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 excellent 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 well-developed system of assessing and identifying residents needs which ensures residents safety and assessed needs can be met and that significant time and effort is spent making admission to the home personal and well managed. Evidence: The manager informed us that residents were only admitted in accordance with a pre admission policy and procedure that requires a detailed written assessment of need and risk being carried out by a member of the homes management team in consultation with the prospective resident or their representative. These took into consideration residents care, nutritional and communication needs, wishes, choices, aspirations as well as any present or potential risks present. There have been no admissions since the previous two inspections at which time it was found assessment information was considered to be of an excellent standard. On our two previous visits we found: There was evidence that very careful Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 29 Evidence: consideration has been given to ensure that a move to the home is as smooth as possible, for example, the service users bathing preferences had been identified and before they moved in their en suite bathroom had been modified accordingly. Written documentation and discussion provided evidence that the service has a structured and detailed transition procedure in place to ensure that it can meet the needs of new service users. This includes the drawing up of a contract, the identification of key staff to be involved, the review of assessment information and consideration of time frames, to include time to prepare the environment. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 29 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. There is a clear and consistent care planning system in place, which ensures residents needs are met within a risk management policy that involves residents in decisions that affect them. Evidence: At previous inspections care plans were found to be well written, comprehensive and to provide extensive information on services users. To ensure continued compliance, as part of our inspection plan, we viewed a random sample of three residents care plans chosen at random. All of the detailed care plans which included confirmation that residents or their representative were involved in producing, were based on pre admission assessments to identify what help and support individuals needed and any attendant risks and any other issued that could affect their welfare. Information seen included details about Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 29 Evidence: what is important to the service user, and gave guidance for staff on how to provide effective support. Ways of communicating were described and information about living skills, personal care needs, health and medication was also recorded. All staff spoken with demonstrated that they had a very good knowledge of each persons needs, had a good understanding of the contents of the care plans and risk assessments and were able to explain how the care plan was put into day-to-day practice. Regular reviews of care plans are also undertaken, and records show that family members and relevant professionals are invited to participate in this process. The review focuses on positives in an individuals life and the quality of information gathered ensures that any periods of crisis can be accurately reflected. It also means that strategies to help staff to provide effective support can be put into place. In their responses to our pre inspection survey, health and social care professionals commented Staff seemed concerned for clients and raised these concerns. Really good behaviour management strategies were in place The environment was personal and caring. Residents right, and the opportunity to take risks are seen as fundamental. All of the residents who live in Timaru would have difficulty in understanding the concept of risks, risks management, have very complex needs and are difficult to communicate with making it difficult to establish at times what individuals wishes are. Where restrictions, which are all, recorded in the care plan are in place these are only implemented following a detailed risk assessment a process, which identifies individual risks and how they were to be managed. Records show that any risk that residents are exposed to is documented in considerable detail. Staff have been provided with very clear guidelines to ensure that residents are kept safe, whilst enjoying as good a quality of life as possible. The home takes issues of equality and diversity seriously, in response to our question in the AQAA with regard to these issues the home told us : We do the following to ensure that race, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, age, religion and belief are promoted and incorporated into what we do: Each service user at Timaru has their individual plans, (PCP) respecting their age, gender, religion and beliefs. Through company policies, intensive induction and continued training for all staff, Liaise at Timaru supports individuals from several ethnic backgrounds and of different religions. We also employ staff from a variety of Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 29 Evidence: ethnic backgrounds. We respect individuals religions. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 29 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. The social activities family, contacts and the provision of varied and nutritious meals were well managed and reflected residents interests and choices. Evidence: Any decision taken that affects individuals always seeks to empower them by taking into consideration the individual residents abilities choices, wishes, aspirations and independence. These were reflected in the manner in which the home is run and dayto-day life conducted. This is in line with the staffs perception of themselves as enablers first and carers second. Residents are free to choose what activities they wish to participate in and are compatible to interests listed in person centred plans. Staff told us they help service users to access local facilities and have transport to help them to travel further a field. The home is outward looking and uses community-based Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 29 Evidence: facilities where possible. Community activities currently being undertaken include, drama group, swimming, library, trips to places of interests including visits to their families who are also welcome to visit the home at any time without an appointment. In house activities include, music, television crafts, gardening, massage, and the use of the well-appointed sensory room. Staff were observed to interact well with residents by using appropriate communication methods. When they were providing one to one support staff kept a discreet distance from the resident unless the resident approached them and clearly wished them to be in closer proximity. In this way privacy was respected as much as possible whilst the safety of the resident was maintained. A daily menu based on residents likes and dislikes was available. Staff told us. Staff said that mealtimes are flexible and this was observed to be the case during our visits. We observed residents being offered a choice of drinks and snacks when they wanted them. Picture cards were available in the kitchen to facilitate communication. Staff had a good understanding of the dietary needs and preferences of individual residents who were seen to choose where to eat and whether to eat alone or in the company of others. To ensure a regular supply of fresh vegetables the home has just started a new project involving growing a selection of vegetables in the large garden. This project also provides an additional activity for residents to become involved in. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 29 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. Satisfactory arrangements are in place, ensuring the personal emotional, health care and medication needs of residents are met in private with dignity. Evidence: Personal support needs are detailed as part of the planning process, each service user has a number of staff have who have been identified as having skills and experience to support them with regard to their personal health and personal hygiene needs. All personal care is carried out in private. A health care professional in response to our pre inspection satisfaction survey wrote the attitude to residents privacy and dignity was Excellent. The manager informed us residents us were able to see the doctor of their choice or any other health and social care professional when they needed to. The records viewed indicated that apart from doctors, district nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and the local community learning disability team other specialists would be consulted as required. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 29 Evidence: Records were kept of appointments with GPs, dentist, optician, chiropodist and any other external health and social care professional and included details of any advice and treatment given. All drugs are which securely stored are administered disposed of and recorded in accordance with an in house medication policy and procedure by trained staff. Records of administration and disposal of unwanted drugs and medicines viewed were complete and accurate. Currently no residents are self-medicating, however, following a detailed risk assessment. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 29 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 clear policies and procedures in place which ensures residents are able to complain and are protected from abuse. Evidence: The complaints procedure, which is also included in the service users guide included information on how to contact The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI), was seen, as was the record of complaints. No complaints have been received by CSCI since the last inspection. All members of staff spoken with of stated they felt confident in discussing any concerns, complaints with management either in house or external on behalf of any resident and were confident any issues raised would be dealt with promptly and fairly. The homes adult protection policy is works in tandem with the procedure produced by Hampshire County Council, which is based on National Guidelines and the document No Secrets and is designed to safeguard residents from abuse. Management and staff who were spoken with confirmed they had all received training in recognizing various types of abuse. All were able to demonstrate they knew the procedure to follow should they witness or suspect the abuse of any resident. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 29 Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 29 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. A safe, well maintained, clean and suitably furnished home is provided for residents which meets their needs. Evidence: The home is a large two story modern building, which is situated in a residential area within walking distance of Romsey town centre, close to shops and communal facilities. From the outside there is nothing to distinguish the home from its neighbours, there are no discriminatory signs and nothing to indicate it is a care home. All areas of the home were clean and free from unpleasant odours and obvious hazards. Furniture was comfortable, homely and in a good state of repair in keeping with the decor and met residents individual and collective needs. Whilst the large well kept building meets the minimum standards in our view was in the communal areas were very bare and almost sterile. A view with which the manager agreed. It was felt this problem could be easily be overcome by picture or murals on the wall, this would give a home homely feel to the rooms. The manager gave a verbal undertaking to make changes. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 29 Evidence: When invited to view a residents bedroom we observed that the lock on the door was incorrect and that a resident could not deactivate the lock from the inside, similar locks were seen on three other bedrooms and a lounge. The manager gave a verbal undertaking these locks would be changed. In speaking to the homes administrator by telephone nine days after our visit, we were informed this matter is now in hand. All communal areas were accessible by residents including the well-tended large attractive established and safe garden. Apart from the vegetable project mentioned earlier in this report we were shown plans to developed the garden further by creating a sensory garden for residents equipped with raised flower beds. An infection control policy and procedure was in place as were disposal aprons, gloves, and antiseptic hand soap. And a washing machine fitted with a high temperature and sluice programme. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 29 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. Residents needs are met by sufficient numbers of well trained and supported staff who are recruited and selected using a procedure designed to protect all residents. Evidence: In our view, at the time of the inspection staff numbers and the deployment of staff was sufficient to meet the residents needs. All of the five residents in the home have high care needs. The manager informed us the planned staffing level for the home is six staff at all times at during the day and evening and four waking at night plus telephone back up for emergencies. In addition during the day and evening there would be a specialist support worker (activities coordinator), The Manager (part) an administrator (part), cook (part) and a cleaner (part). A maintenance man is also available from time to time. We were also informed us staffing could be raised should residents needs increased or a particular days programme required additional staff. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 29 Evidence: As part of this inspection, we viewed three staff recruitment and training files selected at random. All files viewed included evidence that staff are employed in accordance with a robust equal opportunities recruitment, and selection procedure, which is designed to protect residents. This involves the completion of an application form, the signing of a rehabilitation of offenders declaration, an interview, and satisfactory Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) disclosure, Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) and reference checks. Following their appointment, records seen confirmed that all staff are subject to an in house induction plus a learning disability qualification (LDQ) training programme that includes first aid, handling medication, food handling, moving and handling, safeguarding and infection control. Following completion of their induction programme All staff are expected to undertake a National Vocational Qualification N .V. Q.) Course. Information provided by the Manager indicated that 17.4 been trained to NVQ level two, 21.7 NVQ level three, 17.4 on a level two course and 4.3 were on a level three course. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 24 of 29 Conduct and management of the home 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 confidence in the care home because it is run and managed appropriately. 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. The management of the home ensures the health, safety and welfare of residents and staff are promoted and the home is run in the best interests of the residents whose views about living in the home are formally sought. Evidence: From the evidence seen we were satisfied that the service is well managed by a Manager who has been in post since the beginning of this year and is currently in the process of completing his NVQ level four qualification. The manager has also applied for registration informed us he was due to be interviewed as part of the registration process shortly. We were also shown evidence to confirm that both an internal and external management team are in place. As part of the homes quality monitoring system, residents and staff are invited to Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 25 of 29 Evidence: participate in satisfaction surveys. The views expressed in the surveys are seen as key in highlighting areas that may require improvement or attention and the future development of this service. We were informed currently the views of residents representatives and visiting health and social care professionals are not sought. Records viewed confirmed a health and safety policy was in place as were records of weekly health and safety checks, the servicing of equipment, staff training in the techniques of moving and handling, first aid, health and safety, the procedures to follow in the event of fire (including evacuation) and accidents. We were informed that the hot water supplies to baths were fitted with thermostatic controls set at 43 degrees centigrade and all hot pipes and radiators were covered to protect residents from burning.
