This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The Commission has, since the 1st April 2006, developed the way it undertakes its inspection of care services. This inspection of the service was an unannounced ‘Key Inspection’. The inspector arrived at the service at 10:35 am and was in the service for four and a half hours. It was a thorough look at how well the service is doing. It took into account detailed information provided by the service’s owner or manager, and any information that CSCI has received about the service since the last inspection. The inspector asked the views of the people who use the services and other people seen during the inspection or who responded to questionnaires that the Commission had sent out. The inspector looked at how well the service was meeting the standards set by the government and has in this report made judgements about the standard of the service. The inspector spoke with the manager, senior support workers and support workers on duty. The operations manager telephoned the inspector during the inspection to give an update on a premises issue. The three service users were at home for part of the inspection and staff helped them communicate their views on activities and aspects of their daily routines. A tour of the house was carried out and records relating to care, staff and health and safety were sampled. What the service does well:
The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment was well filled in and showed how the home meets the regulations and standards New service users can be confident that their needs would be fully assessed before they are offered a place in the home. Service users care plans meet their assessed needs in the way they prefer. Detailed communication guidelines help staff to fully respond to their needs. Service users are supported to take responsible and assessed risks as part of an independent lifestyle. The home is able to meet a diverse range of needs and can demonstrate that they would be able to meet any religious or cultural needs that may occur in the future. Service users are supported to lead as fulfilling lifestyle as possible by joining in activities in the local community. Daily routines are flexible to meet service users needs and preferences. Meals provided take into account service users preferences and dietary needs

These are very detailed and written in a way that shows how service users like to be supported. Daily records show that care plans are carried out. The AQAA (Annual Quality Assurance Assessment shows that care plans are drawn up with the involvement of service users, their family (if appropriate) and other professionals. They are reviewed at least six monthly and cover a variety of needs including aspects of personal care, mobility and access to the community. Evidence from this inspection, shows
87 Pinkneys Road DS0000011274.V366991.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 that the home would be able to meet a variety of diverse needs including cultural or religious needs. The three service users are unable to express their needs, preferences and choices verbally but detailed communication guidelines show staff how service users communicate their needs. In discussion with staff and from observation of practice it showed that they have a very good understanding of the service users non-verbal communication. They were seen to respond appropriately and include service users in conversations. There is a system of assessing risks to the individual in place and these are developed from each care plan. These cover areas such as personal care, outings, trips and falls, social skills and finances. They were up to date and relevant. The personal care risk assessment covers the risk of bathing but not all of the risks associated with this activity were fully documented. The manager agreed to update these immediately to show that the risks of falling, scalding and drowning had been assessed. 87 Pinkneys Road DS0000011274.V366991.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle

The people who use the service experience good outcomes in this area Service users are supported to lead as fulfilling lifestyle as possible by joining in activities in the local community.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Each service user has an activity programme in their file and daily records show activities and outings take place. Staff helped service users let the inspector know what activities they can join in at the day centre, this includes the sensory room, cooking, having make up applied, stories and art. Service users were not able to verbally communicate their views however it was clear
87 Pinkneys Road DS0000011274.V366991.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 from their reactions when staff talked about these activities that they enjoy them. Staff described how they support service users to access the community. There is a house minibus and car available, however a lack of drivers in the team sometimes restricts outings. The three service users have wheelchairs so outings for all are limited to when there are three staff on duty including a driver. Staff said that outings to local parks, shops and the garden centre take place frequently and this was shown in daily records. Staff helped service users tell about holidays taken and planned. They confirmed that care is taken to choose accommodation that meets the service users mobility needs and that there are appropriate staffing levels to meet their needs. One service user has a lot of contact with close family and this is evident in discussion with staff, photos and records. The other service users did to have an advocate but the advocate has now stopped contact. Efforts by the manager to find a replacement have so far been unsuccessful due to a lack of local resources. Records show service users preferences and choices in day-to-day routines. They also show how service users would like their privacy and dignity upheld. One service user prefers to spend time alone and whilst two prefer the company of each other and staff. Individual lists of likes and dislikes show their preferences in food and other aspects of daily life. Menus were sampled and show that a recommendation to offer less pre prepared food has been met. Menus have been reviewed with the input of a dietician. They are planned with the service users preferences, dietary or eating needs taken into account. Records show that alternatives are given if a service user doesn’t like the menu choice. Records show that food is cooked and stored at the right temperatures and that staff have been trained in Food Hygiene. It was seen that staff help service users if necessary and that their choice of where to eat their meals is respected. 87 Pinkneys Road DS0000011274.V366991.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support

Fire doors that were faulty have been repaired. The inside of the home was well maintained and further work is being carried out to improve the exterior. The manager said that there is a maintenance call centre now that gives quicker responses and she has access to a company handyman. A requirement to ensure the provision of a second dropped kerb to allow the safe travel of the homes minibus has been pursued with the council. The council have refused permission for a second dropped kerb but an alternative solution to the access problem has been identified. Work has started to clear the front garden to enable a turn around space for the minibus, so that the existing drop kerb can be used. The communal space is inadequate for the current needs of the service users. There has been a delay in fully meeting the requirement to review the communal space to meet the increasing needs of the service users and develop an action plan. At the time of the Annual Service Review the manager verbally updated the commission that a review and initial investigations have taken place to identify suitable alternative premises but to date no clear decision has been taken about whether this is the plan to be followed. A new requirement will be made that the registered persons submit a written action plan to the commission and the timescale in which this is to be achieved. This should show how they will provide adequate communal space to meet the regulations and standards and the needs of the service users. Service users bedrooms were nicely decorated and personalised with their belongings. Hoists, an assisted bath and wheelchairs meet their mobility needs. The home was clean and hygienic and staff confirmed they have been trained in infection control. The AQAA stated that enhanced training for staff has made sure they are competent to maintain a safe and clean environment.
