The manager said she has started the process of including relevant information in both documents so that new people wanting to use the service are suitably informed. Since the last inspection a vacancy has been filled. An assessment of this persons needs had been carried out by their social worker to help the home decide whether they can provide a suitable service. The manager explained how this person was admitted from another home, including frequent visits to Southmead Road before they made a choice to move. The home has met the changing needs of an individual with the help of other specialist services involved in their care. They were spoken with and said that they were very happy with the support from staff.

384-386 Southmead Road DS0000026555.V351813.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 more. The need to improve communication strategies for all people with their preferred methods has also been identified through the returned AQAA. Monthly summary progress notes showed that the peoples’ care is being reviewed regularly by the home; however not everyone’s was up to date and current. Daily records are being kept of peoples general wellbeing and activities participated with helping to monitor any changes to peoples’ needs and the outcome of referrals to specialist services.

It was evident that the manager has an awareness of the need to promote and further develop peoples understanding in expressing concerns and complaints. A survey received from a family stated that they knew how to make a complaint about the care provided by the home and also that the home responded appropriately if they had raised concerns. Discussion with an individual indicated that they are listened to regarding any concerns or complaints and that both house meetings and 1:1 meetings with keyworkers take place regularly to talk about anything. One survey returned from people said that they knew how to make a complaint whilst three said they did not know how to. 384-386 Southmead Road DS0000026555.V351813.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 However, all four surveys received said they knew who to speak to if they were unhappy.

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): 24, 28, 29, & 30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The house is a clean and comfortable environment for people to live in. Communal rooms and facilities are suitable for their purpose and meet the peoples’ needs. An individual is not being provided with specialist equipment to help keep them safe. EVIDENCE: Southmead Road is situated close to shops, public houses, and Southmead Hospital; there is a bus stop on the doorstep. The home is in keeping with the local community and is accessible to the current group of people who live there. A tour of the home showed that 3 requirements have been met. Repairs have been carried out to the second floor bathroom, the stairways and hallways have been redecorated and a loose wire has been secured. Everyone has a single bedroom, which is decorated to reflect individuals’ personal tastes. An individual has been supported within their environment in
384-386 Southmead Road DS0000026555.V351813.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 meeting their changing needs. This was detailed through the returned AQAA and it is evident that the home has taken a positive approach in helping to make them comfortable and safe in their environment. In discussion with the individual they said they felt well supported. The fittings and furnishings in bedrooms and communal spaces were comfortable and well looked after. Since the last inspection the office space is now on the second floor instead of the ground floor. The manager is aware that as the home has no call buttons installed in peoples’ bedrooms, and as there are no waking staff, a new risk assessment must be completed taking into consideration the individual needs of the two people on the ground floor. The manager is aware and mindful from previous experiences that peoples’ needs can change and that appropriate action is taken. As at the previous inspection, discussion was had with the manager regarding an internal keypad that controls the opening of the front door. This had originally been installed due to the safety of an individual who no longer lives at the home. The manager said 2 people knew how to use the key pad independently, and another person was in process of being shown, but that other people were unable to. The manager needs to update risk assessment regarding this restriction as to whether this is still appropriate to the current needs of people living at the home. A further recommendation is made for this to be completed. It was noted through the returned AQAA that specialist fire equipment that had been identified through fire risk assessment had not been supplied to an individual. This was followed up with the manager who verified that the home was still waiting for the equipment to be supplied. The home was clean and free from odour. Four surveys received from people using the service said that the home is ‘fresh and clean’. 384-386 Southmead Road DS0000026555.V351813.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from a staff team who understand their needs and who receive relevant training to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: Two staff spoken with explained their role and responsibilities, and how the team work together in meeting peoples needs. It was evident that they had a good understanding of how individual people should be supported and gave examples of these. All new staff complete a 2 week Trust induction programme including the Learning Disabilities Award Framework and progress to NVQ level 2 awards. The corporate induction also includes the philosophy of the organisation. Four staff have achieved this while 2 are currently working towards this. Training records showed that staff were up to date with their mandatory training including food hygiene, first aid, and manual handling. Staff training records showed future training booked for 2008 including a National Vocational Qualification unit in medication.
384-386 Southmead Road DS0000026555.V351813.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Staff personnel files are kept at the Trust office and a separate inspection to examine these records will be undertaken by an inspector. Four of the surveys received said that the staff always treat them well. Whilst two surveys said that staff always listen and act on what they say, the remainder said staff usually listen.
