It is operated by Freeways Trust Limited, a charitable trust. The accommodation comprises a semi-detached house based over two floors in a residential area of Bristol. It is close to local shops and facilities. The home aims to provide support for people who are more able to live independently and it is not staffed for a whole twenty-four hour period.

Both are staffed by the same team and residents at the home are able to summon help from Underhay in an emergency. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.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, conducted over 11.5 hour, with the main focus on checking the progress of the requirements and recommendations from the unannounced visit in February 2006. The home has met five requirements leaving 1 that is partly met. This is in relation to ensuring the home holds appropriate documentation stating an individuals agreeing to their hours of support. During this visit care records and other relevant documents were examined; a resident gave a tour of the home and was actively involved in explaining the routines of the home. Further evidence was gained through discussion with a second resident and a member of staff. Residents were able to demonstrate how to summon assistance in an emergency due to the home not being staffed on a twenty-four hour basis. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The manager is in the process of developing care plans with health action plans also being implemented. The organisation has developed a quality assurance tool. Risk assessments were in place in relation to being home alone. The home has investigated the noise made by the washing machine; there is some improvement due to repairs undertaken.
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 The home has taken action to rectify the damp problem. The Gas Safety certificate central heating system has now been serviced. What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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): 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are assessed prior to being admitted to the home, and are referred for reassessment if their needs change and the home is no longer able to support them fully. EVIDENCE: There have been no new residents admitted to the home since the last inspection. Residents care files were examined. These included resident’s agreement, organisational assessment, assessment through funding authority, and care plan. It was evident through discussion with the manager and examination of an individual’s care file that their needs have changed and the home has involved other agencies within the Community Learning Disability Team in supporting them. This is seen as good practice and demonstrated a multi-disciplinary approach in supporting the resident. The manager demonstrated that she is proactive in ensuring residents needs are reassessed in order to offer other more suitable placements. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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, & 9 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care planning is in the process of being implemented, as are health action plans. Care plans need to document a change of hours of support. Residents are supported in making decisions and taking calculated risks in all aspects of their lifestyle. EVIDENCE: All three residents have been involved in care planning meetings either through a PATH meeting or Essential Lifestyle Planning. A resident had their PATH on the wall in her bedroom identifying her needs and wishes. The manager has started to produce care plans for residents in order to inform staff of individuals’ needs and how these should be met. She is aware of the need to continue to develop the care planning process and complete all residents’ plans. A review has been planned which will address a requirement to ensure documentation regarding their care reflects a change to their hours of support.
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Monthly key worker meetings are held in order to monitor progress and record future wishes and aspirations. A recommendation is made for outdated paperwork to be archived or transferred to another file in order that relevant and ongoing information is easily accessible. Also that appropriate paperwork such as residents reviews are signed and dated. Discussion with residents identified that they make decisions about the way the home is run, and about their lifestyles. This was also evidenced through discussion with staff and individuals care files. Two residents spoken with said they ask staff for advice and support if needed. Risk assessments and discussion with two residents demonstrated that they are encouraged to take risks according to their differing abilities within a risk management practice. Those risk assessments examined included accessing the community, using the kitchen, bathing, and financial dealings. It was evident that a risk assessment had been reviewed due to an incident occurring whilst a resident was cooking and that appropriate support is now in place. However an individuals financial risk assessment is in need of a review. With the home not being staffed over a 24 hour period residents are also supported to take risks in remaining at home alone. A requirement has been met to expand on risk assessing for being home alone. Two residents spoken with were able to demonstrate their awareness of getting support in an emergency. The home has a “piper-line” system that supports them to call for assistance at any time of the day. They were also knowledgeable in how they would contact the emergency services if necessary. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle

Their rights are respected and they are encouraged to take responsibility in their daily lives. Residents are supported in making healthy eating options with regard to menu planning. EVIDENCE: Residents access differing independent lifestyles such as work, college courses, and attend day services. They also take part in leisure opportunities regularly either independently, or through accessing other homes within the
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 organisation, as a base for activities. Day trips are offered with transport available through a mini bus that is based at Underhay House. All residents are supported to maintain friendships and links in the community. A resident said they had friends at another home that they visited regularly whilst occasional visits are made to Underhay House. A resident said they were planning to visit their family shortly which they were looking forward to. This would be undertaken independently. A resident explained their daily routines, including household tasks, laundry and cooking. Through observation it was evident that staff play a supporting role at Glenfrome, offering advice appropriately. Examination of menus identified that the residents are encouraged to view their food intake through a healthy eating philosophy. A resident spoken with explained how individuals take turns in cooking for each other. If there are some foods that are not wanted by a resident then an alternative is offered. It was evident that the 3 residents know each other well and are aware of any specific preferences. This individual also said that they needed more support with cooking now.

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 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are supported to lead healthy lifestyles with their healthcare needs being monitored well. There were safe systems in place for the administration of medication, however consent needs to be obtained from residents. EVIDENCE: Two residents spoken with explained specific areas that they may need support with in relation to their healthcare needs. These may include routine visits to the doctors, opticians, and dentist. Ultimately they made the choice whether they attended appointments alone or with help from staff. Examination of residents’ healthcare records evidenced that individuals’ physical and mental healthcare needs were being met through regular reviews of medication and advice from appropriate professionals. A resident said they had regular meetings with a specialist service who was helpful and supportive. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 A resident has completed their health action plan with the support of a specialist service; this included information about others involved in their healthcare and action for supporting them with their personal support needs, and eating healthily. The home operates a key worker system with monthly key worker reports including health monitoring and developing an action plan. It was evident that other areas of the residents’ lifestyle was dictated by themselves; they chose what time to go to bed and what to wear thereby demonstrating that their service was resident led. The home is informing the Commission for Social Care Inspection of events that affect the well being of the residents in respect of regulation 37. Medication is kept secure. The home holds a small amount of medication on the premises; the arrangements in place were satisfactory and met with appropriate organisational procedures. However there was no documentation stating that residents have consented to medication being administered; therefore a requirement is made for the home to keep a record of consent for all those requiring support with the administration of medication. The home has procedures in place for monitoring staff competency in the administration of medication; new staff initially shadow those deemed competent and are then observed through the medication process. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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 & 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents can be confident that they will be listened to and that they will be protected from abuse. EVIDENCE: The Freeways organisation has a formal complaints procedure; residents have been given an accessible copy of the procedure explaining how people can complain. It also includes appropriate contacts and timescales to respond to any complaint. All complaints are logged and with action and outcome recorded. The two residents spoken with indicated that they knew who they could go to if they had any concerns and complaints. It was evident through observation and discussion with both residents and staff that they also feel confident to express their views or raise concerns either through house meetings or care reviews. A resident said they had made a complaint recently and that the manager was currently investigating this. This is discussed further in Standard 33. The organisation has a policy on the protection of vulnerable adults. All staff are trained in abuse awareness within their induction period. Staff are also trained through local authority courses and by the manager who is a trainer in this area. The issues arising in the home that is viewed as bullying or controlling behaviour continues to be monitored and dealt with sensitively and appropriately by the manager and staff team.
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The home has involved other appropriate and relevant agencies in discussing the issues and specialist advice has also been sought. This was evidenced through records of meetings having taken place. The organisation operates safe financial systems for the administration of residents’ finances. This is followed by the home with specific controls in place that are adhered to. During this inspection, a Regulation 26 visit was made by the Principal Care and Development Manager. A copy of the report is sent to the Commission on a quarterly basis. These visits demonstrate that the organisation regularly monitors all aspects of residents care. Residents have a lockable space in which to keep their personal allowances; Excess money is kept at Underhay House for security and only senior management in the home have access to this. A random selection of finances was checked during the inspection at Underhay House. There was a record of all transactions and evidence that personal allowances and benefits were being paid to the individuals. The home operates a safe system for the administration of the finances of the residents. Care files included positive strategies for dealing with challenging behaviour, including triggers and techniques for supporting individuals that also support staff with clear instruction. Staff are trained through both Learning Disability Award Framework and a specific external trainer in recognising triggers in order to defuse situations that may be challenging. Examination of records indicated that the home involves appropriate professionals in supporting both staff and residents. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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.

Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ benefit from living in a comfortable and homely environment. EVIDENCE: Glenfrome Road is a semi–detached house which blends in well with the local community and is close to local shops and bus routes. The home has a sitting room, small kitchen and bedroom on the ground floor. There are two bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom on the first floor. The home has a large garden to the rear of the property. Since the last inspection a requirement has been met for action to be taken in order to treat damp in the home and the hallway has been painted. Two of the residents’ bedrooms were observed; they were decorated to reflect their individual tastes. One resident said she had recently had some new curtains. Residents have their own keys to both the front door and their bedrooms.
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 All areas viewed were clean and free from odour. A requirement to take action to reduce the noise level of the washing machine has been met. An investigation into the flooring where the washing machine is placed has been carried out and subsequent work has been implemented. However the home needs to continue to monitor the noise level. The two residents spoken with said they were satisfied with the facilities available within the home. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 34, & 35 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Competent staff support residents, however, the home must ensure the roster reflects a true picture of staff on duty and that those rostered hours are carried out by staff in order to ensure the assessed support needs of individuals are met. The home must ensure there is evidence that a thorough recruitment procedure is being undertaken. EVIDENCE: The home shares the same staff team and manager as Underhay House. An inspection of Underhay House was also carried out during the same date of this visit. Staffing hours for Glenfrome are held on the staff roster held at Underhay House. Staff are flexibly employed at the home at peak times throughout the day. A resident said that this is mainly in the afternoon and early evening when they cook their meals.
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Although there is a small core team of staff that support the residents at Glenfrome, it was evident through initial discussion with a resident that there was a recent occassion when a member of staff did not work their rostered hours. As recorded in Standard 22 the resident has registered a complaint with the manager who is in the process of carrying out an investigation. Examination of the roster also indicated that some staff listed to work at Glenfrome are not currently working there. A requirement is made for the home to ensure that the staff roster reflects a true picture of those staff on duty. Discussion with the manager also identified that she will seek to address difficult issues. She organised for a staff questionnaire to be sent out relating to racism. The manager is now addressing issues that were highlighted in the findings. This is good practice. Three staff working at both homes have a National Vocational Qualification Level 3 or a nursing qualification. Once staff complete the Learning Disability Award Framework, they then proceed on to registration for National Vocational Qualification. Currently there are a further three staff who are in the process of completing Level 3 whilst a further two are to commence shortly. The home is working towards meeting 50 of staff having a National Vocational Qualification. The home currently has one vacancy with two staff due to leave shortly. Interviews were taking place during this visit with the involvement of a resident from Glenfrome on the interview panel. This is good practice for residents to be involved in the homes recruitment practice. Six staffing records were examined; these provided evidence that staff are police checked through the Criminal Records Bureau, that staff complete an application form, and two references are sought. Records indicated that two references had been received for staff bar I person where a reference was uncompleted. The home must ensure that if references are deemed unsatisfactory that further references are sought, or provide evidence that they have followed the organisations recruitment policy in order to ensure the protection of residents. Staff records should also include proof of identity through a photograph. Through observation of staff records it was evident that there is an ongoing issue concerning a working visa for a staff member; discussion was had with Freeways who are dealing with this through the appropriate authorities. Training records identified that staff have attended first aid, food hygiene, medication, manual handling and health and safety. Other areas also covered challenging behaviour, mental health, and autism. Induction checklists identified that staff are instructed in day to day, and essential procedures of the home, and house security. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 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): 37, 39, 41 & 42 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is well run so residents can be confident that their rights and welfare will be safeguarded. However, the home needs to improve in some areas of health and safety in order that both resident and staff are kept safe. EVIDENCE: The registered manager, Miss Hayward has run the home for a number of years and has proved herself competent in all aspects of the running of the home. She has numerous qualifications and displays a good awareness of her responsibilities under the Care Standards Act. These include qualifications in NVQ 4 in care and management and an NVQ 3 in training and development. She is also an NVQ Assessor and keeps up to date by attending periodic training. She is the registered manager for Underhay House and Glenfrome Road.
224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Staff spoken with stated that all the management team are very approachable with this ethos extending to residents and their families. The organisation has recently produced a quality assurance tool meeting a requirement from the last inspection. This has yet to be implemented; the organisation are to pilot this and receive feedback prior to sending out to all services. The home currently seeks the views of residents through a series of meetings including those at review, key worker and house meetings. Fire training records indicated that annual fire training has been late; discussion with the manager and records evidenced that this will be carried out shortly. The home has smoke detectors and an alarm system. Records also identified that regular fire drills have not been carried out therefore a requirement is made for this to be implemented in order to ensure the safety of residents and staff. The fire risk assessment is also in need of being updated. Records indicated that fire equipment is checked on a weekly basis. Examination of documentation evidenced that a requirement has been met to ensure the gas central heating system has been serviced in the last year. The home has generic risk assessments relating to health and safety aspects and follows instruction through the control of substances hazardous to health in holding safety data sheets identifying risks. Day files record residents’ welfare and daily activities and communication between staff was seen through diaries; all confidential records are stored appropriately. Those records seen have been recorded previously in the text of the appropriate standard apart from a requirement to update residents’ inventories. The home has a current certificate of public liability insurance. 224 Glenfrome Road DS0000026638.V310591.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
