This unannounced key inspection was undertaken on Thursday 19th April 2006 at 10:30am. This inspection was conducted over the course of a day and covered all of the key standards for younger adults. Prior to the visit, a questionnaire was sent to the manager alongside comment cards for distribution to service users, relatives and visiting professionals. Any replies have helped to form judgements about the service; overall respondents were satisfied with standards of care and considered that needs are being met by the manager and staff team. The visit consisted of discussion with staff and management, observation of the routines within the home, a tour of the premises and examination of some of the required records was also undertaken. There were opportunities to meet and speak with service users. A key theme of the inspection was assessment of how the home meets needs arising from equality and diversity. The inspection officer was Barbara Mulligan. Twenty-five of the National Minimum Standards were assessed during this visit and these have all been fully met. As a result of the inspection the home has received one recommendation. The evidence seen and documentation observed indicates that this service meets the diverse needs [e.g. religious, racial, cultural, disability] of individuals within the limits of its Statement of Purpose. At the end of the inspection, feedback was given to the manager. The inspector would like to thank the deputy manager, the staff team and service users for their cooperation and assistance during this inspection.

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): 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. Potential service users receive a needs assessment undertaken by staff trained to do so, ensuring that the home can meet the care needs requirements of service users. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The last admission to the home was in August 2006. The inspector examined the initial assessment documentation for this individual. This was comprehensive and detailed. The admission tool is fully completed and some areas this covers includes personal details, daily routines and interests, likes and dislikes, personal hygiene needs, special service needs i.e. physiotherapy, occupational therapy. The assessment documentation is signed and dated by the author. The inspector was informed that it is the responsibility of the care and training coordinator or the registered manager for the home. The views of existing service users would be taken into account. DS0000057633.V331569.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9. Quality in this outcome area is good. Care plans have been produced for all service users, but need to be further developed to ensure that all current needs have been identified and documented. Service users are enabled to make decisions and be as independent as possible, providing them with choice and involvement. Service users are being enabled to take responsible risks, ensuring that their independence is promoted. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Five care plans were examined during this inspection, including those most newly admitted to the home. On the whole the care plans contain basic information to guide care staff in meeting the needs of service users. However, there is a lack of detail in the action plan and these would benefit from further from information that sets out in detail the action to be taken by care staff to ensure the assessed needs of service users cab be fully met. For example one entry in a care plan records DS0000057633.V331569.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 under basic care “requires help throughout all these areas”. This is a very vague statement and requires further detail. Another entry records that a service users wears a hearing aid in one ear. However the plan of care does not record which ear the aid worn in and if the individual can put the aid in herself or does she require support to do this. A recommendation has been made to address this. Staff respect service users rights to make decisions and individuals are provided with some assistance and communication support to make decisions about their lives. In discussions held with service users it was confirmed that monthly meetings are held in the home. Those people completing comment cards felt that service users’ needs are being met at the home and that staff enable service users to live the lives they wish to. Risk assessments were observed to be in place and these are signed and dated by the author. Examples of risk assessments seen include accessing the kitchen and using cooking implements, self-harm, falls, using transport and allergies. Missing person procedures were in place in the event of anyone being absent from the home without notice and for staff to refer to, if need be.

Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17. Quality in this outcome area is good. Service users have access to appropriate activities and make use of the local facilities, providing stimulation and variety. Service users are enabled to keep in contact with friends and family, maintaining important social links. The rights of the individual are respected, promoting fulfilment and affording service users respect.

Day services provide opportunities for further education and service users also attend the day care activities on site that is organised by three day-care coordinators.

These show that there is a varied range of day care activities to suit the individuals needs and wishes. Examples seen include college, music therapy, cooking, ladies corner, bowling, reading and craft corner. One relative responding by comment card said “There are a lot of activities provided and a lot of trips organised to places of interest.” There is good use of community resources with adequate staff support to access these resources. Service users are well supported by the home and the organisation in pursuing appropriate activities. Individuals take part in varied leisure activities and use local community facilities regularly. Examples seen include the local leisure centre, cinema, shops, library, health centre and local pubs and restaurants. The inspector was informed that relations with the neighbours were positive and that there had been no problems encountered. Service users have access to transport and use taxis, buses, dial-a-ride and trains and evidence was seen in the care plans and through discussions held with service users. There are two mini buses available on the complex that is the main mode of transport for service users. There are no restrictions about family and friends visiting and this was confirmed during discussions held with service users. Service users are able to receive visitors in the privacy of their own rooms, and are able to choose whom they see and do not see. There are no restrictions on visiting, and this is documented in the Service Users Guide. People completing comment cards confirmed that contact is maintained and that visits and telephone calls are welcomed.

The kitchen was well stocked with food with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables available. Menus were varied and these are chosen by service users with support from care staff, on a weekly basis. One person who completed a comment card felt that the food was “very nice and tasty and there is varied diet”. The inspector had the opportunity to join service users for a lunchtime meal. This was relaxed, unrushed and well organised. All meals seen were attractively presented and alternatives were observed to be provided for two individuals who did not wish for the main meal. Menus are chosen by service users and this is undertaken on a weekly basis. The home offers drinks and snacks throughout the day in accordance with needs of the service users. The nutritional needs of service users are assessed and there is evidence of regular monitoring in all care plans looked at.

The inspector examined medication records and it is pleasing to note there were no omissions observed. Records show all medication received, administered and leaving the home, or disposed of. There are no controlled drugs in use at the time of the visit. If a service user became ill, an assessment would be carried out with the involvement of their family, and the service users wishes regarding terminal care and death would be discussed, and carried out.
