Also see our care home review for 1 Charmandean Road for more information

This inspection was carried out on 15th August 2006.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Good. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector made no statutory requirements on the home as a result of this inspection and there were no outstanding actions from the previous inspection report.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The home offers a good staffing ratio, with four staff on an early shift, four staff on a late shift and two waking night staff. In addition there is a driver and a part-time activities person who both work throughout the week-days, helping out where necessary. Observations of staff interaction with Service Users found there to be a good level of skill amongst the team. In addition there was an open and positive atmosphere between the manager and the staff. Feedback from staff about their manager was good. The home does have a quality assurance system, called a continuous improvement plan, and the policy and procedure for this was seen by the Inspector and thought to be very comprehensive and thorough. The home uses satisfaction questionnaires, and these are sent out to Service Users, staff and relatives. The Service Users questionnaires are written in symbol format, making them more accessible for Service Users.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has recently been taken over by Care Management Group, and therefore it is not easy to see what has improved in such a short space of time, however one member of staff spoken with told the Inspector that the new company has changed the menu for the better, they are also are actively encouraging Service Users to go out more and are assisting Service Users to take regular holidays. She believes that the Service Users are getting a lot more choice regarding their lives.

What the care home could do better:

Although it is difficult for the home to include Service Users in drawing up their care plans because of their level of understanding, families, relatives and advocacy services could be used to help with the process. Risk management strategies are documented on individual files, are thorough and well written, but have not been reviewed for many months. General risk assessments are in place for COSHH, medication, fire evacuation, trips out, etc., and these also need to be reviewed. Supervision has not been carried out regularly, in fact, they have not been done since the new company has owned the home. However, the manager said that all staff supervisions are scheduled to take place over the next two weeks. There were a couple of health and safety issues that involved the storage of food, the details of which are documented within the report. The other issue was regarding fire safety checks, and again, the details have been highlighted within the report.

A key unannounced inspection was undertaken by one Inspector on Tuesday 15th August 2006 and lasted a total of six and a half hours. Pre-inspection planning took approximately three days. A full tour of the building took place and included the observation of Health and Safety matters, hygiene issues, decorative order and a general overview of the atmosphere created within the home. Four staff members and the Manager were spoken to at the time of inspection. Case tracking was carried out by examination of relevant records and information held on the staff and residents. The Inspector was unable to talk to Service Users due to the nature of their disability, but was able to observe staff interaction. Policies and procedures were examined during the site visit.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 & 5. The outcome for Service Users was found to be adequate. Prospective Service Users individual needs are assessed prior to admission. A Statement of Purpose should be made available to Service Users, visitors and any interested parties all times. The home should ensure a signed contract between the home and the Service User is in place, detailing breach of contract. EVIDENCE: Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide were not available because a new CMG format has been sent to Head Office to be verified. The documents have not yet been returned to Charmandean Road. The manager said that she will forward copies once they have arrived. The home does have an Admissions and Referral procedure in place. These were forwarded with the Pre-Inspection Questionnaire. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The Inspector sampled two Service Users’ files and found a statement of need and care plan in place for one of the Service Users from the placing authority. The Inspector could not find an assessment for the other file sampled, but one must have been carried out at some point because there was a care plan review on the file, and this was carried out by the placing authority in September 2004. A comprehensive plan of care was seen for those files looked at and contained details of activities, food/drinks likes and dislikes, personal care, healthcare, communication needs and so on. Unfortunately, although very thorough, they have not been signed by the Service Users or a representative. The Inspector could not find a contract for any of the Service Users. The manager said that she is planning to draw up new contracts with each Service User following the change in ownership of the home. The Inspector was of the opinion that this exercise should have been completed at the point of takeover, which was five months ago now. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.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.

The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9. The outcome for Service Users was found to be good. Service Users would benefit from more frequent care reviews in order to continuously assess changing needs and requirements. The home supports Service Users to take responsible risks within the scope of their disabilities. Observation of staff interaction found that staff do respect the rights of Service Users. EVIDENCE: Although it is difficult for the home to include Service Users in drawing up their care plans because of their level of understanding, families, relatives and advocacy services could be used to help with the process. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Service Users living at the home have a wide range of health issues, and therefore the home is required to involve specialist care for them. These include; Speech Language Therapy, Wheel chair maintenance, Physiotherapy, and so on. According to records looked at, care plans have not been reviewed by the home. Reviews have been held by social services on a yearly basis. The Inspector was of the opinion that given the various health issues, that these be reviewed more regularly, at least every six months. The home does have details of local advocacy services. Impact Advocacy group has been supporting one of the Service Users with a particular issue. Risk management strategies are documented on individual files, are thorough and well written, but have not been reviewed for many months. General risk assessments are in place for COSHH, medication, fire evacuation, trips out, etc., and these also need to be reviewed. The home does have a written policy and procedure for unexplained absences in place. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 11, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17. The outcome for Service Users was found to be good. Service Users are supported to access a range of activities despite their level of disability and are encouraged to regularly visit local community facilities and events. Service Users are supported with a healthy diet EVIDENCE: One of the Service Users has been identified to move into the one of the company’s smaller homes nearby. This should provide him with a more independent lifestyle and will hopefully be better suited to his needs. Service Users attend college courses and partake in art, craft and pottery. One of the Service Users attends SCOPE a couple of days per week. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Service Users take regular trips out into the community; shops, supermarket, restaurants, cinema, and so on. On the day of inspection several Service Users and the manager were on a boat trip. In-house activities include music therapy, drama and reflexology. Families do visit regularly and are able to be seen in private. Menus were seen on display in the home. These showed meals to be healthy, balanced and nutritious. The Inspector ate a meal during the visit, chicken casserole with boiled potatoes and vegetables. It was appetising and tasty. A record of meals eaten is kept by the home, along with the weekly menus. One member of staff spoken with told the Inspector that the new company has changed the menu for the better, they are also are actively encouraging Service Users to go out more and are assisting Service Users to take regular holidays. She believes that the Service Users are getting a lot more choice regarding their lives. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20. The outcome for Service Users was found to be adequate. Reviews should be held more often due to the complex needs of the Service Users. Medication procedures are in need of review and improvement. EVIDENCE: The Inspector was not able to fully assess standard 18 at this inspection. Records of health appointments are in place, and include dental, physiotherapy, wheel chair assessments and so on. A diary system and a communication book are used for booking and planning future health appointments, although on the day of inspection staff had forgotten that the reflexologist was visiting to treat Service Users who were on the boat trip! 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Assessments are in place for specific health issues, although it is not clear from records how these are monitored and reviewed. The Care Manager holds a care plan review meeting annually. The Inspector was of the opinion that the reviews should be held more often due to the complex needs of the Service Users. Medication is stored in a lockable, metal, cabinet that is fixed to the wall, which is located in a small locked room. The home uses the Lloyds Pharmacy MDS system and holds a contract with them. Examination of MAR sheets found that there were no discrepancies in signing for medication and all MDS packs were in order. However, a running total of quantities is not carried forward onto the MAR sheet. As the home stocks a large quantity of paracetamol, it is important to stock control and bottles of liquid medication need to be dated upon opening. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23. The outcome for Service Users was found to be good. Service Users are protected from abuse, neglect and unnecessary self-harm. EVIDENCE: The Commission has not received any complaints in respect of this service. The home does not have a ‘general’ complaints policy, only specific ones. For example, there is a procedure to follow should a Service User wish to complain, and therefore it is not clear how other parties would complain if they needed to. A complaints log book is available but there have been no complaints since the new company took over. The Service Users’ complaints procedure is in picture format and was seen displayed within the home. Records examined during the inspection demonstrated that all staff had received training in recognising signs of abuse and further discussions confirmed that they were fully aware of how to report any concerns. One staff member spoken with demonstrated that she was aware of the various types of abuse, and said that would report any incidents to the manager, or if it was a senior member of staff, social services. The West Sussex County Council Adult Protection procedures were available at the home. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

The home has access to a maintenance person who carries out small repairs. Service Users’ bedrooms have been personalised to suit individual taste. The Inspector was shown around one of them and briefly discussed with the Service User their collection of pictures on the wall. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The home has a laundry room. A red bag system is used for soiled clothing. Although there are no signs or infection control notices displayed, the manager said that staff are inducted before they do laundry, so she would expect them to be aware of correct practices. There are hand washing facilities available. COSHH cupboards are located inside the laundry rooms, and although there is a sign on the cupboard doors reminding staff to keep them locked at all times, neither of the two cupboards were in fact locked. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

Staff are trained in Makaton to assist with communication with Service Users. The Inspector looked at two staff files. Seven staff hold and NVQ level 2 or above. Of the files sampled, recruitment procedures show that the home has 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 obtained CRB checks and two written references. Also in place on the files are; applications, disciplinary information and induction checklists. The Inspector spoke with three staff members who were able to demonstrate their awareness of Adult Protection issues and confirmed that they do receive supervision regularly, usually every eight weeks, although there were no supervision contracts available. Individual training records are available and the manager said that she liaises with the training department who provide lists of available training courses. In addition specific training requests can be asked for and these are usually provided. There is also a team matrix showing who has received what and when refresher courses are due for individuals. Supervision has not been carried out regularly, in fact, they have not been done since the new company has owned the home. However, the manager said that all staff supervisions are scheduled to take place over the next two weeks.

Clare Evans has been in day to day charge of the home for several months now, and has applied to become the Registered Manager. She is currently studying for NVQ 4 and intends to complete the RMA after the NVQ. Ms Evans has managed with the company since June 2004, before that she was an acting manager. Altogether she had 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 approximately ten years experience of working with people with learning difficulties. She has attended all mandatory training and is due to do time management, stress management, management skills and Adult Protection part II in the forthcoming year. Observations from staff interaction with the manager found there to be an open and positive atmosphere. Feedback from staff was good. One member of staff said that she is a very good manager; young, but good! The home does have a quality assurance system, called a continuous improvement plan, and the policy and procedure for this was seen by the Inspector and thought to be very comprehensive and thorough. The home uses satisfaction questionnaires, and these are sent out to Service Users, staff and relatives. The Service Users questionnaires are written in symbol format. Mandatory training is provided for all staff and Health & Safety policies and procedures are in place. Monthly Health & Safety checks include; lights, surfaces, fridge/freezer temperatures, 1st aid, decoration and so on. These checks were seen to have been carried out for May and June this year. On examination of the fridge, the Inspector found coleslaw, tomato ketchup, mint sauce, Caesar dressing and Del Monte Juice that were either out of date or had no label on. Storage was poor, with uncooked bacon sitting on top of cooked meats at the top of the fridge. There was also raw chicken in the middle of the shelf, surrounded by salad stuff. Tomatoes were sitting directly on top of the raw chicken! The Inspector concluded that the fridge is too small to cater for an eight bed-roomed house. In addition, temperature checks showed that the fridge is often running high, but there is no action plan for what to do when this happens. A fire file is in place. The home has a service contract with Elite Fire Ltd, and they last carried out a service on equipment on 3rd May 2006. Two drills have been carried out this year, and the Inspector was of the opinion that this is not frequent enough. 1 Charmandean Road DS0000066940.V300164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 SCORING OF OUTCOMES This page summarises the assessment of the extent to which the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Adults 18-65 have been met and uses the following scale.
