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 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. Prospective service users will be able to make an informed choice and have their needs fully assessed before deciding to live at the home. Evidence: Service users told us that they had been involved in choosing to live at the home. They had visited this and other homes before reaching a decision. They confirmed that their needs had been assessed before they moved in. All said that they had made the right choice. Each service user has a written contract. The records we looked at showed that each person had a full needs assessment carried out by their care manager or social worker and by the staff at the home. The homes assessments are comprehensive and include family and other contacts that are important to the service user. Choices, wishes, personal goal and risks are also included. Where service users require specialist assessments, copies of these have also been obtained by the home. For people who are over 65 years old the home carries out additional assessments, that are specifically related to ageing. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 28 Evidence: These documents were signed by the staff from the home and the service users. In surveys all staff who returned these to us confirmed that they receive enough information about the needs of each service user, to offer appropriate support. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 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 excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Service users are involved in decisions about their lives and are encouraged to play an active role in planning the care and support they receive. Evidence: In the records we examined each service user had a very clear and comprehensive service user plan. These had been devised from the assessment process. There was evidence that service users had been involved in producing these. Their choices and decisions were clearly recorded, particularly in circumstances where their consent was required. Plans had been reviewed recently. Plain language is used in the service user plans. And for one person a part of the assessment has been produced in the service users first language. In response to surveys, we received very positive comments from professionals who know the home. One person commented that - I find that the staff use a very person centred approach toward their clients which is enlightening. They work hard to integrate new residents into the home culture
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 28 Evidence: The service user plans include risk management plans and these also show that service users have been involved in reaching agreements about these. In surveys returned to us service users confirmed that they could decide how and where they spend their time. This was confirmed in the descriptions of social activity and in the daily reports in service user plans. Each plan includes a statement about confidentiality and access. Each service user has a keyworker on the staff team to support their individualised care. There is evidence in the records that family support and other forms of representation are encouraged. Daily reports are maintained and meetings take place with service users on an individual basis and as a group. The records from all of these show that the home acts upon the results of consultation with service users. Service user told us that they have plenty of opportunities to talk to staff and the manager and that they felt they are listened to. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 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.

Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 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. Service users health and support needs will be recognised and their choices will be respected. Generally medication is well managed. Storage can be improved. Evidence: The people who live at the service currently are all relatively independent requiring minimal support with personal care. Some people may need prompting and reminders from time to time. To protect the privacy and dignity of service users, their preferences and any decisions reached are clearly recorded in the service user plans. For example decisions to do with managing illness are recorded. Each service user plan we examined included information about the health care needs of the service user concerned and this was clearly recorded. In surveys the staff confirmed that they receive training that provides them with the correct level of knowledge about health care and how to manage certain illnesses. We found certificates for training in these matters in staff files. The following comment was made by a visiting professional in a returned surveyCare Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 28 Evidence: ...one of the residents with whom I work recently experienced a serious physical health concern. The level of both practical and emotional support offered by the staff team was excellent. Service users do not need any technical aids or equipment. Service users care records showed that they have access to external health care services. G.Ps visit when necessary. Service users are referred for specialist health care if appropriate. All service users receive regular health care checks. The medication systems were examined for ordering, receiving, administering and disposal. These are well managed. All staff have had accredited medication training. The home has developed clear policies, procedures and codes of practice to do with safe handling of medication. Other professional policy and guidance documents are also available. Controlled drugs are not currently prescribed. However the home has a storage facility for this purpose. Other medications are securely stored in a lockable cupboard. One set of keys is available. Medications requiring refrigerated storage are kept separately in a fridge that is not lockable. But the staff said that the door to the stairs leading to this room would be kept locked when not in use. Some additional safeguards were discussed with the deputy manager. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 28 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. Staff training, policies and procedures protect service users from harm and people feel their concerns would be acted upon. Evidence: The home has a written complaints procedure. A copy of this is openly displayed in the hallway. A copy of the service user guide is also available here and this contains a large print version of the procedure. In surveys both staff and service users told us that they know what to do and who to contact if they have any concerns. Service users said that they would feel comfortable raising their concerns and felt that staff would listen to them. The home keeps a record of complaints. The last recorded complaint was dated July 2007. The matter had been fully investigated and resolved. The records of meetings with service users show that these take place on a regular basis. The home has written procedures for staff to follow if raising concerns about the treatment or well being of service users. These are- a whistle blowing and an adult protection procedure. The latter is a very clear and helpful guide for staff in dealing with protection of service users. It includes steps to be taken and the details of persons to be contacted. The staff files show that staff have received awareness and updated training in

The home has clear written polices and procedures for the handling of finances belonging to service users. The transaction records were not examined at this inspection. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 28 Environment

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic.

We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home provides a comfortable and safe environment for the people living there. Evidence: The home was clean, well decorated and well maintained. The home is in a residential location, near to all the amenities of the town. The grounds were tidy, safe, and accessible. The home has an appropriate amount of sitting, recreational and dining space. Service users can see visitors in private in their own rooms.

The laundry facilities are located in the basement, and are well organised. Service users do not have access to the basement area. The washing machine has the specified programme to meet disinfection standards. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 28 Staffing
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 have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent, qualified staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable. People’s needs are met and they are supported because staff get the right training, supervision and support they need from their managers. 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. The service user are supported by a trained and confident staff team. The homes recruitment process protects service users, but some checks not up to date. Evidence: The staff files show that staff are recruited through formal procedures that take up necessary background checks and references. Some of the background checks had not been updated recently. For example some criminal record checks were dated 2004. One of these was for a person recently recruited. Some did not include protection of vulnerable adult checks. Staff turnover is very low. In surveys staff confirmed that enough staff are on duty to meet the individual needs of service users. This amounts to two care staff on duty through the day and one in the evening and one person overnight seeping in. The staff said that they are rarely required to get up through the night. But on call arrangements are in place out of daytime hours, should they be needed in an emergency. All the staff are over 18 years of age and staff left in charge are over 21. The staff surveys confirmed that staff feel that they are supported fully. The files show that staff receive regular supervisions and appraisal and that past training is certificated and future training is planned for the year ahead. Staff could give specific examples
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 28 Evidence: where training had supported them to care for service users. Three of the five staff employed hold a national vocational qualification (NV) at level 2 or above. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 28 Conduct and management of the home
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 have confidence in the care home because it is run and managed appropriately. People’s opinions are central to how the home develops and reviews their practice, as the home has appropriate ways of making sure they continue to get things right. The environment is safe for people and staff because health and safety practices are carried out. 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. The service is well managed. Service users views are taken into account in self monitoring, review and development of the service. Evidence: The management arrangements at the home have not changed since the last inspection. The manager/provider is a qualified and experienced person who also manages another home and covers the rota for this home for part of the week. The deputy manager also holds the registered managers award and deputises fully in the managers absence. Staff understand their roles and the manager takes on quality assurance responsibilities additional to managing the service. The quality assurance process is very clear and well documented. It includes taking up the views of service users, staff and other interested parties. There is a system for analysing the results and objectively scoring the outcomes. Most outcomes are positive or very positive and the manager has responded to areas highlighted for improvement. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 24 of 28 Evidence: The home is well maintained and improvements have been made to the fabric of the building since the last inspection. New carpets were being laid on the day of the visit and there is an ongoing maintenance plan for the year ahead.
