This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. One inspector carried out this key unannounced inspection over one day in December 2006. During the course of the inspection a tour of the home was carried out, two resident and three staff files were sampled as well as other care and health and safety documentation. The inspector spoke with the acting manager and one member of staff, met all the residents and spoke with three of them. Prior to the inspection one completed comment card was received from a relative of one of the residents. All the comments on this were very positive about the service at the home. A pre inspection questionnaire was sent out to the home asking for additional information however this was not returned to the CSCI. The home had not had any complaints lodged with them since the last inspection and none had been lodged with the CSCI. What the service does well:
This is a well managed home that consistently offers a good level of service to the residents that live there. Before any new residents are admitted to the home staff carry out a thorough assessment of the person’s needs to ensure the home are able to care for them. Residents had very good care plans in place that were written from the residents’ point of view but also took into account other things staff needed to know about them. Care plans were being reviewed regularly to ensure they were up to date. Residents had both risk assessments and behaviour management plans in place. These detailed how staff were to minimise any risks identified and how any behaviours were to be managed without causing the residents any harm. Residents were able to make decisions about their daily lives within the bounds of the risk assessments. Residents’ personal and health care needs were met in a way that suited them. Residents were encouraged and supported by staff to be as independent as possible. The complaints procedure in the home was available in variety of formats including Braille and audiotape to try and ensure all residents could understand it. No staff had left the home since the last inspection which was very good for the continuity of care of the residents. Staff had a good knowledge of the
Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 residents they were caring for. The training they received ensured they were able to meet the needs the needs of the residents well. Comments received included: ‘I like the home. Staff are very nice. They go out with me when I want to.’ ‘Woodville is a home from home environment. You are always welcomed. Staff are always cheerful and friendly. Staff are excellent, care and hygiene are excellent. I don’t have any problems.’ The home provided residents with a very comfortable, homely and safe place in which to live. The health and safety of the residents and staff at the home were very well managed. What has improved since the last inspection?

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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 and 5. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ needs and aspirations were assessed prior to admission to the home and were known by staff. Residents were issued with a contract that gave details of their terms and conditions of residence at the home. EVIDENCE: No new residents had been admitted to the home since the last inspection. Two residents’ files were sampled, one for a resident who had lived at the home for a considerable amount of time and one for a resident who was fairly new to the home. There was evidence on the file of the most recent admission of a comprehensive pre admission assessment being carried out by the staff at the home. The assessment had not been signed or dated and did not state where the assessment had been carried out. It was recommended that this be done to evidence that the assessment was undertaken prior to admission to the home. It was also evident that a social worker had been involved in the admission, as there was a copy of an initial care plan drawn up by them. There was also some information that had been received from the hospital at the point of discharge. Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 All the residents in the home were reassessed on yearly basis to establish what their needs were and what level of support they needed. Their funding was then based on the outcome of the assessment. The files sampled had comprehensive license agreements which detailed the terms and conditions of residence at the home. Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.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 adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents had comprehensive care plans and risk assessments that detailed how all their needs were to be met and how any risks were to be minimised by staff. EVIDENCE: The two files sampled included comprehensive care plans. The care plans at the home were very person centred and written from the residents’ point of view but also took into account other things staff needed to know about individuals. The one file sampled had had a lot of input from the individual concerned, the other the resident was not able to contribute fully to. The daily living skills of each resident were clearly documented and stated what they were able to do for themselves and where they needed support from staff. Areas covered included, communication, socialising, personal care and managing finances. There was a section within the care plans ‘if you know nothing else about me, you must know this’ and this included such things as ‘I
Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 don’t like being touched’. All the individuals’ likes dislikes and preferences were also included in the plans. Wherever possible the residents at the home had signed to say they agreed with their plans. The care plans were being reviewed at least twice a year. The documentation from the reviews was very comprehensive and clearly detailed in the summary of the review what the aims for next six to twelve months were. The outcomes of the reviews had not been included in the care plans and there was no separate action plan that detailed if the outcomes had been actioned or what progress or otherwise was being made. This was discussed with the acting manager who agreed that an action plan stating what the outcomes of the review were would enable staff to monitor and record any progress or otherwise. Residents did make decisions about their lives wherever possible within the bounds of their risk assessments. Details of how they wanted their care delivered, their preferred pass times, meals, rising and retiring times were all detailed on their care plans. Residents chose on a daily basis what they wanted to eat, when they got up and went to bed and how they wanted to spend their time when they were not on structured day placement. The needs, likes, dislikes and preferences of the residents who were unable to communicate verbally were clearly known by the staff. The residents had both risk assessments and behaviour management plans in place. The risk assessments were comprehensive and covered such issues as, moving and handling, managing finances, bathing or showering, hot drinks and accessing the garden. The behaviour management plans clearly detailed how staff were to manage any presenting behaviours to a satisfactory conclusion.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents were encouraged and enabled to have an independent lifestyle as far as was possible. Their rights and responsibilities were recognised by staff in their everyday lives. The catering arrangements at the home met the needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: All residents had activity plans in place that detailed how they would access the local community. Some of the residents went to a local day centre which they walked to escorted by staff. They accessed the local shops, library, post office, park and pubs. One of the residents went out every morning to get their newspaper. At the day centre the residents took part in variety of activities. On the day of the inspection the one resident who had gone to the day centre was going swimming.
Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The residents’ rights to privacy were detailed in their care plans giving details of when staff could enter their room, whether they wanted a key for their bedrooms and what they wanted to happen to any mail they may receive. Residents were able to spend time in their rooms without being disturbed by staff and this was observed on the day of the inspection. There were gender care agreements drawn up with the residents stating whether they minded their care being delivered by the opposite sex. One file clearly detailed that the individual took an interest in their file and would look at it but may not remember it had been seen. Family and friends were made welcome at the home. The comment card received by the inspector stated: ‘You are always welcomed and do not have to make an appointment. Can visit any time.’ The resident’s personal files evidenced good contact with families and that residents were able to go out with their families whenever they wished. One resident confirmed that they see their family every weekend and go out for a drink with them. There were no planned menus at the home. Meals were prepared based on the residents’ likes, dislikes and preferences and what they wanted on the day. Records of the food being served to the residents were being kept and they evidenced a wide variety of meals and choices. One of the residents was from a different cultural background to the other residents but had no dietary needs in relation to his culture. The acting manager stated that their relative did bring cultural foods in sometimes but the resident would not eat them. There was documented evidence that when one of the residents had been gaining weight advice was sought from a dietician and a healthy eating plan had been put in place. The resident had lost some weight and was being encouraged by staff to eat healthily on an ongoing basis but they also realised they could not monitor the food eaten when the individual was out with family.

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.

Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Medication was being administered via a 28 day monitored dosage system which was very well managed. All the staff at the home had received accredited training for handling medication. Any medication that was not included in the monitored dosage packs was audited every time it was administered to ensure no errors occurred. All medication administered was signed for by two staff. All medication received into the home was acknowledged on the medication administration charts and all the medicines audited at the time of the inspection were correct. There were protocols in place for any PRN (as and when necessary medication) and these clearly detailed when the medication was to be administered.

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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The complaints and adult protection procedures available ensure the residents are safe guarded. EVIDENCE: There was an appropriate complaints procedure at the home and this had been amended as required at the inspection in June 2005. The procedure was available in a variety of formats including Braille and audiotape. The home had not any complaints since the last inspection and none had been lodged with the CSCI. The adult protection procedures were not viewed at this inspection as they met the required standard at the last inspection. All staff employed at the home had received adult protection training. The home was managing some money on behalf of all the residents. The records for this were sampled. All the residents had bank accounts and there were copies of statements available. The manager held the larger amounts of money in the safe and residents also had what was termed as a ‘purse account’, which was money available to them on a day to day basis. There were appropriate signatures for all expenditure and receipts were available. One query did arise that some of the residents were paying for their own lunches at the day centres they attend. The inspector received a communication following the inspection to clarify this. There was a long standing arrangement in place which was that residents could have a packed
Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 lunch to take to the day centre but if they wanted the meal provided at the centre they would pay for this. This arrangement had been agreed between individual residents and representatives of the organisation. The acting manager has since spoken to the residents affected and put a note in the relevant care files. Woodville Road, 15 DS0000016806.V321393.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment
