Inspection on 03/10/06 for Arbor Way

Also see our care home review for Arbor Way for more information

This inspection was carried out on 3rd October 2006.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Good. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done. The inspector also made 3 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

Service users care plans are detailed documents. They are reviewed on a weekly basis so that staff know how best to support service users. There was good attention to people`s personal care and appearance. Service users are supported to enjoy activities in the local community. All service users went on holiday abroad. Service users are supported to maintain personal and family contact. There is a "contact form" on care plans, which is a running record of the service users contact with their family and friends. Health and safety is well managed so that service users health and well being is protected.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Good progress had been made on previous requirements.Risk assessments and guidelines had been implemented for the use of wheelchairs so that service users are supported safely. Manual Handling risk assessment were in place so that staff know how to support service users safely. The lounge has been redecorated and new furniture and carpet provided so that it is comfortable for service users. Staff have completed training on Supporting Ageing People, Various aspects of Autism, moving and handling updates, Epilepsy, Person Centred Planning and Medication training. The manager and two support workers were due to attend a seminar on Parkinson Plus. It is positive that as well as mandatory training updates, training specific to the needs of the individuals who live at Arbor Way has also been completed. This ensures that staff have the knowledge and skills to meet service user needs. The manager completed the registered managers award in July 2006, which was a condition of registration.

What the care home could do better:

Staffing levels must be kept under review. The organisation must review the management arrangements for the home. When the manager is off duty or on leave there is no senior support staff available. The provider must ensure that an effective staff team supports service users at all times. This was raised in previous inspection reports. The organisation`s policy on Adult Protection required some amendments as raised in previous inspection reports so that service users are fully protected by the organisations procedures. This is an outstanding requirement.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Staffing levels must be kept under review. The management structure must be formally reviewed so that service users benefit from a well supported team. EVIDENCE: There is a flat line management structure with a team of support workers. There is no senior support worker or deputy manager. If and when the manager is not on duty or on annual leave there is no one in a senior role to take a lead. Previous inspection report required that these arrangements must be reviewed with CSCI so that the home has an effective staff team, with sufficient skills and experience to meet the needs of service users. This remains outstanding and the provider is again required to review the staffing structure. Due to the changes in need of one service user staffing levels had been increased from two to three staff on duty at core times. Arbor Way DS0000004494.V311834.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 There were 70 care hours vacant, which are of a result of increased staffing levels to meet service users needs. Two staff were appointed in recent months. Staff spoken to were positive about the support they receive from the manager and how they work as a team. The staff induction pack was seen this includes emergency procedures that staff must follow and reference to other policies and procedures.

This ensures that staff have the knowledge and skills to meet service user needs. Staff recruitment files were seen. They contained all the required documents and ensure that service users benefit from appropriately recruited staff to protect them from harm. Staff have received support and development sessions with the manager on a monthly basis. These sessions take place so that the manager can discuss with staff their work with individual service users, policies and procedures and training and development issues. Minutes of staff meetings were available and indicate regular meetings take place in the home, which ensures good communication so that service users are supported by an effective staff team. Arbor Way DS0000004494.V311834.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users health, safety and welfare is promoted and protected. EVIDENCE: The manager was registered with CSCI in September 2005 and completed the registered managers award in July 2006, which was a condition of registration. The manager has continued to develop the service. She is open in her approach. Policies and procedures are made available to staff and are discussed in one to one sessions and during staff meetings. Health and safety is well managed. A number of records were checked and were up to date indicating that service users health and safety is protected. Arbor Way DS0000004494.V311834.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Fire tests and servicing had been undertaken as required. There was good information available about the specific needs of individual service users and how they should be supported in the event of the fire alarm being activated. The fire, electrical and gas supply had been serviced and tested as required. Records showed that staff do regular checks on the hot water delivery temperatures so that service users are protected from the risk of scalding. The manager completes monthly safety audits. These had good detail and cross-referenced to relevant documentation such as changes to risk assessments. The homes continuous improvement plan was seen it involves service users and staff views and includes action points from CSCI inspection reports.
