What the care home does well Syrian House presents as a very warm, caring and friendly care home and residents appeared relaxed and comfortable with the staff. It was evident through interviews, general observations and discussions that staff had a good knowledge of the residents` individual care needs and the level of support required. During our visit staff were observed spending a great deal of time with residents, either on an individual basis or within a group. Care was seen to be given in a discrete, sensitive manner and staff were patient and gentle in their approach. Feedback from residents was very good; comments regarding the service included:"Staff are excellent" and "The care is really good". Prior to admission the manager assesses residents` health and social needs. Information collected is then used to form the basis for the plan of care. Assessment documentation seen had been completed to a very good standard and included key areas regarding the residents` health and general well being. Lots of different types of activities were arranged, both in the home and out in the community. The physical accommodation is of a good standard, with appropriate aids and adaptations available for the residents. The home has an experienced and enthusiastic team of staff who work well together and enjoy taking part in training and development sessions. The staff are motivated and keen to ensure that residents receive high standards of care. The manager was experienced and ran the home well. She made sure she checked out staff before they started working at the home and gave them training and support to make sure they did the job to the best of their ability. The manager communicates a clear sense of direction, is able to evidence a sound understanding and application of `good practice`, particularly in relation to continuous improvement, staff training, resident satisfaction and quality assurance. What has improved since the last inspection? There were no requirements made at the last inspection but the manager and staff have paid particular attention to improving the decoration, furnishings and improvements to the personal living accommodation for the people who live in the home. The staff development programme introduced by the manager has been greeted with enthusiasm by the staff and will further help to increase the knowledge and skills of the home`s workers. What the care home could do better: The manager should continue to implement the planned maintenance and decoration programme to ensure all areas of the home are upgraded.

peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: The last key Inspection was undertaken on the 20th June 2007. In July 2008 we undertook an Annual Service Review. This is a report that we write for good or excellent services that have not had a key inspection in the last year. It does not routinely include a visit to the service. The review is an analysis of all the information that we have gathered about the service since the last main inspection. We (the Care Quality Commission) underertook a key inspection, which included an unannounced visit to the home. The staff at the home did not know the visit was going to take place. The manager was asked to fill in a questionnaire, called an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA), telling us what they thought they did well, what they need to do better and what they have improved upon. Where appropriate, these comments have been included in the report. Comment cards were received from four staff who work at Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years)
Page 6 of 28 the home. We spent four and a half hours at the home over one day.During this time, we looked at care and medicine records to ensure that health and care needs were met and also studied how information was given to people before they decided to move into the home. A tour of the building was undertaken and time was spent looking at records regarding safety in the home. We also examined files that contained information about how the staff were recruited for their jobs, as well as records about staff training. We spent time speaking to five residents, as well as speaking to four staff, the manager and the Deputy managerr. We have have received one complaint about the service since our last Inspection. This was about the heating in the home. The owner was asked to look into this problem and following the installation of a new boiler the problem was resolved.

These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. 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. Detailed assessments are undertaken before people come into to the home and sufficient information is provided so they can feel confident that their needs can be met. Evidence: Feedback from our discussion with residents indicated that the majority felt they had been given sufficient information about the home prior to moving in, including an opportunity to look round the home before making the decision. Comments received included:Its brilliant here very good place to be When I first came here I fell in love with it In the completed Annual Quality Assurance Assessment the manager told us; each service user is provided with a statement of purpose and a service user guide, visits to the home were organised and transport provided if required, overnight stays were encouraged. Admissions are planned and range from short visits to trial placement depending on the needs and wishes of the person. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 28 Evidence: Each service user is issued with a contract, which covers the homes values, key principles and expectations of the service user including care and support. Two residents said it was helpful to meet someone from the home before they moved in. Before any resident was admitted to the home an assessment of their needs was undertaken, by a senior member of the staff from the home and from the professional, i.e. care manager, requesting their admission. Three assessments we examined supported this. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 28 Individual needs and choices
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s needs and goals are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. 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. This is because the manager and staff offer them opportunities to participate in the day to day running of the home and enable them to influence key decisions. People are confident that the home handles information about them appropriately. This is because the home has clear policies and procedures that staff follow. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this 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 living at the home are provided with information and support to enable them to make decisions and choices about their lives. Evidence: The care plans are extremely informative to enable staff to identify with residents specific care needs, together with their preferences, likes and dislikes. All health, social and emotional care needs are identified and individual care plans are prepared for each of the identified need. The care plans are signed by the resident to confirm agreement with them. Residents spoken to on the day of the inspection confirmed that they had discussed the care plans with the manager or key worker and were able to identify their own preferences in relation to meals, times of going to bed and getting up and how the individual likes things done. Risk assessments are undertaken on all residents in relation to daily living and
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 28 Evidence: appropriate measures are put in place to reduce or remove any potential risk. These are recorded in the care files and the agreement of the resident is obtained. All care plans and risk assessments are reviewed on a regular basis, or as changes in care needs are identified, and these are updated as appropriate. Staff actively promote the residents right of access to the health and remedial services that they need, both within the home and in the community. Regular appointments are seen as important and there are systems in place to make sure appointments are not missed. Records show that the home arranges for health professionals to visit l residents in the home and provides facilities to carry out private interviews and reviews. Records held in the home provide evidence of the input by other healthcare professionals and advice is sought from the Consultant psychiatrist Community Psychiatric as well as the district nursing service and GP. Residents have choice over their personal care and are encouraged to be independent as possible. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 28 Lifestyle
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They can take part in activities that are appropriate to their age and culture and are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives and the home supports them to have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. People are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. Their dignity and rights are respected in their daily life. People have healthy, well-presented meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. People have opportunities to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. This is because the staff support their personal development. People choose and participate in suitable leisure activities. 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. Residents are able to enjoy a full and stimulating lifestyle with a variety of opportunities to choose from. Evidence: The home has sought the views of residents and considered their varied interests and abilities when planning the routines of daily living and arranging activities. Routines are very flexible and residents can make choices in major areas of their life. The routines, activities and plans are resident focussed, regularly reviewed and can be quickly changed to meet individual residents needs. The range of leisure activities available in the home was varied, reflecting the diversity of residents and their social, intellectual and physical capacities. There is no dedicated activity co-ordinator, but all of the staff combine their efforts to organise events and activities within the home, as well as trips out to various places of interest.
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 28 Evidence: Each resident has their own activities and interest assessment completed and their interests are recorded and a programme agreed to reflect their personal preferences. Links with the community were good and the home valued the role which relatives and friends continued to play in the lives of residents. Residents benefited from being able to exercise choice and control over their lives. The manager and staff are aware of promoting equality and diversity and this is reflected by residents having a lifestyle and interests that are individual to them. Some residents choose to take part in-group activities, such as going for bar meals, walks, going to church, or choose to go on holiday with other residents within the home. Staff spend time with individuals helping them to make these choices, and to have goals and aspirations for future personal development. Overall, residents considered they were encouraged to do what they could for themselves and make appropriate choices through the day. Information about advocacy services was available at the home. Residents we spoke to said they enjoyed the food, that they receive enough to eat and drink. We observed staff being attentive during the lunchtime period, asking if people had finished their meal before they removed their plate, asking if they wished for some more and offering a choice of starter, main meal and dessert. The dining tables were set appropriately - table clothes, cutlery, serviettes and jugs of water. Staff were observed assisting the residents during mealtimes in a discreet way but ensuring each person was able to enjoy food of their choice. Staff carried out their care and support duties in a way that enables residents to maintain choice and control over their daily lives wherever possible. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 28 Personal and healthcare support
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents are supported by staff and relevant health care professionals to ensure that their emotional, physical and personal care needs are met. Staff ensure that care is person led, personal support is flexible, consistent, and is able to meet the changing needs of the residents. Staff respect peoples preferences and have expert knowledge about individual personal needs when providing support. Evidence: Individual care plans are in place for each resident. The plan sets out how the current and anticipated needs are to be met. We looked at three care plans in detail. All care plans and risk assessments are reviewed on a regular basis, or as changes in care needs are identified, and these are updated as appropriate. Staff actively promote the residents right of access to the health and remedial services that they need, both within the home and in the community. Regular appointments are seen as important and there are systems in place to make sure appointments are not missed. Records show that the home arranges for health professionals to visit residents in the home and provides facilities to carry out interviews. Records held in the home provide evidence of the input by other healthcare professionals and advice is sought from the Community Mental Health Team as necessary.
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 28 Evidence: The manager was able to describe how residents and their relatives are involved in the drawing up of the care plan and understood the meaning of a care plan to describe the assessed needs of a resident and how the needs were to be met. The care plan would also include any changes in the residents condition. Signatures in the care plans, indicating that the individual agreed with the plan and any alterations made to it after consultation with the individual, confirmed this involvement. The care plan is generated from the single care management assessment and the assessment provided by the home. Any potential restrictions on choice, freedom, services or facilities that become part of the residents daily life, had been discussed and agreed with the resident during assessment and recorded in the care plan. Two residents spoken with confirmed that they had been given all the information about how the home is run before coming in the place. One resident said he had come on a trial basis and decided to stay. The home has a robust medications policy and inspection of the medications records provide evidence that the staff follow the procedure. All records relating to medications were found to be well maintained and up to date. The medications room and medicine cupboards were seen to be clean and organised. Appropriate arrangements are in place for the disposal of unwanted medications through the supplying pharmacy. At the time of our visit no individual resident was managing their own medication.

These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. 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. Residents were confident that complaints would be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Appropriate systems were in place to protect residents from abuse. Evidence: A clear, detailed formal complaints procedure is displayed in the reception area of home and provided to each resident, supporting the homes open culture, where residents were encouraged to express their views informally and in the regular residents meetings. Residents felt staff listened to them and they knew who to talk to if they were unhappy or had any concerns. A resident stated It would be hard to complain about anything here - the place is so good. The Commission of Social Care Inspection has received one complaint about the home since the last inspection. The contents were referred back to the home and was satisfactorily dealt with by them. Abuse awareness training was provided to all new starters, with annual updates. Staff understood the importance of listening to residents concerns and how to respond to any issues that were raised.
