What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The facility provides valuable and structured short term support, as part of a care package, to residents with a Learning Disability and their families. Residents are re-assessed in respect of acceptable risk at each point of admission. This ensured their continuous safety and retained their independence if appropriate. Residents are encouraged to maintain links with the community during their stay at Croasdale Drive. This ensures that they retain contact with family and friends. There was a robust policy in respect of the Protection of Vulnerable Adults. This ensured that in the "short stay" environment, residents were protected. Staffing levels are adjusted accordingly to meet the changing needs of the residents using the service. Staff are qualified to look after residents accommodated in the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

A list of names and signatures of staff who administered medication was in place. This ensures easy identification of which staff administered medication at any particular time. Some refurbishment had taken place in respect of the kitchen. Room audits had been carried out to identify the facilities available in resident`s rooms. Residents were then aware of what facilities were in their room prior to admission. Aerial tracking had been provide in one downstairs bedroom. The sluice had been relocated and partitioned off ensuring a safer environment in respect of "Health and Safety" issues. Alterations to the kitchen ensured that soiled laundry could be carried safely to the laundry. The manager has received a job description although it is under review.

What the care home could do better:

All staff who administer medication must receive the appropriate accredited training to ensure that they are confident when administering medication. All information offered to residents and their families should be reviewed on a regular basis. This will ensure that appropriate information is available to people. All staff must receive training in respect of the "Protection of Vulnerable Adults". This will ensure that they feel confident when carrying out their duties and that residents are living in a safe environment. The quality and quantity of furnishings requires to be addressed in order for residents to be in comfortable surroundings. Relatives commented that they felt that "the home seemed to have second hand furniture" and felt that it was "demeaning to residents". The dampness in the downstairs extension room should be addressed to ensure a comfortable environment for residents.A minimum of two double electric sockets should be supplied in each bedroom to ensure that all electrical equipment that residents may bring into the home can be used safely.

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;2 Documentation relating to the home is available to residents and relatives. Care plans are reviewed upon each respite admission. This means that staff at the home can still meet residents’ needs. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose had been reviewed during August 2005. The Residents Guide was in the process of being reviewed to include photographs of the recent refurbishment and changes in staffing. A copy of the most recent inspection report was displayed on the main notice board. Comments in a relatives comment card indicated that inspection reports were available in the home. Prior to a resident using the facility a social worker commissions a care package which is renewed on an annual basis. Staff from the home carry out an initial assessment prior to the first admission. District Nurses supply information in respect of health care needs. Individual care plans were developed from the care management assessment. Carers make arrangements directly with staff at the home when periods of respite care are required. The care plans are reviewed verbally with the carers prior to readmission. No residents were self-funded. Risk assessments were developed to show any potential risks. Any deterioration to residents would be discussed with the carers and social worker.

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 Residents were encouraged to make their own decisions from informed choices. This encouraged them to retain their independence and responsibility in their daily life. EVIDENCE: Care plans examined were included in the “Client Access File” and were very comprehensive. Residents/significant others were involved with the care plans and subsequent reviews. From the plans seen, information was gathered from the care management assessment, health professionals, family members and the homes own assessment. A “person centred” plan was developed from this. The plan identified any restrictions upon choice and was agreed prior to admission. Risk assessments were made available in a format suitable for each resident. Staff from day centres were responsible for the setting up of reviews and these were carried out usually at the day centre. Staff from Croasdale Drive were involved. Residents were able to discuss their care with members of staff. This could be during their stay or when having a care review. The Manager indicated that Ribble Valley Respite Service DS0000040803.V255830.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 any limitations would be discussed and documented and generally agreed prior to the resident’s admission. Information about the advocacy service was seen at the home. Records were seen that showed that any monies retained in the home on behalf of the residents was recorded upon admission and discharge. Evidence was seen of various risk assessments, which enabled residents to take responsible risks. Some were compiled prior to admission, usually at care reviews. The residents, their families and various professionals contributed. Risks highlighted potential hazards and strategies to deal with them. The limitations of the individual resident were considered. Where appropriate, residents were offered training regarding personal safety. This would normally be carried out at the day centre and reinforced during their stay at Croasdale Drive. A Missing Persons policy and procedure was evidenced.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12;13;15;16;17 Residents were accommodated at Croasdale Drive as part of their continuing care package. They were encouraged to continue with their interests and to maintain their community links. EVIDENCE: Activities would have been arranged prior to the residents staying at Croasdale Drive and these arrangements were continued during the resident’s period of respite care eg. attendance at day centres. Some residents were able to access the local shops and staff indicated that some were able walk to the local facilities. Where necessary, transport was provided or the local bus service was used. Local Authority transport was available to transport residents to the day centre. Prior to admission, staff were made aware of any additional staffing requirements in order for appropriate support to be offered. Relatives indicated in the comment card Ribble Valley Respite Service DS0000040803.V255830.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 that in their opinion “there were always enough staff on duty”. Documentation regarding the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 was evidenced. Staff indicated that residents could choose whom they wanted to see and this had usually been decided upon prior to admission and was documented. Residents had opportunities to meet people who did not have disabilities. This would normally be at social events. Bedroom door locks were seen fitted to resident’s bedrooms. Many residents chose not to use the locks. Keys were issued unless a risk assessment stated otherwise. Personal choice regarding all aspects of care was carried out and residents preferred form of address was seen recorded. Staff were encouraged to interact with residents and any housekeeping tasks were voluntary and supervised. Some residents liked to help prepare and cook meals. All activities were seen recorded in care plans. There was a menu book and when supplies were needed the residents often went shopping with staff. Staff indicated that this was usually a weekend activity. Residents assisted in choosing what was purchased and were involved in menu preparation. A wide variety of food was available that gave residents individual choice upon the day. Meals for ethnic minority residents had been provided in the past. From information gained the home provided nutritious meals, in a congenial setting with no obvious restrictions. Staff explained that some residents required specialised assistance with feeding and advice was often sought from family members or carers. Ribble Valley Respite Service DS0000040803.V255830.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 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.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18;19;20 Residents’ independence was promoted. Community healthcare support was available. Emotional support was offered on a one to one basis. EVIDENCE: All aspects of resident’s healthcare needs were recorded in care files. Any specialist help was pre-arranged, and staff would follow advice given or assist to attend any clinics, if required. Independence was encouraged, although it was acknowledged that some residents needed more support in relation to their healthcare care needs. Accommodation was provided in single rooms and staff told the inspector how their approach to privacy and dignity had been included in their induction training. Community nurses attended the home if required and any specialised equipment the resident needed was brought into the home and staff had been taught how to use it. When organising the staff rota, attempts were made to match staff to the required needs of prospective residents. Each resident had their own GP at their permanent address but arrangements were in place to attend the local hospital or use an “on call” GP should any problems arise. Any referrals to a Specialist were made from the resident’s own home, but staff from Croasdale Avenue supported appointments. A Ribble Valley Respite Service DS0000040803.V255830.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 resident’s health and any potential problems were identified and dealt with by staff. These were recorded in the care plans. Any consultations or treatments were carried out in the privacy of a resident’s own room. Medication administered had been appropriately recorded. Medication entering and leaving the home was recorded and monitored closely due to the high turnover of residents. At the time of the inspection no residents self medicated. Staff had obtained an up to date copy of the British National Formulary in addition to the up to date copy of the Royal Pharmaceutical Guidelines. Certificates indicated that some staff responsible for medication had carried out appropriate accredited training. Three staff were awaiting an appropriate course. A list of names and signatures of staff who administered medication was in place.

EVIDENCE: There was a complaints procedure that gave the relevant advice to follow with appropriate timescales. This was also evident in the Statement of Purpose. A copy of the complaints procedure, in video format, had been sent to all residents and their families. Lancashire County Council had compiled a corporate leaflet in 2002 titled “We care about what you think of us”. This contained a complaints process but it required to be reviewed as there was no reference to the CSCI. A complaints book that dealt with minor issues on a day-to-day basis was viewed. Written comments made by relatives indicated that they were aware of the complaints procedure. Various letters of thanks to the staff were seen on the notice board. A robust adult protection procedure had been developed, which included the Lancashire County Council’s “No Secrets” documentation. There was also a Whistle Blowing policy with a credit card type addition that contained useful numbers. Staff spoken with had received “Protection of Vulnerable Adults” training. A further two members of staff were awaiting places in respect of this training. Allegations of abuse would be recorded and staff spoken with were aware of their obligations to inform relevant bodies. Ribble Valley Respite Service DS0000040803.V255830.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24;26;30 The majority of the furniture was unsuitable and required replacing. Policies and procedures were in place in respect of the control of infection. EVIDENCE: The premises are in keeping with the local community. The Lancashire County Council Property Group is responsible for the upkeep of the premises and repair documentation was kept in a “maintenance” file. There was evidence of dampness in the downstairs extension bedroom. Some bedroom and lounge furniture required to be replaced. The manager indicated that new furniture was requested via the Learning Disability Service Manager. Copies of these requests were kept and they were then prioritorised. The manager was advised that new bedroom furniture should include something with a lockable facility. There was not enough seating in the lounge to accommodate a full compliment of residents. Room audits had been carried out to identify the facilities available in residents rooms. Bedrooms did not have wash hand basins installed. There was evidence that residents brought personal items with them during their stay. Because of the amount of electrical equipment that residents can bring into the home with them it is recommended that a minimum of two double electric Ribble Valley Respite Service DS0000040803.V255830.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 sockets are supplied in each bedroom. Suitable bedroom door locks had been fitted and radiators were suitably covered. Aerial tracking had been fitted into one downstairs bedroom. The laundry was situated near the kitchen.

Staff were qualified to look after residents accommodated in the home. EVIDENCE: Staff spoken with during the inspection were motivated. Many of the staff had worked for the service for many years and had gained the experience necessary to look after the resident group. This included learning disability issues and the manager stated that every staff member updated their knowledge every five years. Three of the care staff held an NVQ at level 3 in care (60 ). This exceeded the minimum standard. The manager indicated that any specialist help from other professionals would be sought to support the existing staff if required.
