This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The overall quality rating for this service is Two Star. This means that people using the service experience good quality outcomes.
This key inspection was the first inspection following the registration of the service in February 2009. The inspection was carried out by one inspector on the 7th July 2009 who used the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Younger Adults, (18-65) and the outcomes for people as a basis for the inspection. On arrival we were asked into the service by a person using the service. One of the providers, the registered care manager and one support staff were at the service when we arrived. Prior to the inspection we had sent to the service the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) this is a self- assessment tool, the completed document had been returned to us within the required time scale. The contents were detailed, comprehensive and provided an excellent overall picture of the service, aims and objectives proposed by the service. The document (AQAA) is a legal requirement and it enables the service to focus on how well outcomes are being met for people who use the service. It also gives us some numerical information about the service and staff. What the service does well:

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 People using the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who wish to move into the service receive all the information that they require and they are fully assessed so that they can be assured the service can meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The next planned admission has been on going since May 2009. Management have met with this person, assessments have included both day and overnight stays. We saw items in this person’s bedroom ready for the ‘moving in’ day. Other professionals had been fully involved with the assessment of this person and a person who uses the service. We saw the assessment for the one person admitted to the service in February 2009. Potential referrals would involve the person, family, professional agencies including the medical profession. Peoples needs would be recognised and their personalities taken into account. The person admitted to the service in February 2009 had a long transitional period of ‘moving in’ including an DS0000073158.V376174.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 overnight stay. The person had the choice of other services as shown by a social worker but chose this present environment. Records seen evidenced that, the staff team undertook regular visits to another facility to get to know the person and their preferred routines. We had access with the person’s agreement to their care plan, it was obvious to us that the person had been fully involved with the plan which had both writing and pictures. The person had signed each section in the plan including the psychological assessment review with the consultant. We observed during the inspection that the person was relaxed and comfortable with the staff and management. The person told us that they. ‘liked living at the service’. These admission processes mean that no person would be admitted to the service without this very in depth pre-assessment ensuring their needs can be met.

EVIDENCE: The services completed AQAA told us that, ‘each person will have a full detailed care plan’ based on consultations with other professionals, and that they will be ‘tailor made’ The plan we saw had been signed by the person. There was evidence of an advocate as an independent person to make sure the persons needs are taken into consideration and met. The plan included likes and dislikes, and
DS0000073158.V376174.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 highlighted personal details such as, the person likes shopping for clothes. The service had an impressive format to enable the person to attend the local dentist. Explanation of what would happen had been given by completing a book format with writing and pictures. Reports told us that this process had reduced the persons anxiety immensely. There was evidence of the person’s social life style, with days out to the Botanical Gardens and Blackpool. Plans have been made to go to Devon later in the year for a week with two of the staff. Risk assessments include absconding, things that may upset the person and how to best assist the person. The initial six week review was pictorial and contained evidence by a signature from the person confirming their attendance. The company has another service and pictures seen evidenced that people from this service had visited this service, The School House. The person had served to these guests’ small cup cakes which they had cooked and decorated with support. The person has chosen not to go again to Ballroom dancing, but likes a disco with friends.

DS0000073158.V376174.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 changed to gardening, a small greenhouse and tomatoes were evidenced in the garden for use. One staff member has been to the local church to find out the times, and if there would be any interests for the person. The person to date has shown no interest in religion but the management will leave this on their plan in case they want to be involved in the future. We saw comments from a persons family ‘The opportunities offered in the last three months have astounded us’, ‘He has relaxed and tried different things’. The family were impressed with the manner in which the person managed a recent family funeral. We saw the work that the staff had talked through what happens at a funeral with the person to that they would know what to expect. We saw that each written section in the plan was supported with pictures. This type of commitment by the staff ensured that the person was comfortable with the experience. People will be encouraged to have a healthy diet, the person had been involved in the menu planning, and this will be extended to involve any other person being admitted to the service. The kitchen was well designed; equipment especially purchased in consideration of people’s safety for example’ the cooker goes cold immediately after use. Menus were based on the person’s choice. The person is encouraged to be part of the catering process, which they enjoy as pictorial evidence showed. Other daily skills would be promoted with the person being supported and encouraged in maintaining bedroom cleanliness.

We spoke to the staff on duty who confirmed the AQAA information, and told us she had completed a distance learning medication training. Other staff had completed a one day course with the pharmacy. The manager told us that it was not possible to get more that one person on the distance learning course at any one time. We did not observe medication administered. We were shown and told by the person using the service that the locked cupboard in their room was for their personal medication. From the discussions with the manager we were satisfied that all the policies and protocols in place including training, storage and handling would protect the person for any medication abuse or error. We saw the medication administration record, which was current and completed with the person. We told the provider that she needs to provide within three months a controlled drugs cupboard and how this should be secured.
