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 standard(s) 1,2,4,5 Prospective residents have the information they require. The staff have been successful in creating a person centred home, maintaining residents life skills and providing therapeutic support based upon their assessed needs and aspirations.

All admissions are managed through the community mental health team and social services that carry out full assessments of peoples needs.

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 standard(s) 6,7,9 There was good evidence of needs and risk assessments being carried out and reviews of such taking place. Residents are involved with decision-making and consulted about the running of the home within the limits of their willingness or ability to take part. EVIDENCE: All residents have a person centred care plan, which they were encouraged to take an active part in developing. Some residents require staff support in this process and some play a very limited part. A thumbnail biography called “about me” is written, along with “things you need to know about me what is essential, important and what I do and don’t like”. There are six monthly multidisciplinary reviews used to generate the enhanced care plans titled “my needs, my goals and my actions.” A number of residents choose not to attend these reviews. The person centred plan and enhanced care plan have been better integrated rather than stand as two separate documents. All residents have a named Registered Nurse and Care Assistant key worker. The named Nurse and key worker evaluates each care plan element at least 33A Hampstead Road D56_D05_S20228_33A Hampstead Road_V242287_010805_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 every two months. The staff write daily notes at each shift change. Individualised risk assessments have been written and are held in each person’s case file along with skills assessments and competences. The main areas of risk identified are: falling, bathing, smoking, alcohol and previous mental health history and medication compliance. Any restrictions on personal freedoms were documented in care plans. The majority of residents show little interest in the management of the home other than their attendance at the residents meetings, which are generally well attended. Six residents returned comment cards none wished to speak to an inspector, two indicated an interest in being more involved in decision making in the home, this was communicated to the manager. 33A Hampstead Road D56_D05_S20228_33A Hampstead Road_V242287_010805_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11,12,13,14,17 It was evident from the range of social and occupational activities taking place that the staff strive to enhance the quality of life for the residents. Residents regularly make use of community facilities and services. From speaking to residents and reviewing records it was evident that the food provided is to peoples liking and offers a healthy diet. EVIDENCE: 33A Hampstead Road D56_D05_S20228_33A Hampstead Road_V242287_010805_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 The emphasis of the service remains continuing care and some rehabilitation, also to maintain the existing life skills that people have. Where appropriate the long-term aim is to lead people toward a more independent lifestyle in the community. One resident has recently moved to a supported living environment. None of the residents is able to take employment. The long -standing mental health needs of the residents often militate against the likelihood of future employment or further education. Most of the residents make use of community services and facilities. Residents attend various venues including City of Bristol College and the city farm. A number of residents also go to the social/drop in centre at St Johns each week. Three or four residents currently attend the local church from time to time. An activity organiser, Mr Jessup has been employed for 22.5hrs a week over three days engaging residents with in and out of house occupation and recreation. In the main these activities are arranged on a one to one basis based around the residents choice. Mr Jessup chairs the residents meetings the most recent this month for which notes were seen. One suggestion made by a resident was for an inter-house chess challenge. A more flexible arrangement of working hours is being introduced to support evening social activities and days set aside to take people out. Holidays or short breaks have been arranged this year including a trip to France, the Imperial War museum and planned trips to Liverpool and Butlins in Bognor Regis A number of residents have regular contact with family members or friends, however in some cases residents have lost contact with family or do not wish to have contact. Family and friends are welcome to visit the home at the invitation of the resident. There is active involvement of the residents in choice of meals and requests for individual likes are discussed at the weekly meetings or catered for on a dayby-day basis.

There are no special cultural needs at present. There is no one with special dietary needs other than a diet controlled diabetic person. Two residents do prepare snacks with varying levels of support. There are three meals a day and the times are flexible.

In four comment cards residents indicated they were aware of whom to complain to if they were unhappy with their care.
