This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection covering all of the key standards of the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Adults and of the Supplementary Standards for care homes accommodating young people aged 16 and 17. The inspection commenced on 9th October and was completed on 16th October 2006. During the inspection a tour of the building was conducted, records and care plans examined and the inspector spoke to residents, one visitor, members of staff and the registered manager. What the service does well:
Saxon Lodge is a purpose-built home that has been designed and equipped to meet the needs of young people with a high physical dependency. It is a pleasant well-maintained building with furniture and equipment that is of good quality and suitable for purpose. This is a well managed home with an enthusiastic and stable staff team that has received good training to help them support the young people who live there. The home was well organised and all records were up-to-date. Each resident had a care plan that was very detailed and provided a comprehensive picture of his/her needs. The plans showed how staff endeavoured to involve the resident and worked with him/her to ensure care and support was given in the way that the individual wanted. The home worked very closely with residents families and health and social care professionals and many very positive comments were received about staff and the service they delivered: “No problems with staff – they’re a good bunch here.” (Resident) “The care for my sister is excellent. I have nothing to say that is not positive. Staff are always welcoming. Activities and interaction is excellent. Every member of staff is absolutely fabulous.” (Relative) A parent when asked what improvements should be made in the next 12 months said: “None – I am totally pleased with Saxon Lodge and all the staff. My son is very happy.” Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

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): 1,2,3,4,5 Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The homes, statement of purpose and service users guide provided prospective residents and their family with information to help them make an informed decision about the suitability of the home. The extended and detailed assessment process ensured only those whose needs could be met would be admitted. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose clearly set out the aims, objectives and philosophy of the home. Each resident had been given a copy of the service users guide; this was presented in a user-friendly format with photographs of the home, and symbols and pictures to aid understanding. Also included was a service agreement that had been signed by the Saxon Lodge manager and the resident or his/her representative. Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Conversation with the manager and members of staff and examination of the personal files of three residents showed that following referral, a rigorous and extended assessment process had been undertaken involving the prospective resident and his/her family, Saxon Lodge staff and other appropriate professionals. A visitor to the home told the inspector that prior to his sister being admitted the manager and other members of staff paid several visits to the family home as part of the assessment process “over a long period of time.” A social worker had written “ good co-operation with other professionals, especially during introduction and admission time – excellent liaison and cooperation with all involved.” Examination of the personal file of the last resident to be admitted showed the transitional period had lasted three months, during which time the home had worked closely with other professionals to conduct in-depth assessments to determine the homes ability to meet his needs and to gauge compatibility with existing residents. The prospective resident had visited Saxon Lodge on three occasions. The manager and members of staff had visited the family home to speak to the family and observe the service user in his home environment, they had also identified environmental changes that would be required to be made to Saxon Lodge before admission. Staff had spent three days at a residential home where the prospective resident had been receiving respite care; whilst there they had continued with the assessment process and had observed care practice. Prior to the new resident being admitted to the home, all members of staff had received two days training to help them meet his needs. Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. 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. Residents were placed at the centre of the care planning process and were supported to make choices and to take control of their lives at a level appropriate to their skills and abilities. All care plan documentation was well maintained and up-to-date, Comprehensive risk assessments and risk management strategies were in place. EVIDENCE: Observation during the inspection, conversation with the manager and staff and examination of care planning documentation and daily records evidenced that each resident received good personal and individual support. Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Three residents files were examined, each was very well organised and contained a comprehensive, up to date and detailed picture of all aspects of the resident’s life. The files showed how residents were placed at the centre of the care planning process and that, where possible, they had indicated their involvement and agreement by their signature. All necessary documentation, including relevant “Looked After Children” documentation was in place and upto-date. Care plans, which had been developed with the co-operation of relatives and appropriate professionals, had been individually tailored to meet the needs and aspirations of the individual; it was evident that staff encouraged and supported residents to be involved at an appropriate level in the development of their own plan and to make decisions about their own lives. Considerable effort had been made to try to make the plans meaningful to the individual resident. The 24 hour care plan was a very easy to read document making use of coloured icons and simple language. Designed to be written at a level appropriate to the comprehension of the individual resident it was however acknowledged by the manager that in some cases the resident, because of his/her level of disability, would not be able to derive great benefit from it – nevertheless the document was a valuable quick and easy to read reference that provided staff with a thumbnail sketch of the residents needs, wishes, likes/dislikes and daily routines etc. Thorough initial assessments were carried out covering all aspects of the resident’s life: mobility, personal care, feeding, communication etc. Continuous monitoring and re-assessment ensured changing needs were identified and met. Comprehensive and detailed risk assessments were conducted and risk management strategies put in place. Residents were always consulted about issues affecting their lives and were helped to make their needs and wishes known. For those residents without speech, alternative means of communication were used: pointing, gesture, facial expression, signing etc. Circles of support had been developed and where a resident because of his/her level of disability was unable to contribute to the plan or be involved in the decision making process family members and appropriate others had contributed towards and approved the plan. Regular reviews of care, including “Looked After Children” reviews, were held to which all interested parties were invited. Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 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): 11,12,13,14,15,16,17 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents were treated with respect and were presented with opportunities to lead fulfilling lives. Staff enabled residents to continue with their education and encouraged and supported them to take part in appropriate leisure activities in the home and in the local and wider community. Residents were supported to develop and maintain family and friendship links. EVIDENCE: Care plans showed residents were encouraged and supported to develop their skills, to lead satisfying lives and to achieve as much independence as possible.
Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Opportunity was provided for each resident to take part in a wide range of appropriate leisure activities both in-house and in the community: TV & videos, music, joining in with action songs, cooking, ball games, playing in the garden (especially the paddling pool), bike riding, swimming, walks around neighbourhood, shopping, visits to youth clubs, trips in the car to the seaside, cinema, theatre, “Wet & Wild” etc. Care plans also contained information about the educational needs of the residents, including Statements of Special Educational Needs and school reports where applicable. There was evidence of close co-operation between the home and the relevant educational establishment. Each resident received staff support to enable them to continue their education either at school or a college of further education. One resident told the inspector he was still happy with his placement at Saxon Lodge and “had no problems with the staff – they’re a good bunch here.” He said he was being helped to achieve the skills and independence necessary for him to be able to live by himself in the community. He said that his name had been placed on the council waiting list for a flat. At a previous inspection he had told the inspector that he was not very happy with his college placement as the groups were too large and he found the noise distracting, however now that he was a member of a smaller quieter group he was much more settled. He said that he had an electrically operated wheelchair and was able to go out by himself into the town and to visit friends. Although, because of their poor verbal skills, many of the residents were unable to tell the inspector if they were happy living at Saxon Lodge it was apparent there was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the home and that residents appeared at ease with staff. Daily records and conversation with members of staff indicated routines were flexible, promoted independence and individual choice and encouraged residents to participate in the day-to-day running of the home at an appropriate level and within the framework of individual plans and risk assessments. Staff recognised the importance of residents maintaining contact with family and friends and helped them to keep in touch by assisting with telephone calls and sending cards for special occasions such as Christmas and birthdays. A relative of one of the residents made the following comments: “The staff are always welcoming, myself and the rest of my family feel as if we are visiting X’s own home – we all feel comfortable………. We are often given drinks and meals, my father and I had our Christmas dinner here……..They keep in touch by letter and telephone calls and invite us to meetings……… There is always something going on such as Halloween and New Years Eve parties……… The food is good - there is a wide variety.” The relative told the inspector that staff would transport his sister to and from the family home for visits.
Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The four-week menu and the record of food served showed residents were offered an imaginative, varied and balanced diet. Healthy eating was promoted and alternatives were always available should someone not wish to have the dish of the day.

Saxon Lodge DS0000062752.V315774.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Conversation with members of staff and examination of care plans revealed an awareness of providing personal support in a sensitive and flexible manner; and of consulting with residents and supporting them to maintain as much independence and control over their own care as was possible. None of the residents had been assessed as being able to control their own medication. All medicines were stored appropriately in a secure facility and administered according to the homes policy and procedures by staff who had undergone suitable training.
