Service users informed the inspector that they liked the food provided; they liked having meals out and a take away meal too. A balanced and varied diet is provided for the Service Users. The residents have a choice of activities such as day centres and work placements, this leaves weekends free for leisure activities. There are a wide variety of leisure activities available including shopping, trips to local public houses, takeaway meals, swimming, trips to the beach, and attendance at the Gateway club once a week. Residents are able to assist in feeding the pigs, ducks, ferrets and geese on site. Holidays have taken place and planned to include visits to Scotland, Blackpool and Dartmouth. Individual residents have also attended art and computer courses. Residents said that they like the lifestyle that is offered and the variety of things to do. New Witheven is in keeping with a family home. However this has been enhanced by the addition of six en-suite rooms which have been added in apurpose built extension. It is very homely and the residents obviously benefit from the standard of accommodation. Two staff have now completed LDAF Training and the records indicated that staff had received First Aid, Fire, Food Hygiene, Moving and Handling, Protection of Vulnerable Adults training. What has improved since the last inspection? Information obtained for prospective residents and ongoing maintenance of care planning has improved.

Conditions of registration: Date of last inspection 6th September 2006 Brief Description of the Service: New Witheven is a bungalow situated in a quiet rural area. It is the Registered Provider’s home, they live on site and it operates like a family unit. A long narrow lane approaches the home approximately 2 miles from the main A39 at Wainhouse Corner, where there is a hamlet with a shop and public house. The home provides care and accommodation for up to 8 younger adults with a learning disability. At the time of the inspection there were 6 service users living in the home. The accommodation has been improved and upgraded in the past few years to include en-suite rooms and extended communal facilities. There are far reaching countryside views surrounding the bungalow. The Providers own the surrounding area, which creates opportunities for the service users with a variety of animals. There is wheelchair access. Day care is provided separately on site, service users have access to these opportunities depending on their needs. These services are not inspected by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. However the inspector visited and was very impressed with the new ‘chalet’ style facilities that have been provided to replace the previous accommodation. Service users keep in contact with their families and friends and go home at regular intervals. There is an irregular bus service from the main road into Bude, but generally the service users are dependant on transport from the home if they want to go into town e.g. Taxi, or by way of the home’s two minibuses.

The inspection took place on the 26th.August 2008 and was carried out as a key unannounced inspection. The inspection took place over the hours of 09:30 to 1700. The Registered Providers assisted us during the course of the day and we thank them for their help and co-operation. We observed staff caring for one resident in a sensitive and appropriate manner. The opportunity was taken to tour the premises, look at the records and documents about the care home. The key core standards that include, care planning and health and safety were considered. The registered providers have submitted written information about the services and facilities before the inspection as requested. What the service does well:
The residents are able to choose whether to participate or decline an activity. Service users informed the inspector that they liked the food provided; they liked having meals out and a take away meal too. A balanced and varied diet is provided for the Service Users. The residents have a choice of activities such as day centres and work placements, this leaves weekends free for leisure activities. There are a wide variety of leisure activities available including shopping, trips to local public houses, takeaway meals, swimming, trips to the beach, and attendance at the Gateway club once a week. Residents are able to assist in feeding the pigs, ducks, ferrets and geese on site. Holidays have taken place and planned to include visits to Scotland, Blackpool and Dartmouth. Individual residents have also attended art and computer courses. Residents said that they like the lifestyle that is offered and the variety of things to do. New Witheven is in keeping with a family home. However this has been enhanced by the addition of six en-suite rooms which have been added in a New Witheven DS0000009043.V367768.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 purpose built extension.
