This unannounced inspection took place on the 17th and 19th July 2006, and was conducted by one regulation inspector. The inspector met ten of the twelve residents, the manager and five support staff and one visiting relative. A number of records were examined, which included residents care plans, medication records, staff and residents meeting minutes, health and safety and staff records. A tour of the premises took place. Verbal communication with the majority of the residents was difficult due to the level of their learning disability. However, the inspector spoke at some length with three residents who respectively stated that, ‘the home was alright” “ the staff are nice and support me”, and “the food is nice”. All residents seen appeared appropriately dressed, relaxed and at home. Prior to the inspection taking place, questionnaires were sent out by the Commission to six residents, six health and social care professionals, and six relatives. Fifteen questionnaires were returned, five from relatives, five from health care professional and six from residents who had all been supported by staff to complete the questionnaire. All comments received from the residents were positive regarding the home and the care received. The majority of the comments from professionals were positive, whereas comments from relatives were mixed with three being very pleased and two stating that communication in particular could be improved upon. Comments received are reflected throughout the report. What the service does well: The staff team feel well supported by each other and the manager. Feedback from a visiting relative and one questionnaire received was positive, with references being made to staff commitment towards the residents. Residents are well cared for and were observed to be happy and at ease with the staff.

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 the following standard(s): 1,2, 4 & 5 Quality in this area is good. This judgement had been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective resident representatives will have information they need to make an informed choice about the home and its suitability for a prospective resident. An organisational assessment procedure is in place. Details of assessments were seen on resident’s files. EVIDENCE: The manager had updated the Statement of Purpose and the Service User Guide. Adequate information is available to assist a resident’s representative to make an informed choice as to whether the home can meet the prospective residents needs. The manager said that all residents had been given a Service User Guide. Currently, the guide is largely in a pictorial format, which better meet the needs of the residents. Copies of both documents were given to the inspector and were seen to provide adequate information to residents and their representatives. Several of the residents have lived in the home for many years; four files were examined and assessment documentation was seen on all of them. Recent reviews had taken place, new needs identified and files updated. Macintyre Care has an organisational admission procedure, which includes visits to the home for the prospective resident and their representatives. The Anvil Close DS0000010164.V304151.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 manager is aware of her role in the assessment and evidence of her involvement was seen on the file of the newest resident. The manager confirmed that a series of visits took place. One, which was overnight, prior to the decision being made to offer a place. This was to ensure that the home was able to meet her needs as well as providing an opportunity for the resident and their representatives to decide that they wanted to reside in the home. Contracts were seen to be in place in the four files examined. The contracts included details of the terms and conditions between the home and the resident. The contract between the home and the resident is in a pictorial format, which best meets the residents needs. Anvil Close DS0000010164.V304151.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7 & 9 Quality in this area is good. This judgement had been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans and monthly summaries are in place. The Care planning system is person centered and aims to ensure that individual needs are being met. Risk taking is acknowledged by staff as part of developing an independent life and individual assessments are carried out to support this. EVIDENCE: Four care plans were examined. Care plans are well maintained and supported with monthly summaries, which detailed changes in health, medication, contact with family and activities involved with. The standard of recording is good. Staff try to involve residents as much as possible in their care plans but due to the level of learning disability of the residents, particularly those on the ground floor, it is very difficult for them to be involved in their care plan. The home is looking at trying to involve relatives more. Care plans are supplemented with a person centred plan, which are mainly pictorial and detailed hopes, fears and dreams. Details in these documents varied primarily due to the communication levels of the residents and the involvement of relatives in providing information where residents are not able to communicate Anvil Close DS0000010164.V304151.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 verbally. Goals identified for residents were sometimes practical, such as an activity they have always wanted to do or a holiday, which they might think that they are not able to go on. Changes in need were well documented in the care plans following reviews. General and individual risk assessments were also in place in the files seen and were up to date and were regularly updated. The home operates a key worker system, which endeavours to promote continuity of care. The residents spoken with were aware of who their key worker was and staff spoken to had good knowledge of their key residents. Anvil Close DS0000010164.V304151.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’ 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13 14 15 16 & 17 Quality in this area is good.

The home provides a very good environment for them to develop their social skills as far as they are able. Staff continue to encourage and support residents to be as independent as possible. EVIDENCE: Each flat has its own television and music equipment. Several residents also have their own televisions and radios in their rooms. All 6 of the residents on the ground floor attend a day centre Monday to Friday. On the first floor residents have a more individualised day programme according to need. Activities involve gardening, theatre and computing. The majority of the residents on the first floor can go out on their own to known places. Local shops are located close by and the home has a mini-bus which enables staff at the weekends to take residents further a field. Written evidence was seen of trips out. The manager said that she is looking at the residents being involved in more meaningful activities, which they get something out of. Trips out can Anvil Close DS0000010164.V304151.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 then link into resident’s personal development plans. Holidays are also encouraged and supported. One resident spoke to the inspector of their trip to France, Belgium and Germany in May with two other residents. The same resident was also due to go on holiday with their day centre to Brighton, which they were looking forward to. At weekends, some residents visit family members on a regular basis. Others receive regular visits from their family. The visiting relative confirmed that she is always made welcomed at the home and that their relative have regular home visits, which the staff support them with. Another relative reported that they were not always made to feel welcome and that following home visits at weekends, it could be difficult to see a familiar staff member who knew their relative. In discussion with the manager, she stated that this issue has been addressed following a recent review with the introduction of a communication book to ensure that relevant information between the home and staff is shared. Another relative in her questionnaire was very positive, concluding that the home seems to be very well run and organised, good caring staff and had a generally cheerful, all round atmosphere. Staff were observed to treat residents with respect. For example, staff were seen to get down to eye level to talk to several residents in wheelchairs. One staff spoke of knowing the residents who cannot communicate so well from their facial and body language and spoke warmly of their love for the job. The menu showed that residents are offered a good range of foods. Staff reported that most meals are prepared from fresh and that healthy eating is encouraged.

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): 18,19 & 20 Quality in this area is good. This judgement had been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents receive personal support, which meets their physical and emotional needs. Minor changes to be made to medication policy in respect of administration of medication. EVIDENCE: As previously mentioned, the majority of residents are non-verbal or find it difficult to discuss their needs in detail. One relative’s questionnaire was received, one telephoned the office prior to the inspection taking place and discussed the care of their relative. Views varied as regards their satisfaction with the care provided from very good, “ I could not ask for more,” to “complete breakdown in communication with staff in the home”. The manager reported that she and her staff team are endeavouring to build better relationships with a couple of the resident’s representatives. The manager showed the inspector a communication book, which is used to share information as well as being about to implement regular bi-monthly meetings to discuss any concerns or issues. The manager was also able to speak about the steps being taken in respect of some concerns raised by another residents Anvil Close DS0000010164.V304151.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 relative. Following discussion with the manager and staff, the inspector was satisfied that appropriate steps were being taken to address issues raised. Daily records are kept on each resident, and these were seen to be filled in appropriately and gave a clear picture of each person’s day. These feed into the monthly report sheets, which feed into the six monthly reviews. The health care professionals questionnaire reported that communication between the home and the centre was excellent and that they had no concerns regarding the care provided within the home. The medication policy was examined and found to be of a good standard, with the exception of advice given as to how administration could be given. This was discussed with the manager, concluding that the section must be rewritten and medical advice sought and obtained in writing as to how medication can be given, where residents may refuse to take their medication. Records (MAR) were fully completed. The allergy section on MAR sheets was also completed. Medication was seen to be appropriately stored in the two units where medication was examined. All staff receive medication training prior to being allowed to administer medication to residents.
