What the care home does well The staff and management of the home are stable. The same manager is in post as at the last inspection. The manager has several years experience and knows service users and staff well. Each person has a person centred support plan. This means that peoples needs and aspirations for the future are recorded and supported. Risks are assessed and managed so as not to restrict people but enable them. There are opportunities for people to take part in a range of activities including supported employment and life long learning. Hobbies are supported. Bedrooms are all single and very personalised so people can make their room feel like home. The staff work with health professionals to ensure peoples needs are supported. People said staff are there when they need them especially if they need to talk when feeling down or stressed. People have the support they need to keep in touch with family and friends. People have had support to plan and book their holidays individually. What has improved since the last inspection? People are having support to take more control of their medication and health. Each person has a person centred support plan and positive behaviour support plan to ensure people get the support they need and want. Service users, staff and the manager said that the home is calmer and a nicer place to live since some people have moved out. Staff said now there is a cleaner they will have more time to spend with service users. E learning has been introduced for staff as a flexible learning tool that staff can complete at work or at home. What the care home could do better: The manager agreed that communication could be better supported in that people have to ask what is for dinner or who is on duty rather than having a way to find out for themselves. To make it more homely some improvements are needed to the environment. The manager is well aware of this and has plans to improve the home for people.

These reports are available from the Provider or can be accessed on our website. We spoke to service users, staff and the manager, had a look around, made observations and sampled records. We looked at information we have received since the last inspection. This includes notifications from the home about incidents and accidents and what people have told us about the service. We looked at the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment. The manager completes this Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 6 of 29 every year. It has information about service users and staff and tells us how they intend to improve outcomes for the people who use the service. The AQAA is well completed and has detailed information about how they have improved and how they intend to improve further. We sent surveys to staff and service users. We received three surveys back from staff and three from service users. All of the surveys were positive and some comments include, I would like more one to one time. The AQAA shows that the home has addressed this by employing a cleaner. Staff said they can spend more time on a one to one basis with service users rather than cleaning. When I get upset staff give me the support I need. I chose my key worker. Staff said, We benefit from regular supervisions and appraisals Communication at Seaview is very important and valued Extra training is regularly provided which is useful and relevant.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. There is information available about the service. Person centred assessments are carried out and trial stays offered before a person moves in. Evidence: There is some information about the home produced in large text with symbols and pictures. The AQAA says they plan to improve this to make it more meaningful to people. This means that prospective and current service users will have some information to help them decide about moving in. We found that each person has a copy of the service user guide so they have some information about the service provided. We talked to the manager about the assessment process. That is, how assessments are carried out before someone moves in so the home knows it can meet a persons needs. The manager said she meets prospective service users and carries out an assessment with them. Trial stays and visits are offered. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 29 Evidence: We looked at the assessment of the last person to move in. We found that a detailed assessment was carried out with the person. This means that the home has the information they need to decide if they can meet a persons needs. There has been a placement breakdown recently. The manager said this happened even though an assessment was carried out and a trial stay and two trial visits organised. The manager said it has been a difficult time for service users and staff but they have made some changes to ensure that this does not happen again. Three service users sent surveys back to us. All of them said that they had enough information when they moved in and that they were asked if they wanted to move in. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 29 Individual needs and choices These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

People are able to make decisions about their life, including their finances, with support if they need it. This is because the staff promote their rights and choices. People are supported to take risks to enable them to stay independent. This is because the staff have appropriate information on which to base decisions. People are asked about, and are involved in, all aspects of life in the home.

We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People have the support they need to achieve their goals. Risks are supported and managed so that people are not unnecessarily restricted. People have the support they need with communication. Evidence: We found that each person has an individual support plan which is person centred. This means that the person and their friends and family have been involved in developing the plan. Plans show peoples needs and goals for the future so staff know what support people want and need. We looked at three support plans. The plans tell you about the persons background and about the life they have had and about the life they would like to have in the future. The support needed is also recorded so staff know what to do to support peoples needs and goals. We found that support plans are regularly reviewed with service users so staff can Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 29 Evidence: check that people are getting the right support. We found that potential risks are identified and assessed. This is done with the person and usually the manager and the persons key worker.

We heard one person asking who was on duty this week and another person asking about what was for dinner. The manager agreed that there could be a system so service users can find things out for themselves without having to ask staff. This means service users would have more control.
