This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. Mrs Diane Peel carried out a visit to Ashby House on the 26th February 2008. We had carried out an Annual Service Review (ASR) in August 2007, which did not include a visit to the service but looked at information that we had received, or asked for, since the last key inspection. This included: The annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) that was sent to us by the service, surveys returned to us by people using the service and from other people with an interest in the service Information we had about how the service has managed any complaints What the service has told us about things that have happened in the service, these are called ‘notifications’ and are a legal requirement. Information from other organisations. What other people have told us about the service. From the information gathered in the annual Service Review (a copy of which can be requested from us) we decided to bring this key inspection forward. During this key inspection on the 26th February 2008 the intended outcomes for 30 standards were assessed; these included the key standards for care homes for younger adults. Prior to the site visit we sent surveys to people living at the home, staff working at the home, relatives of people living at the home and other social care professionals involved in the care provision of people living at the home. Have Your Say surveys were returned to us by seven care staff, two relatives of people living at Ashby House, three social workers/ reviewing offices and four out of the five people living at the home. Comments were positive and the majority of people talked about recent improvements to communication and care practices at Ashby House. What the service does well: When asked what the service does well relatives told us “ the home is a happy, caring atmosphere. My relative is anxious to get back after visits and physically is well cared for. I believe the home provides a good and valuable service” and another relative said “ ensures wellbeing of clients.” Ashby House DS0000014370.V358080.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Social care professionals told us that there is “good liaison with social services generally.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. 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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People have information available to be able to make a choice about if the care home is the one, which they want to live in and people’s needs are assessed before they move into the home so that they can be sure that the staff can meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide was hung on the notice board in the hallway. It was in a format of pictures supported by text. Some of the pictures were photographs of the home both inside and outside of the house so that people considering moving to Ashby House could see what it looked like. It gave information about what people could choose to do when they live at the home, what kind of support they can expect from the staff and what to do if they were not happy about something when they lived at the home. The care records, which we saw during our visit to the house, included checklists, which had been completed to show that people had a chance to Ashby House DS0000014370.V358080.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 visit the house before they decided that they wanted to live there. These had been completed some time ago as no new people have come to live at the home for sometime. We looked at the care records for two people during our visit to Ashby House and saw that both people had had their care needs assessed before they had moved went to live at Ashby House. We also saw that people living at the home had been involved in their assessments and when people had limitations and restrictions on things they could do safely these were written down and signed by the person who the care records belonged to or by somebody important to them like their parents or brother or sister. Four out of the five people living at the home returned Have Your Say surveys to us before we visited the home. Three people told us that they had enough information about the home before they moved in so that they could decide if it was the right place for them and all three ticked yes when asked “ where you asked if you wanted to move to this home?” The other person didn’t answer these two questions. Two relatives of people living at Ashby House returned Have Your Say surveys to us and they both told us that they always get enough information about the care home to help them make decisions and that they felt that the home meets the needs of their relative living at Ashby House. They were also asked “ are you kept up to date with important issues affecting your relative or friend/ relative” to which both ticked always. Ashby House DS0000014370.V358080.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in 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): 6,7,9 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The care needs and assistance required are recorded appropriately so that the people living at the home and their relatives/advocates know that they have a plan of care which will meet their individual needs and so that they can continue to be valued as a person and continue to make individual choices. EVIDENCE: Five people were living at Ashby House during the time of our visit although only three were at home for part of the time that we were there. The person in charge on the day of our visit told us that everybody had a care plan. Ashby House DS0000014370.V358080.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The care plans, which the care staff use, are kept downstairs but there are two other files for each person, which we saw when we went up to the office. We looked at two care plans and other care records for the same two people whos needs assessment we had looked at so that we could see how a care plan had been put together from the assessment. Both plans showed how people’s needs were to be met by staff. They identified problems, which people might have, and how best staff could help people to avoid the problems and help to sort the problems out. They looked at how people could eat healthily, maintain their individual levels of independence and described how peoples cultural and diverse needs should be met. There was an activity assessment plan and an activity timetable to show how people spend their day and staff keep daily records so that they can monitor peoples wellbeing. There were risk assessments and when people had limitations and restrictions on things they could not do safely these were written down and signed by the person who the care records belonged to or by somebody important to them like their parents. The care records, which we saw, had been regularly reviewed and showed that people living at the home and other people important to them are involved in agreeing the care plan.

Ashby House DS0000014370.V358080.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 We saw the activity diary and activity time table for two people during our visit which showed that people do have have leisure activities, have some integration into the community and take part in the day to day running of the house. We were told by the person in charge during our visit that two people go to college of which one person goes everyday and another person goes one day and to another day care provision for another two days, other people use other day care facilities for part days of the week.

One person commented “ day and leisure activities are structured based on individuals neeeds and preferences.” and other comments made indicated that plans for holidays were made around each individual or short outings thoughout the year. The five people living at the home who returned surveys to us were asked “ can you do what you want to do :a) in the day, b) in the evening, c) at the weekend , to which everybody responded “yes” to all. We saw that staff keep a record of visits by peoples relatives and friends and also when they go to stay with their realtives in peoples care records. There is also a visitors book in the entrance hall which records visitors to the house. The person in charge of the home at the time of our visit told us that meals at the home are flexible. We were supplied with a six week menus and the staff were writing out a shopping list whilst we were in the home.

All five of the people living at the home who returned surveys to us reported that they knew who to speak to if they were not happy and two confirmed that they knew how to make a complaint. There was a note on one survey, which stated that there was no response to the question asked due to limited communication skills and one other person told the person helping them to fill in the survey that they didn’t know how to make a complaint.
