What the care home does well The Orchard continues to provide a very supportive family environment for the one person who uses the service, who is considered very much part of the family. During our visit we saw how the person using the service has been supported to write his own care plan, identifying the areas he needs support with and how he would like that support to be given. This promotes the individual`s choice and independence. The plan is reviewed regularly and a report is written about outcomes and developments. The individual was not present at the time of this visit but had told us about his involvement at a previous visit. He was aware that this inspection was taking place and had left us a message saying "I`m doing alright". We saw that risks are recorded and managed positively to support the individual to lead the life he wants. The providers keep a record of all visits to health professionals and advice/action taken to ensure the person`s health related needs are met. Through looking at the care plan and discussion with the providers, it was clear that the person using the service is able to maintain and develop personal, practical and social skills, leisure activities and interests. For example, he enjoys going to a college and a club and currently goes sailing on Fridays each week. At the time of our visit the individual had gone to a drama group he also takes part in. We were told that he had recently been accepted on a scheme that helps people with a disability find jobs and was attending an academy that teaches people food service, kitchen and dining room skills. The individual is able to access the local community independently and has an ongoing personal plan for developing money management skills and using public transport. The person using the service is able to choose his own routines, go to bed when he likes and can help himself to drinks and snacks. We discussed meals with Mrs Bailey and it was evident that the individual has plenty of choice and enjoys a healthy and nutritious diet. He also enjoys meals out with Mr and Mrs Bailey and their friends and family. The home is domestic in nature, very clean and comfortable with a homely atmosphere. There is a very good standard of decoration throughout and the person using the service has access to all parts of the building and the garden to the rear. The person using the service has a bed/sitting room that is decorated and personalised to a high standard andprovides ample space for him and his belongings. The manager is clear about her responsibilities in relation to running a registered home and promoting the interests of the person using the service. The records kept in the home are sufficient to cover the nature of service provided and are stored in a lockable facility. What the care home could do better: No requirements or recommendations were identified as a result of this inspection. The home continues to meet the needs of the person who uses the service and provides very high standards of individualised care and support.
