JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standard 2 was assessed at this inspection. Quality in this outcome area is good. The process for assessing the needs of prospective service users is good. EVIDENCE: Only one service user has been introduce to the home in the past year. Following an initial assessment and a trial period it was decided that the home was not an appropriate placement. The inspector was told that this decision could be reviewed if the behaviours of the person referred changed. The homes, referral policy and procedure was seen by the inspector the process includes prospective service users visiting the home on several occasions including an overnight stay prior to moving in. The referral information collated during this time includes the service users medical condition and issues related to culture, religion and ethnicity as well as practical issues such as finances, food preferences, activities and medication. All placements are offered on a trail basis. There are some service users living at Cloudsley Road whose behaviours affect other residents. This is usually related to noise. A requirement was made at the last inspection in respect of one service user complaining about the noise made by another. Records show that this situation has been discussed with both service users and alternative rooms have been offered. The service user making the complaint has declined the offer to move to another room and prefers to discuss the situation with staff as and when it re-occurs.

Any restrictions on choice are discussed and agreed with the service user at the initial referral and reviewed at the care planning stages of the placement. Files tracked show that in house reviews are held six monthly but these are not up to date in all cases. There is some confusion between in house reviews and placing authority reviews and how these are recorded. The inspector recommends that the reviewing procedure is discussed between all of the relevant professionals and the in house review and those held with the placing authority and relevant professional be joined together to clearly reflect the service users needs and choices with a system in place for recording the minutes, with decisions and outcomes. As described in standard 6.10. Cloudesley Road (92) DS0000020971.V287287.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Evidence shows that service users discuss choices and decisions about daily activities regularly with key workers and the homes manager. At present one service user is being supported to work towards living independently in the community. It is clear from the documentation that this person does not want to move on and their views are well documented on the file. The situation is under regular review with the relevant professionals.

The three files seen show that risks are discussed with service users and are reviewed at care planning meetings or sooner if necessary.

Cloudesley Road (92) DS0000020971.V287287.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm.

One service user who walk into other people’s rooms without invitation and left the toilet door open when using the facilities has been moved to more appropriate accommodation. The second is particularly noisy and has kept people awake at night. The manager has discussed the problem of noise with the service user and the complainant. The person who has made the complaints has been offered another room but has declined the offer and instead has opted to talk to staff if and when it becomes noisy in his room. An action plan related to the noise has been agreed. There have been no further complaints since January 2006. The service user who made the complaints was at work at the time of the inspection so it was not possible to speak with him. This issue will be reviewed again at the next inspection. The homes policy and procedure related to service user money has been reviewed within the last year. There are clear guidelines to follow and these were well known to the staff that spoke with the inspector. The home has an adult protection policy and procedure which is in need of review members of staff are able to demonstrate that they are aware of the Cloudesley Road (92) DS0000020971.V287287.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 policy and how to deal with an allegation of abuse should one be made at the home. There have been no allegations related to adult protection since the last inspection. Cloudesley Road (92) DS0000020971.V287287.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 24 and 30 were assessed at this inspection. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. Service users live in a homely environment with sufficient facilities to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: Two major problems have arisen at this home since the last inspection. The home has a water leak, which is affecting the electrics on the top floor and is severely damaging the wall. In spite of every effort being made to ensure this problem is dealt with as soon as possible the cause of the problem has not yet been found. The electrical wiring has been made safe. The inspector was shown evidence of ongoing work to find the cause of the problem. The second problem is that of bed bugs these have been found in service users rooms and the house has been fumigated however since the fumigation more bugs have been seen. It is possible that this is because a service user refused to let the Pest Control people into her room. The process will now be repeated and will include all affected rooms. The Pest Control firm who are dealing with the problem, are of the opinion that the bugs have been brought into the unit on second hand items bought locally. The manager has been asked to seek an inspection of the home by the environmental health service and to ensure that a copy of the report is sent to the Commission for Social Care Inspection. Cloudesley Road (92) DS0000020971.V287287.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Records show that the manager has done everything possible to deal with these problems efficiently and as quickly as possible. The inspector saw two rooms during the tour of the building one occupied and one empty. Both rooms were of a good size and were adequately decorated. The home is in general clean and tidy throughout. There were some areas such as the basement bathroom and the laundry room, which were in need of cleaning.
