A Path map has been completed for the home and the service that is being provided. The Path map process has given staff knowledge and experience to support people who use the service in completing their PCP’s. Staff said they found this experience very beneficial. The training and completion of the home Path has given them an opportunity to explore, share ideas and take responsibility for specific areas of work. Individual paths for two people have begun and have included meeting with parents. Files for two people who use the service were examined. Case tracking provides a view of how the home responds to the diversity of needs and how this is being managed and supported. This is particularly evident where health needs and disability requires greater input and support from all staff within the home. Relevant information and monitoring is provided in individual files to make sure all staff have the necessary information to provide quality care.

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. Personal and healthcare needs are clearly identified in care plans. These plans provide information to promote consistency of care and support for all people who use the service in a way that takes into account their preferences. The home has a clear medication policy and procedure, which is followed to make sure that all medication is administered and stored safely for the protection of the people who use the service and the staff. EVIDENCE: Individual care records and plans provide detailed information about physical and mental health and the support needed from staff to maintain good hygiene and health. The care plans sampled contain information about preferred personal care routines. Staff said they are able to communicate with people who use the service verbally and, in certain cases, with the additional use of gestures, sign language, and using objects of reference.

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, 30 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Rectory Road provides accommodation that meets the needs of people who use the service, and offers a spacious and comfortable home. The home is kept clean which ensures that good hygiene and infection control is maintained for the benefit of service users. EVIDENCE: A tour of the home was completed. Rectory Road provides homely accommodation in a residential area of Redditch. The home has a lounge and a large kitchen with dining table. Bedrooms are individually decorated and furnished. There is an enclosed rear garden and small front garden. The home is currently being redecorated. The redecoration to the lounge has been very nicely done. The appearance is pleasing and there is a relaxing feel to the room. Rectory Road, 66 DS0000066851.V329489.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The premises are clean and tidy. Policies and procedures for infection control are in place and staff are provided with disposable gloves and aprons. Communal bathrooms have paper towels and liquid soap available. All cleaning materials are stored in locked cupboards in the laundry room. Staff were seen wearing appropriate protective wear for the task being completed. At the previous inspection soiled linen was seen carried through the kitchen to the laundry room.

A maintenance networking relationship has established greater understanding of the home’s needs with the maintenance contractor and has resulted in improved timescales and responses to required work. The planned alterations to the ground floor toilet door were discussed with the registered manager. The door is to be altered so that it opens outwards to provide easier access. The toilet to the ground and the first floor need to be secured to the floor. The manager advised that the bathroom is scheduled for refurbishment. A replacement light pull chord should be fitted to the bathroom ahead of any intended refit. Rectory Road, 66 DS0000066851.V329489.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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): 32, 34, 35 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The staff team understand their responsibilities and are committed to their role. They are well supported and work together to provide people who use the service with quality care, although appropriate levels of staff should be employed to meet the changing needs of individuals and the service. The home’s recruitment policy and practices make sure that suitable staff are employed and that all necessary checks are made to ensure the safety of all people who use the service. EVIDENCE: The registered manager said that staffing levels have changed since the last inspection. Two permanent positions have been replaced with flexible hours that are covered by regular staff and members of the bank staff. Although this approach may provide more flexibility for other services, it does not provide the consistency of care needed for people living at Rectory Road. It is evident from sampled rotas that regular contracted staff are needed to make sure that people are not put at risk and their protection and safety are not compromised. Rectory Road, 66 DS0000066851.V329489.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 An enabler is employed two half days per week to facilitate day activities from the home following the closure of day services in the area. However, adequate staffing should be provided so that people can lead an active and fulfilling life. The manager said that the change over to Dimensions (the new provider) has been relatively smooth, and that the people who use the service and the staff team have coped with this very well. Staff said that the recent Path training day was effective as a team building exercise. The manager has reviewed staff training records at the home and planning for future training courses has started. Staff will complete the mandatory health and safety training such as fire safety, first aid, food hygiene, moving and handling, and infection control. Other training courses include communication, safe handling of medicines, abuse, working with people we support and managing challenging behaviour.

The manager confirmed that all prospective staff complete an appropriate application form and that suitable references are obtained including one from their most recent employer. Appropriate criminal records and other checks are undertaken before their appointment is confirmed. All staff are required to work a probationary period at the home. Rectory Road, 66 DS0000066851.V329489.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home.

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): 37, 39, 42 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

In respect of management support from the provider, Dimensions has Training and Human Resource Officers who are available to advise and support the home. Service manager meetings are held monthly and the manager confirmed that she and the home are being supported. The provider’s monthly visits are one of the ways that Dimensions monitors the service and how the home is being run. These visits include interviews with staff and people who use the service. An audit of relevant aspects of the service, including records, environment, complaints received, finance and safety is completed. Any actions that may be needed to address shortfalls are specified. The resulting reports are also part of the home’s quality assurance and monitoring system and are intended to form an annual development plan for the service. This report will include views on the service from people who use the service, stakeholders and interested parties.
