What the care home does well The home provides a supportive atmosphere that meets the needs of people who use the service. They said they feel safe, well supported, make their own decisions and are more than satisfied with the care received and way it is delivered. There is an assessment procedure that works well. The care plans were up to date focused on the individual and enabled them to lead the life they want. Activities are chosen by people who use the service and suit them and they have a say in how the service is run. What has improved since the last inspection? The care plan system has been streamlined and is now more focused on the individual and encourages them to become more involved in their care planning. What the care home could do better: The physical environment needs to be improved with some areas redecorated, new kitchen equipment and cupboards provided, carpets replaced and equipment repairs carried out. This will ensure that the residents live in a comfortable environment CARE HOME ADULTS 18-65 Saltram Crescent, 91 & 99 91 & 99 Saltram Crescent London W9 3JS Lead Inspector Wynne Price-Rees Unannounced Inspection 26th September & 2 October 2008 10:00 nd Saltram Crescent, 91 & 99 DS0000010872.V367943.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 1 The Commission for Social Care Inspection aims to: • • • • Put the people who use social care first Improve services and stamp out bad practice Be an expert voice on social care Practise what we preach in our own organisation Reader Information Document Purpose Author Audience Further copies from Copyright Inspection Report CSCI General Public 0870 240 7535 (telephone order line) This report is copyright Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) and may only be used in its entirety.

The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. The inspection was unannounced and took seven hours to complete over two days. During the course of the inspection we spoke with people who use the service to get their views of the service they receive. We also spoke with staff, care practices were observed and policies and procedures checked. The Care Manager was not present during the inspection as she was on leave. We inspected all key standards and the information seen was triangulated with that gathered since the previous key inspection including Regulation 37 notifications forwarded. Regulation 37 notifications inform us of any accidents or incidents that affect people who use the service. This was compared with AQAA information returned by the home before the inspection. An AQAA is an annual quality assurance self-assessment carried out by the home. The files of three people who use the service were case tracked. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The care plan system has been streamlined and is now more focused on the individual and encourages them to become more involved in their care planning.
