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. The home would follow their admissions procedures and processes before admitting a resident, these include comprehensive assessments to ensure the home can meet their needs. Evidence: There have been no new admissions to the home since the last inspection, the last admission was in 2005. The people who live in the home are regularly assessed to ensure that the home is still meeting their needs. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 9 of 26 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 excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home make sure that care plans are regularly monitored to reflect peoples assessed and changing needs. Areas of development are included and the individual nature of the plan ensures individuals diverse needs are met. A robust risk assessment process means that people can be as independent as is possible. Evidence: The care plans for three people who use the service were seen, they included people with specific needs and requirements relating to their religion, physical ability and sensory abilities. Care plans are reviewed monthly by key workers, six monthly by the manager and annually by a multi-disciplinary team. People are regularly re-assessed at other times such as illness, behaviour changes or Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 26 signs of distress/unhappiness. Personal goals are looked at monthly by key workers and individuals have a meeting with key workers to attempt to ascertain their views on monthly progress/ well being. One to one resident meetings are one method used to try to ensure residents participation in making the decisions that affect their everyday life. Most people have communication passports and descriptions of how they present their feelings and make their views known. Regular house meetings are held and discussions include informing people about what is happening, in general, planning daytime trips,activities and choices around menus or other daily living issues. The home uses various methods to communicate with people in the meetings, such as a picture board, objects of reference and cards. The last meeting was held in May, the manager advised that staff use information if appropriate, from the meeting in peoples one to one key sessions. All the meetings cross reference and staff are , consequently able to accurately chart peoples progress and future needs. The manager has developed a system called new assessment for life, which is an observational technique that will be used to give a clearer understanding of what makes people happy and content or distressed and unhappy and may demonstrate more clearly peoples choices and preferences. Residents have comprehensive risk assessments that are detailed and ensure risks are minimised but taken to improve the independence and experience of people. One staff member said that one of the most positive developments over the last year was considered risk taking, this he believed had enhanced peoples lives by offering them more varied and rewarding experiences. Risk assessments were seen to be compatible with behavioural programmes for those people who may, on occasion display difficult behaviours. Risk assessments included community activities,presence in the kitchen and daily activities. Specific assessments were in place so that individuals could access activities such as swimming and boat trips. care home Page 11 of 26 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. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home makes sure that people can have an interesting and rewarding lifestyle, by giving them opportunities to experience different activities and supporting them to access the community. People are offered a health and varied diet and are encouraged to be as involved as possible in their food choices and preparation. Evidence: The activities part of the care plans reflect the individual and diverse needs of the people who are supported such as a more elderly man who chooses not to participate in activities as much as others. Another person is supported to attend religious and cultural festivals and celebrations, in the local community and in the wider religious Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 26 community. People are supported to access the community but it was discussed with the manager and service manager that there needs to be a review of why staff, on occasion buy peoples clothes without them being physically present. There is a weekly time table for all residents, but these are not very detailed and are often changed to accommodate peoples needs or preferences on the day. Other evidence was available such as daily reports, which are quite detailed and note where people have been and what they have been doing. People also choose special activities such as one person has chosen two special day trips so far this year, these trips are often one to one or two to one staffing. The home has employed a day care organisor and a day care support worker to ensure people can access rewarding day time activities. Staff and two people who are supported said that people had plenty to do and they did not get bored. The home recognises and notes that motivation can be an issue for people so they work hard to present different and interesting experiences for people to choose from. There are several systems of recording activities which could be reviewed so that it would be easier to track and cross reference activities with goals noted in care plans. Five of the people who are supported by the home do not have contact with families, the manager is continuing to try to find advocates for them. A self advocacy group is being started (externally) to the home and two people are interested in attending. Those people who have contact with their families are supported to maintain the contact and enhance their relationships. Staff gave a good account of how they respect peoples rights and talked about how they respect people and their choices, including the balance between risk taking and duty of care. One staff member described how senior staff had advised him about tone of voice and attitude when talking to the people he was supporting and how he had recognised that he had not have been showing the appropriate respect or recognising peoples rights. Menus seen were varied and wholesome, the home has a cook who prepares the main meal. One main meal a week is chosen by a resident. People choose and prepare their own breakfast and tea, with the support of staff. Peoples diverse food needs are recognised such as one person who eats only chicken and vegetarian food. Food monitoring charts and individuals likes and dislikes are clearly noted in menu file. care home Page 13 of 26 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. The home offers people support in the way they prefer and makes sure that they are helped to keep as healthy as possible. Medication is safely administered. Evidence: Three full care plans and several Health Action plans were seen. The support to be given to people to ensure their personal care needs are met is clearly recorded and includes, peoples preferences and choices and specific diversity needs. Communication methods are recorded so that staff are able to more accurately interpret behaviours, that may suggest how people are feeling about their care. A new assessment for life observational technique is to be used to improve understanding of how people show preferences/choices and what improves their wellbeing. Those who are able to, sign an agreement of how staff are to help them with difficult or distressing behaviours. All individuals have a health action plan which includes health review dates and is Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 26 signed by the G.P. Any necessary records are kept such as seizure charts for epilepsy, behavioural incidents charts for those who may need psychology/psychiatry input and weight charts for anyone who has any nutritional issues. People are provided with specialist equipment to assist staff to maintain their good health. Robust risk assessments are in place to safeguard privacy and dignity if this could be compromised by using the using the equipment. Visits to consultants such as psychologists, psychiatrists and specialists and regular health checks are well recorded. The primary care team is contacted when necessary. One person has had an improvement in his health because of new medication prescribed. The organisation employs an assistant psychologist who is able to visit individuals weekly, if necessary. None of the people are able to self medicate, staff administer medication. Records seen were accurate and the manager confirmed that there had been no medication errors since the last inspection. Staff receive in-house medication training and competence assessment prior to them being allowed to administer medication to the people they support. A senior staff member records the staff members training and competence assessment and signs the records to evidence that they are able to administer medication. Some staff are also authorised to administer emergency epilepsy medication, receiving training from a validated trainer who signs off their competence on behalf of the primary health care team. The pharmacist visits the home, the last visit was in November 2007 when they were happy with the medication procedure. care home Page 15 of 26 Concerns, complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. 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. The home has a robust complaints procedure and is adopting innovative ways of hearing the views of thos people who are not able to communicate verbally. The people who are supported by the service are, generally, protected from all forms of harm or abuse. Evidence: Complaints procedure presented in pictorial /user friendly format. Manager recognises that most people would not be able to make a complaint unaided, the use of the new observational tool is seen to be an enhancement of the complaints procedure for those who are not able to verbally communicate their concerns/unhappiness. Only one complaint has been recorded in the last year, this did not relate to care issues. The manager confirmed that there had been no other complaints but that they had received a compliment from another professional stating that the staff were friendly and work well with service users. All staff receive safeguarding training as soon as possible after they have begun work in the home. Disciplinary action was taken against one staff member to ensure there was no potential threat to residents financial well being. Staff members spoken to had a good grasp of safeguarding issues and how to protect the people in their care. One staff member had not yet received the training but was ver clear about what he would do if peoples safety or well being was compromised. The manager and staff confirmed that they do not use restraint Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 26 and behavioural plans for those who need help to maintain positive behaviour were seen to be detailed and effective. Four financial records were seen, it was noted that staff take peoples cash off the premises, it was discussed with manager and service manager that this was not a secure practice and had potential for abuse of peoples finances and presented possible difficulties for staff. It was also noted that the people supported by the service pay staffs out of pocket expenses when participating in social occasions in the community (mainly meals and drinks). These payments are made directly by residents and are not detailed on receipts. The manager agreed to stop these direct payments until the practice had been reviewed by the provider, in relation to the safety (potential for abuse) and equity of the practice (people who have limited funds could be seen as discriminated against because of their financial status.)The manager also agreed to record peoples choices and how they made them in relation to people buying their own soft furnishings and bedding. care home Page 17 of 26 Environment These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

All staff complete the core training within six months of starting work and up-dates are done as necessary. Training is generally up-to-date or booked for the next available course. Courses specifically related to the needs of the resident group are provided such as, makaton and epilepsy. Eight of the 22 staff have NVQ 2 or above, two staff have nearly completed it and two are embarking on it. There has been a substantial turnover of staff, in part because many of those who were recruited in a block from overseas have left to return home or take up other work. The home now has only two vacancies after a successful recruitment drive.

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. The home is well managed and the manager works hard to establish the views of the people who are supported in the service. People are kept as safe as possible in the home. Evidence: The manager has been in post for approximately 18 months, she was registered by the Commission in November 2007. She is nurse trained, has 25 years experience in social care and is completing her Registered Managers Award which she hopes will be completed in July 2008. Staff said that the home was well managed with the needs of the people who live there as the priority of the manager. The home has a Quality Assurance system that includes detailed and regular regulation 26 visits, house meetings with action points and annual questionnaires to other professionals, families and the people who live in the home. The results from the Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 26 surveys are incorporated into the Annual development Plan but this is not, as yet produced in conjunction with the provider organisation. The home is trying to set up imaginative ways of seeking the views of the people who are supported by the service, but who do not have mainstream communication skills, to ensure that their views are heard and acted upon, in regard to the development and improvement of the service. Staff members and the manager said that some of the improvement areas since the last inspection were, communication with people who use the service, day care activities, giving people choices and respecting their rights and responsibilities and the general well being of people.
