| Annotation | This report mirrors that of the programme of inspections of hospitals carried out by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) during 2012, 'Time to listen in NHS hospitals'. Inspectors looked at the care provided to older people across 500 care homes, including 217 homes registered to provide nursing care. The focus was on respecting and involving people who use services, and meeting their nutritional needs. 316 of the homes (about two thirds) inspected met all the standards checked. Homes were inspected against five standards overall: respecting and involving people who use services; meeting their nutritional needs; safeguarding them from abuse; staffing; and records. All the inspections were unannounced, each being scheduled to include a mealtime. The report describes how the inspections were carried out, including the use of an observation tool, the Short Observational Framework. The findings include extracts from inspection reports to illustrate what worked well and what needs to improve. Reports for each of the homes inspected are on the CQC website (at www.cqc.org.uk/DANI). (RH). |
