April 2009 and lasted for approximately five hours. The purpose of the inspection was to ensure that service users needs are properly met, in accordance with good care practices and the laws regulating care homes. The focus is on ensuring that service users placements in the home result in good outcomes for them. Information received from and about the home since the previous inspection has also been taken into consideration in making judgements about the quality of outcomes for the service users living there. The inspection included observation of the service users. Members of staff were observed providing one to one care and there were opportunities to directly observe aspects of service users daily lives in the home and staff interaction with them.

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 provides prospective service users and their representatives with sufficient information for them to make an informed choice about where they live. The admissions process ensures that the home has adequate information to decide whether or not they can meet an individuals assessed needs. Evidence: The home had a statement of purpose and service user guide, which described the environment and services available. These documents are tailor made to suit the needs of the individual. A range of communication aids including signs, symbols and photographs are used to give any new residents information about the home and the support they could expect to receive. No new service users have been admitted to the home since the last inspection. The comments made at the last inspection therefore still apply. Records were tracked to establish the quality of the homes admission procedure, and the experience of all those involved in the move. Following referral a thorough pre-admission assessment had been completed by the home to confirm whether or not the individuals needs could be met. The service user then visited the Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 28 Evidence: home on several occasions, and a weekend stay was arranged. A review meeting was then held to confirm the placement and to agree a transition plan. The pre-assessment information was used to develop an initial care plan for the home and a written contract was agreed and signed by all parties. Any restrictions imposed on the individual due to specific care needs had been agreed and documented prior to admission. The manager said that any restrictions and guidelines would be reviewed regularly as part of the homes care plan process. A similar process would occur with any new admission. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 28 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 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 clear, consistent care planning process, which provides staff with the information they need to satisfactorily meet service users needs. Staff have a good understanding of how service users communicate and use this knowledge to encourage them to make choices and have control where possible about their care and lifestyle. Evidence: The care plans and records relating to three residents living in the home were looked at during the inspection. The information included good information about each individuals needs. Each area of care was supported by a detailed assessment, behaviour management guidelines, activities plan, risk assessments and information about any involvement from other agencies. The care notes for one service user highlighted the need for consistency and structure Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 28 Evidence: to their daily routine. To support this need detailed records were available for staff describing the support required from when the service user wakes up to when they go to bed. Staff spoken to were familiar with these guidelines and recognised the importance of consistency when providing care to this person. Throughout the inspection staff were observed supporting residents to make choices about their daily routines. Care plans included detailed information about how each resident communicates. A range of communication tools are used dependent on the assessed needs of the individual. Several service users had pictorial timetables in their bedrooms, some of these had been adapted so that they could be used outside the home. Signs, symbols and photographs were available around the home to help service users recognise and understand daily routines, different rooms, and facilities in the house and the different staff members on duty. Risk assessments had been written for all activities inside and outside the home. These were found to be detailed, signed and included a date for review. All records inspected were found to be well maintained, up to date and stored safely. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 28 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. Service users have appropriate individualised activities to ensure a good quality of life while living at the home. The meals in the home are good, offering both choice and variety and catering for special dietary needs. Evidence: The atmosphere in the home was warm and welcoming. The manager and staff were able to talk in detail about the personalities of each resident and the activities that they enjoy. Care planning, and daily activity charts supported this verbal information. All the residents had individualised activities, taking place through support from the home. The service has continuously developed new Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 28 Evidence: activities for each resident to maintain their presence in the community and to give the residents valued activity and good quality of life. In many cases this activity has contributed to the residents improved stability and reduced challenging behaviour. The home had a detailed process of recording and analysing the outcome of activities to ensure that they remain appropriate. Activities external to the house are thoroughly risk assessed and continuously reviewed to ensure that they continue to be safe. Two company vehicles are available to transport service users to and from their activities. There is a large secure garden area with swing seats and a trampoline, which service users can enjoy during the summer months. Also within the garden there are two large activity facilities. One is used for sensory and craft activities and the other for cooking. On the day of the inspection three service users were observed enjoying a session in the sensory room. Discussion with the manager and feedback from family confirmed that every effort is made to support residents to maintain their links with family and friends. Service users may occassionally visit other homes owned by the organisation and access social events and facilities in the local community. Where possible service users are involved in daily routines and domestic activities in the home. The manager said that staff are aware of the importance of these routines and consistency of support. We observed staff interacting with service users on a one to one basis in an appropriate and unobtrusive manner. A written weekly menu was available, which showed that residents are offered a wellbalanced and varied selection of meals. Any special dietary requirements or eating plans were documented with clear guidelines for staff. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 28 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. Personal support in the home is offered in a way that promotes and protects service users privacy, dignity and independence. Service users health care needs are regularly monitored and any changes are addressed with specialist input when necessary. Evidence: Service user records contained detailed information about their personal, emotional and healthcare needs. Information was documented in a way that helped staff understand their daily routines, likes and dislikes, and how they prefer to be supported. Records confirmed that residents are supported to attend regular routine health checks including hearing, sight and dental checks. The home has a consistent staff team who have a good awareness of service users needs. The manager said that this consistency and the homes daily recording procedures ensures that health needs are closely monitored and any concerns are dealt with promptly. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 28 Evidence: Throughout the inspection staff were observed treating service users in a respectful and dignified way.

The home has written procedures for the receipt, storage and administration of medication. There is also a medication profile on each service users care plan. The home uses a monitored dosage system and administration records for this system are well maintained. There is clear information for care staff on the nature of the service users medication and any possible side effects. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 28 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. Systems in the home ensure that all service users are listened to and any concerns or complaints are dealt with promptly and appropriately. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. Evidence: Neither the home nor the Care Quality Commission have received any formal complaints since the last visit. The manager said that due to the complex needs of service users living in the home they might not always express their views and concerns clearly to those providing care. She emphasised that a good understanding of each individuals communication methods and their behaviours and moods is crucial to ensure that any concerns are addressed. Staff were seen to respond promptly and sensitively to behaviours which without support and understanding may have escalated and caused distress. Daily recording, hand-over meetings and charts to record incidents/behaviour are used to monitor the well being of each individual and to ensure that staff are aware of any changes. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 28 Evidence: The home has written adult protection procedures and a copy of the local Alerters guide. Staff spoken to had a good awareness of issues relating to abuse and said they were able to attend in-house and multi-agency Adult Protection training as part of the homes staff training plan. Files contained Behaviour management guidelines and these are regularly monitored and reviewed as part of the care plan process. The manager said that all the service users need support to manage their finances. The reason for this support and how the support is provided is well documented within care files. Service users have their own bank account and a clear, up to date record was available for all in-coming and out-going expenditure. Service users pay an agreed mileage for the use of the homes transport and are sent an invoice on a monthly basis. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 28 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.

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. The standard of the environment within this home is good providing residents with an attractive, homely and safe place to live. Evidence: On the day of the inspection the home was found to be clean and hygienic throughout. The home has been organised so that service users can partake in individualised activities in different parts of the house. There is a large activity facility in the rear garden. This facility has been divided into a quiet sensory area and separate craft/activity room. Staff were in the process of supporting some service users to use this facility as part of their daily activity programme. A further garden room houses cooking equipment. During the inspection service users were relaxing with staff or engaged in activities thus utilising all areas of the home. The majority of bedrooms were seen during the inspection. The decor and fixtures in individuals room varied dependent on individual needs and personal preference. One of the bedrooms seen had minimal furnishings and few personal possessions, another presented as being extremely personalised. The manager explained that bedrooms were to individuals taste and within a behaviour risk management system. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 28 Evidence: Since the last inspection there has been some general redecoration throughout the house including the dining room and some of the bedrooms. It was noted that the tables and chairs in the dining room have been renewed. Several items of specialist equipment had been purchased to meet the assessed needs of service users and to ensure their on-going safety. These included, alarm pads and specialist mattresses for service users who suffer from epilepsy. The reason for this equipment and guidelines for use were documented within service user records. Laundry and kitchen facilities are satisfactory and previous inspections have shown that infection control procedures are in place. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 28 Staffing These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

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 a sufficient number of competent, well-trained and motivated staff. Evidence: Staffing rotas were available, which confirmed that sufficient numbers of staff were available to meet the assessed needs of the service users. Staffing levels are high as most service users have been assessed as requiring 1 to 1 or 2 to 1 to access opportunities inside and outside the home. Throughout the inspection staff were observed responding sensitively and respectfully to service users requests, and were able to use their knowledge of each individual to encourage choice and independence whenever possible. Staff were friendly and goodnatured. They interacted with residents and as well as being courteous and respectful were also humorous and fun, which the residents clearly enjoyed. There is a generally consistent staff team and the manager said that as consistency is very important the home makes every effort to avoid the use of agency staff. The staff spoken to were very clear about their role, and the role of others within the team and the organisation. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 28 Evidence: A thorough training programme is run by the organisation to ensure that residents needs are fully met by skilled staff. Records confirmed that all staff undertake regular health and safety training as well as a range of specialised training courses relevant to service users needs. A sample of staff records were seen and confirmed that the homes recruitment procedure is robust and ensures the protection of residents. Records confirmed that structured, 1 to 1 supervision sessions take place every 6 to 8 weeks. Records indicated that 43 per cent of the support workers have attained an Nvq qualification. This will rise to 66 per cent when those currently undertaking the course achieve completion. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 23 of 28 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.
