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): Standards 2, 4 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has a thorough assessment process that ensures residents’ needs are identified at the time of admission. Residents are able to visit and stay at the home before deciding to move in. Residents are issued with a written agreement that sets out the terms and conditions of their placement. EVIDENCE: Residents’ needs are assessed before they move into the home and there are clear procedures for admission. These include visiting for meals and overnight or weekend stays before moving in on a trial basis. Residents’ needs are reviewed through annual reviews carried out by the local authority and monthly reviews by their key workers. One resident moved into the home in April 2007. There was evidence that the new resident has had good support to settle in well. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Residents’ files contained a licence agreement that outlined the terms and conditions of their residency. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.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): Standards 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. Care plans contain good individualised information about residents. Care plans are person-centred and regularly reviewed. Residents are involved in the development of their care plans. Residents receive good support to make choices about their lives. Risk assessments must be carried out where necessary to minimise risks to residents. Risk assessments must be regularly reviewed. EVIDENCE: Care plans contained good individualised information about residents’ needs, strengths, skills and personal preferences. The home has done good work in 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 developing person centred plans that are accessible and involve residents. One resident showed the inspector his person centred plan, which was very individualised and made good use of photographs to indicate the resident’s likes, dislikes and identify important people and places. There was evidence that residents receive good support in making decisions about their lives. For example one resident recently tried a new job but found it unsuitable. Staff supported the resident to find a new job that he prefers. One resident meets with an advocate regularly. Keyworkers work with residents to identify goals that are important to them. Progress towards achieving these goals is monitored every month. Keyworkers also contribute a report to the resident’s annual review and carry out risk assessments where necessary. Some risk assessments needed review. For example one resident’s moving and handling assessment was dated May 2004 but had no evidence of review since that time. There was also insufficient evidence that risk assessments are completed in all necessary areas. For example there was no evidence of a risk assessment for residents who travel independently to minimise the risks involved in this activity. See Requirement 1. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

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): Standards 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents receive good support to develop their skills and abilities. Residents are involved in the daily routines of the home. Residents have active social lives and are involved in their local community. Residents receive good support to maintain relationships with their friends and families. Residents’ rights and responsibilities are promoted. Residents contribute to the home’s menu and enjoy the food provided at the home. EVIDENCE: 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Staff provide good support for residents to develop their skills and abilities. One resident is planning to move on to a more independent setting and has had support from staff to develop the skills needed to achieve this. Residents have a home based day each week and usually use this time to carry out tasks such as personal shopping, cleaning and laundry. Residents are also involved in the routines of the home. For example one resident chooses to do the recycling for the home and to keep the garden tidy. Residents lead busy and fulfilling lives and receive good support to access a range of opportunities. One resident works three days each week and another resident works in a café once a week. One resident attends a resource centre four days each week. Staff said that the resource centre staff also provides some one-to-one staff time to support the resident in maintaining friendships. Residents are involved in their local community and go out regularly to local shops, pubs and restaurants. One resident travels independently. Two residents go to church every week. All residents attend a social club once a week. There was evidence that keyworkers have time to go out with their key clients and that staff have supported residents in developing and maintaining friendships. All residents have some contact with their families. Staff said that some residents visit their families at holiday times and that other residents have regular phone contact with friends and families. The home holds events such as barbecues and a Christmas party, to which residents invite their friends and families. Residents said that they can invite friends for dinner at the home. Interaction between staff on duty and residents was positive during the inspection. Residents are treated with respect and staff listen to what they have to say. There is a commitment to person-centred planning and to involving residents in developing their care plans. Residents have unrestricted access to all communal areas and are able to choose how they spend their time at the home. The inspector shared a meal with residents and staff, which was a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Discussion with staff and residents demonstrated that much thought goes into the menu and to maintaining a high standard of food. Residents are involved in planning the menu and said that they enjoy the food provided by the home. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

Arrangements for medication are appropriate but the home must ensure that no medication is used past its expiry date. EVIDENCE: There was evidence that staff have worked hard to ensure that information is accessible to residents. For example residents used the pictorial staff rota during the inspection to find out which staff were on duty later that day. As highlighted earlier in this report, residents’ care plans are developed with their 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 input and are in accessible formats. Some residents have specific communication needs. Staff have skills in these systems of communication. Residents’ healthcare conditions are monitored well and all accidents and incidents are recorded. Care plans provided evidence that medical appointments are made if needed and that appropriate healthcare professionals are involved in residents’ care where necessary. Staff said that district nurses currently visit one resident and that one resident sees a speech and language therapist regularly. One resident’s independence and quality of life has improved through an operation to improve his eyesight. Medication is stored appropriately and there are clear, written procedures governing the administration of medication. The home has an arrangement with the supplying pharmacist for advice and annual inspections. Staff said a general practitioner reviews residents’ medication regularly. Medication training is included in the induction for all staff and refresher training is provided. Medication records were checked and found to be accurate. One topical cream was still in use despite more than six months elapsing since the date of opening. The home should ensure that no medication is used past its expiry date.

There have been no complaints made about the home since the last inspection. The home works within the local authority policy on the Protection of Vulnerable Adults and staff attend training in this area. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 24, 26, 27, 28 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is well decorated and well maintained. A number of improvements need to be made in the bathroom. The communal rooms of the home are comfortable and homely. Residents’ bedrooms reflect individual preferences. The home is clean and hygienic. EVIDENCE: The home is situated in a pleasant residential area and has good access to local community facilities, open spaces and public transport. It provides 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 purpose built single storey accommodation and there is off-street parking for several vehicles. A good standard of decoration has been achieved throughout the home and there is a well-maintained garden. The communal rooms include a living/dining room, utility room and kitchen. All residents have their own bedroom, which they are able to personalise as they wish. All areas of the home were clean and hygienic. A number of issues need addressing in the bathroom. Some sections of the vinyl flooring were lifting at the edges, which presents a trip hazard. The ceiling needs repainting. Some tiles had been damaged by contractors during recent works and need replacing. Staff were trying to remedy these problems on the day of inspection but these repairs should be carried out by the housing association. See Requirement 3. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 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 home’s 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. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 31, 32, 34, 35 and 36 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is a stable staff and management team who know residents and their needs well. Staff communicate effectively with one another and share information well. Staff are appointed following an appropriate recruitment and selection procedure. Staff have access to training appropriate to their roles. Staff should receive supervision more often. EVIDENCE: The manager and most staff have worked at the home for some time and know residents well. There are good systems of communication between staff. Staff read the Communication book each time they begin a shift and attend a 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 handover between shifts. Medication and monies are also checked between shifts. Each shift has a nominated team leader. There was one vacancy on the staff team at the time of inspection but staff said that this vacancy is covered by a member of bank staff who has worked regularly at the home for several years. There was evidence that the local authority has obtained Criminal Records Bureau disclosures for staff but some of those seen were dated some years ago. Although there is no legal Requirement to renew Criminal Records Bureau disclosures the London Borough of Richmond should consider renewing Criminal Records Bureau disclosures for staff approximately every three years. Staff said that they have good access to training and that they have refresher training in mandatory areas every three years. All but one member of staff has achieved NVQ level 3. Staff said that they have supervision but that this is often when specific issues need addressing rather than at regular intervals. Staff supervision records demonstrated that some staff have had supervision often enough but that others have not had supervision recorded for over six months. This issue was also raised in the last inspection report. See Requirement 4. 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43.

Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s 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. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 37, 38, 39 and 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has an experienced and committed manager. Consider how best to enable staff to contribute their ideas about how the home is run. There is a commitment to seeking residents’ views and to running the home in residents’ best interests. Fire drills and fire system tests must take place more often. EVIDENCE: 26, Cross Street DS0000017360.V356902.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 The manager and deputy manager have worked at the home for a long time and have achieved NVQ level 4. Staff said that the manager is committed to maintaining high standards and to ensuring that residents receive a high standard of care and support. Some staff felt the manager could be more open to their ideas and input about how the home is run. This issue has been highlighted in previous reports. Residents’ income and expenditure is recorded appropriately and accounts are reconciled monthly. Staff said that the local authority auditor had audited the home’s finances earlier in the year. There is a commitment to running the home in residents’ best interests and to seeking their views about how the home is run. Residents’ meetings are held about once a month. One resident has begun to chair these meetings. The Landlord’s Gas Safety record was issued in April 2007. Engineers tested the fire alarm system in February 2007 and the emergency lighting was checked in July 2007. Staff check the fire alarm each week using different call points, though these tests had not been recorded for 17 days at the time of inspection. The most recent fire drill recorded in the fire log took place in July 2006. Fire drills must be held at least twice each year.
