This was an unannounced inspection undertaken on 23/03/07 and focussed on what the Commission considers to be core standards for a care home for younger adults as defined in the Department of Health (DOH) National Minimum Standards. We also looked for evidence that the home had complied with previous requirements made. Information was gathered from a variety of sources, which included data being sent to the Commission prior to the site visit, discussion with two service users, completed questionnaires from five service users, feedback from one relative, one advocate and discussion with three staff. We also viewed three service users’ files, staff files were not accessible due to the manager being absent. This information was then triangulated to access outcomes for people living at the home. The overall outcome was that the residents and relatives are very satisfied with the service provided at the home. The home had complied with the requirements made at the last inspection.

People were observed making choices during the inspection visit. There was positive interaction between the staff and service users. Information provided in the pre-inspection questionnaire informed the inspector that two service users handle their own financial affairs. There was evidence of comprehensive risk assessments on each of the two files viewed and the home takes action to eliminate or minimise the risk to service users. Two service users went out in to the community independently which demonstrates that they are able to manage the day to risks of being out and about in the community. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

EVIDENCE: This service has been inspected under Care Homes for Adults 18-65 due to the diverse needs of the service users and therefore standard 12, which, looks, at education and employment does not apply to this service. There was evidence however that the service users do attend day centres on a part time basis throughout the week which has been a long standing arrangement. In discussion with one service user they told the inspector that they go out in to the community independently for walks and to go shopping and uses public transport or taxi’s to get about.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. The health and personal care that people receive is based on their individual needs.

Information provided in the pre-inspection questionnaire informed the inspector that six staff had responsibility for the administration of medication. There was evidence in the home that these six staff had trained in the administration of medication. A newly appointed member of staff informed the inspector that he had received training in house by an external trainer. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.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.

Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. The physical design and layout of the home enables residents to live in a safe, well-maintained and comfortable environment, which encourages independence. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: On entering the home it was noted by the inspector that the ceiling in the hallway was stained showing evidence of a leak. This was discussed with a member of staff who said the matter had been reported and works had been done to repair the leak and they were waiting for the ceiling to be redecorated. We did a full tour of the home and found that the communal living areas were well decorated and furnished to a good standard providing homely comfortable surroundings for the service users. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 At the last inspection a requirement was made that exposed radiators in bathrooms were covered and that in the period before this a risk assessment must be undertaken of the risk of burning from exposed radiators. It was noted by the inspector that these requirements had been met. It was also a requirement that the bathrooms and shower rooms be decorated and appropriately finished off. The inspector noted that the bathrooms and shower rooms had had works undertaken and were now suitable for purpose. In six of the seven bedrooms the inspector noted that one bedroom had a broken towel holder, which could be a possible risk to a persons health & safety. We also found that the carpet was quite grubby by the side of the bed and the headboard was split and both looked unsightly. The pillows on the bed were flat offering no support to the head and need replacing. The mattress was also overhanging the base of the bed. In a second bedroom it was noted that a cupboard door was broken off the sink unit, this was discussed with staff and they repaired it immediately. There was also a mattress propped up against the radiator, which made the room look unsightly and was also preventing heat from the radiator getting around the room. The staff on duty were notified of this and took immediate action to rectify the matter. One bedroom was noted to have splodges of toothpaste on the carpet near the sink unit. This was discussed with staff who reported that the staff team have been discussing alternative flooring for this room as this was an ongoing problem. It was noted that the pillows were flat in several of the service users bedrooms and the home would be advised to undertake a pillow and bed linen audit and replace those items no longer fit for purpose. In discussion with one member of staff they reported that the home had plans to redecorate one of the downstairs bedrooms. Overall the home was found to be safe, comfortable, cheerful, airy and free from offensive odours and in feedback provided from five service users they have informed the inspector that they consider the home to be clean at all times. The laundry is sited next to the kitchen so therefore articles of clothing and linen are being carried through an area where food is being prepared. This is due to the design of the home and cannot be rectified. In discussion with staff they reported that items for washing are brought through in concealed laundry baskets, which have fitted lids to prevent the risk of food being contaminated. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Each service users washing is washed separately and the washing machine is fitted with a sluice programme and washes to temperatures, which disinfects harmful bacteria. The floor covering of the laundry room is impermeable. In discussion with a member of staff they reported that service users are provided with aprons to protect their clothing when undertaking their washing and gloves and masks are also provided. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. Staff working in the home are trained, skilled an in sufficient numbers to support the people who use the service, in line with their terms and conditions and to support the smooth running of the home. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The inspector was not able to access staff files to see evidence of robust recruitment practices this was due to the fact that this was an unannounced inspection and the manager was not present. We have previous knowledge that Mencap have robust recruitment procedures and the inspector was satisfied that these procedures where still being implemented after having been in discussion with one most recently employed staff member and a member of bank staff. Both members of staff reported that they had completed questionnaires, provided identification, 2x references and attended a formal interview had completed Criminal Record Disclosure (CRB) checks and had not been employed until Mencap had receipt of these checked documents. At the last inspection the inspector viewed the records of the newest appointed member of staff and found all necessary checks such as CRB (Criminal Record Bureau), POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) and references to be in place. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 In discussion with three members of staff they reported that they had undertaken training specific to their roles and responsibilities. A recently appointed member of staff reported that they were undergoing induction training and had completed mandatory training in health & safety, moving & handling, fire safety, food hygiene, and infection control and medication administration. They had also undertaken epilepsy training, person centred support planning, rectal diazepam administration and safeguarding adults training. In discussion with the bank staff they reported that they have been provided with training from Mencap during their employment. They reported that they had been trained by staff that were deemed competent by the district nurse to take bloods using an EPI Pen. The information provided in the pre-inspection questionnaire evidenced that three staff have completed National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) training this figure falls below the government expected figure of 50 which should have been attained. However the manager has indicated on the pre-inspection questionnaire that three additional staff will start NVQ training this year. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. The management and administration of the home is based on openness and respect and has effective quality assurance systems which has been developed by a qualified, competent manager. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The manager was not present in the home during the site visit and was therefore unavailable for discussion with regards to future plans of the home. Information provided in the pre-inspection questionnaire indicates that the manager has reviewed and updated the homes policies and procedures since the last inspection. 1 Greville Road DS0000012088.V332359.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 The home, have developed a positive enabling monthly questionnaire which they use with the service users, to establish their views about the running of the home. In discussion with a member of staff they reported that an area service manager from Mencap visits the home annually and regular monthly audits are undertaken. With regards to safe working practices the manager ensures that all staff have undertaken mandatory training in moving and handling, health & safety, food hygiene, infection control and fire-safety. There was evidence that fire systems are checked weekly and records kept. One service user demonstrated by drawing a picture that they would know what to do if there was a fire. The home safely stores hazardous substances in a locked cupboard when not in use and a COSHH risk assessment had been undertaken. The kitchen was clean and food was safely stored in the fridge. There was evidence that the staff check the fridge and freezer temperatures twice daily.
