What the care home does well

CARE Shangton is going through a time of change as a decision has been taken to relocate the service within the next five years. This inspection showed that staff and service users have risen to the challenge and are, for the most part, looking positively to the future. Consultation with services users is at the top of the agenda and People First (an advocacy service for those with learning disabilities) are working in the home to help ensure the people who live there can make informed choices about where they want to live when the CARE Shangton site closes. At present the people who live at CARE Shangton are accommodated in one of five cottages, or three flats. This enables them to live in small family groups, or on their own, if they prefer this. During the inspection we looked round one of the cottages. The environment was homely with a large, comfortable lounge/dining room at its centre. Bedrooms were individually decorated and personalized, reflecting the hobbies and interests of the occupants. Service users have access to a wide range of work, educational, and leisure activities both on site and in nearby towns and villages. Of the 56 people who live in the home 28 are working, either as volunteers or on a paid basis. Jobs include work in catering, retail, and packing, and are both on and off-site. This is an excellent outcome for the people who live in the home as it provides them with the opportunity to gain work experience, and in many cases earn a wage and integrate into the wider community. Staff have excellent relationships with the people who live in the home. They were observed interacting with service users in a warm and positive manner, taking an interest in them, and showing genuine appreciation of them as unique individuals. Every member of staff we met was enthusiastic about working at the home and knowledgeable about the service users they care for. The home`s Registered Manager is well-qualified and has substantial experience in care. Since the last inspection she has taken on the role of Regional Manager for the company who owns CARE Shangton. Although busy, she continues to stay in touch with the people who live in the home and ensure their interests are put first. She maintains an `open door` policy and during the inspection a number of service users dropped into her office for a chat and to see what was going on. It was evident that they felt comfortable doing this and were always made welcome.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has been involved in an anti-bullying initiative in conjunction with community policemen and women. Anti-bullying workshops have been held and awareness raised amongst service users about the effects of bullying and what to do if it happens. One of the flats has been refurbished and improved to make it more accessible to people with limited mobility. In response to service user feedback, the way information about the future is sharedhas changed. Large meetings are no longer held as service users said they found these confrontational and stressful, instead they are kept up to date at small group meetings or on a one to one basis.

What the care home could do better:

The Statement of Purpose/Service Users Guide must be updated to include information about the planned relocation of the home.

This means the people who use this service experience excellent quality outcomes. This was a key inspection that included a visit to the home and inspection planning. Prior to the visit, we (throughout the report the use of we indicates the Commission for Social Care Inspection) spent half a day reviewing information relating to the home. During the course of the inspection, which lasted five hours, we checked the key standards as identified in the National Minimum Standards. This was achieved through a method called case tracking. Case tracking means we looked at the care provided to three of the people living at the home by meeting them; talking with the staff who Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 6 of 29 support their care; checking records relating to their health and welfare; and viewing their personal accommodation as well as communal living areas. Other issues relating to the running of the home, including health and safety and management issues, were examined. We also talked to four other service users, the Registered Manager, Day Services Manager, two Day Services Tutors, the Manager of one of the bungalows, and two Support Workers. Prior to this inspection, a Random Inspection was carried out on 7 May 2008 to follow up concerns raised with CSCI about the way change was being managed at the home. This resulted in one Requirement being made about service user involvement in the running of the home. This has been met. What the care home does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The home has been involved in an anti-bullying initiative in conjunction with community policemen and women. Anti-bullying workshops have been held and awareness raised amongst service users about the effects of bullying and what to do if it happens. One of the flats has been refurbished and improved to make it more accessible to people with limited mobility. In response to service user feedback, the way information about the future is shared Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 8 of 29 has changed.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is good. People who want to come to the home have their needs assessed to ensure it is suitable for them. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards 1 and 2 were inspected. Evidence: People who want to live at CARE Shangton first have a written assessment to see if the home is suitable for them. This takes into account their views, and the views of their families and any significant others. Health and social care staff are also consulted. This helps to ensure that the home will be able to meet a persons needs if they decide to move in. Potential service users are then invited to visit the home as many times as they like, staying overnight if they wish, This helps them to make an informed choice about Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 29 Evidence: whether they like CARE Shangton and want to move there. Records showed that people recently admitted to the home had plenty of opportunities to visit. The Manager said that anyone wishing to come to the home is told from the outset that CARE Shangton is re-locating within the next five years. However this is not stated in the Service Users Guide. The Guide, and any other similar documentation, must be updated to include information about the future of CARE Shangton. This will help to ensure that potential service users and their representatives are aware of the planned relocation. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 29 Individual needs and choices These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s needs and goals are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. People are able to make decisions about their life, including their finances, with support if they need it. This is because the staff promote their rights and choices. People are supported to take risks to enable them to stay independent. This is because the staff have appropriate information on which to base decisions. People are asked about, and are involved in, all aspects of life in the home. This is because the manager and staff offer them opportunities to participate in the day to day running of the home and enable them to influence key decisions. People are confident that the home handles information about them appropriately. This is because the home has clear policies and procedures that staff follow. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is good. Detailed care plans help staff to identify and meet the needs of the people who live in the home. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards 6, 7, and 9 were inspected. Evidence: All the people who live in the home have PCPs (person-centered plans). These help to ensure the care provided fits in with their lifestyles and meets their particular needs. The plans cover the health, personal and social needs of the person in question, and their likes/dislikes and preferred routines. They are evaluated at least once a month to ensure the information in them is up to date. One resident got out his PCP to show the inspector. He went through it, talking to the inspector about each of the sections, and the accompanying pictures and photos. He Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 29 Evidence: was familiar with the content and said he liked his PCP and found it useful. Records showed that the people who live in the home were being prepared for the future when those who live at CARE Shangton will be relocated. All had been consulted and their views recorded. One service user told the inspector When we move Id like to live in a group home. This had already been recorded in her PCP in a pictorial format. The people who live in the home are encouraged to make decisions and take responsible risks. For example, all go out frequently and use community facilities, but with different levels of staff supervision depending on their needs. This helps the people who live in the home to increase their independence and decision making skills, while at the same time remaining safe. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 29 Lifestyle These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They can take part in activities that are appropriate to their age and culture and are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives and the home supports them to have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. People are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. Their dignity and rights are respected in their daily life. People have healthy, well-presented meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. People have opportunities to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. This is because the staff support their personal development. People choose and participate in suitable leisure activities. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. Work, educational, and leisure opportunities enable the people who live in the home to lead full lives and grow in independence. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17 were inspected. Evidence: The people who live at CARE Shangton have access to a wide range of work, educational, and leisure activities both on site and in nearby towns and villages. Of the 56 people who live in the home 28 are working, either as volunteers or on a paid basis. Jobs include work in catering, retail, and packing, and are both on and offsite. This is an excellent outcome for the people who live in the home as it provides Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 29 Evidence: them with the opportunity to gain work experience, and in many cases earn a wage and integrate into the wider community. Day services are provided on site for those who prefer a more sheltered environment. For example, the inspector visited the retirement group, attended by service users with dementia. They meet daily to socialize and take part in activities such as arts and crafts. The atmosphere was peaceful and the people taking part appeared to be happy and relaxed, and enjoying what they were doing. Daily routines within the home promote privacy, independence and choice. All service users have keys to their rooms and can choose whether to be alone or join in with others. They are encouraged and supported to cook for themselves, clean and do their own laundry. Support workers ensure privacy by knocking on doors and waiting to be invited in. The people who live at CARE Shangton are encouraged to maintain contact with their family and Friends. Visitors are welcome at the home at any time and have the opportunity to take part in social events and other activities. A healthy balanced diet is provided. The main meal of the day is served in the central dining area which operates like a canteen, and all other meals are prepared and eaten in the individual cottages and flats. Service users are encouraged to plan and prepare their own meals and mealtimes are relaxed, flexible and unrushed. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 29 Personal and healthcare support These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is good. The people who live in the home have their personal and health care needs met in the way they want by staff in the home. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards 18, 19 and 20 were inspected. Evidence: The people who live in the home are encouraged to be as independent as possible and are supported to care for themselves. For those less able, support and guidance is offered in a sensitive and flexible manner. Care plans provide the information staff need to provide appropriate help and support and alert them to individuals likes and dislikes. Records showed that the people who live in the home use healthcare services, for example GPs, opticians and dentists, where necessary. When extra support is needed, specialist healthcare professions, for example community psychiatric and learning disability nurses, are involved. This helps to ensure the people who live in the home Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 29 Evidence: get the support they need during times of change or crisis. Since the last inspection the people who live in the home have been issued with Keep Safe cards. These are a NHS and Valuing People (the Governments plan for making the lives of people with learning disabilities, their families and carers better) initiative. The Keep Safe card contains essential information about the person who carries it and is designed for use when they go out and about on their own. The people who live in the home are encouraged to make informed decisions about their medical care. For example, flu jabs were recently provided to everyone who wanted one. However ten residents chose not to have them and their wishes were respected. The people who live in the home are encouraged, as far as possible, to become responsible for their own medication. Records showed that when they do this they are well-supported by staff. Other residents have their medication administered by staff with a view to becoming more independent in the future. Only senior staff give out medication and they have been properly trained to ensure they do this safely. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 29 Concerns, complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is good. Staff know how to safeguard the people who live in the home and help them express any concerns they might have. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards 22 and 23 were inspected. Evidence: There is a climate of openness at CARE Shangton and the people who live there are encouraged to speak out if there is anything they are unhappy about. Each service user has a circle of support, a group of significant others who support them. This means that more than one person is overseeing their care and helping to keep them safe. A complaints procedure is in place and all service users and their representatives are given a copy. It is produced in a pictorial format to make it more accessible. There has been one complaint about the home since the last inspection. This was dealt with by the Owning Body, with both CSCI and Social Services kept informed of the investigation and its outcome. Since the last inspection the home has been involved in an anti-bullying initiative in Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 29 Evidence: conjunction with community policemen and women. Anti-bullying workshops have been held and awareness raised amongst service users about the effects of bullying and what to do if it happens. Up to date policies and procedures are in place to help staff safeguard the people who live in the home. In discussions staff knew what to do if they became concerned about the well being of any of the people who live there. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 29 Environment These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is good. The home is community-based, comfortable, and well maintained. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards 24 and 30 were inspected. Evidence: The people who live at CARE Shangton are accommodated in one of five cottages, or three flats. This enables them to live in small family groups, or on their own, if they prefer this. During the inspection we looked round one of the cottages. The environment was homely with a large, comfortable lounge/dining room at its centre. Bedrooms were individually decorated and personalized, reflecting the hobbies and interests of the occupants. The Manager told us that as the service users are locating to new accommodation within the next five years, no substantial changes or improvements to the premises are being planned. However ongoing maintenance and redecoration will continue to ensure the accommodation remains of a good standard while people are still living there. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 29 Evidence: Since the last inspection one of the flats has been refurbished and improved to make it more accessible to people with limited mobility. All the areas we inspected were clean, tidy and well-maintained. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 29 Staffing These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent, qualified staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable. People’s needs are met and they are supported because staff get the right training, supervision and support they need from their managers. People are supported by an effective staff team who understand and do what is expected of them. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. The people who live in the home have their needs met by friendly and professional staff. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Standards 32, 34 and 35 were inspected. Evidence: Staff have excellent relationships with the people who live in the home. They were observed interacting with service users in a warm and positive manner, taking an interest in them, and showing genuine appreciation of them as unique individuals. Every member of staff we met was enthusiastic about working at the home and knowledgeable about the service users they care for. The home is well staffed and this helps to ensure the people who live there have the care and attention they need. The Manager told us that in addition to the core staff team, two extra full-time members of staff are employed on a floating basis to provide cover where it is needed. This minimizes the use of agency staff and helps to ensure that service users are only cared for by people they already know. A thorough Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 29 Evidence: recruitment procedure is in place, application forms are completed, references are collected and CRBs (Criminal Records Bureau) and POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) checks obtained. The people who live in the home are involved when new staff are recruited, and their views are taken into account. Staff receive good training opportunities. A comprehensive induction followed by NVQs (National Vocational Qualifications) and short courses provide staff with the skills and knowledge they need to care effectively for the people who live in the home. Regular staff meetings and supervision sessions help to ensure that staff have the support they need to carryout their duties. One staff member told us,The management are very approachable and I feel supported in my role. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 24 of 29 Conduct and management of the home These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is run and managed appropriately. People’s opinions are central to how the home develops and reviews their practice, as the home has appropriate ways of making sure they continue to get things right. The environment is safe for people and staff because health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately, with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. They are safeguarded because the home follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and makes sure staff understand the way things should be done. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. The people who live in the home have their needs met by friendly and professional staff. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Standards 32, 34 and 35 were inspected. Evidence: The homes Registered Manager is well-qualified and has substantial experience in care. Since the last inspection she has taken on the role of Regional Manager for the company who owns CARE Shangton. Although busy, she continues to stay in touch with the people who live int home and ensure their interests are put first. She maintains an open door policy and during the inspection a number of service users dropped into her office for a chat and to see what was going on. The focus in the home at the moment is on change and planning for the future when the people who live at CARE Shangton will be relocated. The Manager told us that in Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 25 of 29 Evidence: response to service user feedback the way information is shared has been changed. Large meetings are no longer held as service users said they found these confrontational and stressful, instead they are kept up to date at small group meetings or on a one to one basis. People First, an advocacy group for people with learning disabilities, come to the home once a month to liaise with the people who live there and represent them where necessary. A steering group has been set up to oversee the future of CARE Shangton and service users, their relatives and representatives, and other interested parties attend meetings every two months to look at the sort of accommodation the people who live in the home would like to move into when CARE Shangton disperses. Service users general views about the home are collected annually when a pictorial survey is issued to them. They fill this in themselves, or with the assistance of someone from their circle of support. This helps to ensure they have the help they need to get their views across. Policies and procedures for the health, safety and welfare of the residents are in place and all support workers are made aware of these during the induction process.
