They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . People receive good information and their needs are fully assessed. Evidence: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide were reviewed in June 2009 and contained up to date information. A pictorial copy of the Statement of Purpose was displayed on the homes notice board and each of the care files we examined contained up to date copies of the Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide. We looked at the pre admission assessment of the last person admitted to the home, which was in March 2007, and we found that it had been carried out by the home manager and covered the persons physical, mental and social needs. The assessment showed the participation of other healthcare professionals that had been involved in the care of the person. The assessment documentation was clear and provided detailed information on the support needs of the person using the service. In addition to looking at the persons physical, mental and social needs it looked at their preferences, such as how they liked to spend their time and how they interacted with other people. There were no pre-admission assessments available for inspection for any of the other Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 34 Evidence: people living in the home, however, the person in charge of the home said that they may have been archived as it had been many years since they moved in. The records showed that the person had visited the home on several occasions and that they had an overnight stay before moving in, and that notes were made regarding the experience of the person moving into the home and the impact that the move could have on the people already living in the home. Each of the four care files that we looked at contained a contract showing the cost of staying at 86 London Road and the contribution that people had to pay; the Service User Guide identified the items that people would need to pay for in addition to their weekly charges.

Evidence: The care files have been divided into three separate folders, one being for the daily notes, another for the health action plans and the third for care plans and risk assessments together with their management plans. We looked at the care files belonging to all of the people living in the home and we found them to be detailed and informative. There was information on all areas of care and risk, such as, bathing/showering, getting up/going to bed, expression and understanding, relationships, interests and hobbies, exercise and managing finances. There was management plans in place for all areas of identified risks. Each of the care files that we looked at contained a care plan for areas of need that was specific to the individual.

People are supported by an effective staff team who understand and do what is expected of them. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . People are cared for by a competent, well-trained and supervised staff team, who are safely recruited. Evidence: We looked at the staff duty roster over an eight week period, which covered six weeks prior to the inspection and two weeks after. The rosters showed that the home provided appropriate levels of staffing throughout the period and that permanent staff were supported by the use of regular agency staff to ensure consistency of care. All staff works a twelve hour shift pattern which includes regular waking night shifts. Staff is allocated specific duties, such as being responsible for medication and organising activities; when spoken with staff said that they were happy with this arrangement. The manager said in his AQAA that four of the eight staff employed have achieved their NVQ level 2 or above in health and social care. Two of the staff files we looked at contained copies of certificates confirming their NVQ qualification. We looked at three staff files, including that of the most recently transferred member of staff and they contained all of the required documentation including a criminal records bureau check, two written references and evidence of induction, supervision and training.

People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately, with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. They are safeguarded because the home follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and makes sure staff understand the way things should be done. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service . Whilst people live in a generally well run home, they do not always benefit from a stable management team. Evidence: The person in charge of the home said that the registered manager was no longer working there and that an acting manager was in post but on paternity leave. The duty roster showed that the registered manager had been on a period of sick leave and returned to the home for a two week period then was taken off the rota from 15th June 2009. The person in charge of the home said that the new acting manager started work at 86 London Road as soon as the registered manager left. The new acting manager was not shown on the staff duty roster; all staff working in the home must be included on the duty roster. At the date of writing this report we had not received a notification from the provider informing us of the changes in the management of the home and the service is required by law to notify the Commission when this occurs. The person in charge of the home was not able to provide details of the homes quality Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 30 of 34 Evidence: assurance system; however the notes of a recent meeting that was held for people living in the home showed that a survey had taken place in 2008 and that the outcomes had been discussed.

The person in charge of the home said that he was not aware of any quality assurance report. The provider carries out regular monthly checks on the home and there was copies of the reports to confirm these visits kept on file at the home. The manager did not return his AQAA by the due date and had to be sent a reminder, however, once received the completed AQAA contained all of the information that we had asked for. The providers health and safety officer carries out an annual health and safety check. A random sample of safety certificates was checked and we found them to be in place and up to date.
