However, the home has a new assistant manager, yet the name of the previous manager is still in place. The home has a good service user guide, which has been produced in pictorial format. A requirement is made that the registered persons must ensure that the statement of purpose is updated to reflect the present situation in the home.

They also contain information regarding how the staff will support the resident. However, the care plans had not been updated since 2003. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that all resident’s care plans are regularly reviewed. None of the residents are able to fluently communicate verbally. The registered manager said that resident’s decision making is based on the staff team’s previous observation of individual residents and previous information gathered about them. He went on to say that staff, especially the key-workers could understand some gestures and mannerisms made by the resident and have an understanding of the meanings. Resident’s care plans were seen to contain information on resident’s likes and dislikes. 1 CAMBSTONE CLOSE G59 S10416 Cambstone Close V231342 07.07.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Due to the nature of the residents learning difficulties, they are not able to fully contribute to the day to day running of the home. However, staff have been working hard to ensure that outside professionals work with the residents to improve their awareness and comprehension. The registered manager stated that a behaviour team carried out an assessment on residents and the staff team from October 2004 to February 2005 in order to give advice on possible ways of communicating and understanding each other. The registered manager went on to say that a person centred planning facilitator came to the home on 26th February 2005 and did a days training with staff. The home also uses “objects of reference” and some residents have limited signs that they use and staff understands their meanings.

All residents have risk assessments in place, which were seen to be updated every six months and more frequent if necessary if there are any significant changes to resident’s behaviour. 1 CAMBSTONE CLOSE G59 S10416 Cambstone Close V231342 07.07.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.
