The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The organisational skills of the management are excellent, as evidenced in the comprehensive documentation maintained at the home. Good lines of communication ensure that everyone has the relevant information to enable appropriate decisions to be made. The initial impression gained is that the home is well maintained and cared for, and that it is comfortable and secure. The needs of service users are anticipated, and responded to appropriately. The staff team is flexible, with differing skills, which complement each other. The individuality of each service user is recognised and the commitment of staff to their role in supporting and enabling service users, and to person centred work with service users, is commendable. Health Action Plans have been developed for each service user, which are detailed and informative, and ensure a full understanding of their healthcare needs

What has improved since the last inspection?

Ongoing progress and development is being made, and the introduction of a quality monitoring system known as PATH has focused the approach of staff, to the process of planning, action and review of the service provision. Several new items of equipment have been provided including, rails in the corridors to assist mobility, a new CD player, and also an adapted car, which was chosen by service users.

What the care home could do better:

`We need to blow our own trumpet more`, was a view expressed by staff at the home, who are very positive about the organisation, and what it has achieved, but consider greater is necessary to attract the relevant calibre of staff. The need for additional male support workers was identified. Review the management structure and consider the re-introduction of a deputy or senior to take responsibility in the absence of the manager, and to provide ongoing support to the management of the home. The garden would benefit from further attention, and the development of a sensory area, could also be considered.

Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The purpose of this routine unannounced inspection was to follow up previous requirements and recommendations, and to monitor the care provision at 178, Wylds Lane Worcester, in relation to the stated aims and objectives of the home. The inspection took approximately 3 hours, when some time was spent with service users, and also talking with staff. Very positive comments were made about what it is like to work at the home. A tour of the building was also undertaken. The care records of service users were inspected, and detailed discussions held with the manager and staff about the content, as service users were unable to communicate their opinions verbally. The records kept in respect of the maintenance of equipment, and safe working practices were also seen. What the service does well: The organisational skills of the management are excellent, as evidenced in the comprehensive documentation maintained at the home. Good lines of communication ensure that everyone has the relevant information to enable appropriate decisions to be made. The initial impression gained is that the home is well maintained and cared for, and that it is comfortable and secure. The needs of service users are anticipated, and responded to appropriately. The staff team is flexible, with differing skills, which complement each other. The individuality of each service user is recognised and the commitment of staff to their role in supporting and enabling service users, and to person centred work with service users, is commendable. Health Action Plans have been developed for each service user, which are detailed and informative, and ensure a full understanding of their healthcare needs Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1,2,3,4 & 5 Appropriate documentation is in place to enable prospective service users to make an informed decision about their future care needs. The admissions procedure is followed in detail, and all proposed admissions to the home are planned very thoroughly, over several weeks, to ensure an appropriate decision is made, both by the home and the service user. EVIDENCE: A Statement of Purpose has been produced, which together with the Service Users Guide, provides detailed information for residents and their families, on which to base decisions about their future care needs. The documentation is produced in an appropriate format if needed, and the Service Users Guide contains numerous photographs. Service users hold copies of these documents, with the exception of one person, who had requested that theirs were kept in the office. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 9 The admission procedure includes extensive assessment by staff from the home, and a Community Care Assessment is undertaken by a social worker. A gradual introduction is made to the home following the initial referral, and a place is only offered if it seems likely that a suitable service can be provided for the prospective service user. Admission is agreed on a trial basis initially. A statement of terms and conditions of residence is provided for service users. The details of these documents are discussed with each individual, and their family, or representative, and a contract is provided for each service user by the placing authority. The positive interactions observed during the course of the inspection between staff and service users, confirmed that staff were competent in the delivery of appropriate care, and were able to meet the differing needs of service users, who also have limited verbal communication skills. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 6,7,8,9 & 10 The service users plan of care is based on the initial assessment, which clearly identifies their assessed needs, and how these will be met. Service users living at the home are supported in making choices in all areas of their lives. Risk management strategies enable a responsible approach to the risks associated with the various activities of daily living. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 EVIDENCE: An individual plan of care is produced for each service user, based on the initial assessment undertaken during the admission process. The plans seen are very comprehensive, detailing the specific needs of service users and how these are to be met. A key-worker is assigned to each service user, and has responsibility for ensuring that appropriate care is provided. Monthly meetings are held with the service user, and on-going assessment is also undertaken, any changes are monitored over a period of time, and amendments made when necessary. Risk assessments are completed, in relation to the premises, to the activities undertaken, and any restrictions which may be imposed, and also in respect of every aspect of the life of each service user. Risk assessments are included in the plan of care for each service user, with a copy retained in a risk assessment file. A Person Centred Approach is part of the philosophy of the care provision in homes run by New Era, and in addition it is the policy of the Organisation to consult service users on the development and review of policy. The needs and individual preferences of every service user living at 178, Wyldes Lane are identified as far as possible, and their participation in the daily life of the home, is constantly encouraged. A Confidentiality Code has been produced by the Organisation, which is clearly understood by staff, and reassures service users that information about them is handled appropriately. Training is also given to all staff. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11,12,13,14,15,16 & 17 The opportunities made available to service users enable them to live as fulfilling a life as possible. Service users are involved in the daily arrangements at the home, as appropriate, and are the focus of the delivery of the high standard of person centred care that is provided. Each individual is involved in planning their activities, both within and outside the home, and everything very obviously revolves around them. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 13 EVIDENCE: Service users living at the home are encouraged to follow an ‘ordinary’ life style as far as possible, by using the same facilities as other members of the community, and being involved in a range of leisure activities, of which a detailed record is maintained. Arrangements for holidays are made, as appropriate, and service users wishes not to go away on holiday, if this is their choice, would also be considered. Links with family and friends are promoted, with a high degree of support provided by staff, to both the family, and to the service user. Limited communication skills preclude involvement in paid employment or educational opportunities, but social activities are available, and these may be undertaken in-house or in the community. The individual programme for each service user is varied and flexible and reflects their preferences. One resident attends a local day centre, and does some creative pottery, another is involved with some cookery sessions, while another is very involved with a local church. The arrangements regarding the provision of food reflect the individual preferences of service users. A weekly shopping trip is undertaken to purchase general food stocks for the home, from which service users can choose, or they are enabled to purchase their own items. There may be four different meals, all provided at different times, depending on the various activities of the day. A ‘carry out’ was said to be a very popular option.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18,19,20 & 21 Support is provided to each service user, and encouragement given to promote independence as far as possible, in meeting the personal care needs of each individual. Advice and guidance is available from the primary healthcare teams, and associated specialists, to ensure that the health needs of service users are fully understood, and that appropriate responses are made. Procedures are in place for managing the ageing process and possible illness and death of service users, to ensure that their dignity is maintained and their wishes respected. Arrangements for the safe administration of medication are in place at the home. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 15 EVIDENCE: The personal and healthcare needs of service users are well documented, and there is evidence to show how staff understand and respond to them in an appropriate way.

The awareness of the management, together with the training provided for staff, ensures the protection of service users from all forms of abuse. EVIDENCE: A clear procedure for the investigation of complaints has been produced and any issues are dealt with immediately. The document has been produced in a format that is understandable to service users. Discussions have been held with service users and their families regarding the process, and all complaints are recorded. Since the last inspection, the records at the home indicate that 1 complaint has been made, which was dealt with appropriately. Several compliments have also been received. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 17 Staff are able to demonstrate a clear understanding of the issues relating to abuse, and also to their individual role as an advocate for service users. An appropriate procedure is in place relating to the many aspects of abuse and the protection of vulnerable adults. Training for all staff on the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) has been provided. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24,25,27,28 & 30 The premises are very suitable for their purpose. They are comfortable and clean, and ensure as far as possible that the safety and wellbeing of service users is promoted. The standard of the accommodation is excellent. The décor and furnishings are in good condition, and provide service users with an attractive and homely place to live. The location of the house is convenient to local services and facilities, and the layout provides adequate communal space for the needs of service users. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 19 EVIDENCE: The premises at 178, Wylds Lane is a large detached, purpose built bungalow, which is maintained to a satisfactory standard, and is suitable for its purpose. The communal areas of the home are spacious and airy, nicely decorated and comfortably furnished. Sensory equipment is provided for the benefit of service users. There are two communal rooms, providing choice for service users. These consisted of a spacious lounge, with a door to enable access to the patio, a lounge/diner and a kitchen/diner. The gardens would benefit from further attention. There are four single occupancy bedrooms for service users, which all comply with space and furnishing requirements. Bedroom doors are fitted with locks that meet the agreed specification, i.e. they unlock with a single action. The rooms are furnished to reflect the personality of their occupants, and some have sensory equipment, specific to the needs of the individual service user. Adequate toilet and bathing facilities are available. There are two toilets, a large bathroom and a separate walk-in shower room. Appropriate aids and adaptations are provided for the use of service users. The home is clean and free from offensive odours. Procedures are in place in regard to the control of infection, and staff are trained in health and safety matters. The home has not received a recent visit from the Fire Safety Officer, and there are no outstanding requirements from the previous inspection. The Fire Log Book was seen, and the appropriate checks have been undertaken with the required frequency. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 31,33,34,35 & 36 The management support and supervision given to staff, enables a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities, and ensures the promotion of the aims and objectives of the home. The home has an experienced and competent team of staff, who are able to ensure that the needs of service users living at the home can be effectively met. The extensive training programme available to staff ensures that they are competent in their work, although the need for specific mental health training has been identified. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 21 EVIDENCE: New Era provides relevant information for staff on joining the organisation, and also keeps them updated on new developments and any changes that take place. Each member of staff is given a Welcome Pack that contains details about the organisation, and its aims and objectives, an Employee Handbook that provides information about terms and conditions of employment and policies and procedures, and an Induction Checklist covering the first three months of employment. A training programme is in place at the home that includes Induction and Foundation training, the Learning Disability Award Framework (LDAF) accredited training, and the NVQ training. The training needs of staff are regularly reviewed, and care related courses are attended. A training record is maintained in respect of each member of staff. The need for specific training relating to the provision of care for people with mental health needs, had previously been identified, but this had not yet been organised. A package was currently being produced, and is to be implemented in the near future. The importance of this training, which should be made available to all staff, was discussed with the care manager. The rotas indicate that staffing is being maintained at a satisfactory level, and this enables many planned activities to be undertaken with service users. There have been several staff changes in recent months, and this has necessitated the use of agency staff, although they are usually known to the home and to the service users, which provides some continuity of care. A thorough recruitment and selection procedure has been produced by the organisation, and includes a commitment to equal opportunities. Criminal Record Bureau checks are completed prior to an appointment being confirmed, and verbal and written references are also obtained. Service users are consulted about ‘who would be their ideal carer’, and they are also involved in the interview process. Supervision sessions are organised on a regular basis, approximately every 6 weeks, and an annual appraisal is undertaken with each member of staff. Staff meetings are held approximately every month. All staff are provided with the General Social Care Council’s Code of Conduct Practice. Comments from staff were all very positive about their experiences of working at the home, and also of being employed by New Era, which will inevitably be of benefit to service users. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 37,38,39,42 & 43 The care arrangements at 178, Wylds Lane have been satisfactory, and staff and service users benefit from the positive leadership, and the person centred approach to the care they receive. Additional support for the manager, in the form of a deputy, would enable more effective overall management of the establishment. The health, safety and welfare of service users is promoted and protected in respect of all safe working practices. Wylds Lane, 178 E52 S18704 Wylds Lane (178) V244564 270705.doc Version 1.40 Page 23 EVIDENCE: The care manager, Mrs Susan Lawley, is transferring to another home within the group next week, and the management responsibility for the home will be undertaken, on a temporary basis, by Mrs Breda Goulding, who has been working at the home previously. The need for additional support for the acting manager was identified, to enable her to undertake her management role more effectively. There is clear evidence of effective person centred care being delivered, and the home is being managed in an open and transparent manner, which is fully inclusive of service users. The positive interactions observed between staff and service users were pleasing to observe. An annual development plan has been produced which involves the whole home. The team has identified where they are at, where they would want to be in 12months time, who they will need to help them to get there, the building bricks and the strengths needed, the first steps and who will do what, reviews of achievements will take place every 3 months, and the outcomes will be measured. A comprehensive health and safety policy has been produced and staff are trained in safe working practices. Appropriate risk assessments are undertaken. Notifications are made to the Commission under Regulation 37, when necessary. A Business Plan is produced by the Organisation, which considers proposals for the next 5 years, and covers all aspects of the work of the New Dimensions Group. A copy of the Plan has been produced specifically for service users. Appropriate insurance cover is in place in respect of the business and the property.
