What the care home does well

Orchard Mews operates as an independent "family style home" with the people who live there making the decisions about their home and lifestyles. The service users are encouraged and supported to exercise independence and to access the local community. The three people enjoy a wide range of work and leisure opportunities, which include working at the local garden centre, attending Community Education Classes in computer training and membership of local clubs i.e. a photographic society. The home is well maintained and offers a safe and comfortable home. The management and administration of the home is based on openness and respect. There are effective quality assurance systems developed by qualified, competent manager(s). Staff providing support to the people living in the home are trained, skilled and experienced. The people who use the service are able to express their concerns, and have access to robust and effective complaints procedure, and are protected from abuse, and have their rights protected. The health and personal care that people receive is based on their individual needs. The people living at Orchard Mews are able to make choices about their life style, and are supported to develop their independent life skills. The service users are totally involved in decisions about their lives, and play an active role in planning the care and support they receive.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The service has continued to give a consistent standard of care, which is clearly highly valued by the people who live at Orchard Mews. Standards have been maintained and the manager(s) and staff continue to put the interests of the people using the service first and foremost. The staff team are now formalising a person centred approach to the care planning. Since the last inspection the Service Manager has been appointed and it is intended they will also take on the duties and responsibilities of the Registered Manager for the Scope services in the Gillingham area. The current Registered Manager agreed to take on the duties and responsibilities as the Registered Manager on a temporary basis and is happy with the future arrangements, which allows him to work as Team Leader. The Service Manager has successfully completed the Registered Manager`s award. Staff continue to study for National Vocational Qualifications to date seven staff have achieved an NVQ level 3 and two have achieved an Assessors Award. Five staff are currently working towards an NVQ.

What the care home could do better:

The manager supported by the Service Manager should continue to maintain the positive standards achieved, ensuring that service users needs are met and that the outcomes for people living at the home remain positive. Staff training is currently recorded on personal training sheets however the Service Manager hopes to develop individual staff development files, which will supplement the basic training information.

DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key inspection of Orchard Mews has been carried out by using information from previous inspections, information from the providers, and most importantly information from the people living and working at Orchard Mews. This was an announced inspection taking place over five hours. The inspector spoke with two of the three people who live at the home, the registered manager, and the service manager. The inspector was shown round the home, viewing all the communal areas and one of the three bedrooms. Two of the people were working at the local garden centre, owned and managed by Scope and the inspector was given a full tour of the working environment and public areas of the centre. Relevant records related to the standards assessed were read. The Registered Manager who has been undertaking this role in a temporary capacity will shortly stand down when the Service Manager has completed their application to be approved as the Registered Manager for the Scope Services in Gillingham. The inspector would like to take this opportunity to thank the service users and staff for their hospitality and assistance during this inspection 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who live at Orchard Mews are given information about the services available to them. Any admission to the service would follow a process of assessment of suitability. EVIDENCE: Orchard Mews is a three-bedroom house and the last person moved to Orchard Mews in 2000. It is not anticipated that there will be any admissions in the foreseeable future, however the manager explained that if a new person were to move to Orchard Mews, then she and the staff would ensure that an assessment is carried out before offering a place. The records showed that when people have previously moved into the home the assessment process continues after admission. Scope have a clear and documented admission process, and staff demonstrated an understanding of the need for a good assessment prior to admission. In addition the Service User Guide clearly states “all prospective service users are invited to visit where they can stay overnight giving them a chance to meet with other service users and staff, view their bedroom, DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 common areas and garden and have a meal”. During this visit (with family, friends, advocate and interpreters as appropriate) they will have a chance to discuss how the service can meet their needs and see the type of records that are kept about service users. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Individuals are involved in decisions about their lives and play an active role in planning the care and support they receive in a setting that they are happy in. EVIDENCE: Two of the three service users were met during the visit. Both were relaxed and were keen to express how happy they were with the services/home and that they had no desire to move. This picture was also supported by discussions with staff, observations of interactions and examination of care plans and reviews. The manager explained that the main principle behind the work she and the staff do is based on enabling people to take control of their own lives. Service users who were spoken with said that they make their own decisions about the care and support they receive. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The records show that the manager and staff have consulted individual service users about their needs; about the things they like and dislike doing and how any risks to them can be reduced or even eliminated. The daily records are written with the individual person and staff stated this helps the individual person understand the practical use of keeping the notes. Each service user is linked to one specific member of staff known as their key worker and they will then have regular key worker meetings to review their care and support plans. Everyone is given the choice of where they would like their records stored and currently all records for people living at Orchard Mews are kept at Mulberry Court. The care plans are well presented and cover all aspects of the person’s lifestyle and personal care and health needs. The Plans are clearly set out with an index, sections include, health care, emotional care, care needs, my home, social and daily activities, risk assessments, annual review, action plans and monthly round up/monitoring meetings. The plans are written using plain language for example under emotional care the section starts, “In this section you can find out what I can do and where I would like staff to support me in the following areas”. One person kindly took the time to sit down with the inspector and talk through their Care Plan, which contained clear information, a detailed life story and all information relating to specific health care. The service user confirmed the regular meetings with their keyworker and the work they did together to complete the action plan/goals. Staff help people to manage their personal finances and records are carefully maintained. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected.

People who use services are able to make choices about their lifestyle, and are supported to develop their life skills. People living at Orchard Mews enjoy a relaxed and fulfilling lifestyle with appropriate work and leisure activities. EVIDENCE: The manager explained that the service has a strong commitment to enabling people who live at Orchard Mews to develop their skills including social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. Part of the responsibility of the key worker is to encourage each person to develop their own preferred lifestyle and activities within the local community. The town centre of Gillingham is approximately half a mile away where there are many facilities including shops, pubs, restaurants, library, sports centre and DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 swimming pool. Discussions with service users demonstrated the range of different occupations and activities each enjoys. People work different hours at the Garden Centre and in the remainder of their time do a range of other things, one person works in a local charity shop, another goes to Adult Education class, several people are keen on riding and swimming and benefit from regular sessions. All the service user records linked with the accounts from the individuals of the various things they enjoyed doing. The records show that individuals are supported to identify their goals and work to achieve them. Feedback from the two people living at Orchard Mews indicated that they are given the opportunity to develop and maintain important and personal and family relationships. Visits from family and friends are always welcome but are at the discretion of the service user, there are no formal times. Discussion with the manager showed that individual rights and choices are promoted, and both the verbal and written reports confirmed that people are supported to make informed choices about things such as lifestyle choices, relationships, activities and holidays. Everyone at Orchard Mews has decided to change the cooking rota and people will now take the responsibility for the whole week, as they feel this is more realistic than just taking turns to cook one evening meal per week. This makes everyone think about the others and how to plan and prepare the meal especially if they are going out for the evening. The menus are agreed altogether and reflect an interesting and healthy diet. Ample choices are available and people are appropriately supported in the preparation and cooking of the meals. The menus and records of food consumed were available and up to date, and all food hygiene checks are based on the Food Standards requirements. Temperatures of kitchen appliances and routine cleaning tasks were recorded. Staff have completed the Basic Food Hygiene Certificate and there is an annual “in house refresher course”. People living at Orchard Mews are involved in the “ household shopping”. Neither had any preferences and both said they enjoyed all their meals. The two people met during this visit have both chosen to work at the nearby Scope Garden Centre and both make valuable contributions and are capable of undertaking a range of work and business related tasks. Staff advised that the person not available during this visit works in a local Pet Shop. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The health and personal care people receive is based on their individual needs. EVIDENCE: The records show that the manager and staff ensure that people receive effective and individualised personal healthcare support using a person centred approach. The Statement of Purpose sets out the competencies and specialisms the home offers and delivers effectively through a skilled, trained and knowledgeable staff group that work in a person centred way. The manager explained that care plans are developed and written with the involvement of the person and discussions with individual people verified this and further evidence was obtained from randomly checking a selection of records which demonstrated that the care plans were individualised, person centred, and provided clear guidance on how the care is delivered. Observations of the day also showed that the care is person led and that staff were seen to respect service users preferences. The rota showed that the staff group is balanced to reflect the diverse needs of the people living at the home. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The Service User Guide provides information about other professionals who support Mulberry Court, General Practitioners, and Community Nurses in addition to the choice within the local town of other health professionals such as opticians, dentists and chiropodists. Part of the keyworker role is to monitor the healthcare needs of service users and where possible enable and or accompany service users where the need is identified to their respective appointments to ensure a consistent service is provided. People manage their medication based on their assessed abilities and preferences. Some people require total support to ensure the medication is administered safely and as directed, others require minimal supervision and some are totally independent. The varying levels of support were recorded and monitored. All the MAR charts were signed and up to date and homely remedies had been agreed by the GP. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People using the service are able to express their concerns and the services have a robust, effective complaints procedure and people are protected from abuse and have their rights protected. Service users know how to complain and are confident any concerns would be responded to in a positive manner. EVIDENCE: The records show that the manager has developed a clear complaints procedure provided in a format that the people living in the home could understand. The document starts with “ Complaining isn’t wrong – it’s a right” It highlights the importance of complaining and/or making suggestions for improvement that benefit people living and working at Orchard Mews and overall within the Scope services. The document continues to add “Complaints are really positive – they give us an opportunity to improve things, both for ourselves and for other people” The document received a Crystal Mark for its clarity by the Plain English Campaign. Both the service users living at Orchard Mews assured the inspector how happy they were and that they had no concerns and complaints. From these discussions it was clear that people do understand how to make complaints and are not inhibited in doing so if the need should arise. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The records show that quality monitoring systems are in place to make sure staff are fully aware of the policies and procedures provided in relation to protecting and safeguarding the rights of the people living at the home. Observations made on the day indicated that the views and experiences of people living at the home are valued. Scope has a full Adult Protection Policy and Procedure on which staff receive training. Service users are also encouraged to attend training and be aware of the procedures. All service users have either a bank or building society account, which they can access, cash from. Most people have two accounts one for service fees and benefits and the other for their personal allowances and income. Staff provide discreet support or where required will support the person to ensure safe handling of their individual money. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

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. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The people living at Orchard Mews benefit from a comfortable family style home which is well maintained. EVIDENCE: The provider and manager have ensured that the environment of the home provides for the individual requirements of the people who use the service. Discussions with the people living at the home showed that they are happy with “their home” and the living environment is appropriate for their particular lifestyle and needs. Further conversations with service users confirmed that they are encouraged to see the home as their own. It is well maintained, attractive and has very good access to community facilities and services. The inspector was shown one bedroom, which had been personally decorated and reflected the individual’s interests. The communal areas are spacious and provide sufficient room for everyone. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff in the home are trained, skilled and there are enough of them to support the people who use the service. At Orchard Mews people enjoy a “family lifestyle” with appropriate support. EVIDENCE: The records show that the service has a highly developed recruitment procedure that has the needs of the people who use the service at its core. The manager explained that the recruitment of good quality carers is seen as integral to the delivery of an excellent service, and continued to say that the recruitment of the right person for the job is always seen as more important than the filling of the vacancy. The rotas show that the service has enough staff available at all times to support the needs, activities and aspirations of the people using the service in an individualised and person centred way. The records show that the service is proactive rather than reactive in its staffing, recruitment and training, with planning for the needs of the service users taking place day-to-day. Discussions with several staff demonstrated a thorough understanding of the particular needs of the people who use the DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 services, and can deliver highly effective person centred care. There is a staff team with varying skills, knowledge and experience to meet the needs of people who use the services.

The management and administration of the home is based on openness and respect. The service has an effective quality assurance system developed by qualified competent manager(s) Orchard Mews is well run and the views of the people living there underpin how the home operates. EVIDENCE: The registered manager, who has been temporarily covering the duties and responsibilities of this role for the past 11 months will shortly be standing down once the Service Manager has completed their application to be approved as the Registered Manager for the Scope services in Gillingham. DS0000026740.V339841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 The Registered Manager is currently completing the Registered Manager’s Award and will continue to complete this qualification. The Service manager has already attained this qualification. Both are experienced and highly competent to run the home and meet the stated aims and objectives.

Discussions with people living at the home indicated that the home is open and transparent. The views of both residents and staff are listened to, and valued. The site visit confirmed that the service continues to function as a well run “family style “ home.
