What the care home does well

The home provides a safe comfortable place for people to live in a small group living situation. During the time we spent at the home with staff and people using the service positive interaction was taking place with individuals responding warmly to staff. People looked well cared for and we observed that whilst there was no verbal communication, individuals were able to make staff understand what they wanted and if they did not like something. Individual accommodation is all at ground floor level. We visited bedrooms with people who wished to show us. Bedrooms were personalised and reflected the choices of the person occupying the room. The home has a Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide that provide information to prospective people who use the service and their relatives about the service the home is able to offer. People who use the service have a full assessment of their needs carried out prior to admission to ensure their needs can be met at The Bungalow. Details are recorded in care records of the arrangements in place for meeting the health and personal care needs of people using the service. A variety of social and educational opportunities are available for people using the service both at home and at the Day Learning Centre. There are several sport centres within a short distance from the home, providing a variety of leisure activities. There is a local provision for riding for the disabled and Cannock Chase is close by for walks.

It also gave us some numerical information about the service. What the service has told us about things that have happened in the service, these are called ‘notifications’ and are a legal requirement. The previous key inspection findings. Staff working at the home or people using the service returned no surveys to us. On arrival at The Bungalow the temporary care manager three support workers and the cook were on duty and five people using the service were at home. Arrangements for the day were discussed with us to enable us to talk to or observe and engage with individuals and for them to continue with their plans for the day. We engaged via signs and body language with two people using the service and reviewed their records in detail. Two staff records were examined, we interviewed both staff and observations were made of positive interaction between staff and young people during daily events. We have not received any complaints about the service. The Bungalow DS0000041185.V367843.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
