What the care home does well

Detailed documentation is kept at the home, and information is produced in an appropriate format for service users. Good communication ensures that everyone has the relevant information to make appropriate decisions. The home is well maintained, appears cared for, and is comfortable and safe. Care plans are detailed and thorough, and reviewed regularly, which helps to ensure that the needs of service users are anticipated, and responded to in an appropriate way. The individuality of each service user is recognised and the staff are committed to supporting and enabling service users to achieve as much as possible.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Satisfactory standards are being maintained with regard to the premises, and the new equipment and furniture provided has improved facilities for service users. The training programme for staff is extensive, and ensures a competent and experienced workforce is employed to support service users. The training recommended previously on death and bereavement has been provided for staff. Advice was sought from professionals about caring for a service user whose behaviour has been challenging to the service, and a satisfactory outcome achieved. Appropriate staffing levels are being maintained.

What the care home could do better:

Further information with regard to the administration of medication will ensure additional protection for service users. A detailed profile, together with a photograph should be included for each service user, and guidelines provided for the administration of PRN (as required) medication.

This Home is primarily for people with a learning disability but may accommodate people with an additional physical disability. 11th January 2006 Date of last inspection Brief Description of the Service: 6a, Prospect Place is registered to provide residential care for up to four service users who experience a learning disability, who may also have a physical disability, and whose needs are diverse. The home is also able to accommodate one person over 65 years of age. The range of fees varies between £1,100 and £1,250 per week. The building is a large dormer style bungalow situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, in close proximity to the city centre, with access to a range of amenities and facilities. The home is owned and run by Dimensions (UK) Ltd., and is part of the New Dimensions Group, which, as the parent company, provides strategic direction and a range of functional support services. The stated purpose of the organisation is, to work with people with learning difficulties, supporting them to make choices and to exercise control over their lives, and the main aim of the home is, to deliver a person-centred response to the needs and aspirations of the people we support. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The purpose of this routine key inspection was to monitor the care provided at the home, to assess how well the service meets the needs of the people who live there, and to follow up previous requirements and recommendations. The visit was unannounced and took approximately 3 hours, when some time was spent with service users, mostly observing their interactions with the people who support them, as they are unable themselves to verbally communicate their views. During conversations with staff, positive comments were made about what it is like to work at the home and also to be employed by the organisation. They assist service users in completing a survey entitled, ‘Have Your Say,’ – which provides information about what they think about the care and support they receive. Written comments are also requested from relatives, and any visitors or professionals are spoken with at the home during the inspection. Everyone expressed satisfaction with the standard of the care provided. The care records of service users were inspected, and discussions held with the manager and staff about the content. One was inspected in detail for case tracking purposes. A tour of the building was also undertaken, and the records kept in respect of the maintenance of equipment, and safe working practices were seen. The Care Manager was available for part of the inspection. Mrs Helen Mence, who has worked for the Organisation for many years is retiring at the end of the year, and a new manager is being recruited.

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 good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Appropriate documentation is in place to enable prospective service users to make an informed decision about their future care needs. The assessment process is both detailed and thorough, to ensure that an appropriate decision is made, both by the home and the service user. EVIDENCE: The documentation is produced in an appropriate format, and retained by the service user, if this is their wish. Some documents are produced on audio tape, and can be provided in other formats if needed. There have been no recent admissions to the home, although the process was discussed with staff who confirmed that it includes an extensive assessment by staff from the home, with a Community Care Assessment undertaken by a social worker. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.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 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): 6,7 & 9 Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The service users plan of care is based on the initial assessment, which clearly identifies their assessed needs, and how these will be met. The key-worker system ensures that service users living at the home are supported in making choices in all areas of their lives. Risk assessments are in place and enable a responsible approach to the risks associated with the various activities of daily living. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 EVIDENCE: An individual plan of care is produced for each service user, based on the initial assessment undertaken during the admission process. The plans are very comprehensive, detailing the specific needs of service users and how these are to be met. Documentation is reviewed regularly, to ensure that it accurately reflects specific aspects of the care that can be provided. Two key-workers are assigned to each service user, and have responsibility for ensuring that appropriate care is provided. Changes are monitored over a period of time, and amendments made when necessary. The obvious commitment of staff and the positive relationship with service users from everyone involved with their care is commendable. One care plan was checked in detail during the inspection, and discussed with the key worker, who was fully aware of every aspect of the needs of the service user. The comments were written as from the service user, whose main form of communication was by facial expression. Several documents combine to form the plan of care for the service user and include the following: • Support Plan, which details the daily routine, basic communication needs, feeding requirements, and specific guidelines for staff to follow • A Health Action Plan is completed although health care needs are also well documented in the support plan • Essential Lifestyle Plan, that includes all the activities that the service user is involved in, and how they are accessed and implemented • Communication Passport, relating specifically to the various forms of communication used with individual service users. Training was provided recently by the Speech and Language Therapist • Key-worker folder, containing information on the bi-monthly review meetings which are held with the service user and the family or representative • Risk Assessment folder, that provides greater detail about all the risks identified in respect of every aspect of the life of the service user • Financial folder, giving information relating to money matters, accounts, signatories and how funds are accessed by the service user The service users living at 6a Prospect Place are not able to communicate verbally, therefore staff are continually having to interpret their individual needs and preferences. Participation in the daily life of the home is encouraged, and indications that a service user may not wish to do something is acknowledged and respected. One person made it very clear by making a lot of noise, that he wished the music to be changed, that he was listening to, and following this he became quite content again. The details recorded in all the documentation relating to each service user are discussed with them and their family, or a representative. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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): 12,13,15,16 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are the focus of the delivery of the high standard of person centred care that is provided. The involvement of each individual in developing their activities, both within and outside the home, means that they are able to choose what they wish to do. The opportunities made available to service users enable them to live as fulfilling a life as possible. The health and wellbeing of service users is promoted by the provision of a nutritious and wholesome diet. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 EVIDENCE: Service users living at the home are encouraged to follow an ‘ordinary’ life style as far as possible, by using the same facilities as other members of the community, and being involved in a range activities. A person-centred approach is part of the philosophy of the care provision in homes run by Dimensions. Limited communication skills preclude involvement in paid employment or educational opportunities, but social activities are provided, and these may be undertaken in-house or in the community. Examples include, shopping, cookery sessions, swimming, going to the pub for lunch, visits to the snoezlan, Jacuzzi and hydro, going to the theatre and to discos. One service user was taken out by a member of staff to attend a music session during the afternoon. In-house activities include an Indian head massage, watching TV or videos and music is enjoyed by everyone. Making music is a past-time of one service user, who has an electronic organ. One service user was involved with a member of staff in preparing the vegetables for the evening meal. There are no set routines or formal arrangements within the home, as staff respond to each situation as it occurs. The days are organized around the preplanned activities of each service user, and are also influenced by the health of each person. Links with family and friends are promoted, with a high degree of support provided by staff, to both the family, and to the service user. The services of volunteers or an advocate is sought in the absence of family involvement. The arrangements regarding the provision of food reflect the individual preferences of each service user, which are recorded. The proposed meals are discussed, although service users are not able to express their specific preferences, but it is made very clear if something is not liked or wanted. All service users require assistance with eating, which is dealt with sensitively by staff. Two service users have their food cut into small pieces, one needs most foods pureed, and another is fed through a P.E.G. (Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy), which is well managed by staff. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 8,19 & 20 Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The procedures in place at the home are followed closely by staff to ensure that the personal and healthcare needs of service users are met appropriately. Support is provided to each service user, and their independence promoted as far as possible, in meeting the care needs of each individual. Arrangements for the safe administration of medication are satisfactory. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 EVIDENCE: The personal and healthcare needs of service users, which are extensive, are well documented, and there is evidence to show in the individual plan of care how staff understand and respond to them in an appropriate way. Personal care is provided in privacy, and is never rushed, although an extensive amount of time is spent giving personal support to each individual. Reviews are undertaken regularly on all service users to determine their specific needs. The healthcare of service users is closely monitored, and additional specialist support and advice is sought from the primary health care team, and other health professionals, when necessary. Podiatry and optical care is arranged as necessary, and dental treatment is also provided. Health Action Plans have been implemented for all service users. One service user is to have dental extractions in the near future, which have been planned in multi-agency meetings and with the involvement of family. These discussions are well documented. A physiotherapist was visiting a service user at the time of the inspection and advised staff on providing postural drainage to relieve some breathing difficulties that had been experienced by the service user. The service users are all unable to walk independently, but the high standard of physical care provided has ensured that the skin integrity of each individual remains intact. There is also the need for intrusive treatments to be undertaken by staff from time to time e.g. administering suppositories, but relevant staff have been given the necessary training. Medication arrangements at the home are satisfactory. A Monitored Dosage System is in use, and regular checks by the pharmacist are undertaken. The Medication Administration Records have been completed appropriately. Staff were advised that a detailed profile, together with a photograph should be included for each service user, and guidelines provided for the administration of PRN (as required) medication. Prospect Place, 6a DS0000018671.V294438.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service are able to express any concerns, through an effective complaints procedure. The awareness of the management, together with the training provided for staff, ensures the protection of service users from all forms of abuse. EVIDENCE: A clear procedure for the investigation of complaints has been produced and any issues are dealt with immediately. The document has been produced in a format that is understandable to service users. Discussions have been held with service users families or advocates regarding the process, and several lovely compliments about the home and the care provided are recorded. Since the last inspection, the records at the home indicate that one complaint has been made, which was dealt with appropriately by the organisation. There have also been two complaints to the Commission, relating to an inappropriate placement at the home, that had an adverse effect on the other service users. Staff are able to demonstrate a clear understanding of the issues relating to abuse, and also to their individual role as an advocate for service users. An appropriate procedure is in place relating to the many aspects of abuse and the protection of vulnerable adults. Training for all staff on the Protection of Vulnerable Adults has been provided.
