What the care home does well

On the day of the inspection the home looked clean, homely and festive, as it had been decorated for the Christmas season. The three residents who were at home appeared to be relaxed and good interaction was seen between staff and the residents. A full needs assessment is undertaken for all prospective residents to ensure the home can meet their needs and prospective residents and their relatives are able to visit the home before making a decision about taking a place there. Resident`s individual care plans provide clear information for staff to follow to meet the assessed care needs. Residents are encouraged and supported to make their own decisions and to take responsible risks, allowing them to participate in an independent a lifestyle as possible. Residents are able to attend education sessions at a local resource centre, have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of leisure activities and can receive visitors as they wish. Personal support is offered in a way preferred by the residents and their physical and emotional needs are met. Resident`s health is protected by the home`s clear procedures for dealing with medicines. The home`s complaints policy indicates that all complaints would be taken seriously and residents are protected by staff awareness of abuse issues.Residents benefit from the employment of staff who receive supervision and have clarity of their roles and responsibilities. The residents are protected by the home`s robust recruitment procedures. Residents are provided with opportunities to give their views on all aspects of life at the home and their health, safety and welfare is protected by the safe working practices operated there.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection the home`s Service User Guide has been updated to include the qualifications of the staff employed at the home. At the time of the last inspection some staff members had not attended fire drills. Records seen on this occasion indicated that all staff member had attended fire drills. The home has recruited staff and there is now very little employment of agency staff. One staff member commented ` we are now building a team`.

What the care home could do better:

Residents written contracts require updating to document the organisation`s new systems of charging for the use of the home`s transport, holiday expenses and reimbursement of part of the cost for meals taken away from the home, at pubs and restaurants. Although staff training has improved particularly with regard to autism awareness there is still a need for staff to receive training in communication methods.

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, 3, 4 and 5 No one is admitted to the home without a full care needs assessment ensuring that the home can meet their needs and prospective residents and their relatives are able to visit the home before making a decision about living there. However the written contracts provided for residents require updating to give current information on some financial aspects. EVIDENCE: At the time of the last inspection the home’s Service User Guide required additional information including the qualifications of staff. The Service User Guide has been updated and now contains details of staff qualifications. The acting manager said that arrangements were in place for the document to be provided in a more suitable format for residents. At present it is offered in symbol format. A full care needs assessment is undertaken for all prospective residents, to ensure the home can meet their needs, before a place is offered at the home. The assessment covers all aspects of care needs including personal, social and emotional needs. The medical history and current medication are documented and also the prospective resident’s leisure and social interests. Information from the resident’s GP and other health professionals plus care managers and current care workers is included in the inspection report. The acting manager said that an application had been received for the vacancy at the home but the assessment indicated that it was not the right placement for the person or for the permanent residents of the home and the application was not accepted. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 When the assessment has been completed, the prospective resident has the opportunity to visit the home on a number of occasions before they move in. The acting manager said that the person usually starts with short visits to meet the permanent residents and staff and to join them for meals. This is followed by full day visits and overnight stays. The number and length of visits is dependant on the needs of the person and for some it may be assessed as in their best interests to visit only once. The person’s current carers visit with them and this provides an opportunity for staff at the home to learn the prospective resident’s routine and how they would like their care to be provided. The acting manager said that relatives were welcome to visit with the prospective resident or on their own. Each resident is provided with a written contract giving the terms and conditions for living at the home. Contracts seen for two residents required updating to include the organisation’s methods for charging for the use of transport, reimbursement for part of the cost of meals taken when out, such as in pubs and restaurants and expenses offered towards holidays. The contract is provided in symbol format. The acting manager said that the contracts were being reviewed and would be provided in a more suitable format for the residents. The contracts will be assessed at the next inspection. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.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 and 10 Residents care plans provide clear information on their assessed needs and the actions required to meet those needs. Staff encourage and support residents to make decisions about their lives and good risk assessments allow them to take responsible risks as part of an independent lifestyle. EVIDENCE: The acting manager said that she was currently auditing the care plans and risk assessments for all the residents. Care plans seen for two residents were detailed and contained clear information for staff to follow, to support the residents. Plans were in place for all aspects of care needs including personal care, nutrition, mobility, communication methods and leisure interests. The resident’s likes and dislikes were documented and the records indicated that the residents were able to change their minds as they wished. During the inspection visit staff were observed encouraging the three residents at home, to make decisions about their lives. Staff were seen to give residents a choice of activities they could participate in and to ask if they would like a drink and if so, what type, coffee, tea or juice. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 The acting manager said that one to one discussions were held with the residents to obtain their views on the quality of care provided and to ensure they were kept up to date with any changes in the home, for example, redecoration of rooms and the recruitment of new staff members. Risk assessments for daily living and leisure activities were included in the care plans. The risk assessments were good and gave details of the assessed risk and the actions required to minimise the risks. Risk assessments are completed for all leisure activities such as horse riding before the activity can begin. A risk assessment was undertaken for one resident with regard to using a trampoline before his wish to purchase a trampoline for the garden was agreed. The home has a system in place where staff are required to read the care plans and risk assessments and to confirm that they understood the documents. The home has a confidentiality policy in place that is given to all staff members when starting work at the home. A staff member spoken to was aware that information regarding the residents was confidential. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 the following standard(s): 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 Residents are treated with respect, have the opportunity to attend educational sessions and are supported to participate in a wide range of leisure activities both at the home and the community. EVIDENCE: The five residents attend educational sessions at the organisation’s resource centre located in a nearby town. Sessions attended vary according to the needs and wishes of the residents. Records seen indicated that residents participated in swimming, rambling, artwork and cookery while at the resource centre. Each resident has an activities programme in place for activities at home and in the community. The activities that the resident has been involved with are recorded and a reason is given for a change in the programmed activity, such as the resident wished to go for a walk instead of artwork. Activities programmes seen were for Monday to Friday and did not include the weekends, although the resident’s daily records indicated that residents were involved in activities on Saturdays and Sundays. The acting manager said that she would arrange for the programmes to cover seven days a week. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 The acting manager said that arrangements were being made for four of the residents to go on holiday in the spring of 2006. One resident who does not wish to stay away from the home will be spending the holiday going on day trips. The acting manager said that visitors were welcome at the home at any time but it was requested that they telephone prior to visiting to ensure the resident will be at home. Visits from relatives and friends were documented in the resident’s care plans. Each resident is provided with a document that outlines their rights while living at the home. These include the right to be treated as an adult, to be treated with respect and to receive care in the way they wish. During the inspection staff were seen to interact with residents in a friendly, respectful manner. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19, 20 and 21 Residents receive personal support in the way they prefer, their physical and emotional needs are met and they are protected by the home’s clear procedures for dealing with medicines. EVIDENCE: The residents preferences for the way they receive personal care was documented in their care plans including the time of day they preferred to take their bath or shower and when they wished to go to bed. The records indicated that timings for daily living activities were flexible with one resident going to bed at any time from 10pm to 11.30pm. Visits by the GP and other health professionals were recorded in the resident’s care plans. On the day of the inspection one resident was visiting the GP with a staff member. The behaviour pattern of the resident had changed and a review was taking place of their medication. The care plans indicated that advice and support was sought as required. The home has clear procedures in place for dealing with medicines. Only staff who have received training in the administration of medicines are allowed to give out the medication. Medication records seen had been completed appropriately and records for medicines kept in the controlled medicines 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 cupboard matched the stock held. There is a recording system in place for all medicines received into the home and the disposal of unwanted medicines. Information on medicines in use at the home is available for staff. The acting manager said that it was difficult to determine the resident’s levels of awareness to ageing and death. The wishes of relatives were documented in the resident’s care plans and care managers were to be informed if a resident was seriously ill if there were no known relatives. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23 The home’s complaints procedures indicate that all complaints would be taken seriously and residents are protected by staff awareness of abuse issues and the procedures to be followed should abuse be suspected. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints procedure in place that indicates who will investigate the complaint and timescales for the process. The acting manager said that no complaints had been received in the last twelve months. Due to communication issues it was not possible to discuss the complaints procedure with the residents. However the good interaction between the staff and the residents indicated that residents were able to make their wishes known to staff. Staff were seen to take their time communicating, allowing the residents the opportunity to make their views known. Staff receive training in abuse awareness during induction. The home has procedures in place to be followed should abuse be suspected. Two staff members spoken to during the inspection knew about the procedures and indicated that they would have no hesitation in reporting any concerns. Small amounts of resident’s money are kept in the home. The monies are kept securely and records are kept of all transactions. Records seen for two residents matched the amount of money held. Residents are reimbursed £1.50 of the cost of a meal taken when away from the home such as when visiting the pub for lunch. A system for transport costs has been implemented that will be charged on a mileage basis. However, the home has not yet been notified of the actual rate per mile that will be charged. The acting manager said that residents do not contribute to gifts for staff. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 The organisation has recently arranged for residents to receive £500 towards the cost of their first holiday of the year. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

Improvements have been made in staff training particularly in autism awareness but staff must continue to be offered training opportunities in communication methods. EVIDENCE: The home employs a registered manager who is currently on leave, an acting manager, a shift leader, a senior support worker and nine support workers. The use of agency staff has reduced to an occasional shift for a driver for the home’s transport. Staff receive a clear job description when starting work at the home and the role of the senior support worker has been discussed during staff meetings. Two staff members commented on the feeling of stability in the work force and one said ‘ we are building into a team’. Recruitment records were seen for two staff members who had recently commenced employment at the home. The records contained all the information required including two written references, confirmation of qualifications, proof of identity and work permits. Police checks from their home countries had been obtained and also checks had been made with the Criminal Records Bureau and Protection of Vulnerable Adults. One staff 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 member had not yet received a completed CRB check but had a POVA check and was working under supervision until the CRB check was through. At the time of the last inspection training records indicated that staff had not received training in areas relevant to the residents living at the home. Training had improved. All staff had received training in epilepsy and all bar one had received training in autism awareness. Records indicated that only four staff members have received training in communication. The acting manager said that arrangements were in place for staff to attended training in communication methods and learning disability awareness. This will be assessed at the next inspection. The organisation has introduced a training programme to follow on from the induction programme that gives a more in depth understanding of the provision of care for people with learning disabilities.

One staff member is a trained nurse in their home country and an application has been made for accreditation of an NVQ. Staff receive supervision from the acting manager who has received training in providing supervision for staff. Supervision meetings are arranged for at least six times a year and at a time suitable for both parties. The supervision covers aspects of the staff members working routine including their strengths and weaknesses and also training needs and opportunities. Records of the meetings are kept in the staff member’s personal file. The acting manager receives supervision from the area manager. 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 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 competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 39 and 42 The residents are provided with opportunities to give their views on all aspects of life at the home and their health, safety and welfare is protected by the safe working practices operated there. EVIDENCE: The registered manager is currently on leave from the home and an acting manager has the responsibility for running the home. The acting manager has been receiving support from the area manager. Residents meet together to discuss the quality of care provided at the home. Staff also hold one to one meetings with residents to provide opportunities to obtain feedback on the opinions of the residents. Pictures, photographs and symbols and signs are used to assist the residents to participate in the discussions. The acting manager said that residents are involved in all aspects of the running of the home including changes to the environment such as redecorating of rooms and staff recruitment. The home has one vacancy for a 2 Ling Crescent DS0000012096.V269606.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 22 resident and the acting manager said that the views of the residents would be obtained with regard to anyone who is assessed as suitable for the home. At the time of the last inspection records for fire drills indicated that some staff members had not attended a fire drill. On this occasion records showed that all staff had attended fire drills, including evacuation of the residents.
