What the care home does well The service provides people with good flexible individualised care. People are able to make their own decisions and staff help is available when required. One person said "staff help me to do the things I want to do". Support plans show the care that the person needs and how this is to be given. The plan includes people`s preferences around very important small aspects of their lives, such as their getting up routine. Staff are trained and know their roles and the duties they are to perform. What has improved since the last inspection? Three requirements were set on the last inspection. The first could not be taken any further because planning permission was not granted for the extension. The second and third have been successfully completed. Staff have completed a training course in equality training. Additional fire training has been given and records show that monthly drills are carried out. Seven recommendations were suggested to the home. Some of these have been delayed a year due a local college not being able to provide training. Discussions with a local authority about finance for holidays were resolved but too late for a holiday to take place in 2007. The home plans to arrange a holiday in 2008. What the care home could do better: People would be further empowered by having ownership of their support plan, including risk assessment and show ownership by signing the documents. Support plans are individualised and it is planned to develop person centred planning which will provide an ideal opportunity for people to have their say. CARE HOME ADULTS 18-65

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was unannounced and completed over one day. The site visit lasted five and half hours. Five people, three members of staff, and the manager were spoken with. The view of one care manager was sought. Records relating to support plans, staff recruitment and medication were seen. A tour of the premises was undertaken. Information from the home’s Annual Quality Assurance Assessment has also been included in this report. Five people living in the home, and two staff returned survey forms. One individual said it is “good living here”, another person stated they “feel supported by staff”. All people were happy at Chestnuts no one complained about the care. Assessments and care plans are comprehensive and record good quality information about the support needed by each person and how this should be given. Risk assessments are up to date and protect the person from harm. The care manager reported that the “ manager takes control of what is going on about a person’s care”. The contribution of people to their care plan is difficult to establish. Individuals do not sign any of the documents to show ownership of it, nor do they have an advocate acting on their behalf. Individuals take part in activities and are part of the local community. Families are regular visitors to the home. Some people go out independently, and take responsibility for their own monies. Individuals take on responsibility for their own bedroom, other people Hoover and peel the vegetables, they do not contribute to the cooking. Meals are balanced and varied. The complaint procedure is accessible and has recently been used by one individual. The procedure has been used in a satisfactory manner. Staff receive good training and provide good support to individuals. The manager is competent and ensure people are kept safe. The environment is comfortable and homely ,clean and hygienic. Some areas require attention to ensure a good standard is maintained. The manager reported this is in hand. What the service does well: The service provides people with good flexible individualised care. People are able to make their own decisions and staff help is available when required. One person said “staff help me to do the things I want to do”. Support plans show the care that the person needs and how this is to be given. The plan includes people’s preferences around very important small aspects of their
Chestnuts The DS0000025846.V341945.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 lives, such as their getting up routine. Staff are trained and know their roles and the duties they are to perform. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People’s needs are fully assessed before living at the Chestnuts, and people are confident that needs can be met. EVIDENCE: There have been no recent admissions to the home. People are assessed before coming to live there. One person said “I visited Chestnuts prior to moving”. Three assessments were seen. The assessment format is individualised setting out peoples’ needs and preferences. The home is aiming to develop person centred planning (P.C.P.) for all individuals. One P.C.P. has been developed assessment demonstrated the person’s contribution in their own handwriting. It is advised that as far as possible all assessments are understood and signed by the person to show their ownership of the assessment. Chestnuts The DS0000025846.V341945.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices
The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7,9. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Comprehensive support plans are regularly monitored and reviewed by staff, and good care is delivered. Risk assessments are used to ensure people are safe. The service understands the rights of individuals to take control of their own lives but staff need to be able to understand how to put this into practice. Peoples care needs are identified and appropriate care given. EVIDENCE: Support plans are in place for each person who uses the service. Communication aids, photograps, symbols help peoples understanding of documents. A member of staff reported that “ care reviews are regularly done, and risk assemments updated”. These give information on individual needs, such as communication, personal care and activities. Encouraging choice, and
Chestnuts The DS0000025846.V341945.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 independence. The support plan is focused on the individual’s strengths and makes reference to equality and diversity, looking at matters such as age, race, and gender. When possible staff of the same sex as the person give care. This is always possible for females. As shown by paper work support plans are developed with the person. When two of the people were asked their input to the support plan they both reported that staff do the paperwork. The home has a key worker system and each month the key worker produces a summary of what has happened for the individual. The individual’s input to this system is difficult to see. Support plans are reviewed every six months. This level of information enables staff to meet the individual needs of people. People are encouraged to make decisions for themselves. Some people are independent and make regular use of shops, one person spoke of their “trips to the bank”. Two people decided to go for a walk early evening and staff accompanied them. Evidence of people making their own decisions was seen in practice and written guidance. The people who live there have meetings, which are well recorded. Reflecting the activities people would like to follow and any issues which people are not happy with. This gives people the chance to contribute to the running of the home. As noted on the site visits and in the AQAA, risk assessments are “to promote independence whilst ensuring safety”. A care Manager expressed some concern about the home’s ”failure to develop daily living skills” stating that some people are “over cared for”. During this visit it was noted that the staff were responsible for cooking the meal, other people carried out the preparation. Risk assessments are in regular use. Staff reported how “risk assessments make sure people are safe”. Chestnuts The DS0000025846.V341945.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle

In the afternoon the dining room was used by an individual to write thank you cards for Christmas gifts, two other people helped to take down the Christmas tree, later in the day two people went out
Chestnuts The DS0000025846.V341945.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 for a walk. From talking with people and observing reactions to staff it could be seen that people are aware of the routines of the home and of what was happening that evening. The group was calm and comfortable. People enjoy a range of activities and outings. Including day centres outings to shops and cafes and to social clubs. A happy person returned home from the day centre and announced they had just been “ten pin bowling and got a strike”. One person reported they were waiting for the “good weather to get out in to the garden”, this person grows vegetables and flowers for the house. This individual has a separate shed for their use and has a key to “make sure it is safe”. People’s rights are respected and alongside this are responsibilities, which are part of every day life. Further support in developing people could be through the use of an advocate who could represent their interests. Holidays are planned around what individual people want to do. Some people have recently been to Bognor Regis, and “had a very good time” with staff for the weekend. It is hoped there will be a holiday abroad next. Visitors are encouraged and relationships are maintained with family and friends. One person reported that they often meet with the family and “goes home to stay with mum”. This was supported by the AQAA. People all eat in the dining room but it is not expected that they will all eat together. The preparation of the meal is shared. Some people “ set the table and peel the potatoes”, another person said they “always enjoy helping”. The this was said by people before the meal and was confirmed by activities on the day. The menu reflects people’s preferences and special diets. An individual record is kept for each person, and is available for the dietician when required. The meal served was hot and was enjoyed by all people, with assistance given by staff when require. Chestnuts The DS0000025846.V341945.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support

Family were to accompany the person. A care manager stated their concern that the physical and emotional needs of one person who has complex needs are not always attended to. The home is now working with people about their wishes on what support they would like in the event of a serious illness or death. Paper work confirming this was seen and mentioned in the AQAA. Medication profiles are in place and include a photograph of each person. No gaps were seen on the administration sheets for medication. A record is maintained of any medication leaving the building.
