We are delighted to announce that Oxendon has achieved a 'Good' rating through an independent mock CQC inspection! πŸŽ‰

We are extremely proud of our whole team and the high standards of care we provide every single day.

πŸ”Ž What is a CQC inspection?

Every care home is inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to ensure they meet legal standards, focusing on safety, effectiveness, and quality of care.

The inspection process evaluates services based on five key areas:

Safe: Are people protected from harm?
Effective: Does care achieve good outcomes for people?
Caring: Do staff treat people with dignity and kindness?
Responsive: Does the service meet people's needs?
Well-led: Is the leadership strong and supportive?

Based on the inspection, homes are rated Inadequate, Requires Improvement, Good, or Outstanding.

πŸ“ What is a mock inspection and why do we do it?

A mock CQC inspection is a practice run of a Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, carried out before the real inspectors visit. As with a real CQC inspection, the mock takes place unannounced.

A mock inspection is carried out by an independent provider, in this case Care4Quality, and is designed to test how inspection‑ready the home is and to highlight any areas for improvement. The inspector speaks with management, our teams, our residents and resident's families.

Jasmine ensures our homes are subject to mock inspections, to ensure our homes are always of the highest standard.

A mock inspection can help spot minor gaps or inconsistences that we can address quickly, help highlight areas where we can continue to improve, and great results raise our team members' confidence.

🟒Our Result

Following a surprise inspection on 21 May, we are delighted to receive a 'Good' inspection rating.

Our inspector confirmed that our home is well maintained, our residents well taken care of, and our team are happy!

This outcome is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our whole team at Oxendon πŸ’š

This week is Dementia Awareness Week πŸ’š

To help raise awareness of dementia, we'll be sharing information throughout the week about what dementia is, how to spot signs of dementia, the role person centred care plays in dementia care, and where to find support - including at Jasmine!

A huge thank you to our very own Care Assistant, Lyle Colyn, who put together this vital information as he continues to be a fantastic advocate for dementia care.

What are the early signs of Dementia? πŸ€”

Memory Difficulties: Forgetting recent events or conversions, and asking the same questions repeatedly.

Planning or Solving Problems: Finding it harder to manage bills, follow recipes or keep track of dates and appointments.

Finding the right words: Struggling to find the right words during conversations or losing track of what they are saying.

Getting lost or confused: Feeling unsure in familiar places or forgetting how to get somewhere they know well.

Changes in mood or behaviour: Feeing more anxious, worried, withdrawn, irritable or less interested in usual activities.

What is Person-Centred Care? πŸ€”

Person-Centred Care is about focusing care on the needs of the individual. To provide the best care, our care teams at Jasmine always make sure that people's preferences, needs and values guide the care that is provided, and that their care is always respectful of and responsive to them.

Person-Centred Care includes:

One-to-Ones: Discussions with care providers (usually over a cup of tea!) to understand the history, lifestyle, and preferences of the person receiving care. This could range from their favourite hobbies to the food they dislike!

Personal Care Plans: Care plans outline the care and support an individual needs to maintain their health, well-being, and daily functioning. For dementia patients, personalised care plans will be built around the care and support a person needs, with the family, carers and the individual themselves involved in putting together the plan.

Activities: Our Activities Coordinators across all our homes put together a weekly activity scheduled tailored to the needs of our residents, including those with dementia. A wide range of activities ensures all residents' need are met and everyone can get involved if they choose.
