This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was the first Key Inspection using the Inspection for Better Lives process for the year 2006/2007. This key inspection ensured that all the core standards of the National Minimum Standards for Younger Adults were considered. This inspection was unannounced therefore staff and residents were not informed in advance of the inspection being carried out. The inspection process included a tour of the premises, sampling of residents’ care plans, risk assessments, staff training records and staff recruitment files; other documents sampled included policies and procedures, staff duty rota, menu, medication and records of medicines. Discussions took place with the manager, staff, and residents who were at the home at the time of the inspection. During discussions residents stated they were happy living in the home, that the food was good and they liked the activities offered. Residents’ bedrooms had their personal belongings such as televisions and pictures. Residents had been provided with a key for their bedroom doors, and were observed using these when entering their bedrooms. Residents stated that they like the staff, and that they help them to make choices regarding their daily lives. Discussions took place with staff on duty at the time of the inspection. Staff were knowledgeable about residents’ care plans, their likes and dislikes, and how to support residents. Feedback was provided at the end of the inspection to the manager. The inspector would like to thank the staff and residents for their cooperation during the inspection. What the service does well:
The home continues to do well in all as identified during the previous inspection. The relationship between residents and staff continue to be relaxed and friendly. Evidence viewed indicated that residents were encouraged and supported to be as independent as they were able. Care plans and conversations with residents and staff confirmed that they each had a programme of activity, which included attending college, day care, leisure activities, and shopping, and home time for life skills development. Care plans were found to provide a good level of information about each individual, based upon a sound assessment of their needs and aspirations, with person centred care planning. Evidence gathered from discussions with staff on
Lumley Road (16) DS0000013453.V303744.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 duty, and confirmed in care plans, continue to indicate that the advice and support of relevant professionals is actively sought and acted upon.
