What the care home does well People are fully involved in planning their care and the support that they may need. The information is recorded in a care plan so that staff have details of the care required and are able to support people in the way they prefer. People are supported to go out when they want to and do the things they enjoy doing. People are helped to keep in touch with their family and friends. This helps them to keep relationships which are important to them. People are supported to make decisions and choices. This means people have control over their lives. The staff have training so they know how to look after people and to keep them safe. People told us that they are very happy living at The Newlands, the staff are friendly and helpful, the food is good and they can go out when they wish to. What has improved since the last inspection? The manager wrote to us before we went to the home and told us all the things which have happened to keep on making things better for the people who live at the home. What the care home could do better: It is considered that the service is currently performing well and setting its own objectives for continual improvement - no requirements and recommendations have been made as a result of this unannounced inspection.

peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: The last key inspection for this service was completed 25th September 2007, with an annual service review 22nd September 2008. The home did not know that we would be visiting on this occasion to conduct a full inspection of the service. A look around the home took place, which included a number of bedrooms as well as communal areas. The care documents of three of the people using the service were viewed including care plans, daily records and risk assessments. Other documents seen included medication records, service records, some policies and procedures and staffing records. Discussions were held with people living and working at the home. Some people were unable to fully comment about their experience of life at the home. Observations were made of how they spent the day and of the interactions offered by staff in an attempt to obtain an overview of how they may be feeling. Prior to this inspection an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) document was Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years)
Page 6 of 27 posted to the home for completion. The AQAA is a self-assessment and a dataset that is filled in once a year by all providers. It informs us about how providers are meeting outcomes for people using their service and is an opportunity for providers to share with us areas that they believe they are doing well. It is a legal requirement that the AQAA is completed and returned to the commission within a given timescale. The registered manager completed this document and returned it to us. Comments from the AQAA are included within this inspection report. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 7 of 27 What the care home does well: What has improved since the last inspection?

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. People who use this service can be confident that the care home can support their very individual needs. Evidence: The AQAA tells us that - All Service Users are provided with a Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide and can be in written format, Widget, large print, in brail, or provided on tape. We saw that the copy of the Statement of purpose had been reviewed in May 2009, it contained information telling people who the service is for and how the service works. We were also provided with a copy of the leaflet informing on the financial matters for people needing support for residential care. The leaflet stated that fees for the service range from £326:00 - £401:00 per week. The statement of purpose contains clear details of the planned admission processes. The manager explained how information is collected and that the staff have full details of the care and support needs of the person. This then ensures that when a person
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 27 Evidence: decides to live in the home they can be assured that their very individual care needs will be fully met. The manager told us that there have been no new admissions for the past six years. People told us that they were very happy with the service that they were receiving and felt to be very much at home. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 27 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 good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who use this service can be assured that they will be fully involved in making choices and decisions about their lives. Evidence: The AQAA informs us that - Each service user has a comprehensive 24hr service user person centered plan, which is agreed with the individual at their six monthly person centered plan meeting. Within the plan the service user has agreed services and facilities that are provided by the home, and how these services will meet the current changing needs. The person centered plan covers all aspects of personal and social support and health care needs. We looked at the care plans of two people living at the home in depth with another plan looked at briefly, this confirmed the information recorded in the AQAA. We saw that the plans were very individual with copious risk assessments, support plans and monitoring documents. All plans are reviewed at regular intervals with either the persons, their relatives or advocates involvement.
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 27 Evidence: We saw that the plans were based on the care needs and preferences of the individual. For example one person experiences periods of distress and anxiety that is uncomfortable for themselves and possibly for other people. The plan recorded the possible triggers that may cause the distress and the actions that staff could take to support this person through these periods. Staff explained the distraction techniques they use when helping and supporting them. Another plan detailed the support needed with effectively communicating with a person, it included symbols to support the text and details of non-verbal cues for assisting with this. We observed people at the home interacting very well with each other, both verbally and non-verbally. Staff explained the many ways that they are able to communicate with people. Each person has a twenty four hour support plan that details the way that people like and prefer to spend their day. This ensures that staff have the full details of peoples preferences and are able to provide the care and support in the way that they prefer. Through out the time we were at the home we observed people being offered choices to make decisions of how they wish to spend the day. Some people deciding to go out shopping, spending time watching television or attending to their household chores. We saw risk assessments informing staff how to support people to take responsible risks whilst ensuring that they could be as independent and as safe as possible. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 27 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. People using the service can be assured that they will have the opportunity to be involved in daytime activities of their own choice and according to their individual interests and capability. Evidence: The AQAA informs us that - Day service activities are provided dependant on the individual needs, likes and dislikes. Service users have their own interests and beliefs, four attend the conservative club, five attend the over 50s pensioners club, and people enjoy the theatre, bowling and going to the pictures. Most people living at the home attend the local day services at regular times during the week. One person stated that they were looking forward to going back after the summer break, and went on to say how much they enjoy going. The home is situated close to the town centre and as such is very convenient for people to use and access
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 27 Evidence: the local community and amenities. People told us that they enjoy going shopping and visiting the local pubs and restaurants. Staff support people who wish to go to church each week, one person stating how much they enjoy meeting with their friends at the church each week and having the opportunity for regular worship. The main front door is kept locked for security reasons; staff answer the door and allow entry. Some people have a key to their bedroom and are able to lock their door when they go out. We saw staff knocking on bedroom doors before entering and people were asked their permission before we went to look around the building. People living semi independently in the flat are supported and encouraged to attend to the domestic and household chores. People told us that they like being in the flat and able to do things for themselves. The AQAA informs us that- Three service users who live in the flat have their own food provision budget and shop weekly for their own choice of food, cook and clean with minimal support. The meals for the other people are prepared by staff and served in each of the dining areas within the lounges. People told us that they enjoyed the food provided. Staff told us that they prepare a choice of meals which includes hot and cold food. We saw that there was a good variety of food available for the midday meal and people were offered a choice of sauces and gravies for the different meals available. We saw one member of staff asking a person if they could join them for lunch, they appeared to be enjoying each others company and the quality time they spent together. One person has recently had an assessment by the speech and language therapist for difficulties with swallowing. We saw that this was fully documented in the care plan and we observed staff carrying out the instructions in a discreet but supportive way. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 27 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 good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People using this service can be confident that they will receive the support and care in the way they prefer. Evidence: The care plans documents the amount of personal support a person requires and in the way that they prefer. One person requires a very individual approach for personal support and the preparations needed for getting ready for the day. This person becomes very anxious and distressed at certain times and on occasions. Staff described the plan of care for this person and the action they take each day to ensure the well being of this person. This person was unable to communicate verbally but appeared to be well and happy during the day. People are supported with their healthcare needs and accessing the specialist services that are needed from time to time. The manager explained that one person does not like to attend any services and becomes extremely anxious and distressed when they require NHS healthcare facilities. A health care facilitator has recently been appointed to assist people when they need to access healthcare services. The manager explained how with the facilitators input and support, any appointments that are necessary are
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 27 Evidence: well thought out, carefully planned and arranged so making the experience not so distressing for this person. We looked at the storage of the medications and a selection of the Medication Administration Records and found that arrangements are in place for ensuring a safe system is in operation. Some people are able to keep their own medications and have been provided with a lockable drawer for the safekeeping of their medicines. Staff described the action they take to ensure that the person takes the medications correctly. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 27 Concerns, complaints and protection
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. The home has a complaints procedure, which provides people with information so they know how to complain and ensures concerns and complaints are listened to and acted upon. Staff are provided with training to equip them with the skills to safeguard adults from harm. Evidence: Each person using the service is supplied with a complaint and concerns policy in a format most suitable to them. We saw that the document needs updating as it is dated April 2002 and refers to the previous regulatory body. The manager told us that they would ensure that all people receive an updated version of the policy. The AQAA tells us that - There is a suggestion, compliments and grumbles book in place and the Unit Manager reviews this information and acts up on it immediately. The manager told us that two referrals have been made to the safe guarding adults team following some concerns with two people living at the home. The people from different organisations looked into these concerns and found that the home had acted in the best interests of the people and that no further action was needed. We, the commission, have not received any correspondence in relation to complaints or concerns with the service. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 27 Evidence: Some people using the service occasionally experience episodes of unease where they or other people are potentially at risk of harm. Staff explained the specific training they have received to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to deal effectively with these episodes in the least restrictive way. We saw guidelines on peoples care plans which explain how the staff should support people with these needs. Some people using the service need help and support with looking after their finances. Staff explained the procedures in place to make sure that the money is safe and an assessment is completed and agreed with the person. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 27 Environment
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 stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. 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. People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean and pleasant. Evidence: The Newlands is a two storey building situated in a quiet area close to the Cheadle town centre. The home is well maintained, comfortable and homely. The routine maintenance of the building is attended to and there is a twelve month programme for the refurbishment and redecoration. People told us that they are very happy with life at The Newlands and are satisfied with their accommodation. The AQAA identifies some difficulties with the environment - The Newlands building is not suitable for wheelchair access. Although there is a disabled access to the front and back of the building, inside the building the corridors are very narrow and bathrooms and toilets are not wheelchair accessible. Two bedrooms are not suitable as they are too small therefore they are not occupied. The statement of purpose also comments that The home has limited wheelchair access. And the bedrooms are not suitable for a wheelchair. The manager explained the difficulties that some of the people currently using the service are experiencing when using their wheelchair inside the home. They went on to explain that the people
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 27 Evidence: would benefit from living in a more suitable environment, and that work is ongoing to find alternative accommodation. People commented on the difficulties they are currently experiencing and acknowledge that although they have been at the home for a considerable period it is now time to move on. The areas of the home that we looked at were clean and hygienic. The laundry is well equipped with domestic type appliances. Hand wash facilities have been provided in all areas for general hygiene purposes and for the effective control of the spread of infections. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 27 Staffing
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 have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent, qualified staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable. People’s needs are met and they are supported because staff get the right training, supervision and support they need from their managers. People are supported by an effective staff team who understand and do what is expected of them. 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. People using this service can be confident that the staff have the skills and knowledge to meet their needs. Evidence: When we arrived at the home we were greeted by a member of staff and then introduced to other people so that they were aware of who we were and why we were visiting the home. We were unable to communicate with some people who live at the home so we watched the way they interacted with staff and how staff interacted with them. We saw that staff had a good rapport with people and were very skilled at supporting people with various activities in an individual and personal way. Some staff have worked at the home for a number of years which provides stability to the people the service supports. We sampled staff files and found that all checks had been made to ensure that suitable people are employed at the home to work with vulnerable adults. We saw certificates of training in the files, with each staff member having an individual training profile indicating the training completed, and that which is due. Staff told us that in their opinion they thought that the training they received was sufficient for the job they have to do.

People’s opinions are central to how the home develops and reviews their practice, as the home has appropriate ways of making sure they continue to get things right. The environment is safe for people and staff because health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately, with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. They are safeguarded because the home follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and makes sure staff understand the way things should be done. 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. People who use this service can be assured that the home is led and managed well. Evidence: Mrs Tracy Joinson is the registered manager for the service and has been in this position for the past five years. Mrs Joinson demonstrated a good sound knowledge of managing a social care home on a day to day basis and discussed the challenges and dilemmas encountered with providing a quality service. It became very obvious during this inspection that good professional relationships have been developed and maintained between the manager, staff and people using the service. People spoke positively about the style of management and leadership. The AQAA was completed by the manager, returned to us within the timescales and contains some excellent information of how the service is running and what improvements need to be made.
