What the care home does well What has improved since the last inspection? The home has implemented the Person Centred Plans for each resident. Communication aids have been introduced so that the home is able to more effectively tell what each person`s needs are and what they would like to do. Staff continue to improve their skills and knowledge by attending training courses. The home is implementing a quality assurance system. What the care home could do better: There has been a number of changes to the home`s staff and management, which has had an impact on the provision of activities for residents, and the frequency of supervision for staff. This has been addressed by the recruitment of further staff. A period of sustained stability in this area is needed. A relative expressed the view that the provision of activities and hobbies could be improved. The home`s management needs to make arrangements so that the availability of staff records meets CSCI guidance and regulations. The quality assurance system needs to be developed to include the views of residents, residents` relatives and professionals connected to the home. Comments received from relatives as part of this inspection included suggestions as to how the service could be improved. Obtaining the views of residents` relatives about the home could provide useful feedback for the home`s audit and future planning. An annual development plan needs to be devised.

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection consisted of a tour of the building, examination of records, documents, policies and procedures. Discussions took place with the home’s deputy manager and two other staff members. Staff were observed working with the residents. The inspector met each of the 4 residents. The Commission sent survey forms to residents, residents’ relatives and to staff. Nine of these forms were returned and the information contained in them was also used as evidence for the inspection. The home also completed an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) form, which has been used for the purpose of completing this report. What the service does well:
Each resident has his own bedroom with an en suite bathroom, with a shower, toilet and wash hand basin. Residents’ bedrooms have been personalised with their own possessions. Each of the residents has a programme of activities for education, occupation and leisure. This includes attendance at day services as well as evening and weekend activities such as walks and trips to the pub. Residents also have an annual holiday. Assessments of need and written care plans are comprehensive and are of a good standard. The home is in the process of devising care plans using a person centred approach for each person. These acknowledge the individual choices and preferences. Hampshire Autistic Society has a staff-training programme, which offers a variety of courses for staff to attend. Positive comments were received from resident’s relatives about the service, including the following: • “I have been very happy with my son’s progress and any problems that have occurred have been successfully dealt with. We have always had good contact with staff.” • “Provides the best possible quality of life and on-to-one support.” 102A Brockhurst Road DS0000028732.V347363.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
There has been a number of changes to the home’s staff and management, which has had an impact on the provision of activities for residents, and the frequency of supervision for staff. This has been addressed by the recruitment of further staff. A period of sustained stability in this area is needed. A relative expressed the view that the provision of activities and hobbies could be improved. The home’s management needs to make arrangements so that the availability of staff records meets CSCI guidance and regulations. The quality assurance system needs to be developed to include the views of residents, residents’ relatives and professionals connected to the home. Comments received from relatives as part of this inspection included suggestions as to how the service could be improved. Obtaining the views of residents’ relatives about the home could provide useful feedback for the home’s audit and future planning. An annual development plan needs to be devised. 102A Brockhurst Road DS0000028732.V347363.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.
