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): 2,3,4,5 Quality in this outcome area is good. Admission procedures ensure that service users are able to make an informed choice before moving into Nichol Grange on a trial basis. They also ensure that the home is confident that they will be able to meet their individual needs. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Prospective service users are provided with opportunities to visit the home before they move in on a trial basis. Two sampled files contained evidence that a full assessment had been undertaken by the home of the service users’ needs, and details of the initial referral. Assessments and care plans had also been received from the relevant professionals involved in their care. The manager informed the inspector that she is providing training to senior staff in the assessment process. Once the assessment process has been completed the prospective service user receives confirmation in writing as to whether their needs can be met and a trial move in date is arranged. During the trial period an induction programme Nicholl Grange DS0000004820.V324243.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 is completed with the individual to ensure they are aware of the homes policies and procedures. Licence agreements are completed and signed which clearly set out the terms and conditions of living at Nicholl Grange including the room to be occupied, payment of fees, and restrictions on the consumption of drugs and alcohol.

EVIDENCE: All service users have their own individual plan of care. These set out the ways in which their needs will be met and the goals towards which they are working. Two sampled plans were detailed and reflected the assessed needs and specified actions required to meet them. This included physical and mental health, medication, personal care, daily living tasks and preparations to move onto independent living, where appropriate. Service users expressed satisfaction with the key worker allocated to them and confirmed that regular meetings take place to discuss their progress & plans for the future. They Nicholl Grange DS0000004820.V324243.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 have up to date copies of their plans. There is clear evidence on files that service users are encouraged to be involved in making decisions about all aspects of their lives. In addition to individual consultation, there are regular monthly meetings which are used to seek the service users’ opinions and suggestions in relation to the running of the home and any planned changes. Risk assessments had been completed including agreed boundaries. Early warning signs of mental ill health and relapse prevention plans had also been recorded. The views of the service users and those of others had also been included and copies of the plan had been given to the individual and their care co-ordinator.

In order to achieve this the service user is attending a weekly work preparation session. Discussions with some service users confirmed their understanding of their finances. One service user praised staff for their support in helping to obtain the right benefits. Service users spoke about their relationships outside the home and the support given to them to enable them to maintain positive contact with family and friends.

A separate log is maintained for GP and psychiatric outpatient appointments. The homes policy and procedure (available on the Sandwell MIND’s website) for medication has been signed by staff responsible for administration to ensure that it had been read and understood.
