The quality rating for this service is two stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This unannounced visit to the home was undertaken as a part of the inspection process for the year 2008/2009. In writing the report, consideration has also been given to information received throughout the year such as comments from people who use the service, reports of incidents and complaints. The registered manager and service manager facilitated this inspection. They are all thanked for their time and all of those who provided feedback for their support in the inspection process. A tour of the building was also carried out. All registered adult services are now required to fill in an annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA).It is a self-assessment that the provider (owner) must complete every year. The completed assessment is used to show how well the service is delivering good outcomes for the people using it. Some information from this AQAA is included in the report. What the service does well: The home understands the importance of enabling younger adults to achieve their goals, follow their interests and be integrated into community life and leisure activities in a way that is directed by the person using the service. Residents were observed to be treated with respect by staff and to have their privacy and dignity respected. Residents are actively encouraged to keep in contact with family and friends living in the community. Visitors are welcome at any time and facilities are available for them. The home has a medication policy which is accessible to staff, medication records are generally up to date for each resident and medicines received, administered and disposed of are recorded. The home has a settled staff group and has the numbers and skill mix of staff sufficient to meet residents’ needs. The ethos of the home is that it welcomes complaints and suggestions about the service, uses these positively and learns from them. St Matthews Avenue, 1 DS0000013389.V372589.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: It was previously required that for the benefit of people who use the service hot water temperatures must be maintained at around 43°C and action taken if there is a variation is recorded. This remains a concern as from records being kept by the home it was identified that the hot water temperatures were either too hot or too cold at times. On the day of the inspection there was no hot water in the home. This was discussed at length with the service manager and registered manager and we were given assurance that they would look into the situation. The plumber visited the home that afternoon and the immersion heater was switched on so that residents could have hot water. Following our visit we wrote to the service manager to raise our concern as this was an ongoing issue. We will continue to monitor the situation and any further failure might lead to enforcement action being taken against the provider.
