This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was unannounced and took place over one day between 9:45 am and 14:30 pm. As part of the inspection process the inspector met with two service users and interviewed the registered manager and deputy who were on duty at the home. Several areas of the building were inspected and a number of records were examined. The inspector was pleased to note that service users were very relaxed around staff who were observed to be extremely supportive and sensitive to their current needs. The inspector would like to thank service users and staff for their commitment to the inspection process. The inspector checked the progress made on any previous requirements outstanding from the last report and checked all key standards that had not been assessed on the last inspection in July of this year. What the service does well:
The service continues to work positively with all service users and priority is given to meeting each individuals needs. Service users confirmed that all staff were extremely supportive and sensitive to their needs and wishes. They said that they could relate well to staff in the comfortable and relaxing environment of the home. Staff encouraged and supported service users with taking responsibility for their own lives and worked closely with each individual to achieve daily goals and aspirations. Daily feelings meetings identified any anxieties or concerns and coping mechanisms were then developed to ensure that each person could work towards their goals without dependence on alcohol. On-going support, that service users say is invaluable, continues to be provided by the floating support worker once service users leave the home to live in the local community. Service users said they were happy and comfortable in their rooms and they were pleased with the redecoration programme underway at the home. More bedrooms were to be decorated in the near future and it is planned for a walk in shower to be installed in the bathroom. The personal and health care needs of each person had been identified and service users had been supported with medical appointments and admissions to hospital as and when required. Specialist advice had been sought when needed and links had been developed and maintained with several other agencies such as health, education, housing, benefits and employment. The home is well managed and all staff employed by the home had the required skills to work sensitively and proactively with each service user. The manager was keen to develop the service further to ensure that they can continue to meet the changing needs of their client group.

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): 1 and 2. A detailed statement of purpose and service user guide had been produced and minor additions would ensure that service users had all of the necessary information regarding the home and the levels of support provided by staff. Service users individual care needs had been fully assessed prior to their admission, however the written assessment had not always been forwarded to the home. It could therefore not be ensured that staff were fully aware of each service users needs or that the service was appropriate to meet each individuals needs. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose and service user guide, were available in the home for service users and staff. These clearly detailed the services, staff support and facilities provided by the home. Details of staff experience had not been included and the manager confirmed that he would ensure that this was documented. Service users said they had all the information they needed about the home prior to their admission and this had ensured that they were clear about the house rules and the role of staff. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 Discussions with the manager confirmed that full needs assessments had been completed by the referring social workers from the homeless or substance misuse team. However he was concerned that despite several requests these were not always forwarded to the home and he was aware that they were not receiving all of the required information regarding each individuals needs and current situation. Recently one service user had left the home shortly after his admission as it had become clear that the service could not meet some of his specialist needs. The manager had not been made fully aware of his specific problems and difficulties prior to his admission and this had not only placed the individual at risk but also the service users already living at the home and the staff team. The manager confirmed that he would write to the referring social workers to remind them that in line with the regulations and standards for the service, service users could not be admitted until he had received a detailed copy of the full needs assessment. Without this he could not determine that the service user was appropriately placed, could not complete a detailed care plan specific to the persons needs and could not ensure that there was a satisfactory assessment and management of risk. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6 and 7. The care needs, preferences and personal goals were not fully recorded in each section of the care plan. Some sections were not up to date. Therefore it could not be ensured that staff were fully aware of each individuals current needs. Service users confirmed that they were always encouraged by staff to make decisions about their lives and the appropriate levels of staff support were provided throughout the duration of their stay at the home. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 EVIDENCE: The inspector checked three service user plans of care. Service users had been included in the development of these and said that they could have access to the information when they wished. Two care plans had been signed by the service user and their key worker. The care plan had not always been developed from the initial care needs assessment, as these had not always been available – please see standard 2. Detailed notes had been made following the formal weekly counselling section however these had not always been signed or dated by staff. A copy of the contract was included however this did not include a breakdown of the fees charged. Some aspects of the care plan were in need of up-dating as details had not recently been recorded for leisure, family contacts or training undertaken. One plan did not have the medication section up to date and it did not detail any possible side effects that staff may need to be aware of. Some entries in the healthcare section did not have any follow up treatment or action taken recorded. The main goals being worked on for each individual could not always be easily identified and there was insufficient information to confirm that the plans had been regularly reviewed. Not all plans contained fully completed risk assessments and the manager had not signed all plans to confirm that he was monitoring them on a regular basis. Two care plans did not contain a photograph of the service user. Service users interviewed said that all staff employed by the home were extremely supportive and that they always encouraged them to develop and maintain their independence. Daily meetings gave them the opportunity to discuss any issues that they had and to identify a goal for the day that would help them to take control over their own lives. They confirmed that they were supported by staff in the individual and group counselling sessions to make decisions about all aspects of their life and to move forward positively towards a life without dependency on alcohol. One service user said he now felt confident about his future, once he left the home, and that staff had empowered him to take responsibility for his own life. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Lifestyle
The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 16 and 17. Service users were able to take part in fulfilling activities that are age, peer and culturally appropriate. Service users confirmed that their rights were respected and that their daily routines encouraged and developed their independence. Service users were provided with nutritious food that they enjoyed and that ensured that they maintained a healthy diet. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 EVIDENCE: Service users confirmed that they were supported and encouraged by staff to undertake training courses and to find voluntary or paid employment. They said that staff had supported them to develop links with local training organisations and courses had been undertaken on a range of subjects including money management, counselling, PAT testing and social sciences. One service user that had recently left the home, to live independently in the local community, had been offered employment following a successful work placement as a volunteer. Service users said that the floating support worker was keen to ensure that service users had the opportunity to take up any training or employment that they were interested in and that he was a constant source of encouragement to them. Service users had daily access to a computer at the home and this helped to support them with their training. Service users and staff interviewed confirmed that the house rules and daily routines promoted and actively encouraged independence, freedom of movement and individual choice. Any restrictions imposed had been discussed at the time of their admission to the home and information relating to this was seen in the care plans checked. It included details of the daily breathalyser test to ensure that all service users maintained sobriety for the duration of their stay at the home. Service users had signed to confirm that they understood the house rules and that they would comply with them as part of the terms and conditions of their tenancy at the home. The daily routines were discussed on a regular basis with each service user to ensure that each person accepted responsibility for specific tasks. This was seen as an important aspect of each individuals care as it provided them with the chance to gradually take more and more responsibility for their own life whilst aiming for change and recovery. Service users said they could choose how they wished to spend their time at the home and that they could choose if and when they wanted to be with others or have privacy in their own room. Service users said that they prepared and cooked their own meals. They said they could choose what and when they wanted to eat and that in the main they catered for themselves. There were weekly deliveries of food to the home, by ‘Crisis Fareshare’. The service users then chose the food they wanted and stored it in their own section of the fridge/freezer or food cupboard. Service users contributed towards a weekly housekeeping fund and this was used to purchase tea, coffee and milk for the home. Service users said they were provided with a range of healthy meals that were nutritious and they thought they ate well.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 20. Service users were able to take responsibility for retaining, administering and controlling their own medication where appropriate. Some of the homes procedures relating to the recording of medication, that had been received and administered by staff, did not ensure that service users were fully protected. EVIDENCE: The manager confirmed that in the main service users self-administered medication. (The exceptions to this were where an individual had been prescribed a more intensively controlled programme of medication relating to substance addiction). Service users were responsible for ordering their own medication via their GP and lockable facilities had been provided in bedrooms for safely securing any items. Service users had been provided with a copy of the homes medication policy and procedures and signed agreements were seen on service users files. Service users were aware that they had to inform staff of any changes to their medication. It was noted that for one item of medication, that had been delivered daily to the service user at the home, staff had not signed to confirm that they had received it and there were no signatures to confirm that it had been administered at a weekend. One care plan checked did not contain a medication profile or details of any sensitivity or possible side effects for staff to be aware of.

The shower was fitted over the bath and discussions with the manager previously had confirmed that the safety of service users with mobility problems could not always be ensured when accessing the shower. All areas of the home checked were clean and fresh smelling. EVIDENCE: The dining room had recently been redecorated and at the time of the inspection the hallways and staircases were in the process of being redecorated.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39, 41 and 42. Service users benefit from a well managed home. Service users views of the service provided were sought on a regular basis. This ensured that staff were continuing to meet each individuals needs in line with the stated aims and objectives for the home. In the main records checked were well organised and information could be easily accessed. However some records did not contain all of the required information and therefore the rights and best interests of service users could not be fully promoted. The home had the appropriate health and safety policies and procedures in place at the home and staff had completed the required training. Written risk assessments had not been completed for all areas of the home as required and therefore the health, safety and welfare of service users and their visitors could not be fully ensured. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 EVIDENCE: The registered manager and his staff team were committed to maintaining and developing the standards of care provided to service users. The manager has many years of experience of working with people with alcohol related problems. He said that he hopes to complete his NVQ level 4 training in care and management in the next few months. The manager was clear of his roles and responsibilities and he has regular contact with his external line manager who is clearly committed to supporting the service and completes detailed monthly regulation 26 reports. Any issues identified were documented and the appropriate action had been taken to address any problems. The manager said that service users were regularly asked for their opinion of the care provided by the home. This had been done via individual and group discussion with service users. He confirmed that the registered organisation were keen to develop the homes quality assurance systems and that it was planned that an independent person would do this in the future with all service users. A member of the executive committee is to be allocated to complete this and they plan to develop questionnaires for other professionals who work with service users that live at the home. A selection of records were checked and in the main the information required was available for inspection. General improvements had been made to a number of records since the last inspection. Some of the homes policies and procedures were not dated. The fire safety log confirmed that the fire equipment had been serviced as required and that weekly tests of the fire alarm system were being conducted. However the records of fire instruction and drills for staff did not include details of the procedures or of the action taken by the staff present. The accident records confirmed that there had been no accidents since the last inspection. The manager confirmed that a Health and Safety Officer had visited recently and that he had raised a number of issues that required action by the home. The COSHH risk assessments had been updated to ensure that they were completed for all cleaning substances used in the home. Copies of these were available for service users. The manager said that he was in the process of completing written risk assessments for all areas of the home. Priory Road DS0000003003.V264974.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
