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.

Some care plans have enough information to show how they would be supported with their diverse needs including behaviour or communication, and gave detailed information about what each person likes and doesnt like. In discussions with staff they were able to explain the way in which people staying at

Staff responded well to non verbal requests from people at Hillcote and showed that they were able to meet both the persons needs and choices especially when they wanted their meals and drinks. Staff were observed to be respectful and seemed to have a good rapport with each of the people at the service. The opportunity for Residents to make decisions and their needs known, relies to some extent on the Staff team understanding and responding to their non-verbal communcications. This was observed during our visit and staff had a good rapport with people living at the service. The care plans also reflected the staffs understanding and knowledge and rapport with people at Hillcote. Following the previous inspection visit staff have made developments and reviews regarding the future of one person so that there needs will eventually be met in an environment with people that are more compatible to each other. Staff explained that they used to have group meetings called circle meetings which had lapsed due to the service not having a manager at present. However staff felt they were beneficial to help communication within the service and hoped to start them again on a regular basis. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 28 Lifestyle

We looked at previous records which showed good discussions on everything at the home keeping everyone informed and included in the developments of their home. During our visit we met three people who live at the home as the other two people were still on their holiday with staff. Staff explained that they had organized various holidays for everyone at Hillcote and supported each of them with their trips out locally.
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 28 Evidence: They also explained that the company have a holiday budget of approximately 800 pounds for each person to use each year, although this is currently not advertised in the statement of purpose. The service has its own minibus which was in use with the people who had gone on holiday. This left the service without its own transport and staff described various problems in being unable to always access public transport due to the needs of the residents. This issue needs to be reviewed so that people are not restricted in accessing the community and always have the opportunity to go out whenever they want regardless of the minibus being in use. Daily diaries give details on what each person has done each day and in the past staff had completed activity programme to help planning support each week for each activity. Staff acknowledged they had not completed them recently but there were plans to reinstate them again. A sample of bedrooms showed that each person is supported to decorating their room with personalized belongings that refected their choices, hobbies and personalities.

The health records showed good support in visiting the doctors when assistance and advice was needed. We met two of the people who lived at Hillcote and generally chatted to the staff during our visit. Most comments made were quite positive.

We looked at the management of financial records for 2 residents and these were found to be accurately managed and detailed in records. The staff explained they are in the process of updating the management of residents finances and have licenses

Evidence: All bedrooms are single and there are various sizes some larger than others. Some bedrooms are very personalised and reflect each persons character and personality with lots of personalised items. One bedroom was very bare and reflected the persons needs. This area would benefit from a regular input of maintenance and refurbishment due to the persons assessed needs. Staff had tried to improvise by carrying out some decoration to help maintain the persons dignity and privacy. Generally the home is decorated to an adequate standard. A sample of maintenance certificates were seen which showed up to date checks as listed in the homes pre inspection questionnaire which helped show what actions were taken to keep the home safe and well maintained. However some were out of date and staff agreed to try and review and check that all safety checks are carried out. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 28 Staffing

Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 28 Evidence: mandatory training and updates. Staff need updated training to help keep them up to date in their practices and help to appropriately support residents.

We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home is adequately managed and the health and safety of people at Hillcote is promoted and protected. Evidence: The home is visited on a regular basis by a representative of the organisation. These visits form part of the quality assurance process and form an opinion on the standard of care and support provided. These visits are also a requirement of the care home regulations and a report has to be produced to show evidence of these checks. We looked at a sample of these checks which showed detailed areas looked at by senior staff which helped give additional management of the standards achieved at the service. Records and certificates showed that regular checks are carried out on the building and equipment. This includes checking electrical appliances and the gas supply. These checks help to make sure that the environment is well managed and is a safe place to live and work in. However staff could not find all of the updated certificates for the
