There is allocated parking to the front of the building with ample on road parking also available. There are four bedrooms that are large, all have an en suite, and there is ample space for armchairs and desks if required. There is a paved area surrounding the building for wheelchair access to all external areas. Internal corridors are wide and the building offers a homely, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The fees for support provided by the home are agreed during the assessment period. Fees are set to the needs of the individual service user, depending on the level of support required and the staffing numbers provided. This range could vary greatly and, for example, could range between £7,000 - £9,000 per four weekly period. 163 Newington Road DS0000065732.V296138.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection and the process consisted of speaking with the management team, staff members, a review of records and speaking directly with three service users. Service users, staff and families also received questionnaires and these responses provide valuable feedback that informs and supports the findings in this report. This is the first inspection as the home has been fully operational for only a short time. The bungalow has a large kitchen/diner, two lounge areas, a small office and four service user rooms. Two service users were found to be in the back garden, enjoying a game of wheelchair football. Both were happy and appeared relaxed and comfortable to welcome the inspector and explain which football team they supported. Staff were laughing and ensuring the full participation of both service users at this time. What the service does well: Service users develop their own Person Centred Plans (PCPs), using visual displays that are developed with the assistance of staff. The PCPs clearly present the goals that are decided by the service user and the steps and timing of each move and section to achieve this goal. The presentation of these goals is given by the service user who also decides who will be present at the meeting to review the care plan. Pictures also explain who is important to the individual service user and who is in contact with service users in a lesser way. Families/important friends are in regular contact with the home, discussing events and participating in special events in the home and with individual service users. This ensures close contact and much needed support for service users, while ensuring that any matters of concern or needing clarification are immediately dealt with. All activities are decided through consultation with the individual and clearly set out in both person centred plan and supported by appropriate staffing levels. Service users enjoy their chosen activities and college is attended along with activities in the community that include swimming, watching horse racing, crazy golf and visits to the local pub and eating out. Relevant equipment is in place to support service users to be independent, including – access lights prior to entry into personal rooms, fire alerts and indicators that the door bell is ringing. Adjustments are to be made to the doorbell alert as these currently flash very quickly and constantly, causing a risk to anyone suffering from epilepsy. 163 Newington Road DS0000065732.V296138.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

The PCPs clearly present the goals that are decided by the service user and the steps and timing of each move and section to achieve this goal. The presentation of these goals is given by the service user who also decides who will be present at the meeting. Pictures also explain who is important to the individual service user and who is in contact with service users in a lesser way. This explains the life and needs of the service user and also acts as a reminder of who is important and where support comes from. This gives service users complete autonomy with regard to their PCP and also presents a pictorial reminder of how goals are to be achieved and who will be involved. Regular reviews are undertaken with service users and all other appropriate agencies, agreed by the individual. Each service user chooses pictures to explain their dreams for the future, to describe the important people in their lives and who is in their ‘Circle of Friends’. Pictures explain and show details from birth, from childhood, covering important events and people who make up social and family members. Both large and small goals are developed with service users, who decide exactly what is important in their lives. Risk assessments are undertaken to ensure the safety of both service users and staff prior to any activities being undertaken. 163 Newington Road DS0000065732.V296138.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 10, 12, 13 & 15 (Older People) are: 11.
