This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was a routine unannounced site visit, which took place during the day on the 25th July 2007. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment, four residents surveys, one care manager’s survey and two relatives’ surveys were returned to the inspector before the site visit. These, together with the site visit, were the main sources of information for the key inspection. During the site visit the inspector interviewed the manager and two members of staff; spoke with two residents; toured the premises; looked at records; case tracked; and observed the interaction between residents and staff. Three outcome groups were judged to be good and five to be adequate. Seven requirements and four recommendations were made. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Follow the safeguarding younger adults procedures; record the administration of medication accurately; keep all areas of the home clean and hygienic; ensure the self-closing mechanisms shut all the fire doors completely; address

Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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): 18, 19 and 20. People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. Residents receive personal support in the way they prefer and require; and their physical and emotional health needs are well met. The home has appropriate medication policies and procedures but the recording in the MAR sheets was poor and a discrepancy was found between the number of tablets in stock and the number recorded. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Residents get up and go to bed when they wish, choose what they wear, and where possible choose the member of staff they wish to accompany them out of the home. Guidelines covering all aspects of the service users’ personal support needs were seen. Specialist support is provided as required i.e. speech therapy, physiotherapy and occupational therapy. In response to the question in the relatives’ questionnaire ‘does the care home give the support or care to your relative that you expect or agreed?’ the relative replied ‘usually’. The diverse needs of the service users are addressed on an individual basis.
Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 All the files contained appropriate monitoring charts, records of appointments and behavioural guidelines, which showed the residents’ physical and emotional health are being well monitored, responded to appropriately and any problems are being promptly addressed. Residents are encouraged to exercise by going for walks, having individual exercise programmes or using exercise bikes. Health professionals, such as psychiatrists and psychologists, are involved when necessary. In response to the question in the care manager’s survey ‘are individuals’ health care needs properly monitored and attended to by the care service?’ the care manager replied ‘always’. None of the service users self-administer their medication except one resident when on antibiotics. Self-medication guidelines are in place. No controlled drugs are on the premises. Appropriate medication policies and procedures are in place, including for the administration of PRN medication. A pharmacist visits the home once a year to inspect the storage, administration, recording and disposal of the medication. In response to the question in the care manager’s survey ‘does the care service support individuals to administer their own medication or manage it correctly where this is not possible?’ the care manager replied ‘always’. No record of any staff trained in administering medication was seen. Gaps were found in the administration records. An error was found in the running record of a resident’s medication and on further examination the number of tablets in stock was seven less than recorded on the MAR sheet. Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23. People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. Residents feel their views are listened to and acted on. Staff have received safeguarding younger adults training and appropriate procedures are in place. However the organisation did not follow these procedures when an allegation of abuse against a resident was made. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: There is a comprehensive complaints procedure in place but no complaints procedure in a user-friendly format for residents. The majority of residents have very limited verbal skills and would find it difficult to complain directly. Staff observe behaviour to determine if a resident is unhappy. Residents are invited to staff meetings so that any concerns may be raised. No complaints to the Commission have been made since the last inspection. One complaint has been made to the home since the last inspection. This was responded to appropriately. In response to the question in the relatives’ survey ‘do you know how to make a complaint?’ the relatives replied ‘yes’. In response to questions in the care manager’s survey, ‘has the care service responded appropriately if you or a person using the service have raised any concerns? the care manager replied ‘always’. In response to the questions in the residents survey, ‘do you know who to speak to if you are not happy?’ and ‘do you know how to make a complaint?’ all four residents replied ‘yes’.
Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 A safeguarding younger adults’ policy, a challenging behaviour policy and a physical intervention policy are in place. Staff have received training in safeguarding younger adults and non-physical intervention. Staff spoken to were clear about protection issues and responding to challenging behaviour ensuring respect and dignity. No allegations of abuse have been made to the Commission since the last inspection. The commission was not informed of a recent allegation by a resident to the organisation that a member of staff shouted and hit another resident. The organisation has started an internal inquiry but not informed outside agencies as laid down by the safeguarding younger adults procedures. All the residents have individual bank accounts. Four residents withdraw money themselves. The manager and one other sign to withdraw money on behalf of two residents. Personal money, up to £24, is kept for residents in individual wallets in the safe. A member of staff from the head office audits the personal money records once a year. The manager audits the records on a regular basis. Residents, who are able, look after small amounts of personal money themselves. Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment
The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 and 30. People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. The home is spacious and many areas have been decorated in the last year. However there were numerous examples of decoration, maintenance and renewal issues that need addressing. The home was generally clean and hygienic but cobwebs and spiders were observed in several corners of a resident’s bedroom. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home is spacious, accessible to all residents and during the last year, two bedrooms, the lounge, dining room, kitchen and utility room have been decorated. However there were numerous examples of decoration, maintenance and renewal issues that need to be addressed i.e. the skirting boards in the dining room and bathroom need painting; several bedrooms need decorating; some rooms had holes in walls where shelves used to be fitted which need filling and painting; door locks were broken and needed repairing; several of the curtains were torn and broken from their runners; there was a noticeable gap between the lino and the toilet in the upstairs
Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 bathroom; a large stain in the lounge carpet; a dining room chair cover was torn; a curtain left off the vinyl strip; the ceiling in the upstairs bathroom is badly stained; a small area of bare plaster in a resident’s bedroom needs painting; the surrounds of a resident’s door needs repairing; several doors are badly marked and need painting; and the back of the building needs clearing and cleaning up. It is acknowledged that the behaviour of one resident can be destructive but it does not account for all the issues listed. Where this resident is responsible a more robust response should be made, as it is not acceptable for the other residents to live in a poorly maintained environment. The home was generally clean, hygienic and free of offensive odours except for one resident’s bedroom where cobwebs and spiders were seen in several corners of his room. In response to the question in the residents’ survey ‘is the home fresh and clean?’ all four residents replied ‘yes’. Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing
The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 34 and 35. People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. An effective, competent and qualified staff team generally support the residents fairly, equally, without discrimination and in a caring manner. The one exception was a member of staff who made no effort to interact with residents when in the lounge. The home operates a thorough recruitment procedure. Staff receive a broad range of training which would be improved if Learning Disability Award Framework training was incorporated in the induction/foundation training programme and staff received medication training. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: 53 of the care staff have a NVQ 2 or above in care. In response to the questions in the care manager’s survey ‘do the service’s manager and staff have the right skills and experience to support individuals’ social and health care needs?’ and ‘does the care service respond to the different needs of individual people?’ the care manager replied ‘usually’. The care manager commented ‘the service user I have placed at Tudor House has severe learning disabilities, autism and challenging behaviour. They manage
Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 his care extremely well and in a very gentle caring manner. They are encouraging his independence skills’. In response to the questions in the relatives’ survey ‘do you feel that the care home meets the needs of your relative?’, ‘does the care staff have the right skills and experience to look after people properly?’ and ‘does the care service meet the different needs of the people?’ the relative replied ‘usually’. Staff interviewed demonstrated a sound knowledge of the residents’ disabilities and needs Residents interviewed said ‘staff on the whole are OK’, ‘I like all the staff’ and ‘staff are very good’. One member of staff was observed sitting in the lounge watching the TV with two other residents but making no attempt to interact with them. There is a good ratio of staff to residents. Three care staff are on duty from 7.30 am to 10.00 pm with an extra member of staff on duty between 9.00am to 4.30pm. Bank staff will be on duty if the need arises i.e. if residents go out to activities in the community. One member of staff is on duty at night with back up from a ‘sleep in’ care staff. Staff sickness is low. Records showed the organisation complies with the recruitment regulations. All new staff undertake an induction training programme. All staff have received basic training and training in key areas of their work except in administering medication where no evidence of appropriate training taking place could be found. Refresher training of key areas of work takes place. Other courses that staff have attended have been autism, report writing, values and principles, communication and recording, and sexuality. The manager is planning to send the majority of her staff on the sexuality training course. Staff said they considered training equipped them to undertake their work The Learning Disability Award Framework training is not incorporated into the induction/foundation training programme.

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 are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 and 42. People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. The manager is qualified, competent and experienced to run the home; a quality assurance and quality monitoring system is in place which needs improving; and the health, safety and welfare of residents are promoted and protected except for the fire doors of which several do not close properly. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The registered manager is qualified, competent and experienced to run the home. She has been the manager for the past six years. The manager undertakes periodic training to maintain and update her knowledge and skills. Staff described the manager as supportive, approachable and clear in how she wants the clients cared for. Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Satisfaction questionnaires were sent out to residents, relatives and care managers in June 2006. The manager plans to make the questionnaire more user friendly. An annual development plan has been produced which identifies areas that need addressing to improve the quality of care for the residents. Monthly staff meetings take place where residents are invited to part of the meeting. Regulation 26 visits take place but they need to be more detailed to cover all the standards in the course of a year. Records showed all health and safety checks and inspections are up to date and completed as required. Necessary health and safety policies and procedures are in place. The manager undertakes a monthly health and safety audit of the home. The home’s fire risk assessment has not been reviewed since 2005. All the service users’ files contained appropriate risk assessments and had been reviewed regularly. All the staff have received the necessary health and safety training including first aid. Several of the automatic closure mechanisms failed to shut the fire doors completely. Tudor House - Pangbourne DS0000011174.V342283.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
