This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection focused on assessing the main key Standards and on reviewing progress to meet the requirements that were made at the last inspection. As part of the inspection process the inspector reviewed information about the home that is held on file at the Commission, such as notifications of accidents and incidents. The manager of the home also completed and returned a questionnaire containing further information about the home, as part of the inspection process. The inspection involved meeting with the four people living at the home. Questionnaires were sent to service users prior to the inspector’s visit, 3 of which were completed and returned with support from staff at the home. The inspection also involved talking with all the staff and team leaders who were on duty. A number of records, such as care plans, staff files and fire safety records were also sampled for information as part of this inspection. What the service does well:
Care plans and risk assessments are in place for the people living at the home, including details of their routines and their likes and dislikes so that staff have the essential information necessary to meet people’s care needs in the way they like. People’s health needs are addressed using support from the GP and good range of appropriate health professionals. Staff are provided with a good range of training, including safe practice, such as first aid and moving and handling, as well as care courses, such as epilepsy, autism, sexuality and diversity training. Staff are also supported to attend NVQ training courses to equip them for their work. The people living at the home are provided with support to go out locally on a regular basis, such as shopping trips, and visiting parks. One person often goes out independently and has been provided with her own front door key to enable her to come and go freely. The home provides a 4-week menu based on people’s stated likes and dislikes and supports people to shop and choose groceries. The people living at the home looked comfortable and at ease in the company of staff and spoke positively about the support they received. One person said that the best thing about living at the home was her keyworker. Specialist equipment, including a hoist, bed and bathroom equipment has been provided for a person with changing health needs. The home is reasonably accessible downstairs. There is one downstairs bedroom with an en- suite shower room, suitable for a wheelchair user. Procedures are in place at the home to enable people to complain and monthly meetings provide another opportunity for people to raise any concerns they
Pia - Manor Court Road, 136 abc DS0000004474.V300328.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 may have. Staff are provided with access to suitable procedures and training to enable them to recognise adult abuse and to report any concerns they may hold about people’s welfare.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 The judgement for this outcome group is good. Satisfactory admission procedures are in place; people’s needs are assessed and they are allowed to visit to enable them to make an informed choice about living in the home. EVIDENCE: No new service users have moved into the home during the last year, so it was not possible to re-assess the home’s current admission practices. The last inspection report, 13/10/05, indicates that service users’ needs had been assessed and relatives consulted before people moved into the home. Service users were supported to visit on several occasions before moving in. Pia - Manor Court Road, 136 abc DS0000004474.V300328.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 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 The judgement for this outcome group is adequate. Systems are in place for reviewing people’s needs with their involvement. Care plans need to be updated in the new format to reflect changes agreed at review meetings. EVIDENCE: Assessments and care plans are in place for all the people living at the home. One care plan has recently been updated in a new format, since the last inspection. Overall the information in this particular care plan was very helpful and informative. The team leader stated that the manager also plans to update other people’s care plans into the new format shortly. The care plan has been signed by people’ present at the review, including the initials of the service user. Comments by people confirmed that they are encouraged to take part in their review meetings with their key workers. One person recently asked for visits to the pub to be added into her care plan. Letters were seen on file, inviting relatives to attend review meetings, encouraging their involvement in care planning where they are able to do so. Pia - Manor Court Road, 136 abc DS0000004474.V300328.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 In some cases care reviews have been carried out and proposed amendments to the care plan have been recorded on the review sheet, but the care plans still have yet to be amended. People’ s care plans contain satisfactory information about their daily routines and their likes and dislikes, as a means of them exercising some control over the way in which their care is provided by staff. The people living at the home confirmed that they take part in shopping for groceries and for personal items, such as clothing, with support from staff. This enables them to choose the things they like. People’s risk assessments have recently been reviewed. A well detailed moving and handling risk assessment was seen, containing guidance to help staff to safely support a service user whose mobility needs have changed recently. Staff training records verify that training in moving and handling and the use of a hoist has been provided to support safe practices. Guidelines were seen to be available, advising staff on how to respond to occasional challenges presented by a service user. Comments by a member of staff demonstrated a good awareness of the challenges presented and of appropriate strategies for responding appropriately. Comments by staff and entries in training records confirmed that challenging behaviour training is provided at the home.
