Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

Staff told us they approached people as individuals and asked what they wanted. They described how they respected people’s individual wishes and needs. They were clear that people should receive person centred care. The registered manager described how people contributed to resident's meetings and how staff supported people in person centred ways. The registered manager gave examples of how diversity was valued and respected within the home. The team worked with health professionals to ensure people have access to the care they need.

Relatives told us people’s care was coordinated by staff who worked together to ensure the care provided was suited to people’s individual needs. Staff often sought feedback to maintain person centred care and people felt in control in the planning of their care. One relative said, “When my loved one was not sleeping, staff implemented a new bed and night music for them. They also created a routine plan at night times to enable them to settle better.” Another relative said, “If there was anything I wanted to talk about, I am sure that they would be happy to do so but I have really had no problems since Mum has been there. They have also been incredibly supportive and are just very nice people.”

Care plans were audited each month to ensure they were accurate, current and supported people to achieve the outcomes they wanted. The audits have been updated to digital since the introduction of the eCare system. Action plans were created, and any updates were made by senior staff. Residents meetings took place each month and focused on activities. These reviewed what people had enjoyed and noted suggestions for future sessions. Staff had meetings bi annually. Their views about the service were sought through formal and informal processes. This ensured they were able to reflect their view of the needs of staff and people to the senior team.
