What the care home does well

The service users` care plans are actively used, with individuals` needs being reviewed on a regular basis. The staff team are established, well trained and committed to providing a good quality service to the individuals that they support. This helps give the service users stability, confidence and continuity in the care that they receive. The communication document that has been developed by the staff team is excellent. (See Personal and Healthcare section). The staff commented they would appreciate some further training, with regard to communicating with people who have no verbal communication skills. This demonstrates that they want to provide the best possible service that they can. There is an obvious rapport and good interaction between the staff and the service users.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The reviewing of the care plans is in the process of being restructured, this will hopefully provide clearer guidance of how peoples long term goals, aspirations and plans will take place. The staff team continues to develop in their skills and expertise, especially in the way they communicate and interact with the service users. This is clearly demonstrated in the way that the service users have grown in maturity, confidence, trust and wellbeing.

What the care home could do better:

There is a need to ensure that all health and safety inspection certificates are available for inspection purposes. (No gas certificate) Ensure that regulation 26 monthly inspection reports are carried out and sent to the commission for social care inspection (CSCI). This will help to demonstrate that the organisation is proactive in `internal quality monitoring`.

The assimilation of information was used to assess the key standards that are identified in the National Minimum Standards for Adults 18-65, including: the pre inspection questionnaire (completed by the registered manager), staff rota’s, meal menus and an unannounced inspection visit to the home. The two service users living at Osborne Road have complex needs, including specific sensory and communication needs. The service users’ files were examined and they contained up to date, relevant and appropriate information. Three staff files were also examined and their files contained all of the required information to meet the national minimum standards. The homes manager was available throughout the day and there was also the opportunity to have conversations with other 2 staff members and the registered manager who was present for most of the day. The providers’ policies, procedures and all other documentation including health and safety files and certificates were examined and they were all present and up to date, except for the Gas inspection certificate. (See standard 42) What the service does well: The service users’ care plans are actively used, with individuals’ needs being reviewed on a regular basis. The staff team are established, well trained and committed to providing a good quality service to the individuals that they support. This helps give the service users stability, confidence and continuity in the care that they receive. The communication document that has been developed by the staff team is excellent. (See Personal and Healthcare section). The staff commented they would appreciate some further training, with regard to communicating with people who have no verbal communication skills.

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. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is a thorough pre admission process in place, helping to ensure that individuals are properly and adequately assessed, in order to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: An up to date ‘statement of purpose’ and a ‘service users guide’ were available for inspection and these documents gave concise clear information about the organisation and how the care will be provided. Although there have been no recent admissions to the home, there are good systems in place, to help ensure that relevant and appropriate information is gathered, in order to complete an assessment of a persons needs. In discussion with the house manager, it was clear that a thorough preadmission procedure would be carried out for a prospective service user. This would include, “ensuring that people are correctly matched up, make sure they are compatible, observe how people are with each other” and “make sure 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 that assessments are properly carried out and arrange a number of visits to the home, including the person staying overnight”. It was also evident that the present service users would be consulted and empowered to give their opinions and enabled to make choices and decisions. This would include determining and judging their own feelings and involving service users’ representatives or advocates. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.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.

People are empowered in various appropriate ways to make and take decisions in their daily lives. Relevant corporate and individual risk assessments are in place, in order to promote independence and wellbeing. EVIDENCE: The service users’ files contained concise, detailed and informative care plans, which are internally reviewed on a monthly basis. A more in depth review is 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 carried out every six months and a full and a comprehensive annual review is completed with the involvement of the service users’ social worker and members of the service users’ family, who are always invited to reviews. One staff member said, “care plans are used every day, they are working documents”. There was a key worker (service users have a named worker) system in place; helping to promote trust and confidence between the service user and the staff member, thereby, helping to ensure a service users’ changing needs are identified and acted upon as quickly as possible. Other information included in service users’ files was, ‘Listen to me workbook’, including: what’s important in my life, family contact, daily routines, what happens at weekends, hopes and dreams, food I like, people important in my life, what happens at night and my ‘communication profile’, which gave specific and extremely detailed guidance on how to identify what a person may be trying to communicate or is possibly feeling. This document had been devised and drawn up by the existing staff team. There were individual risk assessments in service users’ files, with specific information and guidance, in order to promote and encourage independence. In observation throughout the visit, it was apparent that the team work well together in a calm relaxing manner and it was also apparent that the service users are empowered to be as independent as possible. Service users’ appeared to be confident and trusting of the support and care that was being given to them. Members of staff were observed communicating with service users in a respectful, relaxed, and dignified way and the service users were responding in a positive way, helping to demonstrate that service users and their families have the assurance and confidence that they are treated with respect and dignity. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

Both of the service users are involved in different and varied activities, in the community and in the home including, art and crafts, swimming, attending college, drama classes, visiting the local library, shopping and going for walks. It was evident that community participation and community presence is positively and actively promoted. During the inspection visit it was observed that both of the service users were coming and going throughout the day accessing different activities. It was also apparent that these were regular and normal pursuits, with people obviously enjoying the trips out and the activities. In the home there was also evidence of recreational and leisure activities being available, with each person being involved in the running of the home, having their own ‘tasks/daily routines’ to perform, for example, polishing, vacuum cleaning and helping to prepare meals. Service users are given full support in all activities, with daily communication records being maintained and a ‘ programme of monthly goals’ is reviewed at every individual review. It was clear that staff support individuals in the varied activities they have, to gain as much experience as possible. Thereby enabling people to maximise their independence, whilst also initiating self worth and wellbeing. It was stated that both service users have regular weekly visits from different family members and individuals are regularly supported to visit their relatives in their homes. Food menus were examined and were seen to be nutritious, varied and appetising. During the mid-day meal one service user was observed being supported in a calm, unrushed and relaxed manner. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

The service users’ care plans were examined and were found to be up to date, containing relevant information with clear guidance on how to provide individual personal care and how to meet a person’s health care needs. As already mentioned these care plans are reviewed frequently, helping to ensure that all care needs are monitored, in order to guarantee that peoples’ needs are being provided in an appropriate, dignified and respectful way. Each person had a ‘medical profile’, including weight checks, GP appointments, hospital appointments, dentist and chiropody appointments. One person’s file contained a report from a speech and language therapist. The home is in the process of purchasing a four-wheeler bicycle for one person, who is sometimes reluctant to walk outside in the community. This will give help give the person necessary exercise and helps to demonstrate that the organisation is actively promoting peoples health. The storage, administering and recording of medicines was examined and found to be secure, thorough and well organised and kept in an unobtrusive cabinet. Medication records were double signed, with all staff being adequately trained in medication procedures. Detailed information was also available regarding the medication being administered, for example any possible side effects. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23.

Staff are adequately trained in the protection of vulnerable adults, thereby helping to ensure that service users are protected EVIDENCE: There was a thorough and adequate complaints policy and procedures in place for dealing with a complaint, which contained appropriate phone numbers and specific details of who to contact. Complaint cards were also available, which were in a picture format, helping people to have a clearer understanding. There were no records of any complaints being received, since the last inspection. There was a thorough policy in place to deal with a suspicion or allegation of abuse. In discussion with one member of staff there was a full awareness of the procedures to follow, if there was any suspicion or alleged abuse and would be totally confident in the process to follow. All staff receive protection of vulnerable adults training and are familiar with the ‘whistle blowing’ policy and the ‘No secrets’ document, which is detailed 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 government guidance and advice on how to identify and what to do in the event of the suspicion or alleged abuse of an individual. It was apparent that United Response is committed to providing good regular training, in order to ensure as much as possible that people in their care are protected and safeguarded from harm and abuse. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.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 throughout was found to be well decorated, with service users’ bedrooms containing their own personal possessions, demonstrating their own personality and identity. The home is very spacious, which enables the service users to have their ‘own space’, with each of the service users having their own ‘chill-out’ areas. In observation throughout the inspection visit, it was apparent that the service users benefited from having the availability of this individual space. The outside of the home was easily accessible to service users and the gardens were very neat, tidy and were maintained to a good standard. Overall the environment of the home was observed to be safe, comfortable, hygienic and very well maintained.

EVIDENCE: A team manager has responsibility for managing the staff team on a daily basis, under the supervision of the registered manager. The registered manager is responsible for managing four United Response care homes in the St Annes area. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 The team manager has many years experience of working with people who have a learning disability. She is well qualified and in 2006 was successful in obtaining ‘The Registered Managers Award’ (RMA). There appears to be a really good working relationship between the team manager and the rest of the staff team. The organisation has maintained ‘The investors in people award’ for a number of years, which is a quality assurance-monitoring organisation. United Response have their own quality monitoring system and periodically questionnaires are sent to relatives, enquiring of their opinions regarding the standard of care being delivered to their relatives. Health and safety files were examined and almost everything was in order and up to date, including: water inspection checks, portable electric appliance testing, fire extinguishers, emergency lights and fire alarms. However, no gas inspection certificate was available for examination. The registered manager and the team manager were informed that a gas inspection certificate needs to be available for examination, in order to confirm that the gas installation system has been inspected by a qualified ‘Corgi’ registered engineer. It is essential that all health and safety checks be carried out, to help ensure that service users and staff are protected and safeguarded with regards to health and safety matters. An assurance was given by the registered manager that a gas inspection certificate would be obtained as soon as possible. 15 Osborne Road DS0000010025.V323041.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.
