What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The care needs of people living in the home are well assessed and recorded and the home is well staffed to meet people`s needs. Each person living in the home has a daily programme of activities in the community. One of the service users was working closely with the Yarrow organisations multi-media expert looking at photographs and enabling the service user to work on a computer. This work is also linked into the Person Centred Planning where photographs are used to show how a service user lives their life as independently as is practicable and what choices they make.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Risk assessment records were seen to be in place for the two service users whose records the Inspector looked at. All staff is aware of how to complete the accident and incident book and to make sure the CSCI is notified.

What the care home could do better:

The Manager to liaise with the local authorities placement team to make sure the relevant care package is being provided to one of the service users who has been living at the home for many years but has had no social worker attend reviews.The Manager to make sure all staff working at the home have got the relevant training specifically first aid and food hygiene as not having these could lead to health and welfare issues for of the service users. A training programme has to be produced by the Manager and a copy sent to the CSCI. The Manager to make sure any student placements have had the relevant recruitment checks with a CRB disclosure in place before them being placed at the home. The homes freezer needs to be defrosted and the Manager needs to make sure that any frozen food is safely stored. The Manager also needs to make sure dry foods are stored safely in containers. The homes boiler needs to have a new cover as it is falling apart; this needs to be replaced quickly as it is in the utility room that service users have access to.

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): Standards 2, 3 and 5. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is information in place that is up to date and informative for prospective service users. All service users have a contract in place. EVIDENCE: All five people living in the home have lived together for some years and original care needs assessments and other reports have been archived. The local authority monitors the care of 4 service users living in the home and the Placements Officer organises regular reviews, involving the service user, their relatives, staff and other significant people. As well as looking at how care needs are met, the review considers the overall suitability of the placement, as individual’s needs change. There is an issue that one of the service users does not have a placement officer and the Manager has to liaise with the local authority to make sure there is a named person for the service user who will attend a review meeting to make sure the relevant package of care is being provided. The Inspector looked at the records of the service user and was happy that the relevant care is being provided. All of the service users have an original contract in place, the two service user records the Inspector looked at had an up to date Residents Agreement that was signed and agreed by the mothers of both people.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 6,7 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards of care planning and risk assessment are good. Staff involve service users in making decisions wherever possible. EVIDENCE: The Inspector looked at the records for two service users that were relevant and up to date. (PCP) Person Centred Planning records and review records have made excellent use of photographs of service users, significant people, places and events to make the information more accessible to people living in the home. The Inspector spoke with 3 staff and felt that they each had a good understanding of the care needs of each service user. One service was just getting ready for a late breakfast when the Inspector arrived in discussion with staff this was because the service user liked to have a lie in and choose what time she would get up. Service users were seen to be happy in the home and staff were interacting well with the service users not telling them what to do but allowing the service users to show them what they wanted with sign language and escorting staff to the kitchen for instance for a drink, staff were clear that part of their role is to promote choice and independence. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The standard of risk assessment and risk management in the home is good.

Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are well supported to take part in a range of activities in the home and the local community. EVIDENCE: The Inspector looked at the care plans for two people living in the home. Each plan included a variety of activities, including dance classes, movement and drama sessions. The staff rota is arranged to enable each person to be supported with an activity at least once each day. Staff also work late day shifts to support people with evenings out to the cinema or social clubs. One of the service users is taking part in work experience at a local business in the community. On the day of the Inspection one of the service users was away visiting her family the other four people all went out to participate in their planned activities. The two service user records looked at showed that they went on holiday, there were photographs of this holiday in both (PCP) Person Centred Planning review records. Risk assessments were completed on the service users before their holidays. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Service users are also able to take part in leisure activities in the home, either in communal rooms or bedrooms, one service user was being assisted to look at photographs on a computer assisted by Yarrows multi-media expert and one service user was seen drawing and colouring pictures.

Service users spoken with stated they liked the food and take turns assisting staff to prepare the meals. Fresh fruit was seen and the home had a sufficient amount of variety of service users. On the day of the Inspection lunch was a pasta dish that looked really good. The Manager has to make sure that all staff has the relevant food hygiene training that enables them to prepare and provide meals. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

Both people have asked to be supported with their personal care only by female staff. This is not an issue as the staff team is currently all female. The two service users records checked had a lot of information in place including medical appointments either at the home or hospitals. One of the service users has epilepsy there are detailed records in place to show staff the procedure to take when this occurs; all staff has been trained in this area. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The Inspector checked the medication records (MAR) sheets and medicine cabinet there are issues that any bottles of medicine must have a date opened written on them. There is also an issue with the information on one of the service users dossett box that does not correspond with the information for administration on the MAR sheet; the Manager must liaise with the pharmacy to make sure the correct information is written. In discussion with staff the Inspector was informed that only 3 members of staff have completed the medication training. As written throughout this report the Manager must complete a training programme for all staff to make sure training has taken place. The policy for death and dying needs to be implemented for all service users and records should be kept in each service users care plan, in discussions with staff this has been implemented for one service user. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23.

The Inspector saw in the two files looked at quality assurance questionnaires were the complaints procedure is mentioned both questionnaires show that the service user and family would know what to do if they had a complaint. The Inspector checked the finance records of two service users; one was seen to be correct with all relevant records and receipts in place. One of the service users financial transaction sheets for two months were not in place and hand written receipts were seen. The Manager must make sure the correct procedure is followed by all staff that shows all financial transactions and what balance of money should be left.

Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic.

Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home provides a good standard of private and shared accommodation. There is a need to complete the installation of the new shower. EVIDENCE: The Inspector had a full tour of the home that was seen to be well decorated and comfortable. All five-service users bedrooms were seen that were all individualised with personal items such as pictures, photographs and furniture all five bedrooms were well decorated and comfortable. A service user from another home managed by Yarrow works as a cleaner at Oxberry Avenue for 2 hours a day, 3 days a week, cleaning communal areas. People living in the home clean and tidy their own rooms, with support from staff. The home was clean and tidy in all areas. There is an ongoing issue with the shower in the home, a new shower has now been fitted there is still no power to it and in discussion with the Deputy Manager this is because they are awaiting the return of an electrician. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Yarrow must ensure this work is completed urgently as one service user cannot have a bath and has to wait for a shower when she visits her family home this is impinging on health and welfare issues and must be not continue.

All staff requires an up to date training and development programme to show they are competent in all relevant areas. All staff working at the home must have a CRB disclosure. EVIDENCE: The Inspector looked at the staff rota that showed sufficient staff is on duty at all times to meet the needs of the service users. In discussion with staff it was stated that only one member of staff is waiting to register for an NVQ qualification this is excellent. The Inspector looked at the training records of staff and in discussion with the Deputy Manager and staff it was evident that mandatory refresher training in first aid, food hygiene, moving and handling are not being provided. These training areas are extremely important and ensure that service users are protected under health safety and welfare issues. The Manager must do an internal audit on all staff and produce a programme of training ensuring all staff is up to date, a copy must be sent to the CSCI. The Manager must also make sure that a member of staff is on duty on all shifts that has a first aid qualification. Oxberry Avenue, 25 DS0000019142.V317338.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 There is a need for the Manager to make sure any student placements have all relevant checks completed as well as a CRB disclosure before the placement begins.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Standards of record keeping are good. There is a need to ensure that the correct procedures are followed for handling service users’ finances. The Manager must check the safe storage of food. EVIDENCE: The Manager was not on duty at the time of this inspection and the Inspector was unable to check certain areas of standards in this section. The Inspector looked questionnaires that had been completed by a service user and their mothers that show that there are no issues about the home and they are happy with the care provided. Yarrow does have an annual quality assurance document for all of their homes that is available to all service users, their families any stakeholders and the CSCI is sent a copy.
