This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The focus of inspections undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) is upon outcomes for service users and their views of the service provided. This process considers the care home’s capacity to meet regulatory requirements, minimum standards of practice and focuses on aspects of service provisions that need further development. Prior to the inspection visit the manager had forwarded to the Commission a pre-inspection questionnaire, a staffing rota, training records and menu records for the home. Service user and relative questionnaires were sent out however none were returned. All pre-requested documentation returned was examined as part of the inspection process and the evaluation included in this report. The inspection visit was unannounced and took place on Saturday, March 10, 2007 at 02.00 pm and ended at 3.15pm. The inspection involved: • • • Discussions with a service user and the carer on duty at the time. Observation of working practices and of the interaction between the service user and staff member. One service user was identified for close examination by reading their, care plan, risk assessments, daily records and other relevant information. This is part of a process known as ‘case tracking’ where evidence is matched to outcomes for service users. A tour of the environment was undertaken, and home records were sampled, including staff training, health and safety, rotas, quality assurance records and fire records. • I would like to thank the service user and staff for their hospitality and cooperation during the inspection visit. What the service does well:
The people living in this home are supported by a fully committed staff team to lead purposeful and fulfilling lives as independently as possible. They are able to make their own decisions about what they want to do and to take risks in their daily lives. Service user’s rights and responsibilities are promoted properly in the care planning process and they are involved in the decisions being made about their future, their safety and their health-care.
SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 The service aims to ensure that service users have a good understanding of decisions being made about them and information about life in the home and as part of this all care plans, care records, policies and procedures are available to service users in symbol and large print formats. People living in the home are encouraged to see it as their own. It is a very well maintained, attractive home and has very good access to the community facilities and services. Comments from service users included; • • • • I wanted to come and live in this home. I am very happy. The home is always clean and fresh because I help to keep it clean. I am happy and enjoy my life. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

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 SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.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): Standards 1 and 5. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Information about life in the home is available to prospective service users in symbol and large print format, which would enable them to make a decision about living in the home. Service users can be sure that they will have an up-to-date written contract in a style that enables them to understand their rights and responsibilities when living there. EVIDENCE: There have been no new people admitted to the home for some time and therefore outcomes for any new person coming to live in the home could not be assessed. In the event of a prospective service user wishing to come and live in the home however they would have sufficient information in the statement of purpose and service user guide to enable them to make a choice about living there. The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide are in symbol and large print format, which would further support a prospective service user’s understanding of the services in the home.
SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The service user whose care was being looked at had an up-to-date contract on their care plan file, which had been signed by them. The information on the contract was in symbol and large print format, which was appropriate to the service user’s communication, needs and would support the understanding of their contractual agreement with the service. SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.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): Standards 6, 7 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The people living in this home are involved in decisions about their lives and are playing an active role in planning their care and the support they receive to meet identified needs. EVIDENCE: The care plan for the service user whose care was being case tracked was looked at with their permission. The care plan was in the newly introduced style entitled, This is My Service Plan, which has a summary at the front of the care plan in large print and symbol format to assist the service user’s understanding of the content of the document. The service user’s assessed needs had been identified and care plans were in place for each need and an action plan of how the objective was to be achieved. There was clear guidance in the action plan for staff to follow to ensure that needs would be met safely and care would be consistent.
SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 It was noted that on each care plan for the service user their specific dementia care needs had been considered and staff had guidelines how to support the dementia care needs alongside other care needs that had been identified. This is good practice in care planning and the key worker is to be commended for this. The service user’s changing needs due to their dementia has been monitored closely and this has included a referral for a social worker assessment, advice and guidance through the referral process from a dementia consultants and communication advice regarding dementia from speech and language therapists. A multi-disciplinary review was held in November 2006, which included family members of the service user, and planning is now taking place for the service user to move to a more suitable environment that will meet their changing needs. Staff said that the service user is beginning to make visits to their planned new environment and that the people they will be living with are already known to them. Service user meetings are conducted with them on a monthly basis and records looked at show that they are always asked if they know who to talk to if they are not happy and whether they feel they are allowed privacy and time alone. The record shows that home issues are discussed with them and their responses are recorded in the house meeting minutes. A staff member said, We have meetings with service users together and we ask for individual comments however, if the service user wants to say something in private to us they have the space to do so. Independence is promoted strongly within the home and this includes management of service user’s money. The support a service user requires in managing their finances is documented on their care plan. Care plans show that risks for individuals have been identified and staff have clear information on the care plan how risks can be minimised. Risk assessments are in symbol format, which enable service users to understand the risks they may encounter during their daily activities, and in the community.

There are two other people who live in the home, one person was out shopping and the other was spending the weekend with their family. The service user at home, and staff, talked about the activities that people enjoy and this included their day services, attending craft clubs and a Fab

Care plan diaries show that each service user has a particular household task that they are responsible for and they have chosen these themselves during resident meetings. Comments received from service users on pre- inspection information requested included: I go horse riding on Thursdays. I visit my mum some weekends and some Saturdays my mum visits me here. I visit my boyfriend and I go to the pub with some of the of the care workers. In the evenings I sometimes like to have a quiet time in my bedroom. I am happy and enjoy my life. Staff spoken with said that one of the things they feel they do well as a team is supporting service users to get out and about. The care planning for the service user whose care was being ‘tracked’ also included a care plan for promoting their personal values, beliefs and relationships.

Although a mealtime was not observed pre-inspection information received regarding the food provision in the home showed that food provided is nutritious and well-balanced. All food being stored in the kitchen looked fresh and was well within the use by date SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 18, 19, 20 and 21. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The health and personal care that people in this home receive is based on their individual needs.

This includes seeing their GP, psychologist, dentist, optician and chiropodist. There is evidence that continence advice has been sought and the service user has opportunity to access screening clinics and to have flu vaccination each winter. The service user whose care was being looked at was quite happy to talk about their specific health care needs and was obviously fully informed about the changes taking place regarding her mental health care. They said that they
SCIC - Drayton Avenue, 184 DS0000004467.V324503.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 visit the doctor and nurse regularly and commented, I used to forget things but Im getting better, it must be the tablets. Service user’s consent is sought for the management of their medicine. The consent form is in symbol and large print format, which enables the service user to understand why they are having their medicine and what this, will be. Examination of medication administration records, (Mar Chart), the medicine cabinet and discussion with staff on duty at the time indicate that generally medicine is managed safely for service users. Staff must be mindful however to ensure that the record is maintained of the quantity of all medicines in the home and to date all creams when they are opened. The home has reviewed its medication storage and a single locked cabinet is now in place for the storing of medicines only. A care plan document has been devised, in symbol and large print format to record the wishes of service users in the event of the death. Staff on duty at the time demonstrated an understanding of the importance of documenting this information and also of the sensitivity of the issue being discussed.
