What the care home does well We observed some good support with staff offering choices and person centred support. Staff speak calmly, encouragingly and respectfully to service users. New staff complete an induction based on learning disabilities so they have some underpinning knowledge about peoples needs. People are having support to achieve their personal goals and aspirations. Plans of support are in place so staff know how to support people. Risks are identified and managed in a way that does not restrict people but enables them to take part. There are detailed plans to show what support people need with their personal and health care. Staff work closely with health professionals to make sure that peoples health needs are met. Most of the staff have a National Vocational Qualification in care. People said they have a good social life and have the support they need to access the community. People have support to plan and book their individual holidays. What has improved since the last inspection? The requirement and recommendation made at the last inspection has been met. There is a new manager who is registered with us. This means that he has gone through and passed the fit person process. E learning has been introduced by the company for staff as a flexible learning tool that staff can complete at work or at home. Staff have training in subjects like person centred planning, active support, positive behaviour support and intensive interaction. This means they have the skills to give the right support. The manager is improving the information about the home. This means that prospective service users will have some meaningful user friendly information to help them decide about moving in.351 Maidstone RoadDS0000061864.V376717.R01.S.docVersion 5.2The monitoring of health and safety has improved.
