Bedford Road, 153 DS0000005236.V300967.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. 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. During the site visit the requirements and recommendations from the last inspection report were discussed and checked with the manager. The inspection was positive and evidenced that most of the key National Minimum standards for the service that were looked at during this inspection have been met or exceeded. A partial tour of the home was conducted. Care records and other required records were inspected. Records that were examined included a selection of resident’s care plans, daily diaries, medical notes, and medication and associated records, staff rotas and certificates of health and safety checks. Two residents were “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 deputy manager and returned prior to the inspection. The registered manager of the home, Mrs Elizabeth Murtagh is on short-term leave. In her absence Mrs Anne Marie Davies is the acting manager. (Mrs Davies is referred to as the manager for the purpose of this report). Discussion took place with the manager and two staff. All three 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/support plans for each person. The plans, which are reviewed and updated at regular intervals, reflect the needs, aspirations and goals of the individual and aim to develop the person’s life. Staff provide residents with appropriate assistance so that they are able to communicate choices and make 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. Resident’s personal and healthcare support is well monitored and recorded to ensure their physical, mental and emotional well being.

Bedford Road, 153 DS0000005236.V300967.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

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 The quality outcome in this area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a site visit. The service encourages residents to make choices and take responsible risks as part of an independent lifestyle, however. EVIDENCE: Detailed individual care/support plans were available for each of the residents. Case tracking showed that they were developed on the basis of assessments made. Two care/support plans were looked at in detail. The plans were well presented and covered all aspects of the person’s personal and social support and healthcare needs such as, communication, medication, behaviour management and financial support. There was evidence that the plans for both people have recently been reviewed and updated. The manager explained that each part of the plan is reviewed each month with the involvement of the resident/representative, manager and key workers. Following the review a monthly evaluation document is completed and identifies any changes made to the plan. Records that were seen evidenced this. Bedford Road, 153 DS0000005236.V300967.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 During discussion a member of staff explained in good detail the purpose of care/support plans and how they use them on a daily basis to support residents. Daily records are kept for each person, they were looked at as part of the case tracking process. This showed that staff support residents in accordance to their individual plan of care. All residents have limited verbal communication skills, however they are supported to communicate by use of other methods for example, gestures, sounds, and body language and by use of picture cards. Viewed at the home were a number of picture cards, which staff explained are used to assist residents to make choices about all aspects of their lives. Information about each persons preferred means of communication was available in good detail. During the visit staff were seen communicating effectively with residents they were seen offering residents choices and encouraging them to make decisions about things such as food and activities. Because of limitations none of the residents are able to manage their own finances. Financial support that residents need was recorded in their individual plan of care. Residents money and financial records that were examined were well kept and in good order. Records showed that each resident has a bank account in their own name. The accounts are however part of one single account which is managed centrally by the organisation. The manager and a member of staff described the procedure for obtaining residents money. They explained that the procedure takes some time and often residents have to wait a number of days before receiving their money. Arrangements should be made to enable residents to have direct access to their bank accounts so that they can obtain their money as and when they wish. For safety reasons there are certain restrictions placed on residents for example access without support to certain parts of the home and the community. 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 detailed 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.
