Shirland Road, 93-95 DS0000010874.V364009.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes.
The inspection was unannounced and took four and three quarter hours to complete over one day. During the course of the inspection we spoke with five people who use the service to get their views of the service they receive. We also spoke with some staff and care practices were observed, records and procedures checked and a premises tour undertaken. The Care Manager was present during the inspection. We inspected all key standards and the information seen was triangulated with that gathered since the previous key inspection including Regulation 37 notifications forwarded. Regulation 37 notifications inform us of any accidents or incidents that affect people who use the service. This was compared with the AQAA information returned to us by the home before the inspection. An AQAA is an annual quality assurance self-assessment carried out by the home. The files of three people who use the service were case tracked. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
Fridge and freezer temperatures were not being checked and recorded on a regular basis. They are now being checked and recorded twice daily. A new user-friendlier interview template has been introduced; that focuses on rehabilitation needs, what people can expect from the service and their expected behaviour.

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2. People who use the service experience good outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The needs of people who use the service are fully assessed prior to moving in and they choose if they want to move in. EVIDENCE: Whilst meeting with people who use the service during the inspection, they commented on the assessment procedure and opportunity to visit the service before deciding if they wished to move in. These comments are included in the evidence text. The home has a thorough written assessment procedure that the files of three people who use the service, that were case tracked, revealed is followed. The only change to the procedure from the last inspection is that a new interview template has been added; for the first visit by a person who uses the service. This focuses on rehabilitation needs, what people can expect from the service and their expected behaviour in a more user-friendly way. “What we can expect and what is expected of us was made very clear”. Commented a resident. Shirland Road, 93-95 DS0000010874.V364009.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 There is also a handbook for people who use the service that contains comprehensive information about living at the home, the services provided and local amenities. Westminster City Council and Westminster Primary Care Trust make all referrals through the Joint Homelessness Team and there is a block contract with the home. Case tracking showed there is good quality information forwarded to the home including the most up to date available care plan, adult mental health assessment and risk assessments. The staff team discuss this information and make comments on the referral sheets that feed into the home’s own assessment before deciding if needs could be met and a placement would be appropriate. If the outcome is positive the prospective client is invited for a short visit and then a three-day stay to determine if they want to move in and further identify if their needs can be met. One person said, “I visited before I came in”. Shirland Road, 93-95 DS0000010874.V364009.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices
The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9. People who use this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are comprehensive care plans with information that shows how staff support people to develop their independent living needs. People who use the service are encouraged to make decisions for themselves in a risk-assessed environment. EVIDENCE: Whilst meeting with people who use the service during the inspection, they commented about their involvement in the planning of the care and support they receive. They also commented on their opportunities to make their own decisions in a supportive environment. These comments are included in the evidence text. Shirland Road, 93-95 DS0000010874.V364009.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The files of the three people who use the service that were case tracked showed they each have a comprehensive care plan in place. The care plans are generated from the original assessment that identifies needs, wishes and how to meet them from which goals are established. These are gradually developed as the person who uses the service settles in. They identify separate goals and action plans for people who use the service and staff that work in tandem with them. The plans are underpinned by regularly reviewing risk assessments that enable goals to be achieved. The first risk assessment takes place during the first visit to the home. Although the goals are individual, they all work towards the common aim of eventually enabling people who use the service to live independently. The speed with which this happens depends on the individual and level of life skills they have achieved. The level of care planning involvement is a matter of personal choice with some people who use the service being more involved than others. Residents commented “I am involved in my care plan as it is helping me develop the skills I need”. “I am doing a business course and am being helped with my English and maths”. Monthly care plan reviews take place that feed statutory six monthly reviews with the placing authority. “I choose what I want to do,” said a resident. People who use the service are encouraged and supported to make their own decisions on a daily basis to progress towards independent living within a risk-assessed environment. “I’m going to the Terrace Centre,” said another person in relation to their chosen activities. They decide what activities they wish to participate in with one person attending a photography group. He also contributes photographs of other people who use the service to the weekly printed newsletter. This incorporates everything discussed during house meetings. Topics in the last newsletter included maintenance, equal opportunities, activities, complaints, holidays and hellos and goodbyes. A house meeting was planned for that evening. Most people who use the service are responsible for handling their own financial affairs with support although the local authority is appointee for some. There is a suggestions notice board in the dining area so that people, who would prefer not to put forward their views in public, can have their say anonymously. The organization also distributes annual feedback questionnaires to people who use the service. Monthly Regulation 26 provider visits also take place and a person who uses the service said they sometimes talk to them to get their views. Regulation 26 visits are monthly quality assurance visits carried out by representatives of the provider.

These comments are included in the evidence text. People who use the service are encouraged and supported to develop a range of life-skills partly through the activities they undertake. Whilst encouragement and support is given it is still up to the individual to decide what they want to do, when and how often. The activities vary depending on the individual with one person who uses the service working as a volunteer in a Salvation Army

Another person has just completed initial interviews and tests before starting a college building course. “I feel very well supported”. One person is a Muslim and visits the mosque daily as well a local Lebanese restaurant. This is his cultural and ethnic background. They also have a male Arabic speaking flexi carer who visits daily to assist with any required personal care. “We use the shops and do the weekly food shopping”. Good use is made of local facilities such as day centres, parks, cafes and local shops. There have also been a number of visits to places such as boat trips at Little Venice, local library, Hyde Park and the Gym. A group trip to Brighton is planned for Friday. These activities are co-ordinated by a life-skills worker who visits every other week. They also provide support in developing literacy and IT skills and run a book club. One to one sessions are also available particularly for people who don’t engage easily with others. Daily house routines are fitted around the needs of the individual rather than the other way around. People who use the service are responsible for looking after their own rooms as part of life skill development. They decide if they would prefer to eat as a group or individually with menus reviewed during house meetings. One person who uses the service requires Halal meat as part of their religious beliefs and a vote was taken to see if everyone was happy to have Halal meat, as it would be easier in food preparation. Everyone voted for the Halal option. People who use the service also decided they would prefer a longer breakfast time and this has been introduced. They also said “We go out for meals”. The house rules are based on health, safety and respect for other people and their property. They are contained in the guide for people who use the service.
