Conditions of registration: Date of last inspection 10th January 2006 Brief Description of the Service: Kensington Lodge is a large, period residence located close to Cromer town centre and sea front. The care home is registered to accommodate 15 service users in the category of People with Learning Difficulties. Service user accommodation is spread over 4 levels, with communal rooms on the ground and first floor. There is a stair lift to the first floor only, so service users with rooms on the floors above must be sufficiently able bodied to manage the stairs. There is a fire escape route, approved by the fire officer, from the upper floor through to an adjoining property. To both front and rear, the property includes small paved areas with seating and flower tubs, but lacks a garden or car park. However, rooms to the rear of the building benefit from views of the esplanade and a putting green and other seaside attractions together with the main shopping area are within walking distance. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This report considers information about the Home that has been gathered since the last Inspection, including an unannounced visit to the Home on the 14th November 2006. This includes information provided by the Manager in the form of the Pre Inspection Questionnaire and comment cards completed by residents and relatives. The residents were assisted by staff to complete the comment cards and 12 were returned. These all contained mainly positive responses including additional comments about the “good food” and “nice staff”. A couple of the comment cards stated that sometimes there is too much noise in the Home. Six comment cards were returned from relatives and these all contain positive responses except for one stating that there is not always enough staff and one stating that they are not always kept informed of issues affecting their relative. Additional comments were made such as: “ we are happy with the care that …. receives” “staff always give me an update on how…is and what has been happening” “the staff make me welcome at any time I call. It is a very happy home” The Home has previously been managed by the Proprietor but they appointed a Manager, Susan Briggs, six months ago who is now responsible for the day to day management of the Home. What the service does well:
The Home is well managed by a manager who puts the needs of the residents first. There are good relationships between staff and residents. The residents like living at the Home and feel that they receive good support. The residents are confident that any concerns they may have will be dealt with appropriately. The residents take part in a wide range of leisure and educational activities. Residents are encouraged to maintain and develop their independence.

Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents are encouraged and supported to make their own decisions. Risks are assessed in a way that provides safeguards but promotes the independence of the residents. The care plans contain detailed information about the needs of the residents EVIDENCE: The care plans were previously found to meet the standard required but the Manager explained that she has identified that there is room for improvement in the format and content of the care plans and that she has plans to improve these over the next few months. Two of the care plans were seen and these contain a lot of information about the needs of the residents as well as risk assessments. The Manager intends to ensure that the new care plans will contain the necessary information in a format that is easier for staff to use on a daily basis. Residents and the key
Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 workers will be involved in the process so that they are then able to get together on a regular basis to monitor the care plans. The residents comment cards all state that they all know that they have a care plan. The staff are aware of the care plans and where they are kept. The care plans contain detailed risk assessments which cover a range of issues. The residents are encouraged to maintain and develop independence skills and so a lot of the risk assessments are with regard to this issue, such as, going out alone, relationships, using community facilities alone. The residents, staff and Manager gave a lot of examples of how the residents are encouraged to make their own decisions and about the safeguards in place to ensure that this is done in a way which is safe but does not restrict the residents unnecessarily. Staff were heard to ask the residents views about a range of issues during the visit to the Home. The Manager said that she has recently assisted residents to open their own bank accounts so that all of their money can be paid directly into these. The Manager showed the Inspector the recording system for ensuring that a record is kept of all expenditure and income for each of the residents. The Manager said that the Proprietor checks the records periodically. It is recommended that a record is kept of when this takes place.

EVIDENCE: The residents are all supported to take part in a wide range of leisure, work and educational activities. Some of the residents attend formal day services for at least part of the week. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The residents and staff told the Inspector about some of the leisure activities that residents have taken part in during recent weeks. These include the Gateway Club, cinema, Bible class, a Cheese and Wine evening, shopping, meals out, horse riding. Residents told the Inspector that they go out a lot and enjoy their lives. Five of the residents comment cards state “sometimes” to the question about whether there are lots of things to do. However, other evidence shows that residents are supported to take part in a lot of activities. Several of the residents are able to go out independently and the location of the Home makes this easier as it is only a short walk to the town centre and al of the community facilities that Cromer has to offer. Residents all have TV and music systems in their room. The Manager has arranged for an engineer to visit as the reception on some of the televisions in the bedrooms is not very good. During the period of time before dinner residents were either chatting together, chatting with staff, reading, drawing, writing or in their rooms. There are two lounges in the Home, one of which is a smoking lounge for those residents who smoke. Some of the residents have mobile phones and there is a pay phone residents can use as well as the cordless phone from the office. The Home has a cat which is clearly well loved by residents. All six of the relatives comment cards state that they are made to feel welcome at the Home with some having additional comments written on about how welcoming the staff are and how happy they are with the care that their relative receives. One of the comment cards states that they feel that they are not kept informed about issues affecting their relative. Discussions with the Manager and residents show that the residents are encouraged to make their own decisions about how much involvement their families have in their lives. Two of the residents living at the Home are married and other residents have partners. Staff are respectful of the relationships that residents have and the care plans show that residents are provided with information about relationships, sexuality and responsibility. The Home has a large kitchen on the ground floor which the residents have access to.

Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support
The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents receive good support with their personal and healthcare needs. Medication is managed well but requirements are made to improve the recording of the administration of controlled drugs. EVIDENCE: The care plans contain information about the personal and healthcare needs of the residents and the staff have a good understanding of these. Two of the residents were at home in bed on the day of the visit as they were unwell and staff provided support to them on a regular basis. One of the residents has a serious health need and the staff are aware of how to provide support appropriately and sensitively. Other professionals are involved in the residents lives with regard to their physical and emotional health. The Inspector spoke to a health/social care professional during the visit and their feedback about the Home was positive. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Residents use the local dentist, opticians, hairdressers and chiropody services. One of the members of staff is also a hairdresser and so can provide this service to residents who choose not to visit the local salon. One of the residents uses sign language and the Manager has arranged for one of the Learning Disability Community team to come to the Home to provide Signalong training for the whole staff team. One of the staff has recently completed the Communication Co-ordinators training and so will now undertake communication assessments for all of the residents. The medication is supplied using a monitored dosage system. Staff receive training from the local chemist and are only able to administer medication once they have completed the training. The medication system was looked at during the visit. It was noted that in general the system is being used appropriately and therefore provides good protection to the residents. However, it was noted that one of the bottles of liquid medication did not have an opening date on and another was out of date. It is required that dates of opening are recorded on liquid medication and that out of date medication is returned to the pharmacy. Currently controlled drugs are being kept for one of the residents. A controlled drugs cupboard is not being used but the Home is not likely to be storing this medication for long as it is being used to treat a specific need. It is required that two staff sign for the administration of controlled drugs and that a register is kept of all controlled drugs. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents and staff are confident that the Manager will deal with any concerns/complaints The policies and procedures in place aim to protect the residents. This will be further improved once the staff have received the forthcoming updated training. EVIDENCE: All of the residents comment cards state that they are aware of who to make a complaint to. Residents told the Inspector that they would talk to the Manager or the staff and that the Manager would “sort things out” for them. Two of the six relatives comment cards state that they are not aware of the complaints procedure, although one clarified this by saying that they have been provided with a copy but had misplaced it. There have been no complaints about the Home made to either the Home or to the Commission. All of the residents comment cards, except for one, state that they feel safe at the Home. One stated “sometimes” to this question. Three of the comment cards put “the noise” or “arguing” as things that are not good about the Home. Discussions with residents, staff and the Manager show that there are sometimes arguments between residents which is unsurprising with fourteen adults sharing a house. There are systems in place to deal with any issues of conflict between residents. The forthcoming communication training should
Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 assist with the levels of noise within the House which relate to one specific resident. The Manager has arranged for Safeguarding Adults training to be provided to the staff team in December. The Manager is aware of the procedure in place to notify the relevant authorities of any allegations of abuse. Staff said that they have confidence in the Manager to deal with any concerns that they may have. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment

Two of the residents showed the Inspector their bedrooms and these show evidence of residents being encouraged to personalise their rooms. There are some areas in need of refurbishment or redecoration and the Manager has already identified these and made arrangements for them to be addressed within the next few weeks. The Home was clean and free from unpleasant odours on the day of the visit. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staffing

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The Home is well managed in the best interests of the residents. Health and safety issues are given a high priority therefore providing protection for both residents and staff. The Manager is implementing systems for measuring the quality of the service. EVIDENCE: The Manager, Susan Briggs, was appointed six months ago and spent time receiving induction from the Proprietor. The Proprietors now do not have involvement on a day to day basis but are always available if there are any
Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 problems. The Manager said that she is always able to contact them and that she usually seems them on a regular basis for discussions about the Home. It is recommended that the Managers support/supervision sessions are recorded. The Manager said that she has a generous budget which more than adequately provides for the day to day expenditure. The Manager has many years experience of working with adults with learning disabilities and has four years experience of managing a Care Home prior to moving to this Home. She has achieved NVQ Level 4 and other training appropriate to her role. Her registration with the Commission has just been completed. The Manager has a good understanding of where improvements can be made and has plans in place for all of these which is admirable in such a short time of managing the Home. Discussions with the Manager show that she puts the needs of the residents first and that she has a good understanding of the needs of the residents. Discussions with residents, staff and the visiting health/social care professional confirm this. Staff said that she is approachable and supportive. Residents said that they like her and that she helps them. A selection of the records relating to health and safety were seen. The fire safety equipment receives regular servicing and a fire risk assessment has been completed for the building. It is recommended that a door closure is fitted to the lounge door on the first floor so that those residents who like the door open are able to do so. The Manager is aware of the need for an annual quality assurance report reflecting the various ways in which the quality of the service has been measured during the previous year and has plans in place to ensure that this takes place. A requirement is made about this. The Manager has recently sent relatives a questionnaire to obtain their views of the service and intends to consult with staff and health/social care professionals using questionnaires over the coming months. She has plans in place for obtaining the views of the resident and of the need to be flexible about how this is done depending on each resident. A residents meeting is arranged for later this week and staff meetings take place also. Kensington Lodge DS0000027315.V320244.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
