What the care home does well The home has good pre-admission procedures. People`s needs are assessed before they move in and they are given the opportunity to visit the home to see if it is the right place for them. It was clear during the inspection that the staff know and understand the needs of each person and do everything they can to support people`s needs. People`s right to make individual choices is respected and supported. We observed interaction between people who live at the home and the staff, as friendly without being overly friendly. The home keeps us informed of any significant occurrences affecting the health and well-being of the people who live at the sycamores. People`s views are taken into consideration with regards to any decisions that are made. What has improved since the last inspection? Since the last key inspection written records are in place to show that fire safety checks are carried out weekly. This mean that people and staff are safe. The home has improved their recruitment and selection systems with detailed information that is enough to justify how decisions have been reached for the protection of people and in the interests of equal opportunity for prospective employee. There is rolling programme for redecoration and replacement in place for the premises. What the care home could do better: People`s information must be stored properly so that it is only accessible to staff on a need to know basis. Although all staff receive and have the opportunity to receive training in line with the regulations, some consideration should be given to providing nurses employed at the home with training that meets with the requirement of the NMC (Nurses and Midwifery Council). Which mean that they update their nursing knowledge for them to continue to practice and carry out their duties as a nurse. Inspecting for better lives Key inspection report

peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: This was an unannounced visit by one inspector who was at the home from 10:00 am until 5:30 pm. During the inspection all of the key standards were looked at to assess the standard of care that people receive. The inspection process included looking at the information we have received about the home since the last key inspection. The purpose of the key inspection is to make sure the home is operating and being managed for the benefit and well being of the people who live there. During the visit we spoke to people living in the home, staff, management team and any visitors. We looked at the running of the home, care plans, risk assessments, healthcare records, meeting minutes, staff recruitment, training records and the premises were looked at. An annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) was completed by the home and this information was used as part of the inspection. Surveys were sent to people and staff.
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 5 of 27 The current fees for care are between five hundred and twenty seven pounds and eighty five pence to nine hundred and fifty eight pounds and ninety five pence per week. Personal toiletries and clothing, chiropody, hairdressing and transport for social outings are not included in the fees. Feedback of the findings of the inspection was given to the manager and deputy. We have reviewed our practice when making requirements, to improve national consistency. Some requirements from previous inspection reports may have been deleted or carried forward into this report as recommendations but only when it is considered that people who use services are not being put at significant risk of harm. In future, if a requirement is repeated, it is likely that enforcement action will be taken. 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. The home carry out a thorough pre-admission assessment before a placement is offered. There is also an introduction procedure, to make sure the home is able to meet their needs. Evidence: We were told that the referring agency is given a copy of the homes statement of purpose which is then passed on to the person. They then have the opportunity to make a decision if they want to move into the Sycamores. We were told that the information can be made available in other languages. Where possible the home encourages people to visit the home before reaching a decision. We looked at the information received from the referring agency for the last person who moved into the home and found that the home is given up to date and comprehensive information about the person. This means that the home can make a decision about the person moving in. People told us It was a good move because they gave me a choice. We saw information that made us come to the conclusion that the home looks
Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 9 of 27 Evidence: carefully at the health, care and support needs of people, staff training and the needs of the people in the home. The manager said before they invite people to visit, the home is given background information or any previous assessment information from the referring agency. The manager or deputy manager will visit people to carry out an assessment and make sure the home can meet their needs before offering a place. Further assessment is made when people visit the home for a meal or for an over night stay. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 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.

To maintain their autonomy and independence, staff support people to make choices and decisions about all aspects of their daily lives. People are involved in the planning of their care and they get the level of care and support they need in a way they prefer. Evidence: Three individual care and support plans were looked at. They show that people are involved in developing and reviewing their plans. The plans reflect the individuals preferences and needs and clearly show the persons involvement in making all the decisions that affect them. The plans reflect peoples individuality and contain sufficient details to assist staff and help them to understand each person. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 27 Evidence: Everyone is supported and encouraged to make their own choices about how they lead their lives. The care plans reflect this and show that people are supported to achieve their goals. Those who commented confirmed that they get support to live the way they choose and agreed that the service meets their different needs. There is on going review of plans, to make sure they always reflect any changes in their health and support needs. An assessment is made of any activity that is seen to be a potential risk; plans are in place to manage and minimise the risk. This means that people are supported to have their rights, independence and choice. These assessments are reviewed and kept up to date. There is ongoing monthly review of peoples care plan, to make sure that any changes in their care are reflected in their plan. From discussions with people, staff and the evidence seen, it was clear that staff support people to maintain their independence and improve the quality of their lives. During our discussions and observation of staff interaction with people, it appeared that staff know and understand the needs of each person who lives at the Sycamores. We observed that staff do all they can to promote peoples independence and autonomy and everyone is treated as an individual. From conversation with people and information in the surveys it was clear that peoples personal choices are respected and supported. People told us it is good they give you the opportunity to do what you want, the nurses and staff are always good to me. People are supported to meet their individual cultural and spiritual needs. Confidential information about people is only shared with those staff who need to know. We spoke to staff about sharing information, it was quite clear that they understood confidentiality and data protection, and their role in the home. People were confident that their information is handled sensitively. However, peoples information was stored on shelves in the office, it is acknowledged that office has a lockable door and most of the time it is locked. This room is also accessible to people and visitors, which could mean data protection and confidentiality could be breached. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 27 Lifestyle

People also enjoy choosing the meals they would like and everyone makes their own drink. We were told that the home do not carry out nutritional risk assessments for everybody. These are only carried out if there was a concern about the person. However, most people have their weight check monthly. Some consideration should be given to carry out nutritional risk assessment for all people who use the service to make sure that they are not at risk and any risk is identified quickly. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 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.

The home has adult protection policies and procedures with a whistle blowing policy in place which is accessible to staff. The manager had a clear understanding of the procedures and responsibilities for reporting allegations of abuse. Staff were also aware of the procedures, on how to safeguard adults from abuse. The manager has attended protection of vulnerable adults trainer course and most staff have had adult protection training. We saw that, although most staff have access to the organisations policy on violence and aggression and training, it has been some years since they attended the course. All staff are only employed following a satisfactory Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) first check. Staff have access to the organisations procedure on handling peoples money. A record is kept of all transaction of peoples money carried out by staff.

Evidence: We found that the home was clean to a reasonable standard and free from any unpleasant odours. We were told that there is an ongoing programme of refurbishment of the premises. Bedrooms had been personalized by the occupant and reflected the persons interest and taste . On the day of the inspection one person had a new bed delivered that was specially made for him. We found that although the large sitting room had been refurbished and had comfortable chairs; this room still lacks a domestic and homely atmosphere. The smoke room gave an institutionalised atmosphere; we saw people sitting in rows on hard chairs in a room which had no atmosphere. The manager said this is to encourage people to have their cigarette and leave the room quickly. Protective gloves and aprons are available for staff to use when necessary as part of the homes infection control measures. There are sufficient, accessible toilets and bathrooms on both floors of the house. One of the toilets on the first floor needed redecorating and the wood panels around the toilet needed replacing.

People are protected by the homes recruitment procedures. Evidence: The home provides care to 18 younger adults with mental health issues, who are mainly independent but still requires care and support from staff. The home currently employ 10 care staff and 5 nurses. Staffing levels at the home appeared to be enough to meet the current group of people living in the home. All staff receive induction training, and other training such as moving and handling, health and safety and adult protection. We were given a copy of the homes training matrix which highlighted other training that is offered at the home, such as mental health and violence and aggression. We saw that some staff have had this training sometime ago. We noted that there was no training given on any of the peoples diagnosis, to make sure staff have the skills and knowledge they require to meet peoples care needs. People are protected by thorough recruitment procedures, which ensure that staff are suitable to work with people who live at the home. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 27 Evidence: There are three staff on duty during the day, two in the afternoon Mondays to Friday, two staff Saturdays and Sundays during the day and two waking night staff. We looked at three staff records, all staff had completed an application form and provide two written references. Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) checks were carried out. We were told that no new staff begin work until a satisfactory result is obtained. This means that applicants are safe to work with vulnerable people. The manager and other nurses employed at the home have ongoing updated training but it was not clear how these nurses keep up with the training requirement of the NMC ( Nurses and Midwifery Council). Some of the staff have achieved an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) level 2 and four have level 3. During discussions with staff they commented that there is on going training, which is discussed at a supervision meeting with their supervisor, and at their annual appraisal. Staff said they had no concerns about their employment at the home. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 27 Conduct and management of the home

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.

The home is well managed in the interest of the people who use the service who are seen as important and are safeguarded.
