Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home.

The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3&6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. New residents have a needs assessment undertaken prior to moving into the home this allows both the home and the resident to ensure that the home can meet the resident’s needs. The home does not provide intermediate care. EVIDENCE: No new residents have moved into the home since the last inspection. We were informed by the manager that and initial assessment of any new resident is carried out by someone from the organisation and meetings are held with any potential new resident and also with social services if they are funding the placement. The manager carries out an individual needs assessment prior to service users moving into the home using an assessment form and any new residents are invited to visit the home for a meal followed by a short stay before a decision is made.

The plan gave good information for staff on the care needs of the individual and was person centred and was in pictorial format, which made them clear and easy to follow and gave staff information on how the service user would like their care to be given. All of the care plans at the home will be changed to this format in the next few weeks. Staff spoken with were aware of the residents care needs. Residents spoken with said that their care needs were met by the home and were aware that there was a plan of care in place. The recording of daily notes is carried out by staff at the end of each shift and this was clear and provided information on how the service user had been during the shift.

There is a visiting chiropodist who calls every 6 – 8 weeks and the home is supported by the local learning disability team and other health care professionals are accessed through GP referrals.

The home uses a monitored dose system provided by a local pharmacist and all staff at the home that administer medication have received appropriate training. The home has a clear policy and procedure regarding medication and there is also a clear procedure for administering any “when required” medication. None of the residents currently self medicate.

The home’s medication cabinet was checked and this was suitable for its current purpose and the home does not currently hold any controlled drugs. The law concerning the storage of controlled drugs has recently changed and the home was reminded that should there be a need for any controlled drugs to be held at the home, they must be stored in a proper Controlled Drugs Cupboard. A proper Controlled Drugs cupboard is one, which meets the standard set in the Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody) Regulations 1973.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has a mix of staff that has a range of skills and there are sufficient numbers of staff on duty to meet the needs of residents. The homes recruitment policy and practice supports and protects residents and they benefit from a staff team that has had sufficient training to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: There was a good rapport between residents and staff. The homes staff rota was examined and this showed that the home provides a minimum of 2 members of staff on duty between 0800 – 2000. Between 2000 – 0800 there is one staff member on duty throughout the night. In addition to these staff the manager told us that additional staff are made available to support residents out in the community or to attend appointments. The manager is also available in addition to the care staff rota. From speaking with the residents and staff at the home they told us that they felt that staffing numbers were sufficient to meet residents needs. The home employs a total of 8 full time care staff and all of the staff team hold a minimum of NVQ2, there are 4 staff undertaking NVQ3 and the deputy manager is working to achieve NVQ4. Recruitment records were seen for 2 members of staff and these contained application form, refs x 2, CRB/POVA, Passport, birth certificate, photo and Starboard House DS0000042317.V365581.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 details of qualifications.

Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35 & 38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Management arrangements at the home are satisfactory and residents, relatives and other interested parties are consulted about the running of the home. The financial interests of residents are generally safeguarded, however residents personal allowance should be paid into their bank account on a monthly basis. The health safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. EVIDENCE: The manager of the service has been working at the home for over 3 years, he was originally the deputy manager and was appointed manager in March 2008. He is currently undertaking the registered managers award(RMA) and is waiting for the return of his CRB before submitting his application for registration with the CSCI. Starboard House DS0000042317.V365581.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The home has a quality assurance system in place and the organisation carries out regular regulation 26 visits to the home. Surveys are sent to relatives of residents and there are regular resident meetings, staff meetings and staff supervision and this gives the opportunity to monitor the quality of service provided for residents. 5 of the residents at the home manage their own personal finances and the home keeps money for 3 residents. Benefits are paid directly to the “The Regard Partnership Limited” and the homes manager writes a cheque to individual residents to pay their personal allowance into their own bank accounts. Currently this money is paid to residents at 3 monthly intervals and this means that their residents are being denied the opportunity to earn interest on this money until it is paid into their accounts. This was discussed with the manager at the home and he informed us that in future he would ensure that this money would be paid into resident’s accounts on a monthly basis. Where the home keeps money on behalf of residents, a clear record is kept of all transactions and this provides a clear audit trail. We checked the balance of one resident and this was found to be correct. The fire logbook was inspected and all appropriate testing and checks have been recorded. Appropriate certificates were in date for gas safety, fire alarms systems and equipment, private electrical equipment and fixed wiring. There is an in date fire risk assessment for the building and regular health and safety monitoring takes place.
