They enjoy working at the home.The staff and people living in the home were interacting well and enjoying each other`s company, and staff were talking to the people living in the home in a positive and caring manner.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home had an inspection carried out on the 20th November 2006. However the home did not have any people living in the home at that time. Therefore it was not possible to inspect many of the standards in any detail.

What the care home could do better:

Although offering a very personal service to the people using the service, a number of areas requiring improvement were noted, including, staff training, supervision, care planning and risk assessment. These are highlighted at the end of this report as requirements, and must be addressed within the timescales quoted.

The inspector visited the home without telling any one that she was going to visit on Wednesday the 29th of August 07 The inspector spoke to the manager and staff who were on duty. She talked to the people using the service, and asked staff about those people’s needs. She also looked at the medical records and daily notes for one of the people living in the home. This is called case tracking. She watched the staff and the people living in the home do things together. One of the people living in the home gave the inspector a tour of the home. At the time of the inspection there were two people living in the home. The home had vacancies for five people at the time of the visit. The information from the service users questionnaire’s and the completed Annual quality assurance Assessment (AQAA) form sent to the CSCI have been used in this report. The inspector would like to thank the manager, staff, and the people living in the home for their time in helping with this inspection. This is the first inspection undertaken since the people living in the home were admitted. The manager needs to display the report where staff, people living in the home and visitors can have easy access to this document. This inspection report should be read alongside the National Minimum Standards for Younger Adults (18-65). What the service does well: The home is clean and pleasantly decorated.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,4,5. Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Good quality information is gathered prior to anyone moving to the home so that the person moving in can be confident the service can meet his or her needs. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection, two new service users had moved into the home. The manager discussed the admission process for the people that were admitted to the home. This process was also discussed by one of the people living in the home who stated that they had visited the home with their family and their social worker and “liked it”. Evidence of this assessment process was seen in the file of the person that was being case tracked. The home had a statement of purpose but did not have a service user guide. The manager stated that a user friendly guide was being produced. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The home had individual placement agreements with the funding authority. However the people using the service did not have an individual written contract or terms and conditions with the home. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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): 6,7,9,10 Quality in this outcome area is poor This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home did not have care plans or risk assessments to adequately provide staff with the information they need to satisfactorily meet the needs of the people who use the service. EVIDENCE: The people using the service did not have a care plan which set out in detail the action which needs to be taken by care staff to ensure that all aspects of the health, personal and social care needs of the person are met. So therefore the home would not be able to judge whether appropriate care is delivered to the individual person in accordance with the persons individual assessed needs. The manager and staff used the information from the assessment Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 process to meet the needs of the people living in the home. The staff spoken to had build up good working relationships with the people living in the home. They had good understanding about their behaviours and likes and dislikes as well as knowing what the people were able to do for themselves. The home used the organisations agency staff and this meant that they would not have the information needed to know how to meet the care needs of the people living in the home. The home needs to undertake risk assessments for people living in the home in discussion with them to protect them from identified risks and hazards. The home encourages the people living in the home to make decisions about their lives with assistance from staff. For example the home has meetings with the people living in the home and those seen showed that meals, outings, fire testing, complaints policy and what is happening in the home was being discussed. The information about the people living in the home was kept secured in the office Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15,16,17 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The people living in the home are provided with a variety of activities on a one to one basis with staff to develop their personal and social and skills. EVIDENCE: Discussion with the people living in the home showed, that they are offered opportunities to participate in the running of the home. The information in the communication book also showed that this was taking place. It was stated that they helped with the laundry, meal preparation, washing up after meal times, going to the shops to buy the food shopping, and their own personal shopping. One of the people living in the home stated that they prepared their own breakfast and made a cheesecake and they were very proud of this. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The inspector was informed by staff that one of the people living in the home was going to attend day care four times a week and one day was going to be spent at the home. This was to work on their daily living skills. At present this person was having a one to one with staff. It was said that they went out in the community and staff encouraged them to make their bed, do the laundry and help make lunch and tea. This was observed on the day of the inspection. Another person living in the home was being supported to settle in the home on a one to one basis. This person had refused to attend day care services previously. It was stated that the person’s behaviour had calmed down and they felt more settled living at the home. The manager stated that he was setting up day care once a week to a day care placement that the person would enjoy. It was also stated that a staff member would accompany the person in the beginning to support them. The day care would also increase when the person became more settled. A copy of the timetable of activities being undertaken for the week was recorded. A timetable was also displayed in picture form and the person that was being case tracked was able to discuss what they did by using the timetable. Some of the activities included going swimming, bowling, and visiting family. The two people living in the home had shown an interest in joining the gym and the manager was sorting this out. One of the people living in the home stated that they had a barbeque for their birthday and they enjoyed this. It was stated that the person was going on holiday in September 07 with staff to the seaside. One of the people using the service said this was “a happy place” and they liked living at the home. The staff were described as being very “helpful” and “nice”. The two people living in the home were observed getting on well together. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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): 18,19,20,21 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The staff and the manager ensure that the health care needs of the people are met by involving the appropriate professionals to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The staff on duty were able to give clear details in how the two people living in the home had their personal and health care needs met. This information was confirmed by one of the people using the service. This person also stated that they brought their own clothes and used the community hairdressers. Staff stated that only female staff gave personal care to female service users. The records case tracked for one of the people using the service had information on their medical diagnosis, medication profile and, how the person took their medication. A ‘service user agreement’ form for medication was Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 seen in a user friendly language. A family member signed this. The communication book read showed that families were being kept informed of the ‘service users conditions’. The medication records seen were being completed satisfactory. There was information on the weight chart and this was being completed properly. There were guidelines seen for supporting the person living in the home with their autism, and behaviours. This needed expanding as discussed at the inspection. A risk assessment was seen for epilepsy. The ABC record sheet for recording challenging behaviour was seen, and staff were completing this form. The manager stated that the information from this was discussed with the psychologist. The last incident recorded in the form was dated April 2007. It was stated that the person’s behaviours had stopped as they were settled at the home. A medical summary sheet with appointments with the medical professionals was maintained. A referral was also made by the home to the Arts psychotherapy department at Twinwoods health centre for one of the people using the service.

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.

The people living in the home are able to express their concerns and feel safe and well supported by the staff. EVIDENCE: The home had a complaints policy and this was completed in widget user friendly language. The home had no complaints recorded. The service users questionnaires stated that they knew who to speak to if they were unhappy. This was also discussed in their house meetings. The inspector spoke to one of the people living in the home and it was stated that they would tell staff or their family if they were not happy. However it was stated that they were ‘happy at present’. The staff on duty spoken to stated that they had not completed the training on protecting vulnerable adults. However they knew what to do if they suspected any kind of abuse. It was said that they would inform the manager. The staff spoken to were able to give examples of how they knew when one of the person living in the home was unhappy. This was by understanding their behaviours and it was stated that the person was able to communicate verbally. It was stated that one of the other service user was not able to Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 communicate verbally well. But staff understood their behaviours and stated they knew when the person was unhappy. Training on safeguarding adults was discussed with the manager.

Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The people using the service live in a very well maintained, attractive home, which is accessible to community facilities and services. EVIDENCE: A tour of the home was given by one of the people living in the home. The home was very clean and pleasantly decorated. All the bedrooms had en suite facilities. The bedroom of the person giving the tour was seen. The room was individualised to meet their needs. The person also stated that they liked their room. The lounge and dinning room were well planned to meet the needs of the people intended for. A quiet room was also available for the people living in Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 the home to sit quietly, and or meet with their friends. The kitchen and laundry were domestic in character and designed to enable and promote the involvement of the people living in the home. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,32,33,34,35,36 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The manager is aware that that there are gaps in the training programme and has an action plan to deal with this to meet the needs of the people living in the home. EVIDENCE: It was stated that two permanent staff and the company’s agency care staff managed the home. The ratio of care staff to service users was very good. To maintain continuity, the manager tried to use the same staff all the time. One staff spoken to stated that they worked for the organisation’s agency. They had been working at the home since a female service user had been admitted to the home. It was stated that female staff only attended to female service users. The staff had received induction training when they started work at the home. This Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 needs to be recorded and a copy needs to be kept in their file. The staff enjoyed working at the home and with the people living at the home. The staff had her first supervision with the manager this month. A copy needs to be kept in their file. The staff recruitment records were not held at the home, these were kept at the head office of the agency. These records were inspected at the agency the next day. There was evidence that the recruitment procedures were being implemented by the agency. However the staff files needed to be better organised. These records need to be kept at the home. The training records inspected showed that not all the staff had training on protection of vulnerable adults, challenging behaviour, autism, and control and restraint undertaken by all the staff working at the home. A training and development plan for all staff was required. The manager also needs to ensure that up to date information of the training undertaken by staff is available with dates carried out. Some of this information was available for some staff but not for others. The manager needs to undertake supervision with all staff as stated in the standard. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39,42 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Although procedures are in place, inadequate care planning and risk assessments place users at risk. EVIDENCE: The home was opened in February 2007. The rotas showed that the manager worked shifts with the agency’s care staff when the first person using the service was admitted to the home on the 14th of February. The manager therefore did not have time to undertake his administrative duties. The people living in the home did not have care plans or risk assessments, and contracts. Lomack Lodge DS0000067214.V349518.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Since the second person was admitted to the home in July 2007 the manager was able to have one day to do his administration. The inspector spoke to the proprietor regarding the manager having more time to undertake the duties of the registered manager. The proprietor was very supportive and agreed for the manager to have the time needed to do his job. The proprietor was not aware that the manager did not have enough time to undertake his duties. The manager has the skills and experience to manage the home well. However he has not attended any training since he started work with the organisation. The manager enjoyed working at the home and with the people living at the home. The inspection showed that the home is run very much with the service users interests at heart. The staff spoken to stated that the manager needed more time to undertake his administration duties. It was also stated that care plans and risk assessments were required so when new staff worked at the home, they would know how to meet the needs of the people living in the home. Risk assessments for using the gas oven, and staff working alone were seen but others needed developing in the areas of safe working practices and activities. The fire alarm testing, emergency lighting, fire hazards, infection control was being carried out satisfactory. The manager states that they speak to the people using the service to find out their views about food, activities, holiday’s in their meetings. The manager stated in the AQAA that they needed to develop and produce feedback surveys for service users and stakeholders.
