What the care home does well

Relevant information, in an appropriate format, is provided about the home and the organisation, for service users, and their family or representative. 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. The activities programme enables service users to maintain various interests, and to make choices about their daily lives. A vehicle is provided to enable each service user to be involved in the local community, and to enjoy trips and holidays further away.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The recommendations made at the last inspection have been met. There is an obvious commitment from everyone involved with supporting service users at 180 Wylds Lane, to the ongoing development and maintenance of the service. Staff working at the home have demonstrated their individual and combined abilities to deal with several difficult situations with which they have been confronted recently. These have included the unexpected death of a service user, a road traffic accident that involved service users, and an emergency admission to the home. The efficient and professional manner in which these incidents were dealt with is commendable. In addition, coping strategies have been introduced in regard to the management of a service user whose behaviour challenges the service. New equipment has been provided, and this includes a walking frame that incorporates a seat.

What the care home could do better:

The need for the acting manager to apply for registration is now urgent, and should be undertaken without further delay.

The home is owned and run by the New Era Housing Association Ltd., and is part of the new dimensions group, which as the parent Company provides strategic direction and a range of functional support services. The stated purpose of the organisation is, ‘to work with people with learning difficulties, supporting them to make choices, and to exercise control over their lives’, and the main aim of the home is,’ to deliver a person centred response to the needs and aspirations of the people we support.’ Wylds Lane, 180 DS0000018705.V249014.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 180, 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. The Regional manager was also present for part of the inspection. The acting manager was unwell and therefore not available on the day of the inspection, but the staff on duty coped very competently with the visit. 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 discussion held with the staff about the content, as service users were unable to easily 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: Relevant information, in an appropriate format, is provided about the home and the organisation, for service users, and their family or representative. 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. The activities programme enables service users to maintain various interests, and to make choices about their daily lives. A vehicle is provided to enable each service user to be involved in the local community, and to enjoy trips and holidays further away.

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 the following 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 records maintained in relation to the assessment and admission of service users, and the well-organised approach by staff at the home, has ensured that the needs of residents are identified and can be met. Wylds Lane, 180 DS0000018705.V249014.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 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. The usual admission procedure includes extensive assessment by staff from the home, and a Community Care Assessment 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 recent admission to the home had not followed this process, owing to the urgency of the situation, but the documentation completed by staff at the home was very detailed and informative. Ongoing assessment is also being undertaken to ensure that the longer-term arrangements for the service user are appropriate. 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 are competent in the delivery of appropriate care, and are able to meet the differing needs of service users, who may also have limited verbal communication skills. Wylds Lane, 180 DS0000018705.V249014.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7,8,9 & 10 The plan of care for each service user 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 and their involvement is actively encouraged. Risk management strategies enable a responsible approach to the risks associated with the various activities of daily living. Service users or their representative are aware of the information held by the home about them, and that this will be maintained in confidence. Wylds Lane, 180 DS0000018705.V249014.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 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 that 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 separate 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 180, Wylds 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, 180 DS0000018705.V249014.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

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 and, 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 flexible and reflects their preferences. Residents may attend college, a local day centre, do cookery or pottery or arts and crafts, visit the Snoezlan, or the hydrotherapy pool. They also do disco, ten pin bowling, horse riding, go into town for lunch, or do some shopping. Various ‘chores’ are undertaken at home with the support of staff. A holiday is arranged with each service user, who is supported by two carers, and so far this year has included the New Forest, Wales and Butlins. 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.
