What the care home does well To make sure the home can meet peoples care and support needs these are assessed before coming to live in the home. The assessments are very comprehensive and include peoples’ choices and preferences and ambitions for the future. People are fully involved in their assessments and reviewing their care plans and sign them to show they agree with what is written. The tone of the home is set by the people living there. People were observed throughout the visit being treated with dignity and having their wishes respected. One person says they “like living at Meadow View” another says “My room is great” another said they “like feeding the chickens” and helping with the gardening. Nearly everyone showed the inspector their bedrooms and are very proud of their possessions. Peoples’ bedrooms are personalised and people have them as they want. Some people were in the kitchen washing up after breakfast. Three people told the inspector they are moving to a house of their own. One person says they “are a little sad to leave” but they are “excited” about having a home of their own. The acting manager said “Care staff has been working with people to improve their independent living skills”. The records show that people are supported to take advantage of ordinary community based healthcare and leisure services. The risk assessments show people are expected to take risks in pursuing the living of an ordinary lifestyle. Records show some people are supported by the Community Learning Disability Team and Specialist Social Workers. People are protected by the way staff are recruited and selected and safeguarded from any kind of abuse. Trained and qualified staff support people and make sure they are happy and safe. Meadow View DS0000006199.V375805.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 What has improved since the last inspection? One person showed the inspector the ‘new’ chickens and said they “help to feed them and look after them”. The Deputy Manager said everyone in the home enjoys helping with the chickens. One person says they help sometimes with the garden and there is a photograph of them gardening displayed in the home. One person said they “like playing pool” and showed the inspector the new games room complete with new pool table and darts board. They showed the inspector photographs of them playing pool. Three people are currently being supported and prepared for moving to their own home. The records show they have continued to develop independent living skills and the assessments show they are now ready to move into a supported living service. The manager and staff team are to be commended for their efforts in promoting peoples independence and securing a future home. What the care home could do better: Most people living in the home can do most things for themselves. However, some need assistance with their money and medicines and these are managed by the home. Some people can go out of the home and travel independently however records show that some people have to be supported. The home may consider providing some Mental Capacity Act training for staff and in particular around the Deprivation of Liberty Assessments. For the benefit and comfort of people living in the home a tour of the premises found some of the bedrooms need to be redecorated as they have paper boarders torn and marks and scratches on the walls. The garden to the rear of the home looks like a ‘meadow’ and requires some work to make a pleasant area for people to sit and relax in the summer months. The returned service users surveys and minutes of residents meetings and daily records show people have a say and comment on the running of the home and quality of services provided. However, this information is collated centrally and general report published by the service providers. The manager may consider providing an easy read report for the home reflecting service user’s views and any changes made to the way the home runs as a result of their comments.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 32, 34, and 35.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.

One support worker with NVQ Level 3 said they would like to attend the Level 4 course but that there was no opportunity currently to do this. The staff rota shows there is enough staff planned to be on duty to meet peoples care and support needs. On the day of the visit there appeared to be enough staff available to meet peoples’ needs in a relaxed and unhurried manner. However, one support worker expressed Meadow View DS0000006199.V375805.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 concern about the night support arrangements and in particular only having one sleeping in staff supporting 17 service users some of whom have Epilepsy.

To protect the rights of people living in the home because some people cannot manage their own finances or medicines or go out of the home independently, the service providers might consider Mental Capacity Act training and in Particular Deprivation of Liberty Assessment training for staff supporting people living in the home.

During the visit there was a full fire drill and everyone evacuated the home in less than two minutes. People living in the home and those supporting them are to be commended for their efforts in keeping themselves and others safe. The returned quality assurance surveys show that people living in the home and their relatives have the opportunity to comment on the quality of the services provided by the home. However, the Annual Quality Assurance Report for 2008 shows the information is collated regionally and does not reflect directly the comments made by people living at Meadow View. This report is not provided in an easy read format so people living in the home would have difficulty understanding what it says.
