve the bathing facilities within the home through the provision of wet rooms to replace baths that are not suited to service users needs. These have been provided in two houses and have proved extremely successful. Three service users spoken to said that they preferred to take a shower than a bath because it was so quick and efficient. They had some mobility difficulties and said that they did not like the bath hoists but were happy with the shower chairs. Each house was extremely clean, tidy and fresh and there were no unpleasant odours. Some of the carpets are worn and stained although it is evident that the housekeeping staff work hard to maintain the high standard of cleanliness. The houses are each on a single level to provide full access for service users and visitors. Ramps provide wheelchair access to all buildings at the home including the main reception area. All bedrooms are for single occupancy to promote privacy and dignity. Service users, relatives and staff had made every effort to personalise bedrooms to reflect the lifestyles of the service users.
