Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. 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. Systems are in place to assess someone’s needs before they move into the home and to consider the views of the other people who live there. EVIDENCE: Two care files were looked at as part of the site visit both contained detailed assessments. Each file also contained an individual profile, ‘my life so far’, care plan, risk assessment, medical summary, guidance on any medical condition they may have and how to support them, communication profile and goal plan. The care plan contained information in the original assessment. Any restriction on individual freedom and choices were also recorded. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.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. Systems are in place to assess the changing needs and goals of people living in the home. People are supported to make decisions and take risks as part of their everyday life. EVIDENCE: The care plan for one person contained a very specific plan relating to their medical condition. This plan was completed with the learning disability community nurse. The care plans could be developed further to enable greater involvement of individual’s. The manager explained that this is her goal. During the inspection staff came back from a shopping trip with boards and various craft materials to create activity boards for each person, to be put up in their individual rooms and this would display information relating to their care and support and activities they participated in. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 There was evidence that care plans are reviewed, however one person was having some additional treatment from a district nurse. The care plan had not been updated with this information for staff. During the visit staff were observed helping people make choices in their daily lives, such as whether they wanted to watch the television while waiting for transport or whether they wanted to go and get ready to go out. There was information available for people on advocacy services. The communication book details when each person living in the home makes decisions about when they get up and what they do and what they eat. The two files seen both contained risk assessments covering all aspects of each person’s life including areas such as falling during transfer and use of the shower. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,15,16,17 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People are able to live the life they want to, participating in activities, which interest them within the local community. People are supported to maintain contact with family and friends. People living in the home are supported with a healthy diet. More care needs to be taken when recording what people eat to ensure that any concerns are clearly recorded and acted upon. EVIDENCE: All three people who live at The Piers attend day services during the week. During the inspection the activities record showed that people living in the home had done a variety of different activities including visiting Poole quay to see a motorbike rally, shopping at Castlepoint (a local shopping centre), visiting relatives, a trip to Portland Bill and going to Pontin’s on holiday. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The manager explained that a member of staff is going with 1 person to a family event in another part of the country. This event has been identified as a goal and both staff and the manager were able to evidence that they had supported the individual to purchase items for the family event such as, a present and new clothes. It was clear from speaking with the manager that this event was very important to the individual. There was clear recording of individual preferences in each of the two care files seen. People have access to all areas of the home. There is a notice board in the hall, which has pictures of the people who live in the home and the people who work in the home. There is another notice board with pictures of the staff that are on duty and what the evening meal is. One person does not always eat meals and staff record when this happens. There was inconsistency in some of the recording, which made it difficult to know if they had eaten at all on three consecutive evenings. The manager said that if someone does not eat their evening meal or does not want it they are offered something to eat later. However this was not always recorded and on one occasion it looked like one person had not eaten anything from lunchtime until the following morning. Individual preferences with regard to different foods are clearly recorded. The manager said they are planning to take photographs of different meals to have on the board in the hall each day so that people know what they have having to eat. At the time of the inspection there was one person eating breakfast at the dining table and another person who had finished eating and was waiting to be taken to day activities. People are able to eat when they want. The person who was still eating breakfast was observed eating at his or her own pace, with a member of staff asking if they needed any support. A record is kept of each persons weight, however there was a gap of several months for one person with no explanation. Information is also kept of the meals that people eat each day but not record of the actual amount, which is relevant if someone is refusing food or skipping some meals. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18,19,20 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service have their personal care provided in the way they prefer. Their physical and emotional needs are identified and met. Policies, procedures and training are in place to ensure that people receiving medication are protected. Risk assessments and care plans on the delivery of medication need to be more robust to ensure that every consideration has been given to how someone is given medication and that it follows good practice guidance. EVIDENCE: Both files seen contained information on how each person preferred to be supported. There was detailed information in one persons file on how they communicate and how to interpret their expressions and movements. One file remained staff on how to ensure dignity for the individual when assisting them from their bedroom to the shower. Personal profiles set out when people like to get up and how they need to be supported to do this. The manager explained that people living in the home are assisted to choose their own clothes and she said that they had taken one person shopping for a suit for a very special family occasion. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 There are overhead tracking hoists in the home to support people easily around the home. Staff have received the training they need to do this safely. There was evidence in both file that people are supported to attend specialist appointments such as physiotherapy and with specialist consultants. The manager has a small staff team who provide consistency and continuity to the people who live there. Some of the staff have worked with people living in the home before and know them well. In both files there was evidence of people being able to access the healthcare support they need. One person had recently needed to see a healthcare professional and staff had clearly recorded their concerns and an appointment had been made and equipment ordered. Each person has a medication cabinet fixed to a wall in their room. The medication is in a monitored dosage system and there is a policy and procedure in place. All staff have received medication training and weekly audits are completed. A record is kept of all medicines received, administered and leaving the home. There is a protocol in place for people who take medication with them to any day activities. At times people are given medication in food; the manager has taken advice and guidance from both the GP and the pharmacist regarding this. However the care plan must be clearer and the manager needs to have the royal Pharmaceutical Society guidance on covert medication to ensure that best practice is being followed. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22,23 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is a complaints procedure in place. A user-friendly format would give the people living in the home confidence that their views would be listened to and acted upon. Safeguarding adults training for staff ensure that they understand the importance of protecting the people living in the home. EVIDENCE: There is a complaints procedure in place, which uses symbols. As The Piers is a small home further work could be done to ensure that each person living in the home had an individualised copy of the document, which met his or her individual communication needs. The manager said that there had been no complaints made to the home. All staff have received safeguarding adults training and the home has a policy in place. A new member of staff had completed the training in the last 4 weeks. There are body maps in each persons file for completion if any bruising or marks are noticed. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24,30 Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People live in an environment, which is homely and comfortable and meets their individual needs. The home is clean, this shows that care staff take pride in where they work and consider how the people who live there feel. EVIDENCE: The accommodation is on one level. The corridors are wide and the bedrooms are large. There is access to the garden through patio doors in the lounge. At the time of the visit there was a temporary ramp for wheelchair access to the garden. The manager explained that they are waiting for a permanent one to be fitted. The home is light and airy, with natural light. Each person’s bedroom is personalised with their possessions and decorated in their individual style. One person has a large double bed and another person has a high low bed, which gives greater flexibility in supporting someone to get in and out of bed. The home is set back from the busy road and reached by a short driveway. There is The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 easy access to local shops and other amenities and the building is in keeping with others in the street. The home is accessible for people who use a wheelchair. The furnishings and fittings are very modern and of a very good quality. The manager was a little concerned as there are some scuffmarks on the walls from the wheelchairs. She is intending to repaint them herself as in her own words “they are a little scruffy”. The registered provider has a maintenance person who ensures that all work is completed. The home is very clean and there are no odours. There is a washing machine and dryer is a small utility room. All hazardous substances are kept securely locked. The home has an infection control policy and staff have had training. There are hand-washing facilities in the utility room and paper towels.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32,34,35 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff are provided with the training they need to do the job well. Recruitment practice ensures that the people living in the home are supported and protected. Further training will enhance the skills that staff have and enable individual needs to be fully met. EVIDENCE: During the inspection there was limited observation of staff working with individual’s however one member of staff who had not been in post very long was seen with one of the people who live in the home, she was very respectful, clear on how she was supporting them and gave them her full attention. Staff who do not have experience of some of the conditions associated with learning disability are having training and the manager has organised training for the 20/08/08 in understanding autism. The file of a new member of staff was seen this contained 2 written references a Protection Of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) 1st check and a Criminal Records Bureau check both were completed and returned before the person started work. The Piers DS0000070797.V367504.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The files contained proof of identity and a copy of the company’s terms and conditions. They had also been issued with the company’s staff handbook. There was also evidence that they had been issued with the General social Care council code of conduct. New staff received structured induction training, which follows the skills for Care specifications. The manager has assessed the training needs of all the staff and has encouraged them to participate in National Vocational Qualifications. The manager said that she is developing the training for the home around the needs of the people living there. All staff have also completed training in understanding epilepsy.
