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. People who may want to live in this home and their representatives have the information needed to choose a home and have their needs assessed so that the home can say whether or not they can meet them. Evidence: The home was seen to have a Service User Guide that contained the information that people may want if they are thinking about arranging for someone to live there. The records of a person who had come to live at the home since the last inspection was looked at and these showed that a full assessment of her needs had been carried out before the home manager had decided that it would be a suitable place for her to live. This assessment had identified such things as problems with eating, how well she walks and what her likes and dislikes were. Although the person concerned had difficulties communicating, observing her at various points during the day as well as chatting to her and listening to staff chat to her as they passed showed that she had settled and was happy to be in the home.

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. Looking at the records of two of the people who live in this home showed that their care plans were reviewed by the staff on a regular basis.

Plans of how an individuals healthcare needs should be met were seen to have been developed.

Evidence: The manager confirmed that the home has received three complaints and looking at the complaints records showed how they had been investigated and how the results of the investigation had been communicated to and discussed with the people who had raised the issues. A copy of the homes complaints procedure was seen as was the homes service user guide which was available in an easy read version and these contained the information someone would need if they wished to raise a problem with the home. The manager confirmed that no issues had been referred into the local procedures that are designed to protect vulnerable adults. Although the level of some of the disabilities of some of the people living in this home means that they are unlikely to be able to access the formal policies, observation of the staff talking with them and each other indicated that they, the staff, would be aware of any dissatisfaction expressed and it was seen that a whistle blowing policy is available to be used. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 26 Evidence: The manager also explained that some of the service users monies are managed by the home.

People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. 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 physical design and layout of the home enables people who use the service to live in a safe, well maintained and comfortable environment that encourages independence. Evidence: Kempsfield is divided into three living areas each of which has its own dining room, lounge area and toilet/bathing facilities. Each area was seen to be clean, tidy and with bathing facilities that would meet the needs of the people who live there. A number of the people who live in this home had been identified as having severe mobility issues. Some of the bedrooms were seen to equipped with permanently installed hoists and the bathrooms that the people who live in those rooms use were equipped with similar equipment. A number of the people who live in this home were eager to show their rooms and all indicated that they had been able to decorated them to their own taste. Each room was lockable and some of the people who lived in the home were able to confirm that they could have a key to their room if the wished. The home has a central kitchen in which the main meals for the whole home are Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 26 Evidence: prepared and distributed to each flat. However, each flat has a kitchenette in its dining area so that breakfasts and snack meals can be prepared by the people who live there. The grounds to the home are divided into three separate areas. There is a car park for visitors and staff to the front of the building and to the rear that garden is split into to areas so that one area can be used by the people who live in the Kingfisher flat and the other can be used by the people who live in the Primrose and the Sabrina flats. This latter garden has a basic sensory garden in it as well as a summer house that was bought by one of the people who live in the home for his own use.

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. Staff in the home are trained, skilled and in sufficient numbers to support the people who use the service. Evidence: Looking at the staffing rota and talking with the staff established that staffing levels varied according to what support was needed by the people who live in the home. Various members of staff were heard chatting to and engaging with the service users in a positive and supportive manner. Talking with the manager, the shift leaders and the staff during the inspection confirmed that the majority of the staff had achieved at least National Vocational Qualification level two in care which is a qualification that is considered appropriate for people who work in this kind of service. Talking with the staff showed that they have a good knowledge of the type of issues that are faced by people who use services such as this as well as the more specific issues faced by the individuals that live in this particular home enabling them to play their part in meeting any of the needs that had been identified. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 26 Evidence: The training records showed and the manager and the staff spoken to confirmed that training in such things as food hygiene and moving and handling were up to date. There had been one new member of staff recruited to this home in the last year and looking at the records held at the providers human resources office for that person as well those for people who started work in other services run by the provider showed that appropriate checks are carried out as part of the routines for making sure that those people wishing to work with vulnerable people are fit to do so. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 26 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 management and administration of the home is based on openness and respect, has effective quality assurance systems developed by a qualified, competent manager although improvements may be necessary to mandatory staff training frequencies. Evidence: The manager confirmed that she has gained the Registered Managers Award which is an appropriate qualification for someone running a facility such as this. She confirmed that she had undertaken training in how to manage situations where it was necessary to deprive people of their liberty. She was also able to confirm that no such situations had been identified within this home and therefore no referrals into the local authority procedures that deal with such issues had been necessary. Part of the support that she should receive is the regular completion of the monthly visits by a provider, that are required by law, which look at a range of issues that may affect how the needs of the service users are met. Records showed and talking to the staff confirmed that such visits take place. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 26 Evidence: Records were also seen that showed that residents meetings take place on a regular basis and satisfaction questionnaires were also distributed to people who live in this home and their relatives, with assistance being given on filling them in if required, in order to find out whether they thought their needs were being met. Equality and diversity for the service users were seen to be promoted throughout the home within the assessments, care plans, equipment and activities. A variety of records were seen that showed that safety issues are constantly monitored. Records of such things as fridge freezer temperatures, fire equipment tests, gas safety tests, hot water temperatures and portable appliance testing were seen to have been maintained. Accident records were looked at and these showed that such incidents were monitored by the senior management. Hazardous materials were seen to have been stored in a locked cupboard. Staff records also showed that the mandatory training that is necessary to keep the service users safe has been taking place. This includes training in such things as food hygiene and fire prevention. Staff spoken to confirmed that these records were accurate.
