Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standard 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. People’s goals and needs had been assessed prior to coming to live at the home. EVIDENCE: Procedures for supporting people considering moving to the home are well established and set out in its admission procedures. Information provided to people enables them to make informed decisions about where they lived. However, during discussion with the manager, in relation to a person most recently admitted, it was evident that the placing authority had failed to provide the home with all the information it needed to assess and plan how it would meet the person’s needs. The home did carry out an assessment of the person’s care needs, however this was not arranged to be held at the person’s previous address. Advice was given to forward a letter to the funding authority on its failure to support the admission of the person to the home. There is a need to ensure procedures enable a decision to be made that people’s assessed needs can be met at the home. Outreach, 162 Bury Old Road DS0000021621.V361164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The manager stated that all admissions are ideally planned and enable the placing authority and the home to complete their own admission documentation. The home had reviewed its Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide in a format appropriate to the abilities of people living there. The manager said the people living in the home were being involved in the development of a pictorial version of the home’s Statement of Purpose. All residents are provided with a statement in relation to the terms and conditions of their placement. Terms and conditions of the placement are provided in the form of a licence agreement, which contains their contract and the home’s complaints procedure.

The level of support needed by people is set out in their plan of support and is developed in a way to reflect their choices and decisions about personal and social care issues. Plans of support incorporate assessments of any identified risks and how people are to be supported where an assessed risk has been identified. Outreach, 162 Bury Old Road DS0000021621.V361164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The home ensures information is transferred between staff through use of a communication book and diaries.

During discussions with people they spoke about the many positive experiences they had whilst living there and the confidence they gained from being proactively involved in all aspects of daily life, the “good social life” they lead and support in maintaining contact with friends and family. Each person’s plan of support is reviewed on a monthly basis to monitor the effectiveness of the support offered and how it might need changing. This is carried out in consultation with the person to ensure they are involved in the process. Records maintained by staff were detailed and informative. A daily record of how a person is supported is maintained for each person. At present, all daily records and notes for individuals are held in one ring binder. The manager was advised to transfer individual records to named service users’ own files to ensure confidentiality and data protection procedures are adhered to.

Meal arrangements ensure people are provided with a range of choices and a record is maintained of meals served. People continue to be involved in the planning, purchasing and preparation of meals. The food stores were sufficiently varied to provide a choice of meals. This also included a take-out meal each week.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. People receive the support they need on personal and health care needs. Medication administration procedures protected people. EVIDENCE: The level of support people required is determined in their care plan and through constant consultation with people themselves. Staff demonstrated they were aware of the level of support people needed. The records maintained by staff set out how each person had been supported on a daily basis and what activities they had been involved in. People wishing to remain in the house can do so and will pursue their own interests. One person resides in a self-contained flat and retains responsibility for all aspects of daily living, including their own shopping and preparation of meals. This enables the person to retain greater responsibility and degree of independence. Outreach, 162 Bury Old Road DS0000021621.V361164.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Records are also maintained in relation to health care issues and records are maintained when people attend for appointments. People access health services independently or with support where requested. People can visit health professionals in private and if a person required support when on a visit, this would be offered. The medication administration system was assessed and found that agreed procedures were in place to support people with their medication. People attend the office individually to receive their medication and records are signed once administered. The records were found to be on order, however, some of the Medication Administration Records were found to have some gaps or the appropriate code had not been used to indicate what happened at that time. This should be monitored to ensure signatures and codes were being used at all times. Hand written entries on MAR sheets required that they be signed by the person completing the records and countersigned by another member of staff. Records relating to ‘as and when required’ medication were also well documented and signed for and the appropriate code used when not required. The manager said all staff responsible for administering medication had received training. Procedures were in place to record medication returned to the pharmacist. Medication was signed in and the quantity received was indicated on the medication administration record.

There are seven people residing at the home and each person has a day assigned to them in the week to carry out their laundry arrangements. This ensures people are provided with a personal laundry service. Most people were out at the time a tour of the building was undertaken; as a result, only one bedroom was seen. The room was well maintained. The layout and decorating reflected the wishes of the person residing in the room. The person confirmed they had a key to their own room and to the front door of the house. The grounds to the rear, although small, are secure and enable people to access for barbeques and to dry their clothing. A small parking area is also located beyond the garden area for up to three to four cars. Parking to the front of the house is restricted as it is a bus priority route.

Staff are supported through programmes of ongoing development and supervision. This was evident for staff recently starting employment, as they were rostered to work alongside staff to support their induction. The files for staff were examined at the organisation’s head office. The files evidenced that required recruitment and reference checks were being conducted on all staff before they started work. Personnel staff in the office check all information relating to new applicants, request references, CRB checks and, once received, the information is also checked by the home’s manager. Staff are provided with a planned period of induction, which is monitored and overseen by the registered manager.
