What the care home does well The overall picture gained was that people living in the home were supported by a well-qualified staff team to live a life style of their choosing. The staff team have recently become more proactive at helping people to consider their options and some people are being supported to consider moving onto a less supported environment or a home of their own. People are supported to pursue their interests and hobbies and have a good social life where they are able to mix with their peers and maintain friendships. They regularly access the facilities and amenities of the local community. One person living in the home responded in their survey: "My care needs are always met and my privacy respected. They respond if I have any concerns about any problems that may arise. I am happy with the care service I receive at Hollydyke".Each person has a detailed healthcare plan and individual risk assessments to enable them to stay safe and well whilst leading normal lives. The health and safety monitoring in the home is carried out to particularly high standards ensuring the well being of people living and working at the home. What has improved since the last inspection? Walsingham have reviewed their recruitment procedure to allow staff to be recruited into vacancies in a more timely and succinct fashion. Permanent staffing levels have improved reducing the pressure on staff to cover shifts. The manager and staff now have a better understanding of how to safeguard people from harm or abuse, and the majority of staff have undergone training in this area. The care planning systems have improved to make them more individual to meeting the needs of people living in the home. These are being developed in a style termed "person centred", which when fully introduced will make care and support even more tailored to individuals specific needs. Most noticeably during this inspection was the move to help people to become more independent, for example in managing their own finances or health care or enabling people to move into their own house. This has involved more dedicated one to one time with people by keyworkers and has led to more dynamic care plans that have been individualised to good effect. What the care home could do better: While the manager carries out a lot measures to ensure the home is well run, a suggestion was made to put this into a format called a Quality Assurance System. This will help with monitoring and can be added to the homes Statement of Purpose to allow prospective new people to see all that goes on to make this a good home.

The quality rating for this service is 2 star. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This inspection visit took place over one day. We (Commission for Social Care Inspection, CSCI) spent time with people living in the home and talking to them about their experiences and how they like to be supported to live their lives. We also met with staff on duty and looked at records relating to the running of the home. We also sent out surveys as part of this inspection to get feedback from people living in the home, their relatives and representatives and other professionals involved with the home. Before the visit the manager completed an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA), which provided information about all aspects of the running of the home. This included a self-assessment against the National Minimum Standards (NMS), recording what the home does well, what has improved and plans for the future. On the day of the visit four people where at home and the house had a lively and friendly atmosphere with people busy having lunch and spending time in their own rooms, and going out for walks. One person was at college and another was on holiday with two members of staff. What the service does well: The overall picture gained was that people living in the home were supported by a well-qualified staff team to live a life style of their choosing. The staff team have recently become more proactive at helping people to consider their options and some people are being supported to consider moving onto a less supported environment or a home of their own. People are supported to pursue their interests and hobbies and have a good social life where they are able to mix with their peers and maintain friendships. They regularly access the facilities and amenities of the local community. One person living in the home responded in their survey: “My care needs are always met and my privacy respected.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People’s individual needs and preferences are assessed to ensure a suitable service can be provided. EVIDENCE: A statement of purpose clearly sets out the objectives and philosophy of the service, and provides good clear information about the home. The guide is precise in what the prospective resident can expect and gives a good detailed account of the quality of the accommodation, qualifications and experience of staff, and how to make a complaint. Good use of photographs makes the guide clear and user friendly. Clear information about contracts/terms and conditions, is available in a format appropriate to the individual resident, and their family. Staff spend time with prospective residents to ensure they understand the terms and conditions of the placement. These are also signed by the person or a representative. This is good practice in ensuring people are fully informed of their rights and obligations. Holly Dyke has not had any new people moving in for a number of years but the manager demonstrated that they are mindful of peoples needs to be constantly reassessed. The manager has recently arranged for people to be Holly Dyke DS0000022677.V367694.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 reassessed by a socialworker in order to assist them in making future plans and decisions on where they would like to live and with whom. The organisation informed us that training is planned for managers in carrying out and assisting in assessments to ensure people are appropriately consulted and best matched to the resources of services in order that their needs can be met. Holly Dyke DS0000022677.V367694.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7, 8 and 9 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans are informative and reflect individual needs and choices, providing staff with valuable information to provide people with personalised support. EVIDENCE: People have care plans that are active documents and demonstrate the home’s careful monitoring of changing needs in order to ensure they can meet people’s needs. Care plans are in a style termed “Person Centred Plans” and staff use a variety of skills and ways to engage residents in planning their care and setting goals. Residents are involved through picture work, symbols, charts, and graphs and are encouraged to take ownership of their plans. And this is helped by plans being written in the first person and by the use of personal photographs. As one relative put it “They take the time to find out what makes each individual tick”. Holly Dyke DS0000022677.V367694.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 They are regularly reviewed and kept up to date, involving residents, their families and their representatives. One person spoke about their care plan and described how they had set it up with staff help however felt “they were in charge” and during the inspection said to staff that they were ready to add another goal. They described how their plan had helped them to make significant personal growth and they had been very proud of their achievements. The home and the organisation are keen to involve residents in consultations and planning and a number of strategies are used to promote user involvement, for example through life skills groups and training, forums, and advocacy groups. The AQAA described these measures: Within Holly Dyke the service users are empowered to make their own choices and decisions. Service users are involved in staff recruitment and follow through to the initial review of staff members. The Service Users at Holly Dyke have regular meetings which they use to discuss issues within the home. The home has a business plan which is service user led and promotes the views of the service user group. To ensure people can live a life of their choosing assessments and care plans are cross-referenced to risk assessments to ensure people are safe. The assessments and care plans record information relating to personal care needs, health care, communication, medication, promoting independence and cultural needs. The areas assessed are wide ranging ensuring people are kept safe, while enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle of their choice. Plans also take into account capacity of the person to make an informed decision and the support required to do this. If a person is assessed as not able to make a certain type of decision the Mental Capacity Act guidelines are used and a “Best Interest” meeting is called with all relevant people to assist in drawing up a plan of action. This all ensures a personalised service is provided that responds to the diverse needs of people living in the home.

The majority of the administration side of recruitment is carried out at a separate Head Holly Dyke DS0000022677.V367694.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Office but systems are in place to ensure the manager is kept fully informed. People living in the home are involved and supported in the selection and interview process and can have an influence on choosing the staff that support them. These are all good practices to ensure that residents are supported by a carefully selected and vetted staff team. A framework for supervisions and appraisals is in place, and these have been carried out to good standards; staff reported that these are helpful and they feel well supported by the manager and assistant managers. A file of a new member of staff was examined and this demonstrated a thorough induction into the home, its policies and procedures. This included a more intensive and frequent supervision programme and a shadowing period based on the individuals persons experience, confidence and competency, as measured by the manager. Staff training has had a higher profile recently with the manager keeping a training plan for the home. Staff interviewed were keen to gain new knowledge and skills that will assist them in supporting residents. Over three quarters of staff have a recognised care qualification- NVQ2 in Care and above.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39 and 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from a home that is well-run by the manager, and by the systems of the organisation, which ensure that they are central, and their views are valued and acted upon. EVIDENCE: The manager promotes an open, positive and inclusive atmosphere in the home through a variety of ways, for example: regular staff meetings and supervision; regular residents meetings and frequent reviews and meeting with people to give them the opportunity to speak up. Holly Dyke DS0000022677.V367694.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 The home is well managed by an experienced and competent manager, who in turn is supported by a committed staff team, who together run the home in the best interests of residents. Record keeping is of a consistently high standard. Records are kept securely and staff are aware of the requirements of the Data Protection Act. The administration systems within the home were found to be up-to-date and in good order, ensuring the home was run in an efficient and safe manner. The health and safety monitoring in the home is carried out to particularly high standards with many of these responsibilities being delegated to an assistant manager. For example this person is the Fire Warden and carries out the drills and training for staff and residents, which is constantly varied to make it more interesting and meaningful with the use of DVDs. The Fire Risk Assessment was examined and done in a thorough manner, as was the assessment for determining the level of first aid training required by staff in the home. The manager monitors many areas of care practice, staff practice and the physical aspects of the running of the home to ensure that standards are maintained. It was recommended that this be pulled together into a Qaulity Assurance System and a summary incorporated into the homes Statement of Purpose to give an overview of how the quality of the service is montiored. All sections of the AQAA were completed and the information gives a reasonable picture of the current situation within the service.
