This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users can feel confident that their needs will be assessed before they move into the home. EVIDENCE: No new service users have been admitted to the home since the last inspection. However, professional assessments were contained on all three care plan files and the Community’s own assessments were also seen. These included the interests and aspirations of each service user. Care plans with clear goals were in place for all three service users. Risk management plans had been formulated on the basis of individual assessments of risk. These clearly identified actual and potential restrictions on freedoms and choices. Belvedere DS0000003650.V327565.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.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 6, 7 and 9 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are very well supported to make choices about their lives and pursue their individual goals. EVIDENCE: All three care plans were examined. The plans were very well organised and showed clearly how individual goals and needs were being pursued and met. They had been regularly reviewed and were signed by service users. Each plan set out detailed goals regarding the physical emotional and social needs of the individual. There was a clear and well-defined cycle of assessment, planning action and review in the plans and daily records. Within the plans there were comprehensive risk assessments and risk management plans. Documents were seen in the files relating to specialist mental health support. Reviews had taken place under the Care Programme Approach. The plans had been regularly reviewed within the Community. Details of restrictions on usual freedoms were recorded with the reasons for such restrictions. In discussion Belvedere DS0000003650.V327565.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 staff showed an awareness of the contents of the plans to which they were evidently adhering. Discussion with one service and a visiting relative confirmed that the plans and records concerned accurately reflected the needs of each individual. For example, one service user had recently experienced a family bereavement. A visiting relative commended the way in which this matter had been dealt with and the support received both by the service user and the family. All this was accurately documented in the service user’s plan, including advice from a specialist support worker. The choices available to service users were evident from the care plans, discussion with staff and the relative. Belvedere provides a home for three service users with substantial and diverse support needs. It was evident that each had choices about employment, social activity and the development of their skills and interests. In discussion one service user confirmed that he was very satisfied with the support offered by staff. This included help to gain voluntary employment, The promotion of an interest in opera and help with a gardening project. This discussion and evidence from the plans demonstrated a thoughtful and active approach to supporting service users and meeting their individual needs.

One service user attended work, another went out with a visiting family member and the third rose late and was looking forward to activities in the afternoon. All service users had access to the Community’s commendable activities programme which includes arts, crafts sporting and outdoor activities. On the day of the inspection visit, two musicians employed by the community visited the home. Belvedere DS0000003650.V327565.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 As described above, one service user had received help to gain voluntary employment, maintain an interest in opera and help with a gardening project. The same service user also had been taken to see a classical ballet to provide an opportunity to extend his interests. Another was being supported to maintain an exercise programme and attend weight watchers. Daily records, individual plans and discussion with a visiting relative showed how relationships with family and friends were being very well supported. This included family visits, trips out and telephone contact. The visiting relative spoke highly of the sensitive and flexible support received by both the service user and family at a time of bereavement. One service user spoke of his contact with a local church group and attending a “men’s breakfast”. The rights and responsibilities of service users were clearly respected by staff. Each service user had a key to their room. Individual plans demonstrated how the independence of each service user had been promoted within the framework of clear risk management plans. A sample of the home’s menus was provided before the inspection visit. These reflected a varied and nutritious diet. There is space on the menus for comment and review by the manager. Meals are organised on a shift by shift basis. Service users are consulted and involved in the purchase of food for the home. Records are kept about the food actually taken at each meal. A meal was taken with staff and a service user during the inspection. This was wholesome and appetising and taken in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere. During this meal, the service user received appropriate advice and encouragement from staff to maintain a regime of weight reduction. Large amounts of fresh fruit were freely available for service users in the home’s lounge.

Other sensitive support had been given to the service user at this time. For example, a verse read at the funeral had been retained and laminated for the service user. Another service user was being supported and encouraged in a weight reduction programme. This included opportunities for regular exercise, a change of diet and attendance at a local weight watchers group. Belvedere DS0000003650.V327565.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 In addition to the support available in the home, the Community has a consultant Psychiatrist. Individual plans also showed how external mental health workers and other agencies (e.g. with regard to employment) were deployed to support service users. Specialist advice and support has been sought concerning the needs of one service user with an autistic spectrum disorder. Care plans showed evidence of routine and specialist healthcare appointments. For example, correspondence was seen concerning recent general health checks, optical and dental appointments and minor surgery. The home’s system for administering medicines was examined. None of the service users at the home was administering their own medication at the time of the visit. Medicines were stored in a locked cabinet in the home’s office. A monitored dosage system was in use. There were no controlled drugs requiring additional security. No medicines were in use requiring cold storage. Some homely remedies were in use. Their use was covered in a professionally approved list. Records of the administration of medicines were up to date and in good order. Some medicine was being administered “as required”. There were detailed guidelines for staff concerning the use of this medicine. For one service user with communication difficulties, this was linked to a “communication chart” which had been developed in consultation with the local specialist support team. Staff training in the use of medicines is provided by the Community as part of it’s ongoing training programme. This is supplemented by new staff being observed by experienced workers to ensure that follow good practice.

Since the last inspection, a staff sleeping-in room has been converted into a shower room to improve the showering and bathing facilities in the home. New, more hygienic flooring had been fitted in the toilet on the first floor. Records were inspected which showed routine maintenance and safety checks for the home. These included, for example, checks of fire safety equipment and fittings and the testing of electrical equipment. Some radiators in the home were not covered. A risk assessment should be produced concerning these unprotected hot surfaces. A satisfactory standard of hygiene was maintained in the home. This took account of particular individual need.

Other monitoring systems were in place such as checks regarding personal care and the cleanliness of the home. Health and safety issues were examined.

Risk assessments for environmental hazards were seen and routine checks were being carried out regarding, for example, water temperature. It is recommended that risk assessments should be conducted in respect of uncovered hot surfaces. Evidence of safety checks was seen. This included such checks as personal electrical equipment and fire safety equipment.
