This was the first visit to the home since it opened in December 2006 by The Commission for Social Care Inspection. Prior to the visit an analysis of the home was undertaken from information gathered since the opening including that from the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment they completed. . The visit centred on looking at the key National Minimum Standards for younger adults. The site visit lasted for 3 ½ hours and the main method of inspection used was called case tracking which involved selecting 2 residents and tracking the care they receive through the checking of their records. One resident with restricted speech was observed for periods and the other resident stayed in his room as he had a disturbed nights sleep. A discussion was had with the manager, staff on duty and care practices were observed. The premises were not inspected in detail but various areas of the home were visited as part of the inspection. . The registration certificate was checked and found to be correct. What the service does well: Prospective new residents are assessed before moving into to the home to make sure that the home is able to meet their needs. Arrangements are made for residents to attend day time activities outside of the home. Visitors are welcome to the home and can take residents out. Residents are supported to use community based resources and meet up with friends. The routines of the home are flexible and take into account the individual preferences of residents. Medication is given out following the recommended safe procedures to make sure that residents are not put at risk when being given their medication. The home is well laid out and adapted to suit the needs of the residents whilst maintaining a clean and homely environment. There are sufficient staff on duty who are provided with training to meet the needs of the current resident group and the correct safety checks are carried out as part of the recruitment of new staff. Thee is a suitably qualified and experienced manager in post.

Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. New residents are assessed before they come to live at the home. EVIDENCE: The care files were seen for both residents and these included an initial assessment. The provider employs a senior care planner who is responsible for carrying assessments on prospective new residents. The assessments seen were completed prior to the residents moving to the home and information was being gathered on another resident who is expected to move into the home next month. The manager said that she is also involved in the assessment process and goes to meet the prospective resident, their family and attends relevant meetings. A member of staff said that the assessment process for the two current residents had been completed before she started working at the home, but she had been told about the prospective new resident. Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9 People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Care plans could be made easier to use and risk assessments must be updated when a change occurs. EVIDENCE: Each resident has two files, which are structured according to company policy. One file contains an information sheet, a weekly activity planner, a weekly menu, a personal hygiene check list, daily diary sheets, a plan of support, and forms to record healthcare appointments. The second file contains a lot of archived information, a contract, a personal health plan, risk assessments, details of finances and any correspondence. This meant that information needed to support residents was held in two separate files, making it more difficult to refer to and is a possible explanation why some tasks identified had not been done. Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The manager said the provider had informed a manager’s meeting the previous day that a new system of care planning is being introduced, which is to be implemented by the end of this year. Thee was no information seen in one file about contact arrangements with family, which the manager said took place. A member of staff said she did not know why care files were split they way they were and that she had just started to keywork one of the residents and needed to prepare some new plans. The plan of support was written in a person centred manner showing that the resident had been involved to some level in its preparation. The manager said that staff try to include residents in decisions, including how they spend their money. The manager said they are involved in planning their weekly menu and activity plan, although there were not any pictorial or other aids to assist with this which would increase the opportunities for residents to make choices. A member of staff said residents are able to choose the food they want and if they want to go out. One resident will usually answer ‘pub’ if asked what he wants to do. A member of staff said that the two residents do not have to choose to do the same thing, one prefers to spend more time in his room, but both enjoy listening to music and going to karaoke. A resident was seen choosing his breakfast and then sitting in the lounge listening to music. The other resident remained in his room. The manager said staff try to encourage residents to develop independent skills and they are encouraged to help cook and make drinks. The manager said that she looks for the worst possible scenario when preparing a risk assessment and then look to see how this can be minimised. An incident occurred in the home’s people carrier 2 days previously. A risk assessment was seen for going out in a car but this had not been updated following the incident. The manager said that this was going to be done today as both the deputy and herself, who are the people who update risk assessments were not at the home yesterday. Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents decide how they spend their time and make us of the local facilities. Residents’ rights are respected but more could be done to promote a healthy diet. EVIDENCE: Both residents have places at a local day centre, although staff said that one resident has chosen not to attend the full programme he has been offered, instead he attends the sessions that he enjoys. The residents’ weekly planner showed when they attended the day centre. The manager said that she has gathered information from local colleges on courses that may be suitable for the current and future residents, including courses on independence skills, cooking and information and technology. Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The manager said they look to access the local community whenever they can and they have been bowling, to the cinema and attended various clubs. The manager said that it is intended to develop some pictorial and other visual aids to help increase the residents’ ability to choose what they wish to do. Member of staff said that they have taken residents to local parks, shops, to access healthcare services, local miners welfare and the pub, where they have been made welcome and the bar staff now know what they like to drink. The residents’ weekly planners showed that they have regular opportunities to use community resources, examples being going out for a meal, going food shopping and going for a picnic. A member of staff said that residents can change their planners at short notice if they wish to. The manager said that families can visit whenever they want to and are able to take residents out. One resident has regular phone calls with his relative. The manger said they try to forge relationships with friends and families as this is positive for residents. A member of staff said that residents are able to meet friends they have known for a long time at the various clubs they attend and at the day centre. The manager said that the daily routines are flexible depending upon what is happening that day. A member of staff said they follow what is in the residents care plan for what they do each day, they like to have their set routines. A member of staff said that one resident likes to get up between 9.00 am and 10.00 am, get washed and come down for his breakfast whereas the other likes to spend more time in his room, and this is what happened. Both residents care plans referred to needing to provide a healthy diet to help with managing their weight. A sample of weekly menus were seen and these showed a choice of meal each day. Dishes included lasagne, spaghetti bolognaise, different chicken dishes and burger and chips. There is usually a roast dinner on Sundays. The menu planner showed that the residents regularly did not have one of the choice of meals on the menu planner but both had another alternative. There was no evidence that the planning of the residents’ diet was done in conjunction with a healthy eating plan. There was not any pictorial or other visual aids to help promote greater choice. The manger said that they do try to promote healthy eating. Staff said they often have a take away or go for a meal out on Friday evening.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20 People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. More could be done to promote residents well being through a more proactive approach personal and health care. EVIDENCE: Entries in care plans showed that residents are able to attend to their own personal needs with prompting by staff. There was a management action plan in each case file and this listed tasks that needed to be done, including providing a picture board of scheduled activities and a communication passport to be in place which had not been done. The manager said that the current residents are able to manage their own personal care with prompts from staff. The manager said that staff are expected to promote residents’ privacy and dignity and should always knock on their bedroom door and say who it is. Rivers DS0000069332.V348078.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 A member of staff said that the residents may need a bit of help getting in or out of the bath and to wash their hair but otherwise they can manage for themselves as long as they are reminded. Each resident had a health action plan which summarised tasks needed to be done and by when. These included making a chiropody referral and registering with a dentist. There was no evidence of these being done, but the manager said these were being worked upon but there had not been are record made of the phone calls made. Another entry said a resident should be encouraged to follow a programme of light exercise but there was no evidence of this being done. The Medicine Administration Record book listed the staff that have been trained and assessed as being competent to give out medication. The Medicine Administration Records were fully completed. There is a designated medicine room, which has a locking cupboard and fridge. There was correspondence seen one file where a resident was noted as retching and vomiting when taking tablet medication and this was changed to liquid and dissolvable. The manager said that when the next resident moves into the home they will be moving onto a monitored dosage system. A member of staff said that the manager had assessed her as being competent to administer medication and that she stays and supports the resident to take their medication.

We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. More could be done to promote the home’s complaints procedure. Systems to safeguard residents are being put into place. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints procedure and a book to record any complaints in, but thee was no information about this displayed in the home. No complaints have been made yet, and the manager said that she intends to introduce a system where comments can be made that fall short of full complaints. A member of staff knew that she should respond to any complaint but was unsure of the process. There was a copy of the Adult Protection procedures in the office and the manager was aware of the Adult Protection Unit’s website. The home has a whislteblowing policy. The manager said that safeguarding adults is one of the topics in the computer based training programme they have and staff will be doing this course over coming weeks. The manager said there have not been any allegations of abuse. A member of staff said safeguarding adults had been included in her induction but she had not had the full training yet.
