What the care home does well

3 Lenham Road provides a welcoming, homely, bright and airy environment. Personal health care needs are well supported. Service users are encouraged to maintain regular contact with external agencies and professionals to managed their health care and personal preferences. Service users are supported to maintain regular activities and social events at a pace comfortable to them. The home has recently benefited from a more stable staff team. Staff know the individuals well and communicate effectively with them. Continued good relationships and contact is maintained with service users and their family.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Through the refurbishment and repair to the first floor bathroom, service users are guaranteed a safe and comfortable bathing facility. Good progress ahs been made in developing a service user guide that is understood by the current tenants. This was acknowledged to be an evolving document Good progress has been made in transferring all care plan paperwork to MCCH formats and implementation of review process.

What the care home could do better:

Staff would feel more confident in the support they provide for service users through specialist input and guidance in the effective management of current behaviours being experienced. Service users would benefit from very clear guidelines for all PRN medication to ensure safe and consistent administration by staff. Personal aspirations, friendships and compatibility to continue sharing the home should be discussed and monitored with the service users and advocates on a regular basis to ensure that it is meeting their individual needs. Through the refurbishment and repair to the kitchen units and work surfaces and deep cleaning, service users would be guaranteed a safe food preparation area. Service users and staff would benefit from regular internal audits / monitoring by the manager of records held in the home. Through monthly regulation 26 visits, better monitoring and quality assurance of the service will be achieved. Following so many changes in the management of the home, undertaking a formal quality assurance of the services provided to families, professionals and service users in the home will enable the new manager to assess the impact this may have had and appropriate action to take for future planning of the service. Service users and staff would feel more supported and secure by having a permanent manager in post.

The home provides 24-hour residential care for three adults aged 18-65 years with a learning disability. The house is located within near the Headcorn village that has major shopping and banking amenities. The accommodation is provided over two floors, with three single bedrooms occupied by service users on the first floor. There is no lift to the first floor requiring tenants to be able to manage stairs. There is a shared bathroom and WC on this floor. The staff sleep in room is located on the ground floor adjacent to the entrance hall. The ground floor also has a WC and walk in shower room, lounge, dining room and kitchen. The home has a small garden and off road parking for one car. There is ample parking without restriction on nearby roads. The staff roster allows for one staff member on a sleep over duty, with 2 to three staff during the day working structure and flexi shifts. The home has no ancillary staff employed to undertake catering and domestic duties. With the homes usual routine being for all staff and service users to undertake these tasks. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection, the second in the year running from April 1st 2005 to March 31st 2006. The visit lasted from 9:50 am until 14:25 pm. The home currently has two service users in residence who have lived together for over 14 years. The home is currently running with one vacancy. The visit was spent talking directly with one-service users privately and collectively with the two care staff and newly appointed manager. A service user had left for the day to attend their day service and returning home to their parent s for an over night stay. Due to the nature of the service, it is difficult to reliably incorporate accurate reflections of the service users. Some judgements about quality of life and choices were taken from direct conversation with service users and observation followed by discussion with care staff and evidencing records held at the home. Time was spent reviewing care plans and other associated documentation. A tour of the premises was undertaken. Following a review of managers for MCCH locally, internal transfers have taken place since the last inspection. Due to this the acting manager has moved to another home earlier this month and a new manager transferred to the home from 21st November. Due to unforeseen circumstances, this will have been the fifth manager over two years. This has also bee the case for the senior support workers posts. The current manager wishes this arrangement to remain stable for the benefit of the service users and staff team. What the service does well: 3 Lenham Road provides a welcoming, homely, bright and airy environment. Personal health care needs are well supported. Service users are encouraged to maintain regular contact with external agencies and professionals to managed their health care and personal preferences. Service users are supported to maintain regular activities and social events at a pace comfortable to them. The home has recently benefited from a more stable staff team. Staff know the individuals well and communicate effectively with them. Continued good relationships and contact is maintained with service users and their family. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 the following standard(s): 1 Information is available to enable individuals to make an informed choice about living at 3 Lenham Road. EVIDENCE: Both service users have lived at the home for a number of years. As identified in the last inspection since the departure of a fellow resident last year, the current group living relationships have become strained due to changing dynamics of those living here. Staff continue to support them through this, expressing that there have been some improvements and joining in some outings and activities together. There are no plans for anyone to imminently ‘move on’. This is an area staff and the manager should explore further through service user reviews of their personal aims and aspirations. The service user guide as been reviewed is evolving using photographs and simple wording and object referencing. . 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.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 health, social and personal care needs of service users are encouraged offering regular contact with specialists and external professionals. Service users are treated with genuine respect and dignity by support staff. EVIDENCE: Through discussion with a service users and sharing of their current care plan, it is clear that service users are given full support and encouragement to maintain personal contact with health and social care professionals, to maintain good standards of health and social care. Guidelines and risk assessments would be better stored together to enable new staff to access information that is most important. Daily diaries were discussed with some very good entries that really gave the reader a good understanding of how the day had gone for the service user, how they felt, what they had done and needed help with. Records seen had some minor gaps in recording and an area easily addressed by staff and picked up by regular monitoring and auditing of records by the manager. In house reviews have taken place for both service users in August and September. It was noted that no reference to compatibility or 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 relationships with fellow housemates was recorded or proposed support /action being offered. The service user talked fondly and with familiarity to care staff on duty today. Records are stored securely and service users do not allow these to be share with others without their personal agreement. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

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): 11,12,13,15, Community links are good and personal relationships and activities outside of the home are encouraged and maintained at the individual’s choice. EVIDENCE: Service users are able and encouraged to follow hobbies and interests of their own choosing and the staff knows individual personal preferences. Care records reflect that a steady, though flexible routine occurs on a day - to -day basis and those in the home feel safe with this. Outings happen daily both planned structured sessions at local day centres, adult education as wells as more leisure opportunities such as the local pub as a particular favourite and having ‘lunch out’. Watching personal videos, TV, colouring, looking through magazines and other in house activities continue to be offered and are clearly enjoyed. A service user was attending the local adult day centre and the other was supported to go to do their banking and then lunch out. A service user continues to have very regular contact with their direct and extended family through home visits and was going to stay over night today. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 The other service user has contact with their direct family through structured supervised visits with staff two/three times a year. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.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.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18,19,20 Intimate and personal care needs are attended to in a dignified manner and the physical and emotional health of individuals is promoted. Safe medication practices are followed but will be further enhanced through separate PRN guidelines EVIDENCE: Staff are clearly aware as to the type and nature of the support required for individual’s personal and intimate care needs. Every effort is made to maintain privacy and dignity when people are being supported with bathing, washing and dressing. Due to behaviours being experienced additional assessments, guidance would ensure confidence that the care and guidance promoted is being managed appropriately. Following review with the psychiatrist it was recommended that a referral be made to the psychologist. The records did not evidence whether this has been done and the manager will discuss with staff. Medication was overall managed well and will offer consistent approaches by staff in having written guidelines for all PRN medication not just Diazepam Stesolid. This would ensure consistent safe administration within clear set triggers and action to be taken. Photographs were inserted to the MAR sheet sections during this visit. Due to staff changes signatory lists need reviewing. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 A few minor gaps were identified but easily addressed by staff and the manager.

EVIDENCE: The home has a clear complaint procedure. Due to the nature of the service and those living here, using this system is limited. It is evident they would be heavily reliant on a relative/ advocate/staff to identify concerns and raise them on their behalf. Staff who have been spoken with over a number of visits continue to evidence a good understanding of how to protect and prevent abuse, including reporting under local procedures. There are no current adult protection alerts relating to this home. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

The ground floor has an adapted shower room that is not used by current service users. The laundry cupboard continues to require attention to the walls due to ongoing flaking paint. 3 Lenham Road DS0000024086.V261851.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 The kitchen is in need of a deep clean with high fat stains and debris on the walls, tiles and extractor fan.
