This was a key inspection the first since the service registered with the commission in July 2007. The site visit was started without warning; unfortunately there was no one home. An expert by experience had been arranged to be part of the site visit and this had to be cancelled. Another date was arranged with the provider. On the second day there were no people using the service available as they were all at day activities. The manager and a senior member of staff were present throughout the inspection and able to answer any questions. The manager has not been in post long and was able to demosntrate areas which are being developed such as a person centred approach. Part of the methodology used was to send out survey forms to people who use the service as well as staff and care managers. A tour of the premises took place and 1 member of staff on duty was spoken to. Before the site visit, documentation received such as the annual quality assurance assessment were reviewed. What the service does well: People using the service only do so following an assessment of their needs. This means that the service is clear about how they can support an individual. People using the service are encouraged to make decisions about their daily lives. People using the service are supported to take risks as part of their life. People are able to participate in activities which interest them in the home and the wider community. People are able to maintain relationships which are important to them and keep the routines of their daily life. People are able to eat the food they like as part of a healthy diet. People who use the service are supported the way the like and have their physical and emotional needs met. Staff receive the training they need to safeguard the people using the service. The home is warm, welcoming, comfortable and clean. People are supported by competent staff who have been through a robust recruitment procedure. People who use the service benefit from a home which is improving all the time. Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who are considering this service have the information they need, however further work is needed to make some of the information less confusing and more accessible so people can make an informed choice. People have their care needs assessed through the care management process before care is provided, which means the service is able to decide if they can meet individual care needs. EVIDENCE: The service has a statement of purpose and service user guide; this sets out the aims and objectives of the service and the facilities provided. The format could be developed to be more accessible for people who find pictures and symbols more useful to understand. There is some use of pictures in the guide however there is some confusion in the guide about which service it is referring to. The picture is of Ocean House but the words name another home. People who use the service at present are only admitted through a care management assessment as the service has a block booking arrangement with funding authorities. Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 On 2 files seen both contained a copy of the care management assessment and care plan. The home did not have its own care plan (see standard 6). Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.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 adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People have individual care plans however they are not the services own, which means they are not as up to date as they should be to reflect changing needs. Records reflect the choices made by people who are using the service. There are individual risk assessments in place for people using the service, which reflect individual needs. Staff handle information sensitively. EVIDENCE: The home had not fully developed their own care plan based on the care management assessment and care plan. There was some evidence in both files seen that the service were beginning to look at information about individuals in a person centred way. However this was not fully developed. On 1 file there was evidence that the service were aware of a change in someone’s health needs however the care plan provided by the funding authority was not up to Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 date. Several survey forms returned by relatives and carers suggested that a carers needs are taken into account. Care plans provided by funding authorities for individual’s receiving care are very detailed and cover all aspects of a persons health and welfare. 1 of the files seen did not contain an up to date care plan from the funding authority. The annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) submitted by the home states that the service notes individual needs through the care plans and in pre admission visits. In 1 file it was noted that an individual had a changed medical condition since the last period of respite, however this information was not in the care plan supplied by the funding authority, as it had not been reviewed since the last period of respite. The manager of the service was aware and commented on the need for good communication with care managers to ensure the staff have the information they need to meet individual care needs. The manager said that they are developing good links with care managers. 1 member of staff who returned a survey form stated “plans are detailed but that sometimes behaviours which are in plans do not manifest themselves during a period of respite”. 1 relative who returned a survey form said that there needs to be “better lines of internal communication regarding clients requirements”. Another relative who returned a survey form said, “Should read information sent in with person and act on it”. This could be done by updating the homes care plan and discussing with staff. There was evidence in the 2 files seen that people who use the service are supported to make decisions and care plans provided cover how people make choices. A record is kept of daily choices about getting up, activities, and meals. As people are in the service for respite there is no management of finances for individuals, however a clear record is kept of any monies brought into the home by an individual for the duration of their stay. A record is kept with receipts of how the money is spent. These records are audited daily and weekly. There are risk assessments in place for people who use the service, the manager says they are continuing to develop these as they get to know people better. Files contained risk assessments around being out in the community, evacuating the building if there was a fire. There was a risk assessment in place for 1 person who was at risk of choking but this information was not in the care plan. Information on individual’s who use the service is stored securely. All records of incidents and accidents are stored collectively. The provider explained that they are kept together for the purpose of auditing and once the audit is completed the individual incident records are stored in the personal files of each individual.

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, 15, 16, 17 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People are able to participate in activities, which interest them in the local community. People who use the service have their rights respected. People are supported to have a healthy diet. EVIDENCE: People who use this service are already participating in activities such as going to college and day activities either in a day service or in the community. While in respite these activities continue. The manager is in the process of ensuring that they capture information about the social and leisure activities which people want to do while on respite, this includes having information available on activities in the community while people are with them, arranging trips at the weekend and booking bowling alleys or getting cinema tickets if they know the person who is coming likes to Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 do these things. The AQAA states that the service has a variety of indoor games and videos for people to use while they are on respite if they wish. The manager pointed out that the service is still in the process of getting to know the people who use the service and tailoring the activities to individual wishes. 1 person who uses the service returned a survey form, which said, “They are able to do what they want at the weekend and in the evening” 1 relative who returned a survey form said when asked how could the care service improve: “arrange more outings/activities during client stay”. The daily routines for each person staying are detailed in the care plan provided by the funding authority. As there was no one in the home at the time of the site visit it was not possible to observed staff interacting with people using the service, however from survey forms returned there were only positive comments about the staff and the care and support they provide. The fridge and freezer were well stocked with food. There was fresh fruit and vegetables in the kitchen. There is a menu plan, a member of staff explained that this is flexible depending on what people feel like. The member of staff also said that they would buy specific food items if they know that someone coming in for respite really likes a particular item. As part of the introductory visit people who are considering using the service come for visits at teatime and have participated in the preparation of the meal. Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People receive the support in the way they need and prefer and their physical and emotional needs are met.

EVIDENCE: As previously stated the service receive detailed care plans from care managers, which contain information on the way people prefer to be supported. The manager also explained that they are developing a more person centred approach to updating information as they get to know people better, doing this during stays. 4 survey forms returned by relatives were all positive about the way staff support the people receiving the service. Staff are aware of health care needs and check with parents and social workers before someone is admitted on their current health. The service tries to ensure that routines are maintained while someone is in respite. The manager explained the priority given to information about health. Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 The home has a medication policy and the annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) says that when someone comes into the service the medication is checked and this is repeated at the end of his or her stay. The service also has information on the individuals own GP and they can register temporarily with a local GP for the duration of their stay. Staff have received training in the safe handling of medication. At the time of the inspection the records seen were accurate. Ocean House DS0000069856.V354469.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm.

As the service is still quite new the manager is also in the process of developing communication systems and getting to know what people want from the respite service. The manager is considering using pictures of staff so that people know to look at the board to see who will be on duty when they return from activities. As staff are becoming involved in total communication the manager is considering the use of symbols around the home. The quality assurance process being developed by the home includes sending out questionnaires after every period of respite.
