What the care home does well

The standard of care offered to the three residents in the home is good, due to their disability verbal communication is difficult, but staff have learnt how to respond to service users` body language and mood, and also use the assistance of picture cards to ascertain service users` choices. Evidence was available for each service user in the form of a life story photograph album, to show the activities, outings and holidays that the service users had been involved in. One service user who has limited verbal communication told the inspector he was very happy in the home, he liked the staff, and enjoyed the activities he took part in. He also said how much he liked to visit the pub with a member of staff. The registered providers keep the home well maintained and decorated, and there is an annual development plan for the up keep of the home. Staffing levels are good, the home has its own bank staff, so that the service users are familiar with all the staff on each shift. One relative said that they were very pleased with the care that the home provides and that they found the staff very helpful and knowledgeable.

What has improved since the last inspection?

One service user who has become too frail to remain in a first floor bedroom has now moved into a room on the ground floor, this entailed some major alterations to meet with the requirements of the fire safety officer. What was previously a first floor bedroom has now been made into a quiet lounge for the other service users. Re-decoration of bedrooms and communal areas has taken place. A new specialist bath has been fitted into one of the bathrooms to meet the assessed needs of the service users. The outside of the building has been redecorated and a garden wall has been replaced as well as the garden furniture. The front door security lock is now integrated into the fire alarm system to ensure the front door automatically opens should there be a fire and further security lighting has been installed externally.

What the care home could do better:

The registered provider and manager need to further improved their quality assurance checks and publish summary of their findings to ensure that service users are always receiving the highest quality of care.

The home also obtains pre-admission assessments from Care Manager, Psychiatrist/Community Nurse where possible and relevant.

Care plans give very good information regarding the care and support that service users require, both in with personal and social care, and know that potential risk will be managed. Service users are well supported by staff to take make choices in their lives. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The inspector viewed the care plans of three service users presently living at 103 Steyne Road. The care plans were very informative and individual regarding the level of care and support that these three service users need. All care plans contained detailed evidence of how challenging behaviour can be reduced, key points that may spark challenging behaviour. Each care plan is reviewed six monthly, by manager and the service user’s key worker, followed 103 Steyne Road DS0000020991.V319299.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 by a bigger review each year where the key worker, manager, members of multi disciplinary team and families present. As far as their disabilities will allow service users are able to make choices in regard to their everyday lives, what food they would like to eat, what activities they would like to be involved in, where to go on trips and holidays, what television programmes to watch. The inspector observed staff helping a service user to make a choice of what they would like for tea.

All the service users in the home would need help and support with their mail, staff will sit down with service users who have received mail, to help them open it, and to explain the contents.

The manager provides clear leadership throughout the home and all staff demonstrate an awareness of their roles and responsibilities. Quality assurance systems need to be developed to maintain a high quality of care for the service users in the home. The health and safety of the service users and staff is well protected.

One service user said he was able to talk to and is supported by the manager about any issues or problems he may have. Due to the disability of the service users, they are unable to complete quality assurance questionnaires, but the registered manager does send out questionnaires to the relatives and friends of the service users. At the present time there are no quality assurance questionnaires to seek the views of stakeholders in the community. There was recorded evidence to show that the registered manager carries out monitoring of systems within the home. The registered manager now needs to develop this further to ensure that an annual development plan is published to include surveys and monitoring processes and to show how the home intends to carry forward and improve upon the quality of care it provides to its service users. All staff had received up to date training for moving and handling, fire safety, first aid, food hygiene and infection control. The health and safety policies and procedures had been reviewed in the last year. The inspector viewed documentation available in the office in regard to safety checks, and found that up to date certificates were available for gas appliances, fire system, hoist, PATS, electrical installation and legionella. Also available were recent risk assessments for fire safety within the home, health and safety risk assessment, water temperature checks and a weekly vehicle check. Accidents were properly entered into a HSE book. Evidence was available on staff training files to show that they had all received health and safety induction in line with TOPPS specification. 103 Steyne Road DS0000020991.V319299.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 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.
