What the care home does well West Dean is a well established home that provides a positive environment for residents who need support whilst at the same time encourages independence. A resident commented that she was made welcome when admitted to this home and that she has found the staff to be supportive and very good. She also confirmed that she is encouraged to be independent, being in charge of her own finances and personalising her room, whilst having the freedom to go out when she wishes. Past visits found that residents can come and go as they wish and are in control of their lives and have space to be alone or mix with other residents/the community as they wished. The manager and care staff were seen to be good at developing positive relationships with individual residents. What has improved since the last inspection? What the care home could do better: The provider needs to address fully the requirement to undertake reviews of the quality of care at the home and inform people of the outcome of those surveys undertaken. All carers must have up to date photographs as part of their procedures for carryout robust recruitment checks.

It was also found that visits were made to the home before admission for some new residents and where this was not possible a visit made by staff from the home to the individual before admission to undertake an assessment of needs’. We looked at two resident’s files who were being case tracked and found that they contained a letter confirming that the provider could meet prospective residents needs. The manager stated that he visits all prospective residents prior to admission. He also said that there have been one recent admission to the home. West Dean DS0000002396.V353388.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The providers AQAA states that ‘the statement of purpose is given to all prospective service users terms & conditions.

On a pervious visit a resident stated that he had attended reviews relating to his care. Other resident’s files seen evidence that they are actively involved in their care plans. However, The manager needs to make a file note indicating those residents had declined to sign their care plan. The providers AQAA shows that, ‘every residents care is based on their own individual needs and requirements this is set out in their personal files care plans and risk assessments’. Resident’s surveys showed that three felt that they make decisions about what to do each day, one felt he/she usually did and one felt that he/she sometimes made these decisions. All residents were also found to have a risk assessment separate to, but linked to their individual care plan.
