This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was a positive unannounced inspection, the feedback received mostly from staff was excellent and the standard of support and practices observed was good. The majority of the service users were out of the home attending day care centres and engaged in community activities. There was a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere in the home and despite the absence of the manager on the day, staff were very organised and were busy with the routine of the day in supporting the service users in participating in outdoor activities. The staff should be commended for their dedication and professionalism in meeting the needs of the service users. Each service user had a structured plan of activities for the day. Care plans were well documented and updated to reflect the changing needs of service users. The senior staff on duty and management of the home was noted to be planning and delivering care in a smooth and professional manner. However, the management of medicines must be monitored to ensure that no overstocking takes place. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The home has complied with the requirements and recommendations of the last inspection in ensuring that a robust system for the management of service users personal allowances is devised, implemented and monitored. There has been some improvement in the management and administration of medicines. Fires doors have been fitted with safe hold open devices to comply with the Fire Safety Regulations.

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users’ know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1-5 Adequate information was available to current and prospective service users and their families. Assessments of needs were carried out to ensure that staff have sufficient information on each person’s needs before they move into the home. EVIDENCE: The home has a satisfactory ‘Statement of Purpose’ and ‘Service User’s Guide’ which contains all of the information required by this Standard. A copy of the guide was given to each service user and is kept in their bedrooms. The home provides services for people with learning and physical disabilities who also have sensory impairments. The majority of the members of staff have many years of experience in working with people with learning disabilities and the manager is also a registered nurse in this field of care. Relevant training and courses were being facilitated and attended by staff (except those recommended in Standards 23 & 35). The home has an admissions policy. Admissions are planned and agreed by a multi-disciplinary team including the service user/relatives or representatives. The home does not provide emergency admissions. 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 Each service user has a contract with the Terms and Conditions of occupancy, including amount of fees charged, rooms occupied, support facilities and the rights and responsibilities of both parties. Service users are supported by their families in the decision making process about the offer of a placement. 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices
The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. 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 standard(s) 6-10 Care plans were detailed and comprehensive. These were ‘person centred’ and included information on all assessed health care needs, social needs and risk assessments were carried out with regular reviews undertaken. Good interaction between staff and service users was noted. Service users were treated with respect and assisted to make choices about their lives and to participate in community activities wherever possible. EVIDENCE: Each service user has a care plan generated from the Care Management Assessment and the homes own assessment, which covers all aspects of personal and social support, and healthcare needs. The home carries out an annual review of each service user’s care plan with the involvement of the service user, their relatives and other professionals involved in their care. Care plans were also reviewed at least every 6 months and updated to reflect any changing needs. The home provides service users with assistance and support as far as it is practical in helping them to make a decision or choose, but it was acknowledged that service users were generally unable to decide for themselves due to severe learning difficulties and difficulties in communication.
1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Each service user has their own bank account and the home has a system for any cash withdrawal. These were signed by two authorised personnel. Each service user also has a cash box (money tin) where money, receipts and records of expenditures were kept. All service users are registered on the electoral roll but are unable to vote. Macintyre Care has appointeeship status for some of the service users. Staff escort service users to any outdoor activities i.e. day centres, shopping, outings, holidays and attending appointments. The home has not had any incident of unexplained absences by service users. There was a ‘missing persons’ procedure for staff to follow in th event of such emergency. Individual records were kept securely in the office of each bungalow. 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 Lifestyle
The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11-17 Service users were encouraged to make choices in relation to their food, clothes and activities to optimise their abilities in developing their skills. They were also encouraged and supported to pursue social and leisure activities as stated in their individual care plan but required supervision by staff at all times. It was recommended that individual service users weight should be checked and monitored on a regular basis so that an accurate picture can be maintained of someones health. EVIDENCE: Service users attend the ‘Butterwick’ day centre at different times of the day as per their individual activity programme. All other social activities attended by services users were planned and organised by the staff and recorded in their care plans. These included visits to local places of interest, parks, cafés, shopping, theatres etc. At present, one of the service users receives input from two staff from ‘Life Enhances Agency’ to enable the service user to participate in community activities. Staff enable service users to engage in other activities as much as possible, both indoors and outdoors. The home has 3 vehicles which they share with the other two bungalows.
1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 Annual holidays including short breaks were organised by staff. There were a variety of activities provided in the home which included watching videos, relaxing in the sensory room, playing board games, water play etc. It was noted that staff were interacting with the service users in an appropriate manner, with respect and courtesy. The home has a no smoking policy. The home has a four weekly rotational menu. Meals were offered three times daily and the main cooked meal is in the evening. Service users were offered a choice of suitable menus, which meet their dietary needs and individual preferences. They were able to choose where and when to eat, whether to eat alone or with others including staff but they need to be supervised. Some of them also required assistance with their meals. It was noted that the dietician visits the home on a regular basis to provide advice on nutrition. However, individual service users weight was not checked and monitored on a regular basis. This is a useful record to indicate someones overall health. 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support
The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18-21 Staff assist service users to attend to their personal care and treat them with sensitivity and respect. There was good record keeping of service users health care needs. However, regular audits of medicines must be carried out to prevent any over stocking. EVIDENCE: Personal care and support were provided to service users in the privacy of their bedroom. Staff support service users to choose their own clothes, hairstyle, makeup and their appearance reflects their individual personality. The home operates a flexible time for service users to retire to bed and to get up in the morning. Staff confirmed that service users have a lie in when they do not have to attend to the day centre and at weekends. Additional specialist support and advice was provided as needed from a physiotherapist, speech therapist and other professionals. The home has a key worker system and all service users have a care manager. Each service user receives an annual health check and those who suffer from epilepsy have a 6 monthly check carried out at the epilepsy clinic from Community Learning Disability Team (CLDT). 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 The home uses the Monitored Dosage System (MDS) and medicines were dispensed in blister packs by ‘Boots’ chemist. Registered nurses administer and have access to service users medication. Currently there are no service users who are abel to self medicate. The home keeps a record of all medicines received and administered in the MAR sheets. Medication returned for disposal was countersigned by the pharmacist. There was no controlled drugs currently in use. Staff confirmed that they seek information and advice from ‘Boots’ pharmacist regarding information on specific medicines and policies within the home. However, it was noted that there was a large stock of unused medicines, which were accumulated over a period of time. The home has a policy on how staff should deal with the ageing, illness and death of a service user. 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 22-23 Service users were encouraged and enabled to make their views and concerns known. The home has a complaints procedure and staff were aware of. However, it was difficult to ascertain whether any of the service users know about this policy. Thus, they are dependent on the caring staff who would observe for any unusual behaviour being exhibited by service users. Training in ‘Protection of Vulnerable Adults’ should be provided to all staff. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints procedure in a booklet format for service users, which states that all complaints are acknowledged within 3 days and fully investigated and responded to within 21 days. Neither the home nor the CSCI have received any complaint since the last inspection. The home has a ‘Whistle Blowing’ policy in place to ensure the safety and protection of service users (including passing on concerns to the CSCI), in accordance with the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 and Department of Health Guidance No Secrets. The home also has a policy on physical intervention and restraint. Staff spoken to during the inspection were aware of the contents of these policies. However, they have not attended the training in Protection of Vulnerable Adults. 1 & 2 Crosby Close I52 s19317 crosby close v233648 220605 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Environment
