What the care home does well People using the service were provided with sufficient information that would enable them to make a informed choice before accepting a place. The service has a Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide, which is under review to develop it in an alternative format and to ensure that the details are relevant. Each person choosing the service would be fully assessed prior to moving into the service so they can be assured their personal, physical, emotional, social and spiritual needs can be met. Arrangements were in place for the continued health care of the people, this was evidenced during the inspection when one person attended an arranged appointment for their health. Medication is stored satisfactorily in a locked metal cupboard within individuals bedrooms, this practice protects the people. Observation of people during the entire inspection was of individuals making choices, this includes the food they were prepared, using the summer house, helping in the garden, and their social life for the week. Accommodation is clean, well maintained, furnished in a homely style with comfortable quality furniture and fittings. We were told by the people that they had chosen the colour for their bedrooms. Staffing levels were sufficient to meet the needs of all the people at the service who are currently in need of limited personal support. We confirmed staff training from records and verbally by the staff. This ensures that they are able to meetand safeguard the people`s needs. The owner is also the registered manager, she is part of the hands on staff team and supports the people using the service and the staff on a daily basis. What has improved since the last inspection? The provider has addressed the recommendations of the fire officer following a spot check by the fire service. The service has continued to promote more choice while recognising the needs of the last person using the service. The provider has given the opportunity for one of the staff to take the National Vocational Qualification level 4 and Leadership and Management Qualification. Decoration of the service continues with each person choosing the colour for their bedrooms. The provider has purchased a summer house which is equipped with heating, television and comfortable seating. This enables people to have the option to relax in an alternative environment.

peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: This unannounced key inspection was carried out on the 18th August 2009. By one inspector who used the National Minimum Standards for Younger Adults (18-65) as a basis for the report and inspection. The visit took place between the hours of 8am and 3:15pm when we were assisted by the people using the service, provider and staff. The inspection procedure concentrates on outcomes for people using the service and how people experience the care and support provided. Prior to the inspection taking place we looked at various documents including the last report and any notifications, these are a legal requirement to tell us about any incidents or accidents that have occurred. This information helps us to see how well the service has operated in the past. We sent to the service an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) and surveys Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years)
Page 6 of 27 for the staff and people using the service to provide us with their comments about the service. The AQAA was returned to us in within the timescale, the document was hand written and some words were no easy to comprehend. This was discussed with the provider, who will complete future AQAAs on line. However the AQAA provided detailed information which was used as part of the report. The AQAA is a legal requirement, it enables the service to focus on the outcomes for the people using the service, improvements made since the last inspection. It also provides us with some numerical information about the service and the staff. During this key inspection various methods were used to gather information for the report to identify how the service meets the needs of the people who use the service. We spent time with all the people in the lounge/summer house to ascertain their lifestyles, choice and routines. We spoke to the staff on duty and had discussions with the provider, who is part of the working team. We spoke to all the people living at the service and to three relatives from one family. We were told by the people living at the service on numerous occasions during the inspection that I like living here, I came from another home, I go out, and I look after the plants. We looked at records relevant to the care of individuals, the environment, and food prepared. Of the three people living at the service we case tracked one person, this involves speaking to them, reading the care plan, risk assessment, daily records, social and health support needed to meet their needs.

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. People who wish to move into the service receive all the information that they require and they are fully assessed so that they can be assured the service can meet their needs Evidence: The services completed AQAA told us that no person would be admitted to the service without a full assessment of their personal, emotional and health needs. We evidenced from the records that the support needed was reviewed on a monthly basis; this was with the person using the service and any other relevant person including family and social workers. It was identified that the current pre-admission process is satisfactory. The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide was made available to us. This enables any prospective person to know what service they could expect. We were told by the provider a new Statement of Purpose was under development, we discussed the requirement that current fees should be added to the documents.

Various audits take place to ensure that systems and practices are followed and that fixtures and fittings are well maintained. Records regarding checks on fire equipment and the testing of the system were satisfactory. The provider had responded to the fire officers letter following a spot check. Staff undertake regular fire training, this practice ensures that the people are protected in the event of an emergency.
