Latest Inspection
This is the latest available inspection report for this service, carried out on 2nd November 2009. CQC has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CQC judgement.
The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection
report. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done.
The inspector also made 3 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.
For extracts, read the latest CQC inspection for High Street (196).
What the care home does well The service has improved since the last inspection. A new manager has been appointed. This manager appears to put the care of the residents at the heart of the home. Staff no longer work very long hours and are therefore better able to respond to the needs of the residents. The staff appeared to be caring and kind any interaction we saw was carried out with kindness and affection. Meal times were better organised staff sit with the residents and create a calm atmosphere where the residents can enjoy their meals. Complaints were responded to in a timely manner and relatives we spoke with told us that they were getting responses to their queries and worries. We saw the residents being taken outside to enjoy the fresh air. There are better activities and care was taken to ensure all residents where possible had a holiday. The care plans are more focused on caring for the individual and their needs that on tasks that need to be carried out. The home was bright and clean. Many rooms have been decorated giving the home a more domestic atmosphere. What has improved since the last inspection? In addition to the above the new manager is in place and she has made improvements to the home. There is a more homely atmosphere and the residents appeared calmer. A new driver has been appointed making it possible High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 for the residents to go out more. Care plans are more detailed giving staff better direction on how to care for the residents. We observed staff sit with residents over lunch and assist them in a manner that promoted dignity and respect. One resident we spoke with showed us photographs of a recent family event they attended. They told us that staff assisted them in all possible manners. Parents are now offered regular meetings with staff to ensure involvement in the running of the home. More care is taken to ensure that the needs of the individual are met. By this we mean that staff have more time to carry out handovers at the finish of each shift. Care plans detail the needs of the residents well and give staff good instruction on how to meet the resident’s needs. What the care home could do better: The home recently had its budget cut by the providers. We were told that the cut in the budget impacts on the home in so far as there is not sufficient funds to provide a choice at mealtimes for the residents. Staff who sit down to eat with the residents to create a homely atmosphere are now forced to eat different food to them. Not all the residents understand the reason for this. Good progress has been made on the care plans, however this needs to be finished as a matter of urgency. The mix of residents continues to make it difficult for staff to meet all the resident’s needs. There are residents who live on the top floor who would better have their needs met if they were on the ground floor with free access to fresh air. Staff continue to have a heavy workload in so far as caring for residents with very complex needs they still have to clean the home, cook for the residents and carry out the resident’s laundry needs. Many of the residents are unable to assist with the domestic tasks. Key inspection report CARE HOME ADULTS 18-65

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is one star. This means people who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes.
This inspection was carried out by one inspector over one day. We spoke to people who use the service, staff, The Manager of the service and visitors to the home. We looked at records pertaining to the care of the people who live in the home, the recruitment, selection and training of staff. Prior to the inspection the Manager sent us a copy of the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) this is a legal requirement and the Manager returned it to us in a timely manner. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
In addition to the above the new manager is in place and she has made improvements to the home. There is a more homely atmosphere and the residents appeared calmer. A new driver has been appointed making it possible

Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 8 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the 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 people who use the service can be sure their needs and aspirations are assessed to ensure plans of care are drawn up that meet their identified needs. EVIDENCE: There have been no new referrals since the last inspection. The people who are admitted to the home have had a full assessment. However, none of the younger resident were admitted with their life history, this should have been written up by the professionals who were responsible for their care and their referral to the home. Staff continue to amass information pertaining to the service users from their families. This information assists staff in meeting the needs, wants and wishes of the residents who are unable to tell staff what their wishes are. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 9 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Not all the people who use this service can be sure that their identified needs and wishes will be met. EVIDENCE: We looked at three care plans. The care plans contained good information on the three residents. Some of the care plans had been re-written since the last inspection we asked to see one of them. We noted that information is written in the first person i.e. I slept well last night. The person in question could not have written or verbalised this themselves. Other places in the care plan staff had written observations e.g. X was sleeping when checked throughout the night. This is confusing and as residents can’t always express themselves therefore there is no way of knowing if that is what they wish to say. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 10 The home endeavours to involve families in the drawing up of care plans and the information contained in the care plans reflected our finding at the site visit. Staff are aware of the need to promote the independence of the residents, this is done through thorough risk assessments that highlight risks and identify what can be done to reduce them to ensure all foreseeable risks are identified and plans put in place around them. Staff are dedicated to promoting the independence of the residents and work closely with families to ensure that the residents have as much independence as possible. The only barrier to this is the staffing numbers - this is explored later in the report. The home keeps information pertaining to the residents in a locked cupboard and only staff and families have access to this information. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 11 Lifestyle
The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): This is what people staying in this care home experience: People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Not all people who use this service can be sure that their needs will be identified and met. EVIDENCE: On the day of the site visit we found that some of the residents were at a Day Centre. Others were in their rooms listening to music or were engaged with staff or involved in their own activities. For example one resident was ‘on line’ chatting with friends. Staff have arranged for residents to have outside activities and the opportunity for the residents to meet with friends outside the home. We were told that the home’s food budget had been cut. This was done without consulting the Manager or staff and no communication was made to ensure the residents had a varied diet and alternatives to the main dish should they prefer something else. We noted that there was no choice at the evening
High Street (196)
DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 12 meal. When we asked why we were told that there was not enough resources to do this. We were told that staff’s food budget had to be cut due to lack of funds, when they joined the residents for a meal staff had sandwiches rather than the same as the residents. Not all the residents would understand why staff were eating different food. We were told that all the residents were offered a holiday this year. Those who choose to go on holiday told us that they enjoyed themselves. Every effort is made to ensure that all the residents have the opportunity to go to day centres. Not all the residents are able to take this opportunity due to their complex needs. Those who can’t attend day centres do not appear to have the same quality of life as those who can. There is not enough staff to take some of the residents out on a very regular basis. We noted that one resident who ate their meals outside the dining room at the last inspection was now joining in with the other residents. One resident has been identified as needing equipment in the garden that will offer him comfort we were told that this is being dealt with and should be available to him soon. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support
The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the 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 live in this home can be sure that their personal and healthcare support is carried out in a manner that promotes their physical health. EVIDENCE: We looked at care plans that gave staff instructions on how to administer care to the residents. Each resident has a Health Action Plan that gives staff information relevant to the person. None of the residents are self medicating. We checked the medication procedures and found them to be in order. Medication was stored, administered and recorded appropriately. Residents are accompanied to all health appointments and all routine health checks are carried out regularly. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 14 Concerns, Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the 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 people who use this service can be sure that their complaints are investigated and that they are safeguarded from all forms of abuse. EVIDENCE: Staff we spoke with were aware of whistle blowing and of safeguarding adult’s procedures. Staffing levels have improved since the last inspection and staff’s hours are managed better and staff are no longer work very long hours. The Manager investigates all complaints under the home’s complaints procedures. We were told by resident’s families that they are now getting a response to their complaints. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 15 Environment
The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. All the residents can be sure that the home is comfortable and safe, and clean and hygienic to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The home is bright and clean it is decorated in a domestic style. Many of the communal rooms have been decorated since the last inspection. The home was clean and fresh. All the resident’s rooms were decorated to reflect their taste and were personalised in the furnishings. The garden was well tended to and well suited to the high needs of the residents. We saw that it was not being used on the day of the inspection
High Street (196)
DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 16 despite the day being dry and sunny. The Manager told us that she was planning to erect a swing for one of the residents as this is knows to offer them solace. The Manager also plans to use the garden for the residents to grown their own vegetables. We were told that some of the residents want to do this. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 17 Staffing
The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Some of the people using this service do not have their all their identified needs met. EVIDENCE: We were unable to check all the recruitment records as they were stored at head office. We found the staff on duty to be both dedicated and have a good knowledge of the needs of the residents. The training of staff is good and while we were unable to see the records on recruitment the manager told us that she is happy with the calibre of staff recruited. Staff have very heavy work loads. They are responsible for the care of very vulnerable young people with complex needs in addition to this they cook all the meals, they clean the home and they do all the laundry for the home.
High Street (196)
DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 18 There are residents both upstairs and downstairs in the home who need constant attention and two residents who life in rooms next to each other have very different needs i.e. one needs a quite atmosphere and one needs to play their music very loud. Staff have to be very vigilant to ensure both person’s needs are recognised and met. Their rooms can’t be changes as it would create more problems. We were told that the home is being provided with cleaning staff in the near future. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 19 Conduct and Management of the Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The people who use this service cannot always be sure that it will be run in their best interests. EVIDENCE: The new manager took over on May 2009 and had been managing in an acting up capacity since Nov 2008. The registration process has yet to be fully completed. The home has not had a registered manager for a year. The AQAA was returned when we requested it. The new manager has made positive improvements to the home. We have noted some improvement in all aspects of care and life in the home generally. However we note that the very complex needs of the young people cannot
High Street (196)
DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 20 always be met due to the number of residents with very high different needs living so closely together. An example of this is the two residents who have very different needs one who needs a quiet atmosphere and one who needs to play their music very loud. We saw that staff do their best to ensure that neither of the residents are upset. The manager told us that she is well supported by her line manager. We were told that the provider of the service has cut the household budget, this means that there is not sufficient funds to ensure the residents have a choice at mealtimes. Staff do not eat the same food as the residents at meal times as they home’s budget only allows them to have sandwiches. The home staff and residents should eat together to promote a homely atmosphere different food takes from this experience. The manager of the home was not consulted on the budget cuts nor has the provider checked to see the effects of the budget cuts on the resident’s lifestyle. Staff are responsible for cleaning the home. This takes them away from caring for the residents, who, as already stated have very complex needs. The staff now have a handover that allows them to discuss the needs of the service users and to be sure of continuity of care. Staff no longer work very long hours and are therefore better able to respond to the needs of the residents. All the required health and safety checks pertaining to the running of the home were met. These include fire training and checks on equipment. High Street (196) DS0000067371.V378218.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 21 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
