This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection for the inspection year 2006/2007. All key standards were inspected on this occasion. The site visit to the Home inspection took place over 5 hours and the inspector was able to tour the home and garden. Discussions were held with five of the seven service users accommodated, the Home’s deputy manager, one relief worker and one permanent staff member. Two service users’ care plans were viewed. A pre inspection questionnaire completed by the Home’s deputy manager and received prior to the inspection further contributed to this report. Three service user comment cards were also received by the commission of which views expressed as to the service provided by the Home are also included within this report. There were five areas of improvement identified of which details can be found in the main body of the report. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? 296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 At the last inspection some individuals’ needs had changed and it was identified that a re-assessment would be beneficial to ensure the home can still meet the needs of all service users’ accommodated. This work has begun with a system in place to ensure that needs are regularly reviewed. What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

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 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are clear care planning systems in place ensuring prospective service users needs and aspirations are assessed, although the lack of risk assessments of service users needs in the event of a fire evacuation place service users at risk. EVIDENCE: There have been no new admissions to the Home since the last inspection. In the event of a vacancy in the Home there is a pre admission process. This includes service users only being admitted following an assessment of their needs by the Home in conjunction with all relevant professionals. The service user is central to all care planning and decision-making. For service user’s referred through Social Services or Health Services a copy of their assessment would be obtained alongside a copy of their Care Programme Approach (CPA) assessment. The assessments ensure service users mental health needs and support required to meet those needs and by whom are considered before a placement is offered. 296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices

Staff spoken to were aware of the information held in files and were able to describe care and support needs for service users accommodated. From the two service user files viewed it was further evident that they had been compiled in conjunction with other professionals and the service user and were detailed. For example for one individual whose physical and mental health is deteriorating the care plan included details of support required from staff and professionals to ensure they maintained a level of independence within a risk management framework of care. Care plans viewed further included details of positive, planned interventions including communication techniques and support required to meet individuals ‘ mental health needs.

Where required staff support service users to attend appointments although the majority are independent. One service user has physical health needs and from discussion with the individual was being appropriately supported by staff. A stair lift gives the individual access to the first floor where the lounge is located and the garden can accessed by the side door. Some of the service users are over 65 years of age and have some health issues that have resulted in staff being required to provide personal care. In discussion with the deputy manager she indicated that whilst care plans gave guidance to staff as to the support required the Organisation did not have a policy or procedure in relation to personal care. It was agreed that the deputy would raise the issue in the next area manager’s meeting and request that a policy and procedure be devised. In the interim staff in the Home confirmed
296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 that they had good information on which to provide appropriate personal care to individual’s who needed it.

The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A comfortable, clean, hygienic and safe environment is provided for service users, which meets their needs although a system must be put in place to lessen the risk of cross infection. EVIDENCE: The home is well maintained and suited to the service user’s needs. It is decorated to a standard that creates a comfortable and homely environment. All service users spoken to indicated that the home met their current needs. There is an ongoing maintenance programme in place with the deputy manager indicating that a work sheet is completed and sent to the landlord if works are required to be undertaken. On the day of the inspection the laundry room was locked for health and safety reasons following a leak in the ceiling from faulty pipe work. This had been reported. Service users indicated that they were aware that the room was not accessible. There have been no recent visits from the Statutory Fire Officer or Environmental Health officer. The garden area looked welcoming and had a number of flower baskets. There is an area in which service users were seen to use and indicated they enjoyed. The Home was clean and hygienic and free from offensive odours on the day of inspection. There are ample hand washing facilities and bathrooms and policies and procedures in place relating to the control of infection. The laundry has
296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 ample facilities and although service users are not currently able to independently use the room they indicated that the facilities normally meet their needs. It was agreed with the deputy manager however, that towels in the bathrooms for use of both staff and service users could encourage cross infection and a system needs to put in place to lessen the possibility. 296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staffing
The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32,34 and 35. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is a good skill mix of well-trained staff to support service users. The relevant recruitment practices in place ensure service users are protected. EVIDENCE: Staff spoken to including a relief worker from another Home within the Organisation demonstrated an excellent understanding of service users’ needs and were observed as being approachable, good listeners and communicators and supportive of service users’ requests throughout the inspection. Service users spoken to further supported this view. Staff indicated that a range of training is provided by the Organisation relevant to the needs of service user’s accommodated. It includes a thorough induction, mental health awareness, hearing voices, challenging behaviour, recovery model, management performance and abuse. Future training planned includes complex needs, boundaries and recruitment and selection. Of the six fulltime and one part time staff members of the team two have achieved National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) in care and three are working towards NVQ Level three. Two staff spoken to demonstrated an awareness of equality and diversity issues and application to their daily practice. One staff member confirmed that the Home has a policy and procedure addressing diversity and equal opportunities that is covered during induction and addressed during both staff meetings and supervision as required. Staff spoken to said that they have
296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 a training needs analysis and opportunities to develop their practice with the support of management. The inspector viewed two staff files and all contained training undertaken, a criminal records bureau check, application form, references and a health check. There was also evidence of regular supervision and staff spoken to confirmed this. However, the training records of relief staff employed by the Organisation are not held in the Home unless they are designated relief staff for that specific Home. As a consequence the training of all staff working in the Home at any one time may not be known by the staff and management team. To ensure the staff team have the skill base to support service users accommodated it was agreed that the deputy would raise this in the management area meeting and ensure that training records of all staff regardless of whether they are relief or permanent members of the team are held in the Home and available for inspection. The deputy reassured the inspector that only staff known to service users and who are familiar with their needs would work in the Home. From a discussion held with a relief staff member during the inspection it was evident that they were fully aware of the needs of service users accommodated. 296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39 and 42. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Leadership provided by the temporary manager is satisfactory ensuring positive outcomes for service users and staff who are involved in the running of the service. The health and safety practices in the home are generally satisfactory although EVIDENCE: The registered manager of the Home Yvonne Rabson is currently seconded to another Home within the Organisation. 296 Old Worting Rd has had a temporary manager in post for four weeks. The commission have recently been advised of this change and will be following up with the Organisation as to what plans they have for the future management of the Home. On the day of the inspection the temporary manager was not on duty. However, from staff and service user feedback they felt supported and that the change in management had not had any major impact on the running of the Home. 296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 The deputy manager has worked in the Home for a period of time and was available on the day of inspection. In terms of quality assurance systems in place in the Home monthly one to one meetings are held with service users and their key workers to gain the views on the running of the Home. Service users and staff indicated that any issues identified are passed onto the manager for action. There is a continuous monitoring of service users needs with a monthly visit undertaken by senior members of management within the Organisation to ascertain their views as to how their Home is functioning. These visits are recorded and copies are sent to the commission. The deputy manager indicated that the visits provide an opportunity for service users and staff to talk to senior staff within the Organisation. Service users views are further sought through annual questionnaires and this information is then used as part of the annual review of the Home. Views are also sought from staff, relatives and professionals. Staff were aware of the policies and procedures relevant to the Home and that they were kept in the office and accessible at all times. These are regularly reviewed by management to ensure they are kept up to date with legislation with changes discussed during team meetings or, referred to in the daily communications book if required. Two members of the staff team manage health and safety matters in the Home with the manager having overall responsibility. Staff indicated that they have received training in health and safety, moving and handling, first aid, food hygiene and infection control. Documentation relating to the Control Of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) was also available in the Home of which staff indicated they were aware of and referred to. The Home completed a pre inspection questionnaire which indicated that all relevant records and certificates are in place to ensure the environment is safe and secure with service users spoken to indicating that they felt the Home to be safe and were aware of what they should do in the event of a fire. Records viewed confirmed that regular testing of fire appliances takes place on a weekly basis. The accident book was viewed and had been appropriately completed and action taken as necessary. However, although staff demonstrated an awareness of individuals’ needs in the event of an evacuation of the Home there was no documentation to support evidence of the individual risks identified and verbally discussed amongst the staff and management team. The deputy agreed to complete the risk assessments and share with all staff and ensure the assessments were kept under review. An area of improvement identified at the last inspection for all staff to undertake twice yearly fire training has not been achieved and was brought to the attention of the deputy who agreed to address as a matter of urgency. This area of improvement is therefore repeated in this inspection report. 296 Old Worting Road (Pines) DS0000012310.V297259.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
