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): 1&2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home provides the service users, their relatives and supporters, with the information they need in order to make a decision about moving into the home. Appropriate pre-admission assessments are made. This ensures that only those residents who are suited to the home, and whose needs can be met, are admitted to the home. EVIDENCE: The home provides the service users and their families with good information about the home in a variety of formats including the use of symbols. Staff say that they also explain rights and responsibilities to the service users. No new service users have been admitted to the home since the last inspection. All care plans have up-to date-assessments. These are reviewed on a monthly basis and all stakeholders are involved in this process. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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 & 9 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home actively encourages the service users to make informed choices and take responsible risks. This helps the service users to maximise their independence. EVIDENCE: The mission statement of Prospects, the not for profit organisation that oversees the home, states that it works, “to enable people to realise their potential and to exercise choice and control over their lives”. Staff confirmed that this is very much the case and gave examples of how they support choice and promote independence. It is clear from these examples that the staff give encouragement and support in a positive, creative and sensitive way. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Risk assessments are in place for all activities and environmental issues. The home encourages and supports the service users to take responsible risks in order to maximise their independence. For example, one service user prefers to use public transport to get to his work placement. There is a risk assessment in place and he is supported to get to his destination independently. On the day of this visit two service users were at home and three were at their work or day placements. The two service users who were at home were clearly able to choose what they wanted to do and what they ate. Staff were noted to support and encourage them in a gentle, kind and positive way. Care plans are well organised and record the likes and dislikes of the service users, religious and cultural needs and show that the home has worked to meet and review these needs. Three service users attend a church group on a regular basis. One service user spoke enthusiastically about this group and how he helps make cakes to take to the group meetings. Records show that care plans and service user wishes are reviewed on a monthly basis. Direct and indirect observation showed that the service users’ wishes are taken into consideration in all aspects of daily life in the home. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle
The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. 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, 14, 15, 16 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home encourages the service users to participate in a wide range of activities and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. This means that they are able to realise their potential and can exercise choice and control over their lives. EVIDENCE: All the service users have day placements and/or work placements. On the day of this visit three were out at their day placements and two were in the home. There is a rota for house chores that the service users have agreed to. Direct and indirect observation showed that the two who were at home were happy to get on with their chores. Both were busy in their rooms, one was tidying his drawers and the other was sorting out his laundry. The care plans note goals and aspirations in respect of activities. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 There is a wide range of activities on offer, from horse riding to discos. The service users use local facilities such as the library, cinema and leisure centre. They also go to neighbouring towns for a number of activities such as bowling, the theatre and events that are organised by Mencap. There is a good age range, gender mix and cultural diversity amongst the staff group. This gives the all male service user group a balanced view of those that support them. Staff receive training in equality and diversity issues and this includes helping staff to understand the service user’s perspective. Each service user has his own time to go into town, with the support of a member of staff, to do his personal banking and shopping. There are sound systems for accounting for the person finances of the service users. Records show that good contact is maintained with relatives and friends. Three service users attend the local church group where they meet up with old friends. Four service users have regular contact with family, one telephones his relatives frequently and two go home weekly. The home supports these visits and organised transport of necessary. The home actively promotes communication skills. Staff are booked to go on Makaton training and direct and indirect observation showed that there is good communication in the home. The way the staff involve the service users in the day to day running of the home, for example, in making decisions about what activities they might take part in, is excellent. Staff talked about the way they include the service users in all activities. It is clear that they are sensitive and creative about the way they support choice and independence. Meal times are flexible and the service users choose what they want to eat. On the day of this visit there was plenty of good quality produce in the home. This meant that there was a good range of choice of food for the service users. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.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.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home promotes the health and well being of the service users. This means that they can enjoy as healthy a lifestyle as possible. EVIDENCE: The care plans are in very good order. They are reviewed monthly. The plans contain “Health Action Plans”. These plans identify specific health needs of the individual resident and state how these needs should be met. Care plans contain records of current medication and all other relevant information.

Specialist advice is sought appropriately. Records show that the necessary specialist advice has been sought and followed. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The service users are encouraged and supported to lead healthy lifestyles. One likes to walk to his work placement and the others enjoy walks and some go horse riding. All the service users are above forty-nine years of age. Some are now beginning to show signs of aging. The home supports aging and illness well. They have obtained professional assessments and have put revised care plans in place. They have also obtained an additional fifty hours of funded staff time per week to allow for more one to one time for one service user with increasing needs due to the aging process. There are regular reviews and care plans are up-to-date. Medication is stored appropriately. There is a locked cupboard in the staff office. Individual service user’s medicines are stored in separate, labelled containers. All packets were properly refastened. There are no controlled drugs in the home. The Medicine Administration Records (MARs) are in good order and the folder containing them also has information about the various medicines and their side effects.

This means that the home listens to, and acts upon, the views of the service users and their supporters. The organisation and the home do all they can to protect the service users from all forms of abuse. EVIDENCE: There is good evidence that all incidents, however, minor, are recorded and reported in accordance with the requirements of the Care Standards Act 2000. The reports sent to the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) over the last six months were discussed. All incidents have been appropriately managed. There are sound protection, complaints and concerns policies. Communication in the home is good. Staff say that they receive good training. They spoke about the excellent induction that they receive.

129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Direct and indirect observation showed the service users to be relaxed and comfortable in the presence of staff. Staff praised the manager for the way in which she ensures there is regular supervision and reinforces the need for respect and understanding of the views of the service users. There have been no formal complaints since the last inspection. There is a good system for recording the expressed views and wishes of the service users and acting upon them. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.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.

This gives the residents a pleasant and homely place in which to live. EVIDENCE: The environment is very pleasant, spacious and clean. It is well maintained and there is an ongoing upgrading plan. One bathroom is scheduled for a complete refurbishment at the end of the month. Every room is well decorated and furnished. One service user was proud to show us his room. It was spacious, very neat and tidy, comfortably furnished and reflected his personality. Outside there is a safe and well laid out garden with a greenhouse. The service users enjoy using this space when the weather permits. Some like to garden whilst others just like to enjoy the fresh air. In the summer they enjoy barbeques on the small patio.
129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 There are sound systems for environmental health and safety. The hot water has temperature controls, there are radiator guards in place and fire regulations are complied with. Environmental risk assessments are in place and no health and safety hazards were noted during a tour of the home. The only recommendation placed at the last inspection was for the home to change from the use of cotton towels to paper towels in the bathrooms. The manager said that this recommendation has been discussed with the service users and staff. The benefits and drawbacks of both paper and cotton towels have been considered and risk assessed. The home has decided that, on balance, cotton hand towels are preferable as they are more homely and do not present the disposal problems that can occur with paper towels. They have decided to continue to use cotton towels but will ensure that they are changed at least once every day. 129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff training, staffing levels and staff morale are all good. This means that a well-qualified and cheerful staff supports the service users. There are sound systems for the recruitment of staff and this means that a carefully vetted staff team supports the service users. EVIDENCE: Some staff were spoken to in private and others were spoken to en passant during this visit.

Additional staff hours have been arranged for one of the service users who is now showing signs of aging. Staff say that there are always enough staff on duty to meet the needs of the service users. There is one sleeping night member of staff. At present this is sufficient but it is being kept under review given the changing needs of the service users.
129 London Road DS0000013446.V356063.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The training records show that both statutory and specialist training is taking place. The home is also proactive in the way it organises the training programme. For example, staff are receiving training in dementia so that they can understand the signs and symptoms of this and better support any service user who may suffer from a loss of mental capacity. Staff files are in very good order. All staff have current CRBs and appropriate references are on file. There is good evidence that a lot of staff training is taking place.
