They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . The admission process ensures that needs are assessed and that people using the service are fully involved within the process. Evidence: Since the last inspection the Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide have been reviewed and improved to make them more accessible for people who use the service. Three people living at Kingsthorpe Grove have lived at the home since for several years. There has been one admission since the last inspection. An assessment of need was undertaken. In discussion with the acting manager they are concerned that the four people who live together have competing needs and these can impact on their development and overshadow each others needs. Files contain good information that had been gathered as part of the assessment process. This information is updated with ongoing work especially in relation to social Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 33 Evidence: and health care needs. People who completed the survey confirmed that they had been consulted about moving into the home and had visited several times before making a choice. A relative said in their survey that the Move to this home from another Mencap home was managed well with their relative being the focus of the decision making. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 33 Individual needs and choices These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s needs and goals are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. People are able to make decisions about their life, including their finances, with support if they need it. This is because the staff promote their rights and choices. People are supported to take risks to enable them to stay independent. This is because the staff have appropriate information on which to base decisions. People are asked about, and are involved in, all aspects of life in the home. This is because the manager and staff offer them opportunities to participate in the day to day running of the home and enable them to influence key decisions. People are confident that the home handles information about them appropriately. This is because the home has clear policies and procedures that staff follow. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . People using the service can expect that practices within the home promote their involvement and independence. Evidence: Support plans are in place for people using the service. These are being updated to make them person centred and accessible for people using the service. It is evident that they are reviewed on a regular basis. An annual review is undertaken with the funding authority. People using the service meet with their key workers at which time support needs are reviewed to ensure that there is continuous development. People spoken with during the inspection were very positive about living at Kingsthorpe Grove and the support they receive with their personal care. They said that we are happy and that our views on how they are supported were respected. Feedback from families confirmed that overall they pleased with how their son or daughter was being supported. Comments from one relative however felt that there family member was not always dressed appropriately for the weather. In discussion Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 33 Evidence: with support workers it was evident they are very knowledgeable about the needs of individuals using the service. They did however confirm that it was not always possible with present staffing levels to meet all of the needs of people using the service outside of the home. This does have impact at times on relationships and increases tensions between individuals. Support plans seen contained strategies for support worker to minimise risks within relationships. Risks within activities are considered on an individual basis and plans made to minimise these for each person. People using the service users are encouraged to be as independent as possible with appropriate support. In this way individuals are included within activities and not excluded because of any behaviour that may arise In observation of practice within the home support was seen to enable people using the service to develop their skills and participate in everyday activities that they previously were not able to achieve. Skills are achieved by the consistent approaches used by support workers. People using the service have access to a wide range of daily living activities. One person was out shopping at the start of them inspection whilst another was encouraged to set the table for tea. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 33 Lifestyle These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They can take part in activities that are appropriate to their age and culture and are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives and the home supports them to have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. People are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. Their dignity and rights are respected in their daily life. People have healthy, well-presented meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. People have opportunities to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. This is because the staff support their personal development. People choose and participate in suitable leisure activities. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . Planned intervention enables and supports people to develop personal skills and take opportunities for social and community activities. Evidence: Each person at the home also attends a day centre during the week. Records of all recreational activities were maintained. Activities taking place included cinemas, clubs, bingo and visiting the pub. Activities do have to be planned and cannot always be spontaneous because of the level of support required by individuals. This was noted in surveys from people using the service and from staff. I wish I had more funding for leisure activities If its not my turn I really get upset More staff during the afternoon to allow for more than one person using the service to go out for activities It was evident that staff enabled residents to maintain links with family and friends. This was confirmed within the relative surveys. Visitors would be were made welcome Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 33 Evidence: and people using the service are supported to make phone calls and go out to visit their friends and family. People using the service said that they could choose what to do at the home and that daily routines are flexible to suit their preferences. Support plans recorded individual choices. Menus are prepared on a weekly basis in discussion with people using the service at their weekly meeting. The menu can be changed to reflect changes in the weather or activities. The evening meal served during this inspection appeared appetizing and well presented, the dining area was congenial and people were relaxed. Information provided in the pre inspection questionnaire stated that people using the service are actively encouraged to eat a healthy diet Picture cards are used to enable people using the service to plan their meals for the next week. These are colour coded in accordance with government guidelines e.g. Green means a healthy choice. In discussion with people using the service and staff they felt that the quality of meals provided was good. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 33 Personal and healthcare support These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . A trained staff team ensures that people using the service are supported in meeting their healthcare needs. Evidence: People using the service users are supported to have regular health checks and there is evidence on files that GP, specialist, dentist and optician appointments are made. Personal support is provided in a discreet manner and with individual preferences being a top priority. The support plans are person centred and clearly state how people wish to be supported. Medical profiles have clear information about each persons health care needs. The files contained background information on specific medical conditions that aide support workers understanding of the healthcare needs of people using the service. All people living at the home are supported with medication as the risk would be high to self medicate. A good medication recording system is in place that demonstrates the path of medication coming into the home with safe administration and disposal. The home does not have a controlled drugs cabinet and this needs to be reviewed so that the Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 33 Evidence: service would comply with the new regulation that came into force in 2007. All incidents are recorded on file to show how support workers have reviewed practice to minimise future risks. Here necessary individuals have detailed plans that support their healthcare needs. Support workers were found to be fully aware of the details of these plans. People using the service were seen to use their files and were aware of their contents. The community learning disability healthcare team supports the service and provides support when required. Health care professional said that staff seek advice and act on it and to what the service does well People using the service come first Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 33 Concerns, complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . People using the service users are protected by policies and practices within the home. Evidence: Information provided in the AQAA and through notifications to CSCI the service has referred eight safeguarding incidents and investigated these. The manager states within the AQAA that Over the last 12 months we have improved the way in which we deal with safe guarding procedures. Unfortunately this is through experience of completing safeguarding forms. Actually dealing with safeguarding incidents has given the staff team a renewed understanding of how important safeguarding procedures are. It is evident within care records that support workers have developed strategies in supporting people using the service to minimise the escalation of behaviours that are disruptive and place others at risk. Records show a significant reduction in incidents. One complaint has been received since the last inspection and this was investigated. The complaint was upheld and resolved. The services complaint procedure is available in a user-friendly format and available to all people using the service. In discussion with people using the service they said that if they had any worries or fears they would tell a support worker or the manager. All support workers receive induction and foundation training, which includes training on the safeguarding of vulnerable adults. Support workers spoken with were aware of the correct procedures to follow. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 33 Evidence: Recruitment processes also protect people using the service as records confirm that Mencap have robust checking procedures for references, criminal record disclosures and Protection of Vunerable Adult checks.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . The home is maintained to a good standard, providing a warm and relaxed environment with good personal and communal space. Evidence: There are adequate rooms to enable everyone to have their own personal space in the large converted dwelling. Individual rooms are personalised, comfortable and well maintained. People using the service are supported in maintaining their rooms to a high standard of cleanliness and safety. The acting manager states in the AQAA that We have a daily task sheet and cleaning is separated in morning and evening tasks, service users are encouraged to be involved with the cleaning when possible, on weekdays this is not always possible in the mornings as service users leave the house by 9:30am, but at weekends they are encouraged to be involved with cleaning tasks. Service users actively take rubbish out to the bins and are aware of how separate items for recycling and need very little support to do this. The home is well maintained and decorated to a good standard. There is a family size kitchen that is large enough for people to be assisted to be part of meal preparations. A large dining area enables people to share meal times in a relaxed and warm environment. Over the past year the following areas have been upgraded and redecorated as confirmed in the AQAA. Over the last 12 months the kitchen and Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 25 of 33 Evidence: dining room area has been replaced and redecorated. Service users were consulted on what units and worktops they would like for the kitchen Service users were also consulted on what colour they would like the area painted. The communal space provides for individuals to undertake a range of activities within the house. Records demonstrate that health and safety checks are undertaken with people using the service to maintain a safe home.
