What the care home does well

The home provides informal support and encouragement for the residents to be as independent as possible within a small family based home environment. All of the residents are physically mobile and able to make decisions about their daily living activities. The residents do voluntary work or take part in organised recreational and social activities offered locally. Residents stated they were very happy and there was nothing they wanted to change. The comment card received from one relative stated that he was happy with the overall care provided for his relative and had no concerns or complaints. The manager provides the majority of care and is supported by her husband, and by a part time domestic and one part time carer who works flexibly as the service requires. The service has a live-in Japanese student who assists the manager with some domestic and care activities. The staffing arrangements ensures a high level of continuity for the residents.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the previous inspection all the ground floor rooms have been redecorated to a high standard. The manager has completed her Registered Managers Award and continues to attend relevant courses and training.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

New residents would have the opportunity to visit the home on a number of occasions prior to making a decision to move into the home. EVIDENCE: At the time of the inspection the home had one vacancy, with the existing residents having lived at the home for at least two years or more. The inspector discussed with the manager the actions she would take should a new resident be referred to the home. The manager was clear about the need to ensure that she obtained full information from as may sources as possible about any prospective resident. Prospective admissions would be discussed with existing service users and if it was felt that their needs could be met then they would be invited to visit the home on a number of occasions prior to making a decision about moving in. The manager was clear that existing residents views, and reactions/interactions with the prospective resident during visits, would be taken fully into consideration when a final decision is made Taunton House DS0000012544.V327194.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 about a new admission. The manager was aware about the homes registration categories and the level of needs the home could meet. All new admissions are initially for a one month trial period. The home has comprehensive preadmission assessment tools available for use as part of the pre-assessment process. There have been no previous concerns about the statement of purpose, service users guide or contracts. Therefore these documents were not viewed and the relevant standards not assessed.

The homes domestic cleans the en-suite facilities. Discusion’s with residents about their money indicated that they are able to spend their money as they wish. The manager is not appointee for any residents however she supports two residents to manage their personal allowance. The records and storage facilities seen are appropriate. As a small family run home, the daily routines are informally agreed and usually residents get together each day for their evening meal, this provides an opportunity for the residents to socialise and discuss day-to-day issues that may arise. Ad hoc residents meetings are organised should the manager wish to discuss specific issues with all residents.

The registered manager has many years of experience working in care and has completed the Registered Managers Award and NVQ level 4 in Care. Whenever Taunton House DS0000012544.V327194.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 the opportunity arises, the manager likes to update her professional knowledge and has attended training in respect of challenging behaviour, the Mental Capacity Act, medication and fire risk assessment. The manager is due to attend adult protection update training in March. The manager is a member of, and attends meetings for, the Isle of Wight care homes association and is able to access information and support from this association. From observations of the interaction between the manager and the residents it is evident that he manager has an open and friendly approach and is accessible for the residents to seek advice and support. The inspector spoke with all four people who live at the home. Discussions indicated that they are all able to make choices and decisions in respect of their daily lives. Most evenings all residents eat their evening meal together and this provides an opportunity to socialise and discuss any issues. The inspector viewed minutes of the occasional residents meetings that are held ‘ad hoc’ if the manager feels there is a specific issue or issues to discuss, however most issues are discussed informally which is appropriate for the size of home and service user group. A copy of relevant information and policies and procedures is kept in the residents lounge. Formal systems of quality assurance or customer satisfaction are not appropriate in this family run home but it is evident that the residents are consulted on a daily basis. The manager ensures that residents have a regular review of their care needs with members of the community team. The residents are aware of fire safety and respect the house rules for smoking only in designated ground floor areas. The manager has completed a fire risk assessment and fire detection systems are checked at regular intervals. The manager considers potential risks new service users may pose to existing service users as part of the pre-admission assessment process. There were no concerns noted by the inspector in relation to health and safety during the visit to the home.
