Conditions of registration: Date of last inspection 6 February 2006 Brief Description of the Service: Hazel View is one of the three original outlying houses within the Purley Park Trust, and is now one of eight separate small units within the estate. There are communal facilities, including a club house and horticultural facilities. Purley Park is in a residential area close to Purley and a mini bus is available for local transportation. The unit accommodates five adults of either gender, with a learning disability, in a pleasant unit providing each service user with their own bedroom. Communal accommodation consists of a shared lounge/kitchen/dining area, with comfortable furnishings, toilets and a bathroom. One service user has an en suite. Residents and staff work together on various aspects of the day-to-day running of the home. Hazel View has an appropriate equal opportunities policy and their policies and procedures reflect their desire to meet all individual service users’ needs. Fees vary depending on the level of care being received and currently range from £612 to £769 per week. Hazel View is home to at least one service user over retirement age. Therefore the key national minimum standards relating to care homes for older people have been cross-referenced in this report. Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The Commission has, since the 1st April 2006, developed the way it undertakes its inspection of care services. This inspection of the service was an unannounced ‘Key Inspection’. It was a thorough look at how well the service is doing. It took account of information received from the service provider prior to the site visit which occurred on 29 December 2006. During this visit the inspector examined policies and procedures, looked at care records and staff records. Two staff were spoken with. All service users were spoken with and one completed questionnaires from a relative provided information in advance of the site visit. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

EVIDENCE: Service users’ lifestyle plans are detailed and appropriate. They are prepared with service users. Very detailed risk assessments are in place and risk management plans which are reviewed as required or six monthly. Observations of care and discussions with staff and service users showed service users are encouraged to make choices about their lives, lifestyles and activities. From what time they get up and go to bed, to clothing, food and participation in both structured and non-structured activities. However, this is sometimes limited due to there often being only one member of staff on duty.
Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 If the member of staff on duty has to take a service user to an appointment this will limit the opportunity to take other service user out. Staff are aware of this and staff from neighbouring homes provide assistance if available. Service users have open access to the other homes and facilities of the site at all times.

The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 (Adults 1865) and Standards 10, 12, 13 and 15 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 (adults 18-65) Quality in this outcome are is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Service users are able to take part in appropriate activities and they are part of the local community. Service users enjoy appropriate relationships, have their rights and responsibilities respected and recognised and enjoy their meals and meal times. EVIDENCE: It was apparent during the site visit that Hazel View is very much the service users’ home. In discussions with staff it was apparent that relationships with families and friends are encouraged and that staff have an appropriate understanding of the balance between respecting peoples’ privacy and protecting people. Discussions with staff on the day provided evidence that service users are encouraged to maintain relationships with families and friends. Visitors are welcomed in to Hazel View. This was supported by the relative’s questionnaire received. Activity schedules are maintained for service users and these contain a combination of on site activities held at the clubhouse on site, and off site activities such as Bible studies and activities at Purley Working Men’s Club. Staffing levels, whilst adequate to meet service users needs, may limit the ability for service users to engage in ad hoc off site activities. Planned activities are not compromised. The team leader informed that meal planning, shopping and cooking is done with service users. Observed service users at lunch time, some helped with preparation, laying table etc. No formal rota exists for these tasks. Service users enjoyed their lunch. Those needing it were encouraged to eat and allowed space to do so. Ad hoc cooking activities include cake making. Other ad hoc activities include crafts such as card and bead making. Activities are reviewed as part of service users’ six monthly reviews. Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support

The Commission considers Standards 18, 19 and 20 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 8, 9 and 10 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20. (Adults 18 to 65) Quality in this outcome are is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users receive support in the way they prefer and their health needs are appropriately met. Whilst medication is appropriately managed, the system of sharing trained staff between different homes on the site is not ideal. EVIDENCE: The person in charge was made aware that they do not have the most up to date policies and procedures and they will address this. This was not seen to have any adverse affect on the level of care and outcomes for service users. Staff spoken with and care observed confirmed service users make decisions in the way in which they receive personal support. For example choice over timings to get up or take showers and how much assistance is required. Hazel
Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 View is very much the service users’ home and they choose how they spent their time and with whom they socialise. Medication and health records are up to date on service user records. Staff confirmed service users can see medical practitioners privately or in the presence of a staff member to assist communication. Not all staff have received medication training and are therefore dependent on assistance from staff in other homes at Purley Park to assist with medication. Staff indicated this can sometimes be problematic if no one on shift is appropriately trained or if only one carer is present, as they must then phone around other homes on the site to “borrow” appropriately trained staff who may not be available immediately. Medication is appropriately stored and all individually prescribed. MARs sheets are completed appropriately. Arrangements for end of life care are not recorded on service user files. This was discussed with the person in charge who will look at appropriate ways to record wishes and provide this care.

(OP NMS 16) Service users’ are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. Service users legal rights are protected. (OP NMS 17) Also Service users are protected from abuse. (OP NMS 18) Also Service users financial interests are safeguarded. (OP NMS 35) The Commission considers Standards 22-23 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 16-18 and 35 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23 (Adults 18 to 65) Quality in this outcome are is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users’ views or complaints are listened to and they are protected from abuse. EVIDENCE: It was pointed out to the person in charge that they may not have the up to date policies relating to this outcome area as more recent ones had been seen by the inspector when inspecting another home at Purley Park recently. The person in charge agreed to address this urgently. This did not appear to affect outcomes for service users as all staff spoken with were aware of appropriate procedures regarding the protection of vulnerable adults and whistle blowing and confirmed they had recently had training in this area. No information on complaints has been received by the commission since the previous inspection. The complaints log was reviewed and showed one recent complaint which had been dealt with appropriately. However it was recommended to the person in charge that they routinely record the outcome of complaints and the date it is resolved.

Staff confirmed they had received appropriate induction and this was substantiated in staff records.
Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Training records are maintained for individual staff and individual training needs and personal development is recorded. A training plan is in place. Staff appeared to be well trained. All appropriate recruitment records are in place except that a full employment history, with an explanation of gaps is not always recorded. This was taken up with the responsible individual at a recent inspection of another home within Purley Park and is being addressed. Staff indicated the number of them on duty is sometimes an issue for service users as it may limit their ad hoc activities. Service users are left alone in the house if the member of staff on duty has to take an individual service user to an appointment and between 9.30 at night and 7.00 or 7.30 in the morning. The inspector discussed with the person in charge the risk to service users and risk assessments are in place for all service users regarding being left alone, including fire risk assessments, and staff confirmed that night staff from another home in Purley Park do check service users late in the evening. The person in charge explained that there are plans to re build Hazel View and this will include accommodation for a staff member to sleep over at night. In the meantime the situation is regularly reviewed. Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home

The Commission considers Standards 37, 39 and 42 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 and 42 (adults 18 to 65) Quality in this outcome are is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users benefit from a well run home. However, improvements to written quality monitoring procedures will benefit service users. Their health and safety is promoted.
Hazel View DS0000011171.V323159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 EVIDENCE: The person in charge has completed her NVQ level 4 and recently submitted her application for registration to CSCI. The home does not have an office for confidential work. This is planned to be addressed in the re build and in the mean time office space in the administrative centre can be used for confidential meetings. Progress has been made towards the requirements made in the last inspection report regarding quality assurance. The person in charge is working with a steering group of managers from across Purley Park to review quality assurance formats including developing questionnaires for service users and relatives in easy to read formats. Because the home is small and staff obviously know service users very well the lack of formal quality assurance procedures does not detract from the quality of care experienced by service users, but formalised measures are necessary to evaluate performance and plan developments effectively. Health and safety procedures are in place within the home and staff spoken with confirmed they had received training in health and safety, including food hygiene, first aid, manual handling, infection control and fire safety.
