Both ownership and rental options are commonly available, as well as alternative ways of paying for the services on offer – including part deferring payment until a property is sold.

This might enable you to live somewhere you couldn’t otherwise afford. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
Staff had a good knowledge of people's care needs and personalities. People’s wishes, choices and beliefs were reflected in their care plans. People were supported to make decisions and staff encouraged their independence as far as possible.
Staffing
Staff were also familiar with people’s individual needs and the choices they had made about the care they wanted to receive. Staff knew how to protect people if they suspected they were at risk of abuse or harm. Risks to people’s health, safety and wellbeing had been assessed and staff knew how to minimise and manage identified hazards in order to keep people safe from harm or injury.

The registered manager had introduced effective medicines audits so they regularly checked that people received their medicines as prescribed. In addition the registered manager had also introduced monthly audits of care plans as well as of other aspects of service provision including accidents and incidents, pressure ulcers and falls. The registered manager had reviewed the medicines and complaints policies which we found to be lacking key details at our previous inspection. Activities were arranged according to people’s needs and interests and were meaningful for people living with dementia.

Background to this inspection
Rutland House Care Home provides accommodation and personal care for up to 20 people. At the time of our inspection there were 17 people living at the home. This inspection took place on 14 and 16 November 2017 and the first day was unannounced. At our comprehensive inspection on 11 October 2016, we found the provider was not meeting legal requirements in relation to safe care and treatment and good governance. Following the inspection, we asked the provider to complete an action plan to show what they would do and by when to improve the key questions, safe and well led, to at least good. We undertook a focused inspection on 8 March 2017 to check the provider had followed their action plan and to confirm that they now met legal requirements.
At the last inspection on 16 December 2013 we found the service was meeting the regulations we looked at. All of the people who live in the home have dementia and for some communication is limited. The provider through quality assurance checks, ensured notifications were submitted to CQC in a timely manner when there had been an event or incident at the home. We also found some of the information contained in records or policies and procedures was out of date or inaccurate. We found on one care record two different versions of a person’s support plan, which could have been confusing for staff unfamiliar with their needs.
