This was an unannounced inspection, which took place on Monday 11th September 2006 at 9am and was completed at 3.30pm. The manager, who is temporary until the end of September 2006 and the deputy manager were available throughout the inspection process and were very helpful and accommodating. The operations manager visited the home in the afternoon to carry out a monthly service quality audit and participated in the inspection process. To gather evidence for this inspection, three residents were spoken to informally, although this was rather difficult due to all of the residents having some form of communication difficulty. One of the residents and his father were spoken to together and one resident was spoken to in the presence of a member of staff. Five members of staff were spoken to three individually in private and two together. Evidence was also gathered by viewing all of the residents’ files, seven staff files and various other files, certificates and documents. An extensive internal and external tour of the home was conducted with the registered manager. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Six requirements have been made at this inspection, of these two have been restated. Further information about unmet requirements can be found in the relevant standard. Unmet requirements impact upon the welfare and safety of service users. Failure to comply by the timescale will lead to the Commission for Social Care Inspection considering enforcement action to secure compliance Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 If staff are to support residents to achieve their full potential, they must ensure that they identify residents goals and ambitions with the support of the resident’s representatives.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1 and 2. Qualities in these outcome areas are good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. Prospective residents to the home have the information to make an informed choice and robust assessments ensure that they are eligible to live in the home and that the home can meet their needs. EVIDENCE: At the previous inspection, a requirement was made that the service users’ guide and statement of purpose must be revised. Both were viewed and the revisions have been made. The service users’ guide has been developed in written and pictorial format for easier understanding of the information. All of the residents have lived in the home for many years and although their assessments have been archived, the organisation has policies and procedures on assessing potential residents to the home. The statement of purpose also contains some information about the assessment process. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9 Qualities in these outcome areas are adequate. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. Although residents are being supported to take manageable risks and make decisions about their lives, they are not achieving their goals because staff are not ensuring that goals are identified and recorded. EVIDENCE: Although it was made a requirement at the previous inspection, on looking through all of the residents’ care plans, there was a lack of information about their goals or ambitions. There was also no evidence that the resident, their family or representative was involved in drawing up their care plan. This was discussed with the manager and the operations manager and a revised and restated requirement was made. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 All of the residents have some form of communication difficulties. However, evidence in their personal file show that the services of a speech and language therapist has been sought. There was also evidence that two of the residents have an advocate who also support them to make decisions. Care plans contained information on the way residents communicate verbally through distinct facial expressions and through certain gestures. When spoken to, the staff were able to describe how they understand and support the residents to make decisions. Each resident’s care plan contains information on individually assessed everyday risks to them, compiled by staff in consultation with the resident or their representative. The home is using Adepta’s risk assessment format, which includes information on the risk and benefits to the resident, others and the organisation. The staff have been ensuring that the risk assessments are reviewed regularly.

The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Qualities in these outcome areas are good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. The staff are ensuring that residents access the community and take part in appropriate activities. They are also ensuring that residents maintain family links where possible and that their nutritional health care is well managed. EVIDENCE: The manager stated that none of the residents are in paid or voluntary employment. Certificates on residents’ bedroom walls and in their personal file shows that some of them have attended various courses at college. All of the residents also attend a day centre at least once a week and are supported by the staff there to develop their physical and mental skills. According to the deputy manager and evidence in their care plans, four of the residents are active in their church and attend every Sunday. The manager stated that the residents are active in their community and have a good relationship with the neighbours. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Throughout the day, residents were observed entering and leaving the home with staff support. Three staff went out for lunch with two residents and the father of another resident came to take him out for the day. Residents’ daily diaries show that they have been accessing activities in the community such as the cinema, eating out or shopping. Information contained in residents’ care plans show that they are active in their community and are able to access all activities and facilities. A resident spoken to said, “I like going to football matches”. When asked what his favourite football team was he shouted the name out and smiled. The manager stated that none of the residents have close relationships with people other than their family. She went on to say that two of the residents who have minimal contact with their family, have an advocate who will support them when required, such as at various meetings and reviews. One residents father said, “I come here once a week and take my son out, I also attend meetings and talk to the staff about how he’s doing.” Throughout the day, staff were observed and overheard interacting with the residents in a courteous, supportive and professional manner. Residents seemed relaxed by the way they responded to staff support. Staff were also observed knocking on residents’ bedroom door prior to entering. The menu for the past four weeks was seen and contained sensible nutritious and varied meals such as casseroles, salads and vegetable dishes. When asked if she like the meals prepared in the home, one resident said quickly, with a smile on her face, “Yes, I do.” Another resident said, “I like the food and I help cook.” The father of a resident said that his son has never complained about the food to him. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20. Qualities in these outcome areas are good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. The staff team are ensuring that they support residents according to the residents’ preferences.

EVIDENCE: Recorded on each residents care plan is information on how staff should support them with their personal care. Contained within the care plans is information on how the resident should be supported in getting up in the morning and going to bed at night. There is also information on supporting the resident with hygiene, dressing, doing their nails and hair. When spoken to a resident’s father said, “I’ve been coming here to see my son since the home opened and I’ve never had a problem with the way in which the staff look after my son.” He went on to say, “My son always looks clean and well cared for when I come here.” Each resident has a “Record of visits to a medical service”, in their file. Staff ensure that when residents visit their: GP, chiropodist or, dentist, that the advice/treatment and follow-up arrangements are recorded. The records show that the residents have regular health care checks to ensure that their health is monitored and maintained. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The manager said that none of the residents administer their own medication. When looked at, the Medication Administration Records (MAR) charts for all of the residents show that staff have been filling them in correctly. All medication in the home is stored correctly. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23.

Qualities in these outcome areas are good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. The home is ensuring that all complaints are taken seriously and that people have the necessary information if anyone wishes to make a complaint or if they suspect that someone is being abused. EVIDENCE: The home has comprehensive information available if residents or others wish to make a complaint. There is information in the service users’ guide along with Adepta’s complaints policy and procedure. The home also has complaint forms, which have sections for the complaints, the investigation and the outcome and any further action that should be taken. The home’s operations manager is, appropriately investigating a recent complaint made by the father of a resident. The home has the London Borough of Barnet’s Multi-Agency Protection Policy and Procedure and Adepta’s adult protection policies and procedures, which contains information on how to recognise signs of potential abuse and steps that the staff member should take if they have any suspicions. Staff spoken to had a good understanding of how residents should be protected from abuse. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24, 29 and 30. Qualities in these outcome areas are adequate. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. Although the staff have ensured that the home is comfortable and is kept clean and hygienic, residents do not have sufficient or appropriate facilities to maximise their independence and ensure their freedom of movement and robust maintenance repairs are not occurring. EVIDENCE: An extensive tour of the home was conducted with the manager. The door to the conservatory was blocked. When spoken to, the manager stated that the door was blocked to prevent people entering the conservatory because one of the glass ceiling panels came away and fell to the floor. A temporary wooden panel has been put in its place. The manager went on to say that residents are being prevented from using the conservatory. A requirement is made that the glass panel must be replaced and made safe so that residents can use the room. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 A requirement was made at the previous inspection that an assessment is carried out to ensure the all baths are appropriate to meet the personal care needs of all of the residents. The manager and deputy manager stated that one assessment has been carried out but no decision has made as to what will be done about the bath. A requirement is made that a review of the identified bathroom takes place to ensure that an appropriate bath is fitted and that all residents are able to use the bath. The home has a part-time cleaner who ensures that all areas of the home are kept clean, tidy and hygienic. There is also a dedicated laundry room with washing and sluicing facilities.

Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 34 and 35. Qualities in these outcome areas are adequate. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. A competent staff team is supporting residents. However, residents are being put at risk and some of their needs may be overlooked due to recruitment and training procedures not being adhered to. EVIDENCE: Some of the staff files viewed contained a copy of their certificate in moving and handling and an introduction to learning disabilities. Many of the staff have worked in the home for many years and when spoken to all had a good understanding of the needs of the residents. The personal files of seven staff were viewed and contained information such as a Criminal Records Bureau Record (CRB) check, two references and an application form and other information such as a passport or documents from the Home Office regarding permission to stay or work in the UK. Five of the seven files however, did not contain a photograph of the member of staff. A requirement is made regarding this. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The file containing staffs’ training certificates was viewed and although the staff have been continually receiving training, there was a lack of evidence to show that all of the staff have received the statutory training such has health and safety, protection of vulnerable adults, food hygiene, health and safety and moving and handling. A requirement is made that a review of staff training is undertaken to ensure that all staff are receiving statutory training.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 and 42. Qualities in these outcome areas are adequate. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. The temporary manager is running the home reasonably and the quality of the service is being assessed. However, people are at risk due to inadequate safety monitoring. EVIDENCE: The manager stated that she has worked in the home since March 2006 on a temporary contract. She went on to say they she has a City & Guild in advanced management in care and has been in management since 1991, in various services.

The information from the questionnaires received back are forwarded to operations managers and registered managers who will structure their development plan according to the views and comments from the questionnaires based on their overall findings. Matlock Close 4 DS0000010536.V311191.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 The staff are not ensuring that all health and safety checks are carried out regularly. Fire tests should occur weekly but when checked, there had been gaps where at times tests have not occurred for up to two or three weeks. Safety certificates such as gas, Portable Appliances Test (PAT) and the water test were seen and were up to date and in order. However, the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) certificate could not be found. A requirement is made that fire safety checks are carried out weekly and when found; a copy of the (LFEPA) certificate is forward to the Commission.
