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, 3, 4, 5. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Significant time is spent planning to make admission to the home personal and well managed. People receive a comprehensive needs assessment before moving into the home and receive a contract that gives clear information about fees and support to be provided. EVIDENCE: Two people have moved into the home since re-opening in July 2007. We examined each person’s records and found that both people had a Service User Guide that had been completed in large print and used pictorial symbols. The Guide detailed the fees payable and any additional support that had been agreed. Each person also had an agreement, which recorded how the service was to provide support. Discussion with staff and one person who used the service, confirmed they had been able to visit the home and receive information prior to deciding to move in. The person confirmed they had visited the home for meal visits and over night stays, and had many opportunities to speak to the other person already resident in the home and to staff.
50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 We inspected the person’s records and found that a care management assessment had been completed along with an assessment carried out by 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, 8, 9, 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The care plan is developed with, and owned by the person using the service. The plan is person centred and focuses on the individual’s strengths and personal preferences. EVIDENCE: We examined two plans of care and found each person had taken the lead role for writing and completing their plan of care. The plan had been specifically designed to support people with a learning disability and/or having needs on the Autistic Spectrum. The plans were in large print and used pictures to support completion and were written in the first person. The Support plans were focused upon the individual needs of the person. The individuals had been able to write about what was a typical ‘good’ day and
50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 what was a typical ‘bad’ day. Information was included about the circle of support around each person and relationships with those people identified. One plan included information relating to whom the person wanted staff support from. Discussion with the staff and manager confirmed this was managed sensitively, and they had recognised the importance of being able to choose how and who delivered support. The plans contained personal details and information relating to likes and dislikes; information included people and family they enjoyed being with, places they liked or didn’t like to go, food preferences and preferred activities. Each document contained specific support action plans, which recorded how staff could help to achieve a goal. The plans were agreed with the person and included, how to look after a pet, and arranging a home visit. One person had moved into the home the previous month and was in the process of completing the document. Staff reported that this was being completed at a pace to suit the individual. It was evident from discussion that staff were committed to ensuring the individuals were able to being supported to take control of their own lives, and throughout the day, people who used the service were given every opportunity to make informed choices. Staff ensured that people using the service were informed of their rights and if necessary supported to make necessary decisions. 50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle

Routines were flexible, but completing the plan had been identified as helping to reduce anxiety. The person had chosen to go personal shopping and swimming. Discussion with the person revealed since moving to the home, they had identified they wanted to find voluntary work and to gain retail work experience, and to complete a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ). Staff reported the Organisation had an Educational Co-ordinator, who was trying to accommodate the person’s requests, and was liaising with local establishments.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19, 20. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The delivery of personal care is individual, flexible, and person centred. Staff respect privacy and dignity and are sensitive to changing needs. EVIDENCE: The Annual Quality Assurance Audit completed by the manager reported that all people had a Health Action Plan and health visits were recorded on a professional contact form, including a record of health visit outcomes on appointment summaries, and the next visit where required. We examined two plans, which confirmed individual’s health needs were recorded and outcomes monitored. One person had a local General Practitioner (GP) and the manager has written to the Primary Care Trust to have a local GP appointed. The staff reported that people were able to attend appointments alone or with support from staff.
50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 From discussion with people who used the service and observation, it was evident that personal support was flexible and based on the individual needs of people. Staff demonstrated they were committed to providing an individual service and supporting the person to take control and make decisions. Staff commented, ‘we’re here to support the individuals, this is their home, and our job is to work with people so they can make their own choices about their life.’ The Monitored Dosage System (MDS) was used and medicines were administered from blister packs. Medication was stored securely and details of staff who had completed the training for safe administration of medication was available. Discussion with staff revealed a good knowledge of medicines, policies and procedures. We discussed medicines with one person who used the service. The person clearly recalled the colour and type of medicine taken and at what time of day, and consented to the support required to safely administer this.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The complaints procedure is supplied to everyone living at the home and is in a suitable format. The home has an open culture that allows people to express their views and concerns. EVIDENCE: The service has a complaints procedure that is clearly written and easy to understand and available using pictorial symbols and photographs. There has been one complaint since the home opened which was recorded in the complaint book. The manager clearly recorded the concern and a written response and action to be taken was given to the person. As a result of the complaint, which was around noise, the person’s bedroom has been fitted with a false wall to reduce the noise level from an adjacent property. It is pleasing to us that the complaint addressed and appropriate action taken. The policies and procedures for safeguarding adults were available in the home and staff received training during their induction. Discussion with staff revealed that staff working at the home know when incidents need external input and who to refer the incident to. Staff were familiar with the home’s
50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 ‘Whistle Blowing Policy’, which supported staff to disclose information regarding bad practice in the home. All staff had received training around dealing with physical and verbal aggression, and staff were confident that they were able to de-escalate any behaviour exhibited in the home. Staff often work alone, but can access additional support from the adjacent home by activating the nurse call system. One staff on duty had recently started working at the home and the manager had arranged for the person to attend this training. 50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment

It is required the people are suitably trained and experienced when left in charge to ensure the health and welfare of people who use the service, and the welfare of the staff member. It is recommended that people are a minimum of age of twenty one. Discussion with staff demonstrated people had a commitment to providing a good quality service, and had a good knowledge of individual’s needs and how to support people. 50 Burton Road DS0000004924.V355780.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home
