What the care home does well The home have made good progress with regard to addressing the previous requirements. We looked at most of the care plans that we had seen during the previous inspection. We also looked at three for people who had recently been admitted to the home. The people recently admitted to the home had been assessed by a suitably qualified and trained person. This is usually the manager or a member of the care staff. All of the files seen had care plans in place to cover all of the assessed needs and had been evaluated and updated on a regular basis. People spoken with knew about their plans and were happy with the care they were receiving. What the care home could do better: The care plans could be developed further to make them more person centred. Examples of this were discussed with the deputy manager during the inspection.

Care Homes for Older People Page 3 of 7 What we found:
The purpose of this visit was to assess the progress that the home have made towards meeting the requirements made in the previous random inspection report. Three requirements were made. That the home must ensure that the service users needs are assessed by a suitably qualified or suitably trained person. Ensure that written plans are prepared as to how individual service users needs in respect of their health and welfare are to be met. Keep under review, maintain, update and revise individual service users plans in order to accurately reflect their health and welfare needs. We have reviewed our practice when making requirements, to improve national consistency. Some requirements from previous inspection reports may have been deleted or carried forward into this report as recommendations but only when it is considered that people who use services are not being put at significant risk of harm. In future, if a requirement is repeated, it is likely that enforcement action will be taken.
