Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 star. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. Before the visit: We looked at: • Information we have received since the home opened. • How the service dealt with any complaints, concerns and safeguarding issues. • Any changes to how the home is run. • The provider’s view of how well they care for people. • The views of people who use the service and the staff. The Visit: An unannounced visit was made on 22nd May 2008 and another visit was made on the 28th May 2008. During the visit we: • • • • • • • • • Talked with the staff and the manager. Spoke to some of the people who live at the home (some of the people do not use speech as their main means of communication so not all of them were spoken too). Observed the people who live at the home. Looked at information about the people who use the service & how well their needs are met, Looked at other records which must be kept, Checked to see if the staff had the knowledge, skills & training to meet the needs of the people they care for, Looked around the building to make sure it was clean, safe & comfortable, Looked at information from the surveys that had been returned, Checked what improvements had been made since the last visit. We told the manager what we found: What the service does well: Each person who lives at the home has had their needs assessed to make sure the home can give them the care and support they need. Information is available to help people make an informed choice about the service before they decide to use it. Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 All of the people have care plans which give some information to staff about how to support them and meet their needs. The staff at the home treat the people as individuals and support them to live the life they choose as much as possible, so they will have new experiences and know that their opinions are valued. People who live at the home experience a variety of activities. This gives them choice, as well as building their self-esteem and confidence. The home is clean, warm and pleasantly furnished so the people who use the service have a comfortable place to live. The home has procedures for staff for the administration and recording of medication. This is to make sure the people who live at the home receive their medication when they need it and at the correct times. The home has procedures for dealing with complaints so any disputes are settled quickly so good relationships are maintained. The home has adult protection policies and procedures for the staff to follow so they can protect the people who live there and keep them safe. Sufficient staff are employed at the home to meet the diverse needs of the people who live there. The staff are supervised and trained so they know how to provide the people who live at the home with good care. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: If all of the meals served at the home to each person were recorded people would be able to check that they are all eating a well-balanced nutritious diet. This will help them to remain healthy. Care plans should have enough detail to let staff know how to meet the peoples needs and support them in the way they would like at the same time promoting each person independence. If all of the repairs were carried out when needed this will make the home a more safe place for the people to live. If all staff receive training and know and understand the homes safeguarding procedures thoroughly this will help them keep the people at the home safe. Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 Reports from unannounced monitoring visits should be sent to the home every month so the manager can make sure that any recommendations are acted upon so the people at the home continue to receive a good service.

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): 2. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Comprehensive assessments are carried out before people receive the service, so plans can be made to make sure they get the care and support they need. EVIDENCE: The manager said that the people who live at the home have had their needs assessed before and after they move in. They assess people when they move into the home and their care plans are based on what they find. A person can only move into the home if the manager is certain that their needs can be met there. If a person decides to move into the home they can visit before they move in permanently, so they can be gradually introduced to the other people who live there. Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.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): 6, 7 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has care plans for each person who lives at the home. Some of the care plans do not have enough detail to inform staff fully how to meet the needs of the people whom live there. People are supported to become more independent but at the same time staff look at the risks to keep them as safe as possible. EVIDENCE: The manager said that they consult the people at the home as much as possible about their care plans. Records showed that each person has a care plan and individual communication programmes which the speech and language therapist has developed for them. Daily events are recorded in files and the care plans are reviewed. It was not clear how staff monitored the progress people were making at the home. Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Staff and the manager could describe how they work consistently with the people at the home but this was not recorded in sufficient detail in the care plans. For example one person care plan said “needs maximum support when washing their hair” but the plan did not go on to say how staff were to do this or if male or female staff were required to carry out this task. Another said that at times one person at the home needs “counselling from staff” but again did not go on to inform staff how to do this or in fact if staff had had any training in counselling. This was discussed with the manager who agreed that this should be changed in the care plan. Another person uses a communication aid but details were not recorded to inform staff how to support them to use this. The manager said that they are developing personal centred plans, which they hope will support the people who live at the home to make more decisions for themselves. This would also enable people who don’t use verbal communication to take part in reviews by using visual information. Staff said that the people who live at the home are given choices as much as possible. They take part in planning the activities but may not understand fully due to their disability. Their timetable showed that they had different individual activities and people were out on various activities on the day of the visit. One person had gone out for their lunch another was going shopping. People were observed going out .One person said, “I go out a lot” and “ I am going on holiday”. The manager and staff said that they consult the people who live at the home as much as possible. They observe their facial expressions and gestures to see if they are enjoying something or not. The manager said that they intend to look at different ways to make information more accessible to the people who live at the home such as easy to read formats and using pictorial images. The home has some general risk assessments about the home itself and also individual ones to support the people to have a more independent lifestyle. Reasons for any restrictions on the person’s movements were not recorded in the plan for instance if they cannot leave the home with out staff supervision. The manager said that they are in the process of completing this in all of the care plans. Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People at the home are supported by staff that value them, while maintaining links with their families and friends. This means they can have new experiences and interests and do not become isolated. People have a choice of nutritious meals records of food served are not kept so staff will find it difficult to monitor if people are eating well. EVIDENCE: The manager said they provide the people with structured and predictable activities in the home and in the community. Staff said that the people are given choices as much as possible. They have different activities and go out most days; some were going out on the day of the visit. The people were generally unable to comment on what they thought of their activities. One person said “I always like every single activity apart from walking” and “ I would like to see if I can think of new places in the holidays”. When asked if Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 they go out a lot and can choose where they go to they replied yes and then went onto say “ I am getting sick of going just for a walk”. The manager said that the people at the home go out for meals, swimming and to the cinema if they choose to. Daily records show details of activities that had take place. Sufficient staff were on duty to enable them to take part in activities. The manager said that they arrange holidays and days out and that they actively seek new experiences for people to promote their independence. The manager said that daily routines within the home are structured around the people who live there. One person said when asked if they were involved in looking after the home said “ I help the staff the most to clean it”. Staff were observed supporting people to clean their rooms. The manager said that staff are trained to promote the independence, rights and choices of the people who live at the home. Staff said that they respect the privacy and they are aware of their rights of the people at the home. They said and were observed knocking at people’s bedrooms doors and asking if they could enter. The people at the home looked relaxed and comfortable with the staff. A good-humoured rapport was observed between them. Staff were also observed asking them what they would like to do before they went out. The manager said that the meals served at the home are what the people who live there are known to like. There is a set menu but this can be changed if people want something else. Records showed that staff are using pictures to support people make choices about what food they want to eat. They have a choice of meals but a record is not kept of the food served. This means that staff will not be able to monitor that people are eating a varied well balanced diet or if they are eating enough over a period of time. Stocks of food were adequate and there was fresh fruit and vegetables. People who live at the home can have snacks and drinks at any reasonable time. The manager said that they get an adequate amount of money to buy food. One person said “the food is nice” food served during the visit was well presented and fresh. The manager said and records showed that the people at the home are supported to keep in contact with their families and friends. They are encouraged to visit them as much as they want and staff support them to go out and visit their family and friends. Staff said that they regularly consult the person’s family about any issues at the home. Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.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): 18, 19 and 20. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People have personal support when they need it so they can be as independent as possible. Healthcare needs are met, which ensures that people stay healthy. EVIDENCE: The manager and staff are aware of the personal support that the people need with everyday tasks. Some need help with their personal hygiene but as stated earlier the care plans did not contain enough details about what they their needs are or how staff should support them. There is not sufficient information in the care plans for staff to support people appropriately if they have not worked with them before. This was discussed with the manager who said that they would rectify this. As some people are new to the service, as they have recently moved in, they are still assessing them. Specialist support is available from other services when required such as speech and language therapy and psychiatry. Community-nursing services are used when needed. The manager said that people have health checks when Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 they need them. Records showed that they had attended health appointments with staff. The manager demonstrated the medication systems in the home. Records are in use to monitor the administration of prescribed medicines. Staff who are authorised to administer medicines are listed in the file and there is a copy of their signature. Records showed and the manager said that all staff that administer medication have received training on how to do this safely. Staff who have not completed the training do not administer medication. Each person at the home has an individual medication plan with his or her photograph, as a safety measure. The manager said that the people at the home do not control their own medication. One person has asked to do so and a risk assessment is being carried out.

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. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A satisfactory complaints procedure is in place. This means that complaints should be dealt with effectively so people know that their comments are taken seriously. Satisfactory protection procedures are in place to protect the people at the home from risk of harm. But formal training has not yet been given to all staff at the home, which may mean that staff don’t recognise when to raise an alert. EVIDENCE: Policies and procedures are in place that demonstrates how the home responds to complaints. The manager said that the home had not had any formal complaints since it opened. Records showed that the manager records informal comments about the service. Staff actively encourage the people who live at the home and their families to tell them their opinions of the service as much as possible. All of the people have a copy of the complaints procedure and it is available in an easy to read format. Staff said that as some the people at the home have difficulty using speech so they have to use other ways to communicate with them. They watch for any changes in behaviour and observe facial expressions, as this often is a good indicator of whether someone is unhappy about something. The service currently has policies and procedures on safeguarding adults to inform staff what to do if they think a person at the home could be suffering Tyne and Wear Austic Society DS0000070829.V364792.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 from abuse. There is a copy of the Local Authorities safeguarding adult’s procedures in the office. Most staff and the manager could describe what actions they would take to safeguard the people who live at the home from potential abuse. Some staff, although they were aware of some of the actions were not absolutely clear about all of the homes procedures. The manager was informed of this and said they would make sure that all staff were aware of and understand the homes safeguarding procedures and it was planned that all staff will receive training. Staff said and records showed that staff receive training in safeguarding adults. Staff receive training in how manage peoples behaviour. The manager said and records showed that staff do not use physical intervention unless they have received training. Records showed that any physical intervention is written down by staff and then signed by the manager. Staff said that they have been trained and this is only used as a last resort.
