This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection took place over the course of a morning and afternoon. It was a key inspection and the visit took place with no warning. This inspection was undertaken as part of the statutory inspection process in accordance with the Care Standards Act, 2000. All key standards were assessed according to the Care Home for Adults (18-65) National Minimum Standards. As part of the planning process the home submitted an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). Regulation 26 visits; Regulation 37 incident reports and survey forms were also used to inform the inspection. 2 survey forms were returned from people who live in the service. Both people responded very positively to all the questions asked such as: “ do the staff treat you well” “Is the home fresh and clean” “Do you make decisions about what you do each day” Information from the AQAA has been used during the inspection to evidence and inform the inspection. What the service does well:
People who are considering this service will have their needs and aspirations assessed before they move in. this means that they will know if the home is right for them before they make a final decision. People have their changing needs reflected in their individual plans which means that the staff know how to care for each individual. People who live in the service say they are able to make decisions about their lives. People living in the service are supported to take risks. People living in the service are able to take part in activities, which interest them in the local community. People say they are able to keep in touch with family and friends. People are encouraged and supported to eat healthily. From information received people tell us that they are supported in the way they want and prefer. Good recording of information means that people who live in the service have their physical and emotional needs identified and met, through partnership working between the individual, staff and healthcare professionals. People who responded to the survey form said that they knew who to speak to if they were unhappy and they were confident that they would be listened to. People live in a bright cheerful environment where they are able to personalise their own private space. The home is clean and hygienic. The home has a robust recruitment policy and procedure, which ensures that the people living there are protected.
Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 There is a system of quality assurance, which means that the people living in the home are listened to and the service develops to meet their wishes.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. An admission procedure is in place that ensures prospective service users are only admitted on the basis of a proper assessment and subsequent trial period ensuring the home is confident the service they provide will meet potential service users’ needs. EVIDENCE: The home has a comprehensive admission policy and from the records viewed it was clear this was being thoroughly implemented by the manager and staff at Flambard Avenue. There had been 1 admission since the last inspection. All pre-admission assessments had been collated and used to obtain a detailed picture of the service users needs and abilities. The records clearly demonstrated the time and care taken to understand the service user’s needs as much as possible prior to the actual admission. This included staff from the Flambard Avenue visiting the prospective service user, the service user visiting and staying for overnight and week-ends visits and staff from the previous placement staying at Flambard Avenue for two nights to support and encourage the new service user to settle well into his new environment. There was further evidence on Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 files to demonstrate that service users are subject to a one month, three month, six month and ultimately an annual review of the placement. Information is available to prospective new service users and there is a service user guide produced in an accessible format using clip art and simple text. Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7,9 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who live in the service have individual plans, which reflect their changing needs and goals. People say they are able to make decisions about their lives with support. People are supported to take risks. EVIDENCE: 1 person’s care plans were examined. This provided comprehensive information about persons’ identified needs, expected outcomes, identified risks, support and care actions, early warning signs, recognised triggers and behaviours displayed followed by strategies to support the individual e.g. proactive, active and reactive. All areas relating to general health and mental health, finances, mobility, personal care, communication, family and friends, daily activities, routines eating and drinking and household tasks are incorporated within the plans. The plans are written in the first person and hold examples of how the person likes to be supported e.g. “I need staff to
Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 support me in dialling a telephone number”, “ I need some supervision and gentle verbal prompts”. The manager and staff advised that the assessments and plans are developed and reviewed with input from relatives and significant others and where possible with the service user; though this is often through observations of the service user’s behaviour and reaction to situations and the environment. The plans are reviewed monthly. The Manager and staff spoken to in addition to records viewed demonstrated that the service is proactive in promoting the rights of service users to make decisions and control their lives. There are no limitations placed on service users in relation to their choices or human rights. Staff provide information and assistance in order to support the individual to make their own choices and decisions. Examples include menu planning, daily and weekly timetables, shopping, choosing clothes and toiletries, preparing drinks and snacks and personalising their bedrooms. The home has a comprehensive, user-focussed risk assessment policy and procedure in place. Risks are well documented and focus on enabling service users to continue to take responsible risks and maximise independence. Where, from the case files examined, risks had been identified following a needs assessment these had been duly recorded. As with care plans, risk assessments are updated monthly or on ‘an as and when basis’. Service users receive support and training, where necessary, such as Health and Safety training, road safety and personal safety when out in the local and wider community in addition to going swimming, out for lunch, walks or to the shops.

All service users have regular organised daytime activities, which can be flexible according to individual choice. The AQAA submitted by the home details that each person has a “flow of the Day” and picture boards and symbols to plan their day. This was evidenced during the inspection. Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Trips out into the community include swimming, horse riding, going for walks, to the pub, trampolining and shopping either by public transport or in the homes own transport. 2 People attend college, 1 person attends a work placement. 3 people went on holiday together. During the inspection 1 person went out with a member of staff and other helped prepare lunch and another person was in their room. Staff demonstrated flexibility in responding to individual needs. Relative’s details were recorded on service users’ files. Care plans seen provided detailed information about social contacts and significant people in the lives of service users, and daily care records included entries relating to contact with families, friends and acquaintances. Service users can entertain either in communal rooms or in their own bedrooms. Visits home to family are regularly facilitated. Housekeeping tasks are featured in the Service User guide and included in individual care plans. Service users are able to spend time in the privacy of their rooms, bath and shower when they choose and go to bed when they want to. Observation throughout the inspection showed that service users had freedom of movement around the premises and were able to help themselves to drinks and snacks when they wanted. Staff were seen to be sensitive to individual needs and promote independence. A visitor’s book is kept at the entrance of the home and was clearly used by the regular entries noted. From discussions with staff and observations made throughout the inspection it was evident that staff are very aware and respectful of the rights of the service users and the importance of encouraging and supporting service users to develop a safe level of independence based within the risk assessment framework. A sample of menus was viewed as part of the inspection. This showed service users were offered a varied and nutritious diet and supported to follow a healthy eating plan. Service users usually helped themselves to their own breakfasts and ate together in the evening. People can be involved in planning, preparing and cooking the meal if they choose to. During the inspection lunch was eaten together with staff in the dining room. 1 person chose to eat their meal on their own in the lounge. A menu planning pack has been purchased which is in pictorial form and includes laminated pictures of food and is colour coded to denote nutritional values.

Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 The home has a fire risk assessment, which was reviewed on 18/08/07. Weekly and monthly health and safety audits are also undertaken. All permanent staff had completed emergency first aid and the majority had undertaken food hygiene training. These training courses are provided on a rolling rota system to ensure all staff are appropriately trained. Temperatures of fridge/freezer and food cooking were all recorded. COSHH substances were stored safely and had accompanying data. Water temperatures are kept at 43degrees C and are also tested weekly. There are robust systems in place for monitoring the performance of the home against its’ Statement of Purpose and The Care Homes Regulations to ensure service users achieve good outcomes. These include feedback questionnaires from placing social workers and families, which are then used to inform the annual action plan, Regulation 26 visits, monitoring of all accidents/incidents/medication, concerns, health and safety issues and through day to day contact and observation of the people living in the service. All fire records were complete and show that necessary in-house and specialist checks, fire training and fire drills had been undertaken. Accident and incident records cross-referenced successfully to service user’s files. The door of the office on the ground floor was wedged open. This is not appropriate however as the office is so small to have the door closed would be very claustrophobic as there is no window. The manager said she finds it impossible to work in the office with the door closed. Other doors such as the one leading into the lounge have closure mechanisms on them, which would release if there were a fire. It was also noted that there was a wedge in 1 person’s bedroom. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) was done in April 2007. Flambard Avenue (24) DS0000065314.V347367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
