Conditions of registration: Date of last inspection 17th January 2006 Brief Description of the Service: 28 Hylton Bank is a care home for eight people who have a learning disability and who have autism or behaviours associated with an ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder). Cheviot Housing Association owns the building and Northumberland, Tyne and Wear NHS Trust lease the property and delivers the service. The service accommodates male and female service users between the ages of 18 and 55 years. At present there are 8 men and women living at the home all who have varying abilities. All have difficulty in understanding their environment or communicating their needs. Consequently all of the people living at Hylton Bank have the potential of exhibiting challenging behaviours. There are 8 bedrooms and each service user occupies a single room, which complies with the National Minimum Standards. The design of the house with a North and South side gives the appearance of two separate houses, each accommodating 4 people. An area, which includes the activity room, the laundry and staff sleep over room, connects the 2 sides. Service users have access to all parts of the house with the exception of other peoples bedrooms unless invited. It is the aim of the home to develop activities, including daily life skills that are designed to reduce anxiety while creating personal security for the individual. The rate of charges for receiving care in the home is £834.68 per week. Hylton Bank (28) DS0000015740.V313478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection was organised so that both 28 and 29 Hylton Bank could be inspected at the same time as the two homes are jointly managed and staffed. The inspection was commenced on 5 October 2006 over three separate visits and concluded with final feedback to the registered manager on the 11 October 2006. The inspection process involved observing the interaction between the staff and the service users and a tour of the premises. It also included discussions with the manager, staff and examining the relevant documents relating to the running of the home and the care. Before the date of the inspection, comments cards were sent to relatives to seek their views on the service. Four people responded to the questionnaires. Their comment were very positive and they all commended the quality of the service. What the service does well:
The home continues to deliver a high quality service to the service users providing care that is relevant to the individuals. The care practices in the home allow the service users to be supported in exercising choices and making independent decisions. The staff are highly motivated and offer a service that is consistent with the wishes of the service users. The service users have very active and fulfilling lifestyles. There is evidence of the service users engaging in social and recreational activities of their choice. These are set out in a special care plan called Time Table of Opportunities. This sets out the social, recreational and educational needs of each service user. Service users are supported to be involved in a wide range of social, recreational and educational activities. The staff play active role in preparing and supporting the service users to engage in these activities and also to maintain their independence and community participation. The home has two cars, which enable the service users to access community facilities. Service users are also encouraged to use public transport, and in doing so it provides them with the opportunity to engage with the general public. The staff have good understanding of the complex needs of the service users. Records show that volatile situations are always managed well and by that protect the safety and welfare of all those who live and work there. Hylton Bank (28) DS0000015740.V313478.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Staff receive good support and training from the organisation, which enable them to provide quality care to the service users. Of the current staff of 25, five have NVQ Level 3, 13 have NVQ Level 2 and 4 are currently undertaking the NVQ training. This training and support from the organisation has enhanced the care practices in the home, which promotes the welfare of the service users. Each service user has their own room and are furnished and equipped with personal items, which provide a sense of personal space for each service user. The home has good policies and procedures in place, which serve as reference documents for the staff. Staff have good knowledge of the various policies and procedures in the home. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Risk assessment should be brought up to date to reflect current care needs. There was an incident whereby an updated written risk assessment should have been formulated. Although all the staff were aware of how to manage the situation, the existing risk assessment had not been updated to reflect this. This has the potential for staff treating the situation differently as there was no written guideline for them to follow. There are forms or records in the service users’ files, which are out of date and their purpose is not clearly understood by the manager and the staff. These should be reviewed to determine whether they are still relevant to the care of the service users.
