What the care home does well Each person who lives at the home has had their needs assessed to make sure the home can give them the care and support they need. Furthermore information is available to help people make an informed choice about the service before they decide to use it. The staff at the home treat the people as individuals and support them to live the life they choose as much as possible. They have new experiences and know that their opinions are valued. The staff are appropriately trained so they know how to provide the people who live at the home with good care. There are also sufficient numbers of staff in post to meet the needs of the people.Quality assurance systems are in place. This helps the service to ensure it is run in the best interests of the people who live there. What has improved since the last inspection? Staff in the home continues to encourage people to undertake projects they show an interest in. Two people who use the service had attended training in `Healthier Food and Special Diets` and completed a project in healthy living. Some people had recently been involved in a project about bullying and had written about how it would make them feel if they were bullied and whom they would tell. Two people had also written poems about being bullied. Since the previous inspection a policy had been put in place for `homely remedies`. There was evidence to show that permission to give homely remedies had been sought and agreed by the person`s General Practitioner. All staff has received training in Fire Safety. What the care home could do better: In the two sets of documentation examined there was inconsistency as to when the plans were reviewed and very little information was in place for the reviews. Each person also has an essential lifestyle plan, however in the two files examined there was no dates on the information and it was not clear how often these were updated. The plans covered areas such as important people, likes and dislikes of food, activities, how the person wants to be supported, routines, things that must not change and things that can be changed, hopes and dreams for the future. Risk assessments were in place for each person: financial management, medication, and emotional and sexual exploitation, cooking and bathing. There was evidence to show that the risk assessments were reviewed but these were not carried out regularly and there were no comments made within the review. Health plans identify needs such as; oral hygiene, weight management, eye sight, however in the two plans examined they were not dated nor was there any evidence to show that they had been reviewed regularly. The plans should also be updated when any tests or appointments are undertaken relating to a health need. Medication administration records had been completed, however a handwritten administration record had only one signature. The manager was advised that hand written records need to be checked and signed by a second member of staff.

The quality rating for this service is 2 star. This means the people who use the service experience good quality outcomes. This inspection was a key unannounced inspection and was completed by an inspector in one inspection day. As a key inspection, all of the key standards were examined. This was to check that the home meets the standards that the Commission for Social Care Inspection say are the most important for the people who use services, and that it does what the Care Standards regulations say it must. A number of records were looked at including assessments of people who use the service and plans of care, staff recruitment records, complaints and maintenance records along with the annual quality assurance assessment. The manager had completed an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment prior to the inspection. The AQAA is the services self-assessment of how they think they are meeting the National Minimum Standards. This information is received prior to the inspection and it is then used as part of the inspection process. On the day of the visit the manager provided the information and documentation required. The Commission for Social Care Inspection sent a number of surveys to the home for people who use the service to complete. Four were completed and returned. Comments received can be read within the report. This was a positive inspection; people were open and friendly and welcomed discussion about the home. What the service does well: Each person who lives at the home has had their needs assessed to make sure the home can give them the care and support they need. Furthermore information is available to help people make an informed choice about the service before they decide to use it. The staff at the home treat the people as individuals and support them to live the life they choose as much as possible. They have new experiences and know that their opinions are valued. The staff are appropriately trained so they know how to provide the people who live at the home with good care.

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 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service have their needs assessed prior to admission. EVIDENCE: Two sets of documentation were examined and they showed that a full assessment had been carried out prior to the person moving into the home. The assessment documentation covered areas such as: preferred recreational activities, personal care, nutrition, dress management, mobility, continence, night time, sensory loss, emotional status, medication and health, independence/leisure, culture/religion and finance. Assessments are reviewed annually. At the time of the inspection a person who would possibly be moving into the home was visiting at times for evening meals. He would then hopefully go on to have over night stays over a period of time before choosing to move into the home. The person was being gradually introduced to the other people living in the home. 31 Oak Road DS0000036219.V367240.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 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 good. People who use the service get the personal support they require and at the same time staff makes sure that their privacy and dignity is respected. People are supported to become as independent as possible but at the same time staff look at the risks to keep them as safe as possible. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Each person who uses the service has an individual care plan, which showed involvement from the person, his or her key worker in the home and key worker in the day centre. Two sets of documentation were examined, which showed the information was detailed. However there was inconsistency as to when the plans were reviewed and very little information was in place for the reviews. Within the plans there was also a personal profile of the person and a ‘pen picture’. Daily notes detailed how the person spent their days, for 31 Oak Road DS0000036219.V367240.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 example a walk in Preston Park, a visit to the local pub, and overnight stay with family. One person was involved in a project for healthy living, which involved healthy eating, looking at lower fat alternatives within the diet and walking on a weekend. Each person also has an essential lifestyle plan, however in the two files examined there was no dates on the information and it was not clear how often these were updated. The plans covered areas such as important people, likes and dislikes of food, activities, how the person wants to be supported, routines, things that must not change and things that can be changed, hopes and dreams for the future. Risk assessments were in place for each person: financial management, medication, and emotional and sexual exploitation, cooking and bathing. There was evidence to show that the risk assessments were reviewed but these were not carried out regularly and there were no comments made within the review. People who use the service also have short and long term plans in place. The short term plans are usually achievable in one day such as: tidy room and clothing, go for a walk to the park and choose a drink and pay for it themselves, go to a garden centre, choose plants and put them into hanging baskets. Longer-term plans take longer to put in place with usually more people being involved in the process. One person wanted to sing at church, another would like to have a part time job, on a voluntary basis at a local hospital. 31 Oak Road DS0000036219.V367240.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

They each have a ‘home day’, spending one to one time with staff doing activities such as; baking, personal clothes washing, going to the Post Office, shopping. On evenings and weekends people take part in a variety of activities and enjoy socialising with friends, walking, going to the local pubs/restaurants, local cafes, line dancing, shopping and trips out. Some of the people use part of their allowances to pay for a carer from Adult Placement Services to take them out on a one to one basis, swimming, shopping or for a particular activity they may wish to do. 31 Oak Road DS0000036219.V367240.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 There are pampering evenings at home where people have aromatherapy, hand, and foot shoulder massage. Following these sessions staff write an individual evaluation. Two people who use the service had attended training in ‘Healthier Food and Special Diets’ and completed a project in healthy living. Some people had recently been involved in a project about bullying and had written about how it would make them feel if they were bullied and whom they would tell.

Some of the plans had been personalised with pictures relating to a health need. Whilst health needs are identified such as; oral hygiene, weight management, eye sight, in the two plans examined they were not dated nor was there any evidence to show that they had been reviewed regularly. The plans should also be updated when any tests or appointments are undertaken relating to a health need. 31 Oak Road DS0000036219.V367240.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Policies and procedures are in place for the ordering, receipt, storage, disposal and administration of medication.
