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. Needs assessments are carried out by the home prior to people being admitted to the home to ensure that their needs will be met. Evidence: We are told in the AQAA that the home has not had any new people admitted to the home. On the day of the inspection there was one vacancy at the service. We were told that one person had moved on to live independently in the community and another person went to live with their boyfriend. The home has a Statement of Purpose and a Service User Guide and these are updated in a format the people can understand. We are told that a copy is given to the people and their representatives.

We are told that the home carries out peoples needs assessments and has meetings with Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 35 Evidence: the funding authority, and the persons family. This is to make sure that the home is able to meet the persons needs. The people in the home have contracts so they know about their rights and responsibilities of staying at the home. The AQAA says what we could do better is to continue to listen to our service users. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 35 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. Care plans are indivisualised in a format the people understand to meet their needs. Evidence: All the people in the home have care planning documents. We looked at two peoples care plans in detail and discussed their care needs with staff on duty. They had good understanding of the needs of the people. The plans had information about the peoples health, personal and social care needs. The care plans were being reviewed on a six monthly basis or when needs changed. The home had completed the person centred planning (PCP) with five people and one person refused to do one. Two people did some work on this but got stressed and this was not carried on further. We were told that PCP was done with the support of the day centre and the peoples key workers being involved in the process. The people were proud of their plans. Reviews for the people were being held by social services on an annual basis. The Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 35 Evidence: manager did three and six monthly reviews and a copy is sent to the peoples family to keep them up to date of the progress made of their family member. The home was having a review on one of the peoples care needs by a continuing care assessor on the day of the inspection. A range of risk assessments are in place that enable the people to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. The peoples information was kept secure in the office. The AQAA says for our plans for improvements in the next 12 months is focusing more on our service users needs. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 35 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. Meals served are nutritious so that the people have a balanced diet to meet their needs. Evidence: One of the people told us that they now have a key to their own bedroom and were able to lock their door. They kept their bedroom clean and tidy and had things that they enjoyed collecting. There was a picture on their wall that they had painted and said that they were proud of this. It was said that the staff knocked on their door before they come inside their room. We were told that they used to help out in a cafe and they wanted to go back to the place. It was said that the home and their social worker were helping them with this. We were told that they had been offered other day care places but they only wanted to help out in the cafe. The advocacy service was also involved in this process. At present the person went out twice a week with staff from the day centre. We were told by one person that the home was a nice place and I am getting used to Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 35 Evidence: it. It was also said that they had made friends in the home. They some times helped with washing up in the kitchen, doing their laundry, answer the homes phone and the front door. We were told that their money was kept in the office. This was because they used to look after their own money but used to spend it all. They feel happy now that the staff help them manage their money better. Most of the people in the home have families and they maintain contact with them. One person told us that I sometimes see my family in town. We were told that the people in the home go on holiday abroad with staff in small groups. One person said that they went on a plane and enjoyed this. They had been to Tenerife. The people go to the pub on Fridays and on Saturdays they go to town. Some people go to the movies, and to the local shops. One person likes to help out with cooking, and do this at the day centre. the people go on day trips and they went to Blackpool recently. The people choose the meals by using pictures and this is recorded in the meal book. We asked a person what was for dinner and they were not able to tell us. This was discussed with the manager and we were told that they will now display the meal for the day/week in the kitchen. This is so every one is able to see and know what meals they are having each day. The AQAA says what we could do better is to continue to support our service users about the way they have chosen to live their lifes. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 35 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. Peoples health care needs are met by the home. Evidence: One person spoken to said that the staff helped them with personal care when they needed help. Staff spoken to also explained how they provided personal care to some people. Evidence in the care records showed that people are offered support for their physical and emotional health needs. One person in the home now needs two staff to support them. The person had a reclining chair, commode and a special bed to meet their needs. The staff use a stair climber to get the person downstairs. This was recommended by the fire officer and the occupational therapist. The person has breakfast in their room. We were told that the staff do exercises in the morning with the person as instructed by the physio therapist. On the day of the inspection the physio therapist was observed doing exercises with the person. We were told that the person came downstairs from their room at 2pm and stays downstairs until 5pm. We discussed this with the manager and it was agreed by them Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 35 Evidence: that they will bring the person downstairs for lunch. This is to ensure the person is not spending too much time in their room. A chart for turning the person in bed at night time was seen. This was to minimise the person from getting sores. We were told that when the person was discharged from hospital, they had bed sores. These were now healed. There were records of district nurses, general practitioner, and hospital appointments, and people have access to the opticians, dentists, and other health care professionals. One person told us that if they did not feel well, they would tell the staff. It was also said that staff accompany those people who needed this help. The home had health action plans and these were completed in picture format and had information about peoples health needs. There were risk assessments in place for nutritional, pressure sore, wound care, and in other areas to keep the people safe. The AQAA says the service users wish is incorporated in their care plan which is done with them and they say how they want to be cared for. Annual health checks are also carried out. The home has a new medication and controlled drugs cupboard. These are kept secure in the office. We were told that all staff who gave out medication had received the accredited training. There were medication profiles for each person. The medication records looked at showed that there were no gaps in the record. The records and medication checked was satisfactory. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 24 of 35 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 peoples concerns are listened to by staff to ensure their needs are met. Evidence: The home has a complaints policy and the people spoken to say that if they had any concerns, they would talk to the staff. The complaints procedure is displayed in the home. The manager says that the staff chats with our service users and relatives. Issues raised are solved immediately and plans are put in place to reduce the level of occurrence. The manager tells us that they have not had any formal complaints, however it was said that they document any issues related to complaints even if the complainant does not want to make it formal. One concern was raised from an anonymous person about the home to the safe guarding team of social services. This concern was investigated by them and it was not substantiated. The staff spoken to informed us that they had completed the safe guarding of vulnerable adults procedures training. They had good understanding of this and understood the peoples behaviours to know if they were unhappy or not feeling well. However it was said that most of the people in the home know how to make a complaint to the home or the day centre or their family if they are not happy. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 25 of 35 Evidence: The AQAA says for our plan for improvements for the next 12 months is to have more staff awareness on ethical issues that might develop from complaints or comment.
