What the care home does well

Homeleigh provides a relaxed and stable environment for up to 16 people with enduring mental health problems. There is an experienced and friendly staff team many of whom have worked in the home for many years. Service users are able to live a relaxed life choosing how to spend their days, although over recent times a greater emphasis has been placed on encouraging residents to become involved and experience more activities. The home maintains medication processes well and health and safety information and records are kept up to date. The home is clean and hygienic. Residents stated that "the food is good" and "the staff are helpful and friendly" and that "there is a nice atmosphere".

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has continued to improve over the past number of inspections. This process remains on going and more notable improvements have been acknowledged during this inspection process. Amongst those developments are progress in respect of training for staff. All staff are now have up to date mandatory training and other courses including adult protection and mental health awareness. Staff have also continued to work towards NVQ training with two staff members having completed their level 2 qualifications and now have enrolled on level 3 training. Activities within the home have continued to be developed and a holiday for a number of residents has been organised supported by staff. Improvements have continued in respect of quality assurance processes including service user satisfaction questionnaires, although further progress is still to be made in this area.

What the care home could do better:

1 requirement and 4 recommendations have been made as a result of this inspection. The majority of the service users have lived in the home for many years and have now reached or passed the age of 65. The responsible individual needs to ensure that a variation to the registration is completed to enable the service to continue to accommodate these individuals and that the home can continue to meet their needs. Amongst the recommendations is some additional work to develop the action plans for service user plans and risk assessments to ensure staff are provided with adequate guidance. Additionally further work is required to develop robust quality assurance processes including monthly monitoring by the responsible individual. The registered manager also needs to continue to work towards his NVQ level 4/RMA.

The home ensures it can meet individual needs, although the majority of service users are now over the age of 65. Referred individuals have the opportunity to visit and spend time in the home. All service users are provided with a statement of terms and conditions. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: There is an updated statement of purpose and service users guide available in the home. Both of these documents contain all relevant and sufficient information in adequate detail. A copy of the service users guide is kept in each bedroom and the statement of purpose is readily available on request. All prospective service users are provided with a copy of the service users guide on referral. A number of service user files were viewed demonstrating that adequate information is provided regarding prospective service users at the point of referral to the home. Evidence was available showing that recent referrals had only been admitted following adequate assessment processes. Copies of Care Programme Approach care plans and assessments are provided by care managers at the request of the service as well as other relevant background history. The home has developed a satisfactory assessment tool covering the Homeleigh DS0000023280.V305398.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 key areas of need, which is routinely completed for all new and prospective residents. There is an experienced staff team many of whom have worked in the home in excess of 10 years. The home has made good progress with regards to staff training and developing competency levels through NVQ training. Good links have been established with local community mental health teams and other community healthcare services. Information is also available regarding advocacy services. The majority of the service users have now lived in the home for many years and have now exceeded the age of 65 years old. This is a situation that needs to be addressed by the responsible individual and a variation to the registration is required. It was reported by the registered manager that most referrals now received to the service are also for people who are over the age of 65. Refer to requirement 1. Prospective service users have the opportunity to visit the home on a trial basis before deciding whether to move in.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home has completed some positive work in improving, redeveloping and reviewing service user plans. A clear plan based on assessed needs has been developed for all service users. A number of these plans were viewed at random, all of which addressed care and support needs relevant to the individual. However, it was discussed with the deputy manager that the actions to enable staff to meet service user’s needs could be developed further to ensure that clear guidance is in place. Refer to recommendation 1. Similarly, risk assessments have also been improved over a period of time, but in the same regard further attention needs to be given to the actions to minimise Homeleigh DS0000023280.V305398.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 perceived risks. Refer to recommendation 2. All service user plans and risk assessments are reviewed every 6 months or in response to changing needs. Discussions were held with a number of the service users who confirmed that they feel they have over their day-to-day lives. One resident said that “I enjoy living here and I can come and go when I want”. Some restrictions are in place for health and safety reasons, such as no smoking in bedrooms.

There is a courtyard garden to the rear of the property, which is being made more functional and attractive. The home has had quotes for the resurfacing of the courtyard, however due to the changing needs of the service users this work is no longer a necessity and the remedial work discussed with the registered manager should prove satisfactory. Homeleigh DS0000023280.V305398.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 During the visit the home was seen to be clean and hygienic throughout. Laundry facilities are suitable for the needs of the home and meet all relevant specifications. Hazardous substances (COSHH) were safely and securely stored.

There is also evidence of on-going improvement in a number of areas including the environment, training, employment practices and record keeping. In addition to this service user satisfaction questionnaires have recently been completed. It is important following this exercise to ensure that all the feedback is collated and any action points addressed. Also monthly monitoring visits need to be completed by the responsible individual or nominated representative and a record of issues covered retained on site and sent to the commission in the form of a monitoring report. It was discussed that there are plans to appoint a quality assurance manager to address these issues. Refer to recommendation 4. All health and safety records and documentation were up to date and well maintained. Accident and fire logs were in place and all other service and maintenance checks were within date and completed. Environmental risk assessments have been updated and safe working practices are ensured including all necessary training for the staff team. It was reported that service complies with relevant health and safety legislation.
