What the care home does well

The service has developed good care plans for each person. Care plans, which are reviewed and updated at regular intervals, provide staff with most of the information that they need to support residents. Residents are encouraged to make choices and decisions as part of an independent lifestyle. The service is good at encouraging and supporting residents to maintain fulfilling lifestyles in and outside of the home. In the main resident`s personal and healthcare support is well monitored and recorded to ensure their physical, mental and emotional well being. Staff are motivated and have a good understanding of the needs of the residents. Residents and staff benefit from a manager who is open and positive.

What has improved since the last inspection?

This was the first inspection at Beaconsfield Road since being occupied by two new residents in May 2006.

What the care home could do better:

Residents with limited verbal communication skills are assisted to communicate by other means however, other means of communication should be explored so that residents have maximum control of their own lives. More information must be provided and a risk assessment must be carried out for one resident in relation to a specialist health condition. Staff files must include all the required information to show that they have the necessary experience and the qualities for the job. All staff must receive protection of vulnerable adults training so that they know how to respond appropriately to suspicion or evidence of abuse or neglect.

There are currently two men in residence. The home is owned by Liverpool Housing Trust and operated by Expect, formerly Sefton Support Services.

Beaconsfield Road, 39 DS0000005305.V320498.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The two people that previously lived at Beaconsfield Road have moved to other placements. On the 5th of May 2006 two young men, the staff group and the manager were reallocated to the home from a similar one, which was closed and de-registered by Expect. This was the first inspection visit (site visit) at the home this inspection year. The visit was unannounced and took place over one day for a total of 6 hours. The Commission considers 22 standards for Care Homes for Adults (18-65) as Key Standards, which have to be inspected at least once in a 12-month period. All Key standards, which are identified within the main body of the report, were inspected during this inspection visit. The inspection was positive and evidenced that most of the National Minimum standards for the service have been met. Those that have not were discussed with the manager and are identified in the relevant sections of this report. A partial tour of the home was conducted. Care records and other required records were inspected. Records that were examined included a selection of residents care plans, daily diaries, medical notes, medication and records, staff rotas and certificates of health and safety checks. One resident was “case tracked”. Case tracking means that the Inspector concentrates on the care given and experiences of one or more residents to get an idea of what is like to live at the home and how that person’s needs are being met. A pre - inspection questionnaire, which was sent out to the home was completed in good detail by the manager and returned prior to the inspection. Discussion took place with the manager and two staff. Both residents were met with. The nature of the disability of the residents is such that it was not always possible to obtain direct views about their experiences. Information held at the Commission for Social Care and Inspection office, the pre - inspection questionnaire, comments made during interviews, observations made and records examined during the visit have been used towards measuring standards for the purpose of this report. What the service does well: The service has developed good care plans for each person. Care plans, which are reviewed and updated at regular intervals, provide staff with most of the information that they need to support residents. Residents are encouraged to make choices and decisions as part of an independent lifestyle. The service is good at encouraging and supporting residents to maintain fulfilling lifestyles in and outside of the home. In the main resident’s personal and healthcare support is well monitored and recorded to ensure their physical, mental and emotional well being. Staff are motivated and have a good understanding of the needs of the residents.

Both care plans were detailed, well presented and organised into sections that covered all aspects of the person’s personal and social support and healthcare needs including, communication, medication, behaviour management and financial support. There was evidence that both care plans have recently been reviewed and updated. The manager explained that monthly reviews of the persons health and social needs takes place in adittion to six monthly reviews of the whole care plan. Both care plans showed evidence of the involvement of the resident/representative, key workers and social workers. During discussion a member of staff explained in good detail the purpose of care plans and how they use them on a daily basis to support residents. The member of staff said, “care plans are important to know the individual and it is important to look at Beaconsfield Road, 39 DS0000005305.V320498.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 them regularly in case a persons needs have changed”.

The manager was advised to explore this further with the resident A member of staff said “I encourage residents to do things for themselves such as washing dishes and making beds, this is important to encourage their independence”. For safety reasons there are certain restrictions placed on residents for example access without support to certain parts of the home and outside. There are also instances when some decisions and choices have to be made for residents by others. Restrictions placed upon people and choices, which need to be made by others and the reasons why, were recorded in each person’s plan of care. Risk assessments were part of each persons care plan. They have been carried out for tasks and activities which residents are involved in that are likely to pose a risk to them. Risk assessments that were seen identified potential risks and hazards and the action that staff need to take so that residents are able to take risks safely as part of an independent lifestyle. Risk assessments that were viewed showed that they have recently been reviewed and updated. Case tracking showed that a risk assessment has not been carried out for one resident in relation to a specialist health condition. This was discussed with the manager.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are provided with appropriate personal and healthcare support, which ensures their health and well-being.

They also detailed the persons preferred routines regarding personal care. Information was available in a way, which ensures residents privacy, dignity and independence. During discussion staff showed a good understanding about the main principles of care the following comments supported this: “When assisting residents with personal care I always make sure doors and blinds are shut”. “I think it is important to be courteous so I always say good morning to residents” Beaconsfield Road, 39 DS0000005305.V320498.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 “I encourage residents to do whatever they can for themselves” “I always make sure that residents are covered when receiving personal care”. This section of the care plan showed that residents are offered minimum annual checks and that their health regularly reviewed and monitored and dealt with appropriately. As well as visits to primary healthcare services such as dentist, opticians and doctors residents are also supported to attend specialist services. Records detailing the visits were available in good detail. As part of the case tracking process the health care records for one resident were looked at in detail. This showed that information about a specialist health care condition that the person has needs to be recorded in more detail so that staff are able to identify and deal with potential complications. This was discussed with the manager. The plans also address other health issues, which are important in maintaining the persons physical, mental and emotional well being such as sleeping, moods, exercise and weight. At the last inspection one care plan detailed that the resident should be weighed weekly, however this had only been done monthly. Records showed at this inspection that the persons weight is being monitored and recorded weekly as stated in the plan of care.
