This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was unannounced, started at 10.00 am and took place over five and a half hours. At the time of the inspection there were 8 people resident within the two houses, however not all were in the building as some of the service users were on home visits. The inspector spoke with four members of staff including the team leader on duty for 12 Falkner Square. All the people living at the home have either Autism or Aspergers and therefore have specific communication needs making discussion with these individuals limited. The team leader of 11 Falkner Square was not present. Care plans, Risk assessments, health records, activity plans and some of the written policies were viewed. Comment cards were issued prior to this inspection with three being received back from both relatives and service users. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The unit manager’s post has been advertised with interviews planned to take place within weeks of this inspection. Some of the environmental issues raised at the last inspection have been dealt with and plans for carpet replacement and redecoration are in place to commence on the 8/03/06. Training has been planned on respect of the protection of vulnerable adults and positive intervention.

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 the following standard(s): None of the above standards were inspected at this visit EVIDENCE: Falkner Square (11/12) DS0000025344.V283367.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 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 the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9 Individual care plans and are reviewed People are supported to make decisions and risks are assessed and managed in such a way as to maximise independence. EVIDENCE: Each person has a named key worker. An individual care plan with each area identified having a support plan, detailing the practical support required is in place. These had recently been reviewed and staff confirmed that the organisation’s policy is to review each support plan at least every six months. The team manager explained that there would be an annual review with the family and social worker, which will consider long-term goals and future plans. The internal monthly reviews provide good opportunities for any changes and practical needs to be addressed. The organisation has a written policy regarding service user rights, which includes the right to be consulted and to make decisions. Decision-making and how individuals make choices are addressed within the care plans. Regular meetings are held for the people living on 11 Falkner, where views and opinions can be shared, however this approach is not suitable for the people living on 12 Falkner due to their socialisation and communication needs. Any limitations or restrictions are
Falkner Square (11/12) DS0000025344.V283367.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 agreed via the care planning process, made only in the person’s best interests and follow a risk assessment process. From discussions with staff working at the home and comments made on comment cards by service users it is clear that choice and decision-making are supported, such as choosing holidays, activities and decoration within the home. Risk assessment and risk management are addressed within each care plan, with specific guidance provided for staff. The file for one person shows that guidance is in place regarding one gentleman going out, with specific advice in respect of his behaviour and mental health difficulties and the need for increased support in this area whilst his confidence is regained. Staff clearly balance the need for independence with the need for safety, as reflected in the individual arrangements for the different people living at the home. One relative via a comment card said, “I am generally very impressed with the level of care”. Falkner Square (11/12) DS0000025344.V283367.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 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 the following standard(s): 12, 13, 15 and 17 Individuals are involved in a range of meaningful activities, including household activities, which promote personal growth and independence. EVIDENCE: The people living at the home have complex needs, including specific communication needs and challenging behaviour, which limit opportunities for employment. However, two of the gentleman attend a workshop and plant nursery, where they are supported to develop work related skills. Individuals are involved in a range of appropriate activities and staff work hard to help people to grow and develop skills. Set activities include college attendance, horse riding and visits to local cafes or pubs in the area. The daily handover sheets show which staff member is supporting each person with set activities, such as college attendance. Each person also has a weekly chart, which is completed with the individual on a Sunday detailing household tasks and pre-arranged activities for that week. Records show that individuals are supported to access a range of community facilities. On the day of this inspection there were several of the people engaged in planned activities or on home visits. The home has its own vehicle provided by the organisation. The
Falkner Square (11/12) DS0000025344.V283367.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 rotas show that there are generally sufficient staff on duty each day, to enable individual activities to take place. Some people require the support of two staff for certain activities. Some of the people currently living at the home can display difficult and challenging behaviour, which limits the occasions they can access the community and can place staff in difficult situations whilst support is being given in a community setting. The health and welfare of staff in these situations was discussed with the Team Leader. The inspector suggested that the staff should carry contact cards that could be issued to members of the community should they be effected by a service users behaviour to ensure that a situation can be effectively diffused without staff being at risk. She advised that this was something that the organisation had done in the past and would be worth introducing again. Excellent support is provided to ensure that individuals are fully involved in the day-to-day routines of the home wherever possible, however this involvement is dependant on the persons mood. Staff have good guidance in place to advise when and how to approach people. One gentleman in the home is reluctant to take part in any form of activity during certain hours of the day and staff are slowly working with him to encourage him to break this very limiting habit. Good records are kept, with staff completing daily sheets, showing the level of involvement in activities such as, cooking, setting the table, doing laundry etc. All household activities are arranged around the needs of the people living at the home. Each file contains guidance and protocols for supporting individuals with household activities, such as cleaning bedrooms. Independence in daily routines is supported and actively promoted at all times and this was observed during the inspection. Staff have built up close working relationships with the people living at the home particularly on 12 Falkner where communication and social interaction is more difficult, and they promote choice and independence within their day-to-day work. There is a range of communal space within the home, which, allows for individuals to spend time alone, should they choose to do so. Most of the people currently living at Falkner Square need full support in keeping contact with friends and relatives, many of whom live a distance from the home. Records are kept of all contacts with family and friends, and each file contains a list of significant dates such as birthdays. One person is supported to visit his mother on a weekly basis and stays overnight. Some of the other people in the home also go home to visit relatives. One gentleman visited relatives abroad over Christmas with his father. Records also show that people have many opportunities to make new social contacts outside of the home. On the day of the inspection two relatives contacted the home via telephone and were given good detailed information about their relatives progress and one was assisted to arrange a visit to the home. One relative via a comment card said “The standard of care given and the progress made is excellent, they are an excellent team”, another commented “a well managed good team of staff, who work well together, my son is happy there”. Food preferences, likes and dislikes are recorded on care files. Staff clearly know the people at the home very well and are aware of their favourite foods
Falkner Square (11/12) DS0000025344.V283367.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 and dislikes. A member of staff explained the meal arrangements for the day and how people on 11 Falkner prepare there own meals and have free choice each person has a lockable cupboard for their own food. People on 12 Falkner generally share the same meal which is prepared by staff with help from the service users who are able, however there is always choice available for anyone who does not like the meal being prepared.

EVIDENCE: Some people living at the home require support with maintaining personal care. The staff have got to know individuals extremely well and understand their needs and preferences. Each person has a personal support assessment. Files show that individual protocols and guidance are in place, regarding such activities as bathing, shaving and teeth cleaning. Service users are supported to choose there own clothes wherever possible, everyone in the home was well dressed and well presented on the day of the inspection. Times for going to bed and getting up are flexible, according to the needs and preferences of each individual. A medical profile is completed for each person, providing details of past illnesses; allergies etc and staff sign to confirm that they have read this information. Staff keep good records of all health care appointments and outcomes. For one person this has included a recent medication review and specialist mental health support. There is good evidence that staff are working closely with the GP in relation to medication changes. There was evidence on one service users file of clinical psychology input in relation to a possible move
Falkner Square (11/12) DS0000025344.V283367.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 15 to a new care facility nearer to his hometown. The team leader advised that the organisation had a clinical team to give staff advice and support. There was evidence on files of psychology, language therapy and psychiatric support being accessed. A member of staff spoken to advised that the home has a good working relationship with a local dentist who understands the service users needs and limited toleration of procedures. There was clear evidence on files of optical and chiropody services being accessed on a regular basis.
