Prospective service users individual aspirations and needs are assessed prior to admission. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has developed improved processes for the assessment of service users referred to the home. There has been one new admission since the last inspection and the individual service user plan for this individual was examined. It demonstrated that a clear and thorough assessment had taken place prior to moving into the home. Information was on file provided by the care manager and care team including background information, the most recent care plan and risk assessments. The registered manager had also completed the home’s own assessment form, which covers the needs and aspirations of the service user in good detail. There was also the opportunity to speak with the service user’s care manager who stated that she was pleased with the progress made and the quality of care in the home adding that the staff in the home have worked closely with the care team to ensure that appropriate boundaries have been adhered to and the programme of care has been followed. Adequate information was also on file in respect of the service users living in the home wit updated care planning information and assessments in place.

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 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users have an individual plan of care developed. Residents are able to make decisions affecting their lives. Individuals are supported to take responsible risks. EVIDENCE: 3 individual service user files were examined during the visit all of which contained adequate plans of care addressing individual needs. A pen portrait has been developed providing a good overview of each service users general needs, likes and other relevant information. A plan of care has also been developed addressing needs and aspirations in adequate detail, containing sufficient guidance for staff to consistently meet individual needs. The plans are hand written and were, at times, difficult to decipher, which may bear some consideration. All plans showed evidence of regular review. Service users spoken to stated that they felt enabled to make decisions regarding their day-to-day lives. Where restrictions on individual actions or Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 decisions are made these are in conjunction with the professional care team and service users and clearly documented. Service users are supported to manage their own finances commensurate with their skills and abilities in this area. The provider does act as an appointee for some individuals, but all resident finances are managed within individual accounts and clear records are maintained in respect of all transactions. The registered manager has continued to develop the risk management process and adequate risk assessments were in place within all service user files viewed. The risk assessments were individualised and linked to the care management information on file. The nature of the assessments were positive and designed to enable service users rather than restrict and limit actions. The risk assessments showed evidence of regular review.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users have opportunities to participate in appropriate leisure and occupational activities in the home and wider community. Standards 15, 16 and 17 were fully assessed at the previous inspection. A summary of that information is included. EVIDENCE: A number of the service users attend local day centres up to 5 times per week providing the opportunity to participate in educational and occupational activities. The registered manager has discussed additional activities with some of the older service users, but due to reduced mobility and individual choices they have decided at this time that they do not wish to attend any external groups. Discussions were held with these individuals who confirmed that they are happy with current opportunities available to them in the home. One resident said, “I don’t get out anymore, but I don’t want to, I’m happy staying in with my friends.” Nevertheless it is advised that this situation should be kept Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 under review and further discussed with the residents concerned at regular intervals. Refer to recommendation 1. Service users stated that they had activities in the home that they were happy to participate in including cross-stitch, arts and crafts, cooking, going out for walks, listening to music, watching television and seasonal events. Similarly, the range of available and structured activities in the home should be kept under review to ensure that residents have the opportunity to participate in alternative pastimes should they wish to do so. It was noted that this had been discussed in resident meetings and should remain as a regular agenda item. Refer to recommendation 2. Service users stated that any friends and family are welcomed into the home, although it was also reported that not many people have a great deal of visitors. One resident said “This is my family, we’re all friends and we get on very well.” She went on to add, “It would be nice to have some new people move in though.” Service users confirmed that staff respect their individual rights and freedom. “The staff are lovely, they help whenever I need anything.” Staff were observed to be respectful of individuals space and spoke to residents in a caring and thoughtful manner. All service user’s rooms are lockable, but noone chooses to lock their rooms. Residents can take part in household tasks if they wish to do so and some have regular tasks that they choose to take part in. Menu records were viewed, which show that a healthy, balanced diet is provided. A good range of food was available in the home including fresh fruit and vegetables along with a range of reasonable quality frozen foods and other non-perishables. All of the service users commented that the food was good and that they could choose what they wanted to eat if they did not like what was on the menu. Mealtimes are taken in an unhurried and relaxed atmosphere and service users can choose when and where to eat. Staff also showed an awareness of the likes and dislikes of service users in this regard and of any specific nutritional needs.

All appointments and consultations are recorded with any outcomes or actions documented. Letters of appointment are retained on file and corresponded with other records kept. Service users stated that they felt if they had a healthcare problem the staff in the home would support them and deal with it appropriately. Complimentary healthcare needs are met such as visits from a chiropodist, to dentists and opticians etc. One healthcare professional visiting the home said that, “Mr Sheikh (registered manager) works positively with us and is willing to take on new ideas. We’ve found the care to be excellent and staff follow the structured plans.” Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Medication records and storage facilities were reviewed and demonstrated that safe working practices in this area are adhered to. Staff have received training in basic administration techniques and all of the care workers are trained nurses from China. The home has adequate policies and procedures in place, which should remain under review in line with current practice and guidance. Staff provide service users with sensitive and dignified personal support. It was evident in discussion with two of the staff on duty that they have a good awareness of the individual personal support needs and preferences of each of the service users. The service user plans, although in need of some updating, satisfactorily address the main care needs of residents and provide clear guidance on the methods by which people wish to be assisted. One service user said “The staff are very helpful and they help me with my bath when I need it.” Another resident stated that “We very happy, we get everything we need.” Service users can choose when they get up and go to bed and there is a reasonable level of flexibility within the daily routines to enable freedom of choice.

EVIDENCE: There is an adequate complaints process in place covering all relevant topics. A copy of this is provided in the service user’s guide and is on display within the home. It was reported that there have been no complaints since the last inspection. A complaints book is in place to record issues of note and demonstrate the actions taken. Service users stated that they felt comfortable in raising concerns with the registered manager and staff. The home has adequate policies and procedures in place addressing issues of abuse and adult protection, which include a whistle-blowing policy. Issues of abuse are addressed through the induction process. Two staff have attended courses recently covering adult protection issues and abuse awareness. In discussion with staff there was a reasonable awareness of what action would be required should they witness or suspect abuse. Policies and practices with regard to the handling of service users money and valuables, safe storage and access to records is adequate.

It was noted that there is a step down from the kitchen to the rear annexe of the home, which may now pose a health and safety risk for the service users that live on the ground floor due to their reduced mobility. It is advised that this should be reviewed and consideration for a graded incline or ramp being fitted if practicable. Refer to recommendation 3. The home was in a state of good repair, clean, hygienic and free from offensive odours. The laundry facilities have been updated and provide a more hygienic Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 and appropriate setting.

EVIDENCE: The registered manager has employed staff through an overseas agency. All of the staff have achieved nursing qualifications in China and the registered manager has received written evidence stating that these staff members qualifications are equivalent to NVQ level 3. It was, nevertheless, advised at the previous inspection that care staff from overseas should be enabled to complete the Learning Disability Award Framework training and evidence was available that this is being instituted. Service users were very positive about the quality of the care staff making comments such as “the staff are lovely, they always have a smile on their faces” and “they help me whenever I need it, they are really good.” A visiting professional added that “I feel the staff are Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 very caring, they implement the plans of care we have worked on and keep us informed of any issues.” Discussions were held with both staff members on duty who have developed a good understanding of the needs of the service users, were seen to interact in a positive and caring manner and were aware of emergency procedures and other aspects of the day to day running of the home in the absence of the registered manager. It is recommended that all care staff continue to progress through the LDAF training with a view to commencing National Vocational Qualifications in the future. Refer to recommendation 4. There are two members of staff on duty at all times throughout the day and 1 sleep-in staff member at night.

The registered manager has worked positively to provide and update the training for all staff members working in the home. A range of courses have been offered through established training providers since the last inspection. All staff who have worked in the home for over 6 months have completed all mandatory training courses and additional training such as adult protection and medication training. Newer staff are currently being enabled to achieve these training targets and were attending mandatory training courses at the time of the inspection visit. It was not possible to fully assess the progress in respect of developing induction training in line with the Common Induction Standards, although staff reported that this work was on-going. This will be fully assessed at the next inspection visit. Recruitment processes are adequate and the majority of relevant information was retained on file. All documentation relating to the employment of overseas workers appeared to be in place and up to date. A CRB check for one member of staff was yet to be received, but evidence of a POVA check for this individual was on file. Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home.

Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 and42 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users benefit from a well run home. There are adequate quality monitoring systems in place. The health, safety and welfare of service users is promoted and protected. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has a number of years of experience owning and managing in the care setting and working with people with learning disabilities. He has achieved his NVQ level 4/RMA and has relevant qualifications in business management. The home does not have a formal system of quality assurance in place as the registered manager is also the homeowner. However, it could be demonstrated that plans are in place to develop the service and monitoring of aspects of the running of the home takes place. This was evident in regard to the Sea View Lodge DS0000023424.V314407.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 environment, documentation and future service developments. The registered manager has completed surveys of service user satisfaction and plans to compile these into a qualitative annual report. All records available in respect of health and safety issues in the home were seen to be up to date and well maintained. These included accident logs and fire safety records. Some records were not available for examination due to the registered manager not being present at the time of the visit. These records included service contracts and some safety certificates. Staff demonstrated a keen awareness of health and safety issues affecting the home and could demonstrate examples where appropriate action has been taken to preserve the welfare of individual service users. The home has adequate policies and procedures in place covering safe working practices, which are reviewed and updated on an annual basis.
