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 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care planning systems provide staff with the necessary information to ensure the assessed needs of service users is met.

Review minutes were also available on the file of the other person case tracked and evidence that the service user, family, placing authority and significant others attended the meeting, which was held wt the home. Since the last inspection staff have attended Person Centred Planning (PCP) Awareness training with the local team based at Pond Lane, however PCP’s have yet to be developed with the people accommodated. It was identified Hilton Road DS0000037693.V296549.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 that the behaviours displayed by one individual are currently challenging the service and although the Intensive support Team from the placing authority are supporting the home, the staff are still awaiting for a behaviour management plan to be developed. Discussions held with managers indicate that the support needs have been discussed with the local psychology team who may offer assistance. Incidents are being recorded however managers are concerned in relation to staff lone working and there not being a management plan yet made available. It was reported that one person accesses an advocacy service provided through his day service. The managers stated that they have requested an advocacy service however this is not forthcoming in the area.

The manager was advised to discuss and record people’s likes and dislikes with the people living at the home. Discussions held with the service user present and manager evidence the families play an active role in the lives of their relatives and represent their interests. Service users are also provided with designated key workers. Various risk assessments seen on files evidence that people are enabled to take responsible risks, which are regularly reviewed and updated. Hilton Road DS0000037693.V296549.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

They are supported to keep in contact with their families and friends and offered a diet respecting their individual preferences and dietary needs. EVIDENCE: Two people living at the home access local authority day service provision five days per week. It was reported that one person attends a work scheme through the day service and receives payment for this. An appropriate day service was sourced for the person admitted to the home last July and the person was supported with a trial visit, which proved unsuccessful. Therefore the person remains at home and is supported on a 1:1 basis throughout the week. A record of activities undertaken is maintained. Discussions held with the person present and records seen evidence that service users are provided with Hilton Road DS0000037693.V296549.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 opportunities to access their local community on a regular basis with day services and the home. Family links are well established and people are supported to maintain contact through telephone calls and visits. A record of all contact made was available on the files reviewed. The service user present during the inspection reported that her relatives had visited her the day before and taken her out for a meal to celebrate her birthday and purchased a cake. She said that her family visit her a lot and also attend meetings held at the home. It is evident that she very much enjoys the contact with her family. She also reported that she also visits a local home owned by the organisation and made friends with the people living there. Service users may see their visitors in the shared space provided or in the privacy of their own room. A log of all visitors to the home is recorded in the homes diary. Preferred routines were documented on the files reviewed and service users are supported with basic housekeeping tasks as much as possible according to their ability and have unrestricted access to the home. Observations made and discussions held with the service user present and managers evidence that service users rights are respected and upheld and that people may choose when to be alone or in the company of others. A requirement was made at the previous inspection that bedrooms be fitted with a suitable locking device and service users offered a key to their bedroom unless a risk assessment states otherwise. Managers reported that they had discussed this with service users and sent a letter to relatives which were seen on file with the response being that people are not in support of this. However should a new admission take place in the future the home must make this facility available. It was recommended as a result of the previous inspection that food consumed be closely monitored to ensure service users are being provided with varied and balanced diet. A record of all food consumed is maintained by the staff on duty and a menu is available. The service user present reported that she can choose what food she wants to eat and where she wants to eat her meals which was evidenced during the inspection.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24,26 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate.

EVIDENCE: Three requirements were made as a result of the previous inspection that the home must be well maintained, for bedrooms to include furniture as required under NMS 26.2. and that furniture and fittings provided must be of a good quality and fulfil their purpose. A programme of maintenance is in place and identifies the work carried out by the home however it does not provide a schedule for future planning. A full tour of the environment was undertaken accompanied by the registered manager and although the home provides a comfortable place to live, many areas of the home and some soft furnishings appear tired and in need of upgrading. A new dining room suite has been purchased since the last inspection. The service users spoken with said that she would like her bedroom to be redecorated and a new carpet fitted.
