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 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Newnton House has the necessary documentation, policies and procedures, which assist prospective service users in deciding if the home can meet their needs. However it is required that the service users guide and tstatement of purpose be amended to reflect current changes within the home. All Service users are issued with a Statement of Expectation and Rules upon their admission. EVIDENCE: The Inspector was notified that four service users have been admitted into the home since the last inspection. Cross tracking of two of these files evidenced that the service users are admitted into the home only after a full assessment has been undertaken. The home obtains appropraite referral information including reports and assessments from other professionals. It was further evidenced that the home has carried out its own assessment and developed an individual plan for each of the service users sampled. Newnton House DS0000010277.V329621.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The home has eligibility criteria and service users are only admitted into the home, if their needs can be fully met. The home does not accept emergency admissions. Both the service users guide and the statement of purpose were available. These documents have been comprehensively written and contained all the information required in line with National Minimum Standards. However it is required that these documents are amended to accurately reflect the recent changes to the home in respect of the management change and some facilities changes; i.e. increase of room numbers.

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): 6,7,8 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

The care plans developed by the home were comprehensively reviewed and identify the service users individual needs including areas such as health, personal and social care needs. Caer plans were being evaluated and regularly reviewed by the home and multi-disciplinary professionals and updated accordingly to reflect changing Newnton House DS0000010277.V329621.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 needs.

Records of these sessions were seen as evidence of proactive working with service users to address their individual needs and goals. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Care plans sampled contained risk assessments for a variety of activities, which includes managing finance, cooking and accessingthe local community. However it was disappointing to note that some risks highlighted in the individual care plan had not been comprehensively assessed. A care plan had identified the issue of drug abuse but there was no risk assessment in place or guidance for staff as to the appropriate action to take. The registered manager must ensure that all identified risks are comprehensively assessed and reflected in the individual care plan. This was a requirement issued in the previous inspection report, which will be re-issued in this report with a new timescale. The Commission may consider enforcement action for failure to comply within this extended timescale. The home organises monthly meetings for service users to participate in the running of the home. The inspector sampled recent minutes for these meeings and evidenced that matters such as maintenance, activities and the organisation of a shopping rota had been discussed. Discussion with service users and further sampling of individual plans evidenced that service users are supported to make their own decisions, for example, activities they would like to be involved with and their daily routines.
