By effective, we mean that people’s care, treatment and support achieves good outcomes, promotes a good quality of life and is evidence-based where possible. By caring, we mean that staff involve and treat people with compassion, kindness, dignity and respect. 4

Five key questions Responsive Well - led By responsive, we mean that services are organised so that they meet people’s needs.

Examples of Good Person Centred Care ‘There were a range of risk assessments including support for a person with behaviour that challenged the service, and strategies to assist a person to understand why they should adhere to medically advised healthy eating guidelines while recognising the person’s individual rights and preferences. This showed that the service strived to promote people’s independence, taking into account the need to minimise risks to their safety’. ‘The rotas showed that although the service was not sure how long the person would remain an in-patient; the deputy manager had made provisional short-term arrangements for the person to have a staff member at their bedside every day, in accordance with their needs’. 12

Examples of Good Person Centred Care ‘Staff knew people very well and were in tune with peoples‘ needs by adjusting the care they provided. For example, we observed a member of staff supporting a lady with dementia to eat very well. The member of staff spoke to her and adjusted her speed well to accommodate the person. The staff member understood when the person wanted a drink noting that the lady’s eyes changed’. ‘One person with particular mobility difficulties had wanted to go out to a concert. We saw staff had obtained and altered a piece of equipment so that this person could go on the outings of their choice’. 13

Examples of Good Person Centred Care ‘There were colour changes to floors and walls, pictorial signage and personalised front doors to assist people to recognise where they were’. ‘The staff also held a weekly ‘farmers market’ in the dining room…. . We saw that a variety of fresh food was displayed and the services housekeeper spoke with people about what food they would like and would cook an individual meal if needed. For example, one person attended the farmers market and saw a pork chop. They remembered how they used to always cook a pork chop for their partner. The staff then cooked an individual pork chop meal for that person’. 14

Examples of Good person Centred Care ‘Understanding peoples' interests and hobbies was key to providing person centred care in the home. One person has been involved in teaching other people how to paint as teaching was their background’. ‘The plans included people’s likes and dislikes and what was important to that person. For example the plan for one person stated it was important that their day clothes were coordinated and they wore make-up’. 15

Examples of Good person Centred Care ‘One person told us that their girlfriend lived at another service managed by the provider and they saw each other regularly. Staff confirmed that they were consulting with the person and their girlfriend in order to help plan a European holiday, in accordance with their wishes’. 16

Examples of Good Person Centred Care ‘Staff were given the opportunity to build meaningful relationships with people and ample time to meet people’s needs and provide companionship’ ‘The activities encouraged people to test their physical and mental dexterity as individuals and groups and enabled people to share their life skills and experiences. Peoples comments included, “It’s amazing, just lovely”. 17

Examples of Good Person Centred Care ‘We saw evidence that a person whose family had brought them from abroad for one last visit had been taken ill on their visit and received care in Cheviot Nursing Home. The support provided to the person, their family and their extended family had been described by the family as, ‘…. nothing but outstanding. ’ ‘This was demonstrated by people having the opportunity to invite friends and relatives into their home for a private dinner party. A notice on the wall advertised this experience with the following wording, ‘Would you and your loved ones like to enjoy fine dining at Cheviot under the stars or in your own room. Your choice of menu for a two course meal special occasions catered for. ’ 18

Examples of Good Person Centred Care ‘Every aspect of peoples' experiences in the home were delivered to the advertised care philosophy of being Supportive, Personal, Attentive, Relationship Centred, Kind, Listening and Enabling or SPARKLE’. ‘People using the service and their representatives had been invited to attend a three day event organised by the provider. Its’ purpose was to consider the future development of the organisation. The results of the most recent questionnaires showed that people were happy with the quality of care and support’. 19
