Conditions of registration: Date of last inspection 13th February 2006 Brief Description of the Service: 92 Wilcot Road is a care home for three people with a learning disability some of whom were previously cared for in a nearby long stay hospital for people with a learning disability. The home is located in the small town of Pewsey. The service replicates principles of ordinary living and the house, which is semi detached, is indistinguishable from other houses in the street. All the bedroom accommodation is in single rooms and there is a range of communal space including an attractive patio and garden. The service is managed by the White Horse Care Trust, which has a number of similar care homes throughout Wiltshire and beyond. The aim of the service is to provide ordinary living that maximises independence. The home provides transport for accessing the local area and further a field. Service users can attend Marlborough day centre for day activities subject to the availability of places. Typically 2 people staff the home through the waking day. At night time one staff member sleeps in and is expected to respond to any night time and emergency needs as they arise. DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The unannounced key inspection took place over five and a half hours. At the time of arrival there was one member of staff at home who explained that one person was attending a dental appointment, one was at a resident’s consultation meeting and one was at the day centre. The manager was not available until the afternoon, when she returned with one service user. The inspector was able to meet with the deputy on her return from the dental appointment during the morning. The inspector had the opportunity to meet one service user in private and spend time with two members of staff. As part of the inspection process three service user surveys were sent out and three were returned. Five staff surveys were also returned to us. The judgements contained in this report have been made from evidence gathered during the inspection, which included examination of two case files, risk assessments, staff recruitment records, staff training, staff induction, quality assurance, medication practices and health and safety. Fees for this service range from £986.44 - £1,062.30p per week. What the service does well:
This remains a stable group of three people living together in an ordinary house. There is a current statement of purpose and service user guide. The home is ensuring people’s care plans reflect their assessed needs. There are risk assessments in place to ensure that people can live independent lives. These are kept under review. Person centred plans are being developed further. Each person has their goals identified and there are clear ‘paths’ to how the staff will support the person to reach their goals. Service users are able to express their opinions and participate in the running of the home and any decision making regarding changes or improvements, which are planned. People have the opportunity to attend leisure and educational activities of their choice. Staff members support service users to experience holidays abroad and develop their social skills. Staff members support people with their personal care needs and ensure that all of their healthcare needs are met. Medication is well managed and records were found to be satisfactory. Staff members are properly recruited, inducted, trained and supervised. Health and safety is taken seriously and regularly checks on equipment are carried out. There are mechanisms in place to ensure that quality assurance is monitored. Overall this is a service where people are safe and listened to and a service rarely complained about.

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): NMS 1 and 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. People are provided with current information to enable them to decide where they wish to live. People’s needs are assessed to ensure that the home can provide the service that they require. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home’s statement of purpose and a copy of the service user guide was examined and found to contain current and relevant information about the service provision. People confirmed that they had been provided with sufficient information about the service prior to moving in. Three out of three people also confirmed that they had been asked if they wished to move into the home. One person commented “I like it here, better than when I was in hospital”. Two case files were sampled and evidenced that a full holistic assessment of people’s needs had been completed. The assessments covered all aspects of the persons life including mobility, communication, daily living skills, health needs, emotional needs, medication, accommodation, personal care needs, sexuality, psychological, spiritual and nutritional needs. Records demonstrate that the assessments are kept under review. DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Each service user’s file has a copy of their contract and a statement of terms and conditions. There is also a pictorial copy of the contract and the complaints procedure. DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): NMS 6, 7 and 9 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. Care plans reflect the assessed needs of the people who use this service. Individuals are encouraged to make their own decisions and choices. Strategies are in place to empower people to take informed risks in their daily lives, whilst there are measures identified to minimise any risks. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The manager confirmed that each service user is involved in the planning of their care. Each care plan reflects the assessed needs of the person and identifies things that are important to them. People have identified their ‘goals’, which are illustrated and outlines the next step or action that is needed to reach their ultimate goal or desire. There is evidence to show that some people have reached some of their ‘goals’ and there is guidance on how to maintain them. Staff members explained that one person’s goal was to have their hair dyed and the ‘pathway’ to achieving this goal incorporated buying magazines and suitable hair colours. This is a good example of person centred planning and is an area that was agreed can be
DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 further developed. It is evident that service users participate in the decision making in the home, although this good practice is not always recorded. People are allocated a key worker to provide consistency and enable relationships to build. One service user confirmed that they knew who their key worker was and reported that they get on well with them and that they would talk to them if they were unhappy about anything. Choices are made verbally or by pointing to things, which someone may want. One person’s care plan states that although they are unable to verbally communicate their needs, they can demonstrate if they do not want to do something by gestures, body language and facial expressions. The manager confirmed that the person’s communication skills have developed greatly since being at the home. Files show that people have the opportunity to go to church if they wish. One person’s records show that they choose not to attend church regularly, however they enjoy going to the carol service at the Gateway Club at Christmas. Entries in the activity planner evidence that another person regularly attends the church of their choice with staff support. There are measures in place to minimise any potential health and safety risk to the people using the service, whilst enabling them to live an independent lifestyle. Risk assessments are regularly reviewed to take into account any changes to the person’s needs. DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle
The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): NMS 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 Quality in this outcome area is good. People who use this service have the opportunity to access appropriate activities within the local community. Family and friends are welcome at the home. People are respected as individuals and are able to engage in appropriate relationships. Menus are devised to suit people’s individual dietary needs. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Service users have the opportunity to participate in various activities. One case file sampled showed that the service user attends the Marlborough Resource centre four times a week. It shows that they participate in drama, cookery, snoozelen, completing puzzles, swimming and exercising to music. They also attend a music club one evening a week. Another person attends the Gateway club where they play skittles, bingo and have discos. On the day of the inspection one person had returned from a resident’s meeting and reported that they “did some dancing” after the meeting, which they had enjoyed. The Trust run a monthly ‘crafty club’ where service users from other
DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Trust homes can meet up and do arts and crafts. One person confirmed that they enjoyed going there. The manager confirmed in the completed Annual Quality Audit Assessment (AQAA), that they are exploring more ‘out of the home’ activities during the forthcoming winter months and to also devise a list of indoor activities, which people may wish to do so they can explore new experiences. They added that they plan to provide a monthly activity such as a film night and to be able invite people from other care homes to join in. There is pictorial evidence to show that staff members support people to travel abroad on their holidays. One service user showed the inspector her photographs from the previous year in Greece. Staff members confirmed that this year she is going to the Algarve in October so the weather would be more comfortable. Another lady is going to Greece with a service user from another local Trust home, with staff support. It was noted in one persons care plan that their evening routine has now become more structured to meet their needs. The deputy manager explained that one person now has two goldfish, which they look after. This helps the person to carry out their morning routines, as feeding the fish is part of that routine. There is other various activities available to people such as horse riding, massage, beauty treatments, cooking, watching television and videos or DVDs, drawing and ‘music for health’ sessions at another Trust home. The daily notes show that one person recently went to a local church fete. One lady commented that they enjoy sitting in the garden when the weather allows. Staff members report that they support people to send cards to family and friend on special occasions. There is evidence of family involvement and one person also keeps in touch with a previous member of staff. One person has a close relationship with a friend at the day services, which is monitored by the staff team. One service user commented that they clean their own bedroom. They added that they can clean the sink but cannot hoover the carpet as they have a bad back so staff do this for them. One case file records that the person does not have a lock on their bedroom door. The deputy explained that they have a fear of being locked in. The care plan informs that the person is unable to use the telephone independently without staff support, however they can access the telephone in the office if they wish to enable privacy. During the inspection staff were observed interacting with the people who live in the home and not exclusively with each other. Service users were offered the opportunity to choose what they wanted to do and where in the house they wished to sit. One person returned to the home following an anaesthetic for dental work and staff members took time to ensure they were comfortable and pain free and they were offered appropriate refreshments e.g. soup. People appear to enjoy the food offered at the home. One person said “I like cooking shepherds pie, I make it here sometimes”. Care is taken to ensure individual dietary needs are met. One person has to watch their weight, as
DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 they are diabetic so a healthy eating plan was devised. Menus were sampled and appeared to be healthy and varied. DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): NMS 18, 19 and 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. People are supported with their personal care in a way that they prefer. Input from healthcare professionals ensure that people’s physical and health care needs are met. Medication policies and procedures protect people where possible. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Guidelines are in place to ensure that service users receive the support and care they require with regards to their personal care. One care plan informs staff that when delivering personal support there needs to be a ‘consistent approach’. It adds ‘Allow her to do things, which she is able to do by herself with support-give praise, respect choices and wishes’. Each person living at the home attends an annual OK health check. It was noted that one lady had attended a ‘well woman’ clinic for a routine mammogram, staff explained the procedure to her but she had chosen not to go through with it. Staff had respected her decision, however would try again next time an appointment came through. There is evidence of professional health care input for example psychiatrist, doctor, dentists and opticians. Behavioural observation charts are in place to
DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 monitor and evaluate interventions and outcomes. Management guidelines are also in place. Medication is well managed by the home. There is a weekly stock check of all medication held by the home. This took place on the afternoon of the inspection when two staff diligently checked all medication. At the time of the inspection the home did not hold any controlled drugs. Records showed that there were not gaps in the entries on the medication sheets. There are policies and procedures on place to safeguard service users where possible. All ‘as required’ (PRN) is recorded separately on a yellow sheet so that it is easily distinguishable. DS0000028656.V336560.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): NMS 22 and 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. People who use this service are able to raise any concerns and know that they will be listened to. Service users are safeguarded from abuse where possible. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Service users are provided with a complaints procedure in an abridged format using symbols and text. There is also a copy in video format if needed. Each person has a pre-paid addressed postcard, which they can send directly to the Trust’s chief executive if they wish. Service users confirmed that they know the procedure for making a complaint or raising a concern. Comments included: “Yes, I would post my card” “I can speak to my key worker or other staff”. “I will always tell staff if I am not happy”. Five staff survey forms were returned to us and all confirmed that they are aware of the safeguarding adults procedure. Staff who spoke to the inspector confirmed that they would not hesitate to follow the procedure if they suspected any form of abuse was taking place. They were aware of the home’s ‘whistle blowing policy’. Staff members reported that they have seen the ’No Secrets’ guidance. Staff members attend training on abuse awareness and this is also covered as part of the Learning Disabilities Award Framework (LDAF), which provides a good underpinning knowledge of safeguarding people.. Service users money is kept secure. Staff members access funds from their petty cash for service user’s expenditures and then it is claimed back from the Trust. Staff report that the system works well.
