JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 11, 13 and 17. Residents are confident that the staff team will motivate them to become more independent and access appropriate activities of their choice in their community. However, residents are not confident that the staff will ensure that they have varied and creative meals and that they will be part of the menu planning. Residents are also not confident that they will be supported with any behavioural issues that they may exhibit. EVIDENCE: The home has provided an upstairs flat, which consists of a kitchen/diner, toilet and shower room for four residents to develop their independent living skills. Staff will support and help to motive the residents when required. A member of staff stated that one resident in particular regularly puts items such as toilet roles, kitchen cutlery and other items down the toilet and that this behaviour has been going on for some time. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that a behaviour therapist or other professionals are consulted with regards to management of the resident’s behaviour. The staff team have ensured that residents are a part of their community. Residents and staff spoken to said that, with staff support, residents access Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 their local pub, cinema, restaurants and one residents said that she has day visits to her relatives. Residents are also encouraged to participate in Tamarisk Opportunity Network (TOM). An activities support worker from TOM was spoken to about what service TOM provides to residents. She stated that TOM staff do outreach such as one to one visits to residents and support with escorting to day activities, work and walks in the community. The home’s menu was viewed and although the meals consumed by residents are now being recorded, as was a requirement at the previous inspection, the home is using an eight weekly cyclical menu and there was insufficient variety and creativity in the meals, especially the evening meals. Breakfast and lunch is recorded the same every day. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that a review of the menu is undertaken and that residents are involved in the menu planning process. Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

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): 19 and 21. Residents are confident that the staff team will support them with their health care needs and ensure that they receive regular check ups by a health care professional but they are not confident that their wishes will be met in the event of their death. EVIDENCE: On looking through four resident’s files, there was evidence that residents are being seen by health care professionals on a regular basis and receive regular health care checks ups. In addition to support from staff in the home, residents are supported by Tamarisk Opportunity Trust’s support staff with their emotional needs. Four resident’s files were viewed and none contained resident’s wishes in the event of them becoming terminally ill and dying. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that in the event of a resident becoming terminally ill and dying, that their wishes are recorded. Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 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. Residents are not confident that they will be able to have regular resident’s meeting so that they may discuss their views as a group. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints policy and procedure and a file for recording complaints. Two residents spoken to said that they are able to discuss any views and concerns they may have with any member of the staff team. They are also able to air their views at the resident’s meetings. However, the last resident’s meeting was on 19th May 2005, which is not often enough. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that regular resident’s meeting occur to ensure that residents are able to air their views and that minutes of the meetings are recorded.

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, 29 and 30. The staff are not ensuring that the residents live in a clean and safe environment internally or externally. Maintenance of various parts of the home such as the kitchen and back garden is poor and unsafe for residents, staff and visitors to use. EVIDENCE: On a tour of the home, the carpets in the lounge and on the stairs were badly stained, due to spillages. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that the carpets in the lounge and on the stairs are either cleaned or replaced. When viewed, the industrial washing machine was not working. Staff stated that it has broken down on numerous occasions and has been repaired but that it keeps breaking down. The residents and staff had to make do with an ordinary household washing machine, which is in the laundry room. An immediate requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that the industrial washing machine is either repaired or replaced. A tour of the back garden was found to be in a poor state of neglect. To one side were overgrown shrubs and bushes and weeds were growing through the crazy paving. There were also discarded clothes, plastic shopping bags, and a Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 bag with what appeared to be clothes inside and bags with other items inside. In addition, there was a large discarded wooden bed head and a large electric fan and near the laundry room door was a plant pot overflowing with discarded cigarette butts. A immediate requirements is made that the registered persons ensure that the back garden is cleared and cleaned. The kitchen was in a poor state when viewed. The cooker particularly was in a poor state. There were numerous heat stains, the sides were caked in old grease and inside was dirty and stained from years of food preparation. Most of the kitchen unit door handles were missing or broken, the potato pealing machine was dirty, the extractor was dirty and greasy and the floor to the side of the cooker and underneath units was dirty with food, grime and other bits. Two immediate requirement were made, that the registered persons replace the cooker and for a thorough kitchen cleaning programme to be implemented. All residents are physically independent and do not require any special equipment or aids, although there is an assisted bath available for resident’s use. A tour of the independent living flat was made and although generally in good condition, the toilet had faeces on the toilet seat and next to the toilet was a “baby potty”. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that the toilet in the flat is regularly cleaned and that the “baby potty” is removed. Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 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, 35 and 36. Residents are confident that the staff working in the home have the necessary skills and experience to support them. The registered manager is not ensuring that staff’s personal development is being monitored and that they are being supported by receiving regular supervision. EVIDENCE: On looking though five staff files, each had a photograph of the member of staff inside, as was a requirement from the previous inspection. Files also contained a copy of the staff’s induction. Throughout the inspection, staff were observed interacting with residents in a respectful and professional manner at all times. The staff training file contained various certificates and courses that staff have undertaken. For instance, two staff’s National Vocational Qualification NVQ certificates were seen. Protection of Vulnerable Adult certificates were also seen, one staff has completed a Makaton course and most staff have completed a learning difficulties awareness course. Although staff are receiving supervision, there is no consistency as to when they receive it. Some staff have gaps where they have not received any supervision for more than six months. A requirement is made that the Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 registered persons ensure that all staff working in the home receive regular supervision at least six times a year and that all supervisions are recorded. Finding information in staff files was time consuming because there was no structure or logical sequence to the information contained in the files. Information was all over the place and took time to sort out. A recommendation is made that the registered providers ensure that staff files are sorted into a logical and consistent sequence. Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43.

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): 41 and 43. Residents are confident that confidential information regarding them is at all times kept securely in the home. The registered manager is not ensuring that the health and safety of residents, staff and visitors are promoted and protected by ensuring that safety issues are dealt with as a matter of urgency.

Various safety certificates were seen and most were up to date and in order. Fire safety checks are carried out regularly. However, the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) certificate was seen and four contraventions were identified on 7th July 2005 and not all have been complied with. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that the Warwick Road 2 DS0000010534.V251104.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 identified LFEPA contraventions are complied with and confirmation of this is sent to the Commission.
