This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection undertaken as part of the regulatory process. The Inspector spent a total 6 of hours on the inspection process. The Inspector undertook a tour of the premises, examined service user records, staff records, maintenance records and medication records. The purpose of this inspection was to follow up the requirements of the last inspection and to assess all key National Minimum Standards for Younger Adults. The Inspector did not meet any of the service users during the course of the inspection as three service users were at day care and the service user who was at home had been taken out by the staff on duty. The pre-inspection questionnaire completed by the home has also been used to inform this report. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Some requirements have been repeated and these must be addressed. Action must be taken to address the shortfalls within the environment with the responsible Housing Association. Minor shortfalls in relation to staff records should be easy to address. No progress has been made with introducing Induction and Foundation training to meet Skills for Care requirements. Regulation 26 Visits must be undertaken monthly. The home must have in place an annual development plan. Health and safety shortfalls identified must be addressed.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Improvements have been made in the area of quality assurance, further improvements are required to ensure that the a programme of self-review is in place. Shortfalls in the systems for the management of health and safety do not always safeguard the service users. EVIDENCE: The Manager designate has applied to become the Registered Manager. The Manager designate is currently undertaking the Registered Managers Award and has several years experience of working with this resident group. This standard will be examined in detail at the next inspection. Records viewed at the time of the inspection indicated that the Manager designate was undertaking periodic training. Lowdell Close, 186-188 DS0000027064.V288613.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 21 Regulation 26 Visits were not taking place monthly. The last visit report received at the CSCI was dated 24/04/06. No further visits have taken place. Since the last inspection the home uses a in house quality assurance monitoring form. The home also has in place a quality monitoring plan, which is in a checklist format. An annual development plan has not been formulated. This is a repeat finding. Service user and their representatives have received feedback questionnaires. Stakeholder surveys are to be sent out in July by Head Office. The Manager designate agreed to send the collated results to the Commission and other interested parties. Maintenance records were viewed at random and those viewed were up to date. Fire drills and fire alarm tests were taking place. The fire drill records did not record the times of the drill and their was no evidence that night staff had undertaken a drill. The fire risk assessment viewed did not contain sufficient detail regarding the risks identified and there was no evidence that an emergency plan was in place. Regular health and safety audits are taking place. Hot water temperature readings are being undertaken periodically by the staff, on some occasions the readings were above 43â¦c. in the bathroom on the first floor. It appeared that no action had been taken by the home to address this. Records viewed indicated that staff were receiving mandatory training. A business plan for the home was available. The Manager designate confirmed that the business was financially viable. Lowdell Close, 186-188 DS0000027064.V288613.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 22 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
