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 who may want to live in the home know that their care needs will be assessed as part of the homes admission procedures. Evidence: I decided to live here. I like it here, but I want to live on my own now. Comment from a resident. Ive lived here a long time, I like it here. Comment from a resident. We have improved by working in a more person centred way and ensuring that people are given the opportunity to re-evaluate their lives and make plans for future ventures. Extract from the providers Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). During this visit the homes acting Manager told us that no new residents had moved into the home for almost two years. All six people living in the home had lived together for between two and fifteen years. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 9 of 28 Evidence: As part of this inspection we reviewed the care and support of two people who had both lived in the home since it opened in 1994. We did not see the original information provided when people moved in, but we saw evidence that peoples current care needs were regularly assessed and reviewed. The residents, their families, staff working in the home and other agencies were involved in the assessments and reviews, as part of the homes care planning procedures. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 28 Individual needs and choices These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s needs and goals are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. People are able to make decisions about their life, including their finances, with support if they need it. This is because the staff promote their rights and choices. People are supported to take risks to enable them to stay independent. This is because the staff have appropriate information on which to base decisions. People are asked about, and are involved in, all aspects of life in the home. This is because the manager and staff offer them opportunities to participate in the day to day running of the home and enable them to influence key decisions. People are confident that the home handles information about them appropriately. This is because the home has clear policies and procedures that staff follow. 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 living in the home can be confident that staff will work with them to assess and record their care and support needs in a plan that is easy for them to understand. Peoples care plans will include a comprehensive risk assessment that is reviewed regularly. Evidence: I talk to the staff about the support I need and they help me. I can do most things for myself though. Comment from a resident. All the staff help me. Comment from a resident. We have support plans that are regularly updated to ensure that needs are being met and that we are aware of changes in peoples lives. There are also regular key working days where the residents are given the opportunity to express their wants, needs and desires. Regular reviews also take place to ensure that placements are meeting the Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 28 Evidence: needs of the residents. Extract from the providers Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). During this visit we checked the care and support plans for two people living in the home. Both people had lived in the home for more that 10 years. For one person we saw that their support plan gave staff a good overview of the help and support the person needed. We also saw that staff had worked well with this person to make sure that their views and experiences were included in the plan and the plan had last been reviewed in January 2009. The second persons support plan also included good information about the persons needs and how these would be met in the home. Staff must make sure that all plans are signed and dated to make sure that plans are reviewed and updated regularly. Staff should also make sure that the care needs assessments they complete with residents are used to develop and agree goals and actions plans that residents and staff can work to. We discussed this issue with the interim manager who told us that this would be included when the residents care plans were transferred to the new providers person centred care planning systems. We also saw evidence that both peoples risk assessments had been reviewed and updated during 2008. The risk assessments highlighted potential risks to each person and included guidance for staff on how these should be minimised. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 28 Lifestyle These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They can take part in activities that are appropriate to their age and culture and are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives and the home supports them to have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. People are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. Their dignity and rights are respected in their daily life. People have healthy, well-presented meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. People have opportunities to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. This is because the staff support their personal development. People choose and participate in suitable leisure activities. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area.

Evidence: I go out every day by myself, but the staff will help me if I ask them. Comment from a resident. I like my dance class. Comment from a resident. Its my room, I can do what I want to here. Comment from a resident. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 28 Evidence: At Canning Road all residents have comprehensive support plans to ensure that access to the community is priority and that day centres are still appropriate for that individual. Where a person expresses a wish to attend college or participate in a hobby or leisure activity then we will ensurer that support plans reflect that and these needs are looked at monthly to ensure that they are still what people want to do. Extract from the providers Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). During this visit we checked the support plans and daily care notes for two people living in the home. We saw evidence that staff asked people about their interests and included these in their support plans. Staff also had access to information about local events and amenities. The daily care notes we saw were clear evidence that people were supported to take part in activities independently or with support from staff where this was needed. One person told us that they went out each day independently and staff had supported them to buy and learn to use a mobility scooter. We saw good evidence that people made use of local day services, as well as other community amenities. We also saw that peoples bedrooms were very individual and each person had their own belongings, including TVs, DVD players and music systems. Both of the residents we spoke to said that they liked to spend time in their rooms and they could do this at any time. The support plans we saw included good information about each persons relatives, friends and other significant people, together with information for staff about how residents should be supported to stay in touch with these people. Residents and staff told us that the home had a weekly menu that residents were involved in writing. People were supported to choose their own meals and these were recorded by staff each day. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 28 Personal and healthcare support These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. 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 living in the home receive the personal and health care support they need. Staff make sure that residents are encouraged to be independent, have regular appointments and visit local health care services. Evidence: If I need to see the doctor, the staff will help me if I need them to. Comment from a resident. We encourage service users to be as independent as possible with tasks in relation to their personal care needs. When doing shift plans, every effort is made to ensure that staff who work well with individuals will work with that individual to ensure best outcomes. Extract from the providers Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). As part of this visit we reviewed the support and health care plans of two people living in the home. We saw that staff had talked to each resident about the support they needed with their personal care and how this would be provided in the home. We also saw the support plans emphasised what people could do for themselves and Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 28 Evidence: encouraged people to be as independent as possible. Peoples health care needs were also well recorded in the plans that we reviewed. We saw that one person had little contact with health care professionals, but where appointments were needed, these were well recorded by staff. The other person whose care we reviewed had more complex health care needs. We saw from this persons support plan that there had been good joint work with health care professionals, including the persons GP and hospital staff. Both of the files we checked included good evidence that people were supported to make and keep appointments with opticians, dentists, chiropodists and other health care professionals. As part of this inspection we also checked the homes arrangements for managing residents prescribed medication. The interim manager told us that the provider was changing the arrangements for managing residents prescribed medication and we saw evidence that this transition was being well managed. The home provided secure storage for prescribed medication. We checked the Medication Administration Record (MAR) sheets for each person living in the home. We saw that the MAR sheets were well completed by staff and there were no errors or omissions. Staff should make sure that they record the opening dates on medicinal creams to make sure that they are disposed of within recommended timescales. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 28 Concerns, complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

During this visit we checked the homes complaints and safeguarding adults records to make sure that people living in the home were cared for safely. We saw that the home had already started to use the new providers complaints procedure. We saw that staff had displayed copies of an easy read leaflet that outlined the complaints procedure in communal areas of the home. The leaflet made good use of pictures and Plain English to make the information easier for some residents to understand. The homes records showed us that there had been one recent complaint from a social care professional. We saw that the interim manager had responded promptly and appropriately and the complaint was well recorded. The person who made the complaint was also told of the Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 28 Evidence: outcome of the managers investigation. We saw that staff had access to a copy of the local authoritys safeguarding adults policy and procedures.
