The inspection took place on 01/08/05 and was announced. The home’s proprietor and prospective manager were the present throughout the inspection. The inspector also had the opportunity of speaking with residents and members of the staff team. To assist in the inspection of the home a number of policies, procedures and other documents were inspected. The home has been open for a relatively short period of time and this inspection was the first announced inspection after the registration process was completed. Unfortunately soon after registration process was completed both the responsible individual and the registered manager left the organisation without an opportunity for transition arrangements to be made. The proprietor has now become a responsible individual and has worked with the Commission for Social Care Inspection to ensure the safety of the two current residents and to move the home back to a position where it can operate in a professional way. The proprietor is in the process of registering a new manager and recruiting new staff. The proprietor has employed the services of a consultant to advise him on mental health, social work and management issues. Despite the problems and disruption that the home has experienced residents speak highly of the services that are offered and speak positively of the proprietor and staff. In recent weeks there have been significant improvements in the quality of recording and to this needs to continue. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?

The current Responsible Individual, who is also the proprietor, is in the process of registering a new manager.

The documentation available for inspection required additional information to be added this included in organisational structure for the home and a record of staff working at the homeand their qualifications and experience. The responsible individual advised that this information will be added as appendices to the Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide.

Since this was the first inspection of the home since registration a copy of the most recent inspection report was not available. Records of residents currently living at the home were inspected. Each admission was as a result of a Care Programme Approach meeting that identified that residents needed a placement offering higher staffing levels and a small unit. Risk assessments had been undertaken as part of the Care Programme Approach assessment. Adequate care plans had not been developed from assessment documentation. The responsible individual is aware of this and staff at the home are currently working hard to rectify this problem. Restrictions on choice, freedom, services or facilities are contained within the Care Programme Approach assessments. Care plans do not fully identify how the assessed needs of residents are to be met and work to rectify this is being undertaken.

The contract/statement ifof terms and conditions refers to the Care Programme Approach plan but not to the care plan. This will be amended. The policy of the home is that residents can be supported by family, friends and or an advocate whilst negotiating their contracts.
