Brief IntroductionThe Inspector found a warm, relaxed environment. The Inspector observed the residents making full use of the communal lounge, and individual rooms had been personalised. The staff members present interacted positively with the residents, and were able to demonstrate their understanding of the needs of the persons accommodated. The requirements and recommendations from the previous inspection had all been implemented. Choice of Home (Standards 1-5) 5 of 5 standards assessed were met. A statement of purpose and service user guide has been developed and contains all components required in this standard. The Inspector saw that each resident has a copy of the resident guide in their room. A review of the care files revealed a full assessment of need is undertaken prior to admission and individual plans are developed from this. Local Authority assessments were also used in this process. The care files contained detailed guidance for staff on meeting the needs of the residents. The Inspector was able to observe the staff providing appropriate and adequate support. One prospective new resident was visiting the home on the day of inspection as part of the transition period. A staff member from the present placement accompanied the resident. This was commendable practice. Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) 4 of 4 standards assessed were met, 1 standard was not assessed. Care plans were in place covering all aspects of personal, social and healthcare needs. A review of the care plan information provided evidence that individual support programmes are developed for each person accommodated. The home operates a key worker system and one to one support is available throughout the waking day. The Inspector noted that the statement of purpose reflects the high level of support offered in the home. The Inspector noted that information in the care plans reflects the persons choices and right to make decisions. During the inspection one resident confirmed her bedroom would soon be re-decorated and she had chosen the colour. As part of the inspection process the Woodhouse Page 6 inspector received comment cards from two residents. The comments were positive and conveyed that care provided was of a high level. Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) 6 of 7 standards assessed were met, 1 standard was not assessed. The inspector noted from evidence in the care plans that each resident had an individual plan, which included attendance at various day centres providing social and educational activities. One resident spoken with likes to go shopping and the Inspector was able to speak with visiting friends who confirmed the residents choices are always considered. One resident confirmed attendance at a day centre in another city close to where her parents lived which enabled contact on a regular basis. Visitors spoken with confirmed attendance at a review meeting for their friend who was presently accommodated in the home. The Inspector examined the kitchen area and found it to be clean and well organised. The Inspector noted gaps in the recording process when the cook was on annual leave. A requirement has been included to review the recording process to ensure all record re kept up to date when the cook is not present in the building. Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) 4 of 4 standards assessed were met. The Inspector observed staff members interacting sensitively with the residents, and noted residents were given personal space where appropriate. Staff members spoken with were able to demonstrate a detailed understanding of the needs and preferences of the residents they were supporting. The Inspector found evidence in the care files of residents access to all relevant health care services. The Inspector reviewed the administration and storage of medication in the home. The training co-ordinator confirmed all team leaders have attended medication training delivered by the pharmacist. The district nurse has provided training on the administration of invasive medication. Only senior staff members administer medication. The storage and administration was up to date and in order. The Inspector recommended a date be inserted in the homely remedies record sheet. A requirement from the previous inspection to include in care plans the residents wishes in the event of death has been complied with. Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) 2 of 2 standards assessed were met. The complaints procedure was displayed in the home and contained the contact details for the Commission for Social Care Inspection. Policies and procedures are in place to safeguard residents from any form of abuse. No complaints had been received since the last inspection. Environment (Standards 24-30) Woodhouse Page 7 4 of 7 standards assessed were met, 3 standards were not met. The home was bright, airy, and free from offensive odours. The furniture provided was domestic in character and of good quality. All areas of the home are accessible to persons using a wheelchair. The Inspector noted that the communal garden area was the subject of a requirement from the previous inspection. A trip hazard has been removed and the area made safe for use by residents and staff. The Inspector noted two sofas in the home, (one in a residents room and one in the communal lounge) were without soft cushions. These were being laundered. Alternative cushions should be provided during the interim period appropriate to meet the needs of the residents. A requirement will form part of this report to reflect this. The Inspector noted that no storage space was available to the maintenance person for the safe storage of tools and sundries required as part of his role in the home. The regulations require appropriate storage facilities be provided for the purposes of the home. The inspector examined the fire safety records, environmental safety records, and records related to food hygiene and temperature control in the main kitchen area. The Inspector noted when the cook and maintenance person were not on duty the records required by legislation in relation to these two areas of work in the home had not been completed. A requirement has been included in this report. Staffing (Standards 31-36) 6 of 6 standards assessed were met. The staff members spoken with demonstrated a good understanding of their role within the home. The home operates a key worker group system and the staff members demonstrated to the inspector a detailed knowledge of the resident they were allocated to as part of the key worker group. This is consistent with good practice. The Inspector was able to meet with the delegated training co-ordinator who explained a training programme has been developed to ensure 50 of care staff achieves NVQ level 2 by 2005. The Inspector spoke with staff members who conveyed enthusiasm and commitment to completing training tasks. The main concern of the staff spoken with was that no time is allocated to enable the staff members to collate information and complete training exercises. Staffing levels should be reviewed to ensure adequate time is allocated during duty shifts for report writing, supporting staff, monitoring of practice and to allow staff time to read policies and procedures and complete training materials. The Inspector reviewed the staffing information held in the home. There was evidence of a robust recruitment procedure in place.Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37-43) 4 of 5 standards assessed were met, 1 standard was not met, and 2 standards not assessed. Mr Robert Theobald has recently successfully completed the registered manager process. Woodhouse Page 8 The manager has qualifications equivalent to the Level 4 NVQ in Management Award. The manager demonstrated throughout the inspection process, his competence and experience to meet the stated purpose of the home. The Inspector noted the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Those residents able to communicate their wishes and feelings verbally did so with confidence. The staff members encouraged and provided choice for the residents in making decisions. The Inspector received three replies from residents in the form of comment cards issued prior to the inspection process. The comments received were all favourable. The care file information was up to date, detailed and in good order. The organisation has contracts in place to ensure external contractors carry out appropriate checks to equipment and the premises at regular intervals. Documentation and a formal recording system is in place.WoodhousePage 9 Requirements from last Inspection visit fully actioned?

The Inspector reviewed the care files and found evidence of local authority assessments. The manager explained that a full assessment of need is undertaken prior to admission and individual plans are developed from this assessment. The development of the care plan includes information from relevant professionals, family members, the resident and persons significant to the resident. For example staff from previous placements that have worked closely with the person being accommodated. This was good practice. One prospective new resident was visiting the home on the day of inspection as part of the transition period. A staff member from the present placement accompanied the resident. This was commendable practice.Standard 3 (3.1 - 3.10) The registered person can demonstrate the homes capacity to meet the assessed needs (including specialist needs) of individuals admitted to the home. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met?

The Inspector found clear detailed guidance for staff in meeting the needs of the residents. Care plans were in place covering all aspects of personal, social and healthcare needs. The care file information had recently been prioritised and this made the information more accessible. The manager explained a review of the care plan format was presently taking place to ensure the plans focussed more on aspirations and changing needs. Evaluation and development would be the key principles of the revised format. This is in line with good practice.WoodhousePage 17 Standard 7 (7.1 ­ 7.7) Staff respect service users right to make decisions, and that right is limited only through the assessment process, involving the service user, and as recorded in the individual Service User Plan. 4 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The home accommodates people with complex communication and behavioural needs. The Inspector noted that information in the care plans reflects the persons choices and right to make decisions. During the inspection one resident confirmed her bedroom would soon be re-decorated and she had chosen the colour. The resident also confirmed attendance at a day centre in another city to maintain continuity of care prior to admission, and encourage contact with her parents who lived close to the day care facility. This is consistent with good practice. The Inspector observed the residents making choices in relation to food and beverages being prepared. The residents confirmed to the inspector they chose where to have their lunch. The cook explained some residents used their own kitchen facilities to prepare light meals and snacks.

The Inspector reviewed the administration and storage of medication in the home. Medication is stored in a designated cupboard, and a metal cabinet is used. A separate controlled drugs cupboard and register was in place. An audit of the controlled drugs revealed no errors and two signatures were present. The Inspector saw that a homely remedies record was also in use at the home. The homely remedies record did not include a date when the remedy was administered. The Inspector recommended a review of the format to include a date, name of resident, staff signature and a balance. An audit revealed no errors. The Inspector found evidence that a monthly audit is carried out on a regular basis and signed for by the staff member completing it. This is consistent with good practice. The training co-ordinator confirmed all team leaders have attended medication training delivered by the pharmacist. The district nurse has provided training on the administration of invasive medication. Only senior staff members administer medication. The medication storage area was clean and well organised.Standard 21 (21.1 ­ 21.8) The registered manager and staff deal with the ageing, illness and death of a service user with sensitivity and respect. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met?

All areas of the home are accessible to persons using a wheelchair. The Inspector noted that the communal garden area was the subject of a requirement from the previous inspection. A trip hazard has been removed and the area made safe for use by residents and staff. The Inspector was able to meet with the maintenance person who explained a programme was in place for the maintenance and renewal of the fabric and decoration of the premises. The Inspector noted that no storage space was available to the maintenance person for the safe storage of tools and sundries required as part of his role in the home. Day to day repairs and replacement of minor items such as light bulbs, which may require immediate attention, were an important part of this role. The regulations require appropriate storage facilities be provided for the purposes of the home. The Inspector was able to view the records completed for Water temperature checks in residents rooms (taps, showers and baths) External contractor certificates including laboratory sampling of water External contractor inspection of hoists and assisted bathing facilities. All records required by legislation were up to date when completed by the maintenance person. The Inspector noted that no records were kept up to date in the absence of the maintenance person.

Eight apartments with en-suite bathroom or shower facilities, depending on individual need and the option of the provision of kitchen facilities depending on individual choice, and provided through a risk assessment framework. The apartments have the electrical and plumbing facilities to be adapted quickly to meet the needs and choices of persons accommodated. This was good practice. The eight flats to the other side of the building consisted of a lounge, bedroom, bathroom with toilet and wash hand facilities, and a fully fitted kitchen. The Inspector viewed two of the flats and noted the residents had personalised the flats with personal possessions. The accommodation on the ground floor all had individual patio gardens. Individual accommodation was of a very high standard.Standard 26 (26.1 ­ 26.4) The registered person provides each service user with a bedroom that has furniture and fittings sufficient and suitable to meet individual needs and lifestyles. 2 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The Inspector did not view all rooms on the day of inspection. Those rooms viewed contained furniture and fittings suitable to meet the needs of the residents. The rooms had been personalised, homely and comfortable. The Inspector noted two sofas in the home, (one in a resident room and one in the communal lounge) were without soft cushions. A staff member explained the cushions had been soiled and were being laundered. Alternative cushions should be provided during the interim period appropriate to meet the needs of the residents. A requirement will form part of this report to reflect this. Standard 27 (27.1 ­ 27.6) The registered person provides service users with toilet and bathroom facilities which meet their assessed needs and offer sufficient personal privacy. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met?

Communal toilets are located near to the dining area.WoodhousePage 29 Standard 28 (28.1 ­ 28.3) A range of comfortable, safe and fully accessible shared spaces is provided both for shared activities and for private use. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The communal space consists of three lounges, a social skills kitchen and two therapy rooms. Laundry facilities are provided and are domestic in style. All individual rooms on the ground floor have a small courtyard area accessible from a patio door in the room. The home has a no smoking policy and residents who smoke do so outside or in the privacy of their own rooms supported by staff.Standard 29 ( 29.1 ­ 29.8) The registered person ensures the provision of environmental adaptations and disability equipment necessary to meet the homes stated purpose and the individually assessed needs of all service users. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met?

The Inspector noted the home was bright, airy and clean. There were no offensive odours in the home. The Inspector observed the domestic staff working diligently to maintain a high level of cleanliness in the home. The Inspector saw that a cupboard was in place for the storage of cleaning materials. There was little evidence in the storage area of guidance in relation to the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health. (COSHH) A COSHH file was located in the office however the domestic staff members were unable to demonstrate a detailed knowledge of the contents of the file. The Inspector could find no evidence of COSHH training being provided for the domestic staff, and discussion with the training co-ordinator confirmed this. A requirement will form part of this report to implement training for these staff embers. The staff members confirmed supervision from the deputy manager, and attendance recently on a Positive response-training programme. This is consistent with good practice. However the staff commented they are given no information when new resident are admitted to the home although they may come into contact with residents whilst carrying out their duties. The Inspector was impressed with the level of understanding of the residents needs and possible triggers to difficult behaviour conveyed during this discussion. Consideration should be given to providing a summary handover to all staff when a new resident is admitted to ensure consistency of practice, and minimise any distraction to enable them to settle in the home. Particular regard should be paid to any communication strategies in place for any new resident and behaviour difficulties or major changes relating to any resident in the home. The regulations require that staff are encouraged to develop and maintain good relationships with persons accommodated, and the domestic staff are an important element of the staff team.WoodhousePage 31 StaffingThe intended outcomes for the following set of standards are: · · · · · · 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 homes 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.Standard 31 (31.1 ­ 31.7) The registered manager ensures that staff have clearly defined job descriptions and understand their own and others roles and responsibilities. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The Inspector reviewed the staffing information and saw that job descriptions were in place. The staff members spoken with demonstrated a good understanding of their role within the home. The home operates a key worker group system and the staff members demonstrated to the inspector a detailed knowledge of the resident they were allocated to as part of the key worker group. This is consistent with good practice. The Inspector noted particular attention being paid to individual need in relation to the gender preferences and needs of residents.WoodhousePage 32 Standard 32 (32.1 ­ 32.6) Staff have the competencies and qualities required to meet service users needs and achieve Sector Skills Council workforce strategy targets within the required timescales. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The Inspector was able to meet with the delegated training co-ordinator who explained a training programme has been developed to ensure 50 of care staff achieves NVQ level 2 by 2005. 22 staff progressing through LDAF induction Funding being sought for a further eight staff 2 staff registered for NVQ level 2 (under 25 years old) funding available 12 staff to register for NVQ level 2 by end of 2004 (on completion of LDAF induction) 2 NVQ assessors already on staff team (1team leader and the deputy) 2 more team leaders to register for assessor award this year The training co-ordinator explained specific training is also organised to focus on particular conditions individual to residents. The Inspector spoke with staff members who conveyed enthusiasm and commitment to completing training tasks. The main concern of the staff spoken with was that no time is allocated to enable the staff members to collate information and complete the induction training. The staff members when on duty are supporting a resident on a one to one basis for the duration of the shift. This is further discussed in standard 33 and a requirement is made to review the staffing levels in consideration of support and training time for staff.WoodhousePage 33 Standard 33 (33.1 ­ 33.11) The home has an effective staff team with sufficient numbers and complementary skills to support service users assessed needs at all times. Staff numbers/hours relating to the needs of service users are based on guidance recommended by the Department of Health. Personal Care No. service users High needs No. service users Medium needs No. service users Low needs Total no. of hours needed No. of staff with NVQ level 2 or above No. of Trainees registered on Sector Skills Council training programme 9 X X X X No. of full time equivalent Staff with nursing qualification (where applicable) No. staff hours allocated No. staff hours allocated No. staff hours allocated Total Hours Provided X X X X Nursing X X XXX3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The statement of purpose and individual contracts determine the staffing levels in the home. Personal care and accommodation is provided for residents with complex needs and funding is sought which reflects the individual care the residents receive. The Inspector noted that each resident receives one to one care, and two to one care is provided where necessary. The roster provided evidence that shift team leaders are also allocated to a resident during their duty shift. A cook is employed to prepare dinner, however the staff are required to prepare the teatime meal. The roster showed there was little scope for the team leader to monitor or guide staff supporting residents on a one to one basis. Those staff preparing the tea or undertaking domestic chores did so at the expense of residents agreed support levels. One staff member confirmed at times she was supporting two residents. Staffing levels should be reviewed to ensure adequate time is allocated during duty shifts for report writing, supporting staff, monitoring of practice and to allow staff time to read policies and procedures and complete training materials. The building is split into two parts and the Inspector was concerned that the duty team leader would be required to support staff throughout the building. There was no communication system. The staff spoken with explained the call alarm was used if support was required. The team leader or other staff members would have to leave a resident unattended to offer support if necessary. The use of the call alarm would indicate a problem had arose rather than informal support being required. Consideration should be given to the provision of a communication system for use on an informal basis. Woodhouse Page 34 Standard 34 (34.1 - 34. 8) The registered person operates a thorough recruitment procedure based on equal opportunities and ensuring the protection of service users. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The Inspector reviewed the staffing information held in the home. There was evidence of a robust recruitment procedure in place. The Inspector discussed amendments to legislation, which will impact, on recruitment procedures. The Protection of Vulnerable Adults Scheme was introduced on the 26/7/04 and involved a POVA list, which is required to be checked as part of the CRB process prior to the start of employment. The Inspector provided the manager with a summary of the changes and advised on where to locate a fuller explanation of the amendments.Standard 35 (35.1 - 35.8) The registered person ensures that there is a staff training and development programme which meets the Sector Skills Council workforce training targets and ensures staff fulfil the aims of the home and meet the changing needs of service users. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? The organisation have a training and development officer who co-ordinates the development of training initiatives for the organisation as a whole. The Inspector was able to meet with the staff member appointed as training co-ordinator for the staff team at woodhouse. The training co-ordinator explained that 22 staff members were presently progressing through an induction package accredited to the Learning Disability Award Framework. A training matrix was displayed on the office wall as a quick easy reference of training details for all staff. All statutory training was noted on the matrix, the Inspector noted that equal opportunity, or anti-racism training was not included as part of the training programme. The Inspector recommended a review of the training programme to include these areas of practice. The training co-ordinator explained mandatory training with the exception of Manual Handling was carried out in the home with the use of videos and questionnaires. The Inspector was unclear if the training co-ordinator was an accredited trainer, as COSHH, Food Hygiene and Health and Safety modules should be carried out by accredited trainers. The use of video training and questionnaires should be used to up-date formal training. The Inspector is aware the organisation has in place a four-day external induction package, which includes all elements of mandatory training. The Deputy Manager has achieved a certificate in manual handling training and offers this to staff members monthly or as required.WoodhousePage 35 Standard 36 (36.1 - 36.8) Staff receive the support and supervision they need to carry out their jobs. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met? A formal supervision programme was in place. The manager explained the team leaders provided supervision for their allocated key work group. The key work group consisted of four staff members. The deputy and manager provided supervision for the team leaders. The Inspector reviewed a sample of supervision records and found inconsistency in the frequency of formal sessions. The manager explained he was aware of the need to improve the consistency of the sessions throughout the staff team, and a formal monitoring tool has been developed to highlight areas of concern.WoodhousePage 36 Conduct and Management of the HomeThe intended outcomes for the following set of standards are: · · · · · · · 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 homes policies and procedures. Service users rights and best interests are safeguarded by the homes 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.Standard 37 (37.1 ­ 37.4) The registered manager is qualified, competent and experienced to run the home and meet its stated purpose, aims and objectives.

The Inspector reviewed the care plans and associated information. The care file information was held in the residents rooms and accessible to the resident. The staff spoken with confirmed residents are actively encouraged to help maintain their personal records. This is in line with good practice. The care file information was up to date, detailed and in good order. The Inspector also reviewed the personnel information, and found evidence of a robust recruitment process in place. A training and development plan was in place and a formal supervision system had been implemented. The manager had developed a monitoring process to ensure supervision was carried out on a regular basis achieving compliance with the National Minimum Standards. The inspector examined the fire safety records, environmental safety records, and records related to food hygiene and temperature control in the main kitchen area. As discussed in standards 24 and 17 whilst the cook and maintenance person were not on duty the records required by legislation in relation to these two areas of work in the home had not been completed. A requirement has been included in this report. I should be noted these two staff members whilst on duty, have kept good detailed records as required and commensurate with the responsibilities of their respective posts.Standard 42 (42.1 ­ 42.9) The registered manager ensures so far as is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare of service users and staff. 3 Key findings/Evidence Standard met?
