This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money.

For each person there is a detailed care plan in the form of an Essential Lifestyles Plan that covers all areas of peoples lives including personal care preferences, emotional and social needs, daily activities, how behavioural difficulties are managed and how peoples individual health needs are to be met. Care plans identify risks both personal and environmental and there was evidence in the plans to show that risks were managed to ensure that people could live their Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 27 Evidence: chosen lifestyle in a safe manner whilst still ensuring their independence and safety.

Evidence: From looking at records and talking to service users and staff we saw that the people living in the home are supported with a variety of activities and outings. For each person there is a weekly activities plan in place and there is an overall plan displayed in the kitchen to guide both service users and the staff team of what people have chosen to do each day. We saw that people attend colleges and day care centres and that they are involved in running their own home. One person told us that they really enjoyed gardening and cooking at college and during the morning another person was cooking cakes with staff support. People told us that they helped with their room cleans and laundry and Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 27 Evidence: also in preparing and cooking meals. During the visit people were preparing to go out to shop and have a coffee and we were told that although there is a vehicle available in the home, people were using public transport to aid them to be part of the community. Daily records for each person are kept in separate diaries and these record the activities undertaken each day, the emotional wellbeing of people and the meals that they had eaten. Records were written in clear and respectful language and we saw that there was a very supportive and friendly relationship between service users and the staff on duty. Service users told us that they are are part of their local community an they use local shops, cafes and pubs and one person told us about a church group that she attends. People have an annual holiday and told us that they visit their families and can see their friends when they wish to. The home also has two pet parakeets that people told us they were fond of. There is a weekly menu in place that has been agreed with service users and we saw that a variety of fresh, home cooked meals in provided as well as meals out and occasional take aways. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 27 Personal and healthcare support These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. In order to ensure that people have their healthcare needs met, individual needs are assessed and recorded, the home works with a variety of healthcare professionals and medication is being well managed Evidence: For each person living in the home there is a Health Action Plan in place that details the support needed by people in caring for their physical and emotional well being. Service users regularly see their doctors and records are kept of each visit and the outcome agreed. From looking at the care plans and records for one person we saw that there had been a large number of incidents of challenging behaviour over a period of time leading to the service user self harming by refusing to eat. On some occasions there had been several incidents on some days both during the day and also at night. These incidents had a detrimental affect on other service users who told us that they did not like the noise or being kept awake and the number of incident and accident forms that we saw showed that the service user was clearly saying they no longer wished to live in the home. We saw that some of the staff team had received training in Strategies for Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 27 Evidence: Crisis Intervention and Prevention (SCIP), which is a programme designed to manage challenging behaviour but not all had as yet attended. We saw that the home was working with other challenging behaviour teams to try to assist the person but with little success and at the time of the visit the person had been admitted to an assessment unit in order to address their mental healthcare needs. From looking at records received by the Commission we saw that not all incidents had been reported to the Commission under Regulation 37 as required, we brought this to the attention of the deputy manager and showed her examples of where reports of incidents and accidents to people should have been reported. Comments from staff included, we have been dealing with a lot of challenging behaviour but we have good team work and support each other. The home works with a variety of healthcare professionals in order to meet peoples needs and examples we saw were Speech and Language therapist, Psychiatric services, a reflexology referral and audiology services. People also regularly see their dentists and opticians and records of visits are kept in peoples files. Care plans for one person show that they suffer from Epilepsy and have seizures on a regular basis. There are clear plans in place to guide the staff team on how to identify the type of seizure, what action to take and at what stage to call for an ambulance. There has also been training carried out in the use of a new medication for the person. At the last key inspection a requirement was made regarding the management of medication in the home. At this visit we saw the the storage system had been improved, Medication Recording Sheets (MAR) were complete with no gaps in signing and there was good information available to inform the staff team of the medications they are administering to people and the reasons for this. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 27 Concerns, complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home has a process in place for recording complaints and training the staff team in the protection of people from risk of abuse or harm. This could be improved by recording all concerns and complaints made by service users. Evidence: The home has a complaints procedure that is displayed in the home and is also available in a user friendly version in words and symbols. We looked at the complaints book and saw that no formal complaints have been recorded since the last key inspection. When speaking with service users, one person told us that she would tell her key worker if she was unhappy about anything. We were told that she had complained about the behaviour of another service user upsetting her with noise and challenging behaviour and from looking at incident and accident forms we saw that the behaviour of this person over time had caused a detrimental affect on the other people living in the home. The complaints book had not recorded the complaints and concerns voiced by service users. We spoke to the deputy manager who showed us evidence that service users concerns had been addressed and we were told that these would be recorded in future. Training records showed that the staff team receive training in protecting people from risk of abuse or harm but this needs to be updated for two people. The staff on duty Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 27 Evidence: were aware of their responsibilities and said that they would report any suspected abuse straight away. There has been one safeguarding referral investigated under the West Sussex safeguarding protocols and the outcome was unsubstantiated with no further action taken Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 27 Environment These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home offers an attractive, homely and well maintained environment for the people who live there. Evidence: At the last key inspection visit Requirements were made regarding improvements needed to the standard of the environment. At this visit we saw that service users bedrooms and communal areas had been decorated, a new kitchen had been fitted and the decking to the rear of the building was clean and dry. Service users private bedrooms were attractively decorated and had been personalised with peoples belongings, there were lots of photographs and pictures in rooms and also and evidence of peoples hobbies and college certificates. Some new furniture and carpets had been purchased and one person had recently had new curtains fitted. People told us that they were happy living in the home and one person said, I like my room, I have all my own things and I help to keep it clean and tidy. In the bathroom we saw that there was some damp areas that had caused mold on the tiles, this had already been identified at the recent maintenance check and had been recorded as needing action on 1/10/09. Hot water temperatures are checked and recorded regularly and fire checks had last been carried out on 1/10/09. We saw that Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 27 Evidence: there are some actions still needed from a recent Fire Department inspection and that these had been identified for immediate action in the Regulation 26, Providers report. From looking at records we saw that there are monthly health and safety audits carried out and areas for improvement or action are identified and recorded and also detailed in the Regulation 26 reports. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 27 Staffing These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent, qualified staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable. People’s needs are met and they are supported because staff get the right training, supervision and support they need from their managers. People are supported by an effective staff team who understand and do what is expected of them. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The people living in the home are being supported by a competent, caring and well trained staff team. Evidence: On the day of the visit there were three service users in residence in the home and there was a deputy manager and two support workers on duty. Staffing rotas showed that there are three people on each shift with one person awake at night and one person sleeping and on call. Observation during the visit showed us that the staff on duty had a good knowledge of the people they are supporting and there was a good relationship between them. All of the staff on duty have worked in the home for a number of years and comments from service users included, they are lovely, really helpful and they are nice and they help me. We looked at the staffing records for three people and saw that a robust recruitment process is carried out. All of the files contained the required documentation including a current Criminal Bureau Check (CRB) and two references and we saw that new staff undergo an induction in line with the Common Induction Standards and Learning Disability Award Framework (LDAF). Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 27 Evidence: There is a training programme in place that covers all mandatory training such as first aid and moving and handling and we saw that the staff team attend training in courses such as Autism awareness, medication management, care planning and other specialist training to meet service users individual needs. Some training was due for updates for some people and we saw that this had already been identified and booked on the training matrix held at the organisations head office. There is a shift planning process in use and this is displayed in the home so that each member of staff knows what the expectations are each day. Staff supervision is carried out but was not up to date for all staff. The deputy manager showed us that this had been planned and communicated to staff but as she had only been back in the home for a few days had not yet been carried out. This will be checked at the next key inspection visit. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 27 Conduct and management of the home These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is run and managed appropriately. People’s opinions are central to how the home develops and reviews their practice, as the home has appropriate ways of making sure they continue to get things right. The environment is safe for people and staff because health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately, with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. They are safeguarded because the home follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and makes sure staff understand the way things should be done. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. In the absence of the registered manager the home is being managed by a qualified and competent deputy manager. There is a quality assurance system in place and peoples money is being safely managed. Improvements must be made to reporting incidents and accidents in the home. Evidence: The registered manager of the home has been absent on extended agreed leave and the Commission was informed of the absence. The home has been managed by experienced deputy managers who have worked for the company for a number of years. The current deputy manager has returned to the home recently after working at another home within the group. The company elicits the views of service user, staff and other professionals by means of a quality assurance survey process and we are told that outcomes are published in the ILG newsletter. Where the home manages money on behalf of service users there has been an Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 27 Evidence: improved system put in place. Each service user has their own bank account and cash card and each person has a zip locked money bag, kept in the homes safe. When the bag is opened a numbered seal is broken and is then re-sealed with the number of the new seal recorded by the deputy and one other person. We checked the records for one person and found them to be correct. Regulation 26 providers visit are carried out monthly and we saw that detailed reports with agreed action plans are produced as a result. Health and safety issues are addressed during the monthly maintenance checks and we saw that in Regulation 26 reports, dates had been set for action to address outstanding concerns. As recorded in the Health and Personal care section of this report improvement are needed to reporting any incident or accident that has an adverse affect on the wellbeing of service users and this includes incidents of challenging behaviour or injury to a service user.
