What the care home does well Information given to people who use the service was excellent, it was written in a number of different formats including brail, audio and pictures. People using the service at the time of this inspection said:"We like to come here; we try to book our stays so that we can be there together". "The staff are always kind and they take us out, we enjoyed our trips to Famingoland, it was great fun". "We went to the night club that was great we liked dancing and singing". "We like the food, we try to eat healthy, but sometimes we like to have Chinese takeaway". "If I am worried about something I would talk to Denise". "We have had meeting to talk about the home closing, and we have made a wish list of the things we would like to see when the home reopens. We have been involved in the colour schemes and the types of equipment we may need". Staff had developed good systems to ensure relevant information was shared with families before and following stays at the home. Regular house meeting had taken place to ensure people and their families were consulted about the temporary closure of the home. Advocacy services have been used to facilitate the meetings, which has given people an opportunity to express their concerns about the changes to the provision of the service. What has improved since the last inspection? Person centred plans were being developed to ensure important information is recorded. People said they had been involved in putting together their care plans, which included things they needed some support from staff to complete. Opportunities to join in activities have improved since the last inspection. The manager has used the staffing budget to create a flexible use of staff time. It means that extra staff can be provided for outings. Staff training has improved since the last inspection, to ensure staff has the right skills and competencies to deliver a good service to people. Makaton training (signs used to communicate) has been undertaken by two staff which means they can communicate better with people who use the service.

Wickett Hern Road DS0000032121.V364925.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means that the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This unannounced inspection of this service took place over 5.5 hours starting at 11:00 to 16:30; this included a partial inspection of the home. Three people who use the service, two relatives and six staff were spoken to during the visit; their views are included throughout the report. Occupancy at this respite unit is consistently high throughout the year. Five beds were occupied on the day of this inspection. Three people’s care plans (person centred plans) were looked at. Policies relating to medication, complaints, protection of vulnerable adults and handling of people’s monies were looked at. Three staff recruitment and training records were examined to assess how people were protected. Surveys were not used at this inspection, although they were sent to people in January 2008 when an Annual Service Review was carried out on the service. The outcome of the review confirmed people continued to receive a good level of service. The registered manager Denise Evers has been in post since October 2007 and was successfully registered by CSCI in January 2008. She holds the Registered Managers Award (RMA), and continues to develop her own knowledge and management experience. The AQAA was sent to the home in October 2007, this was returned to us on time which demonstrates responsiveness and cooperation. An annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) is a self-assessment and a dataset that is filled in once a year by all providers whatever their quality rating. It is one of the main ways that we will get information from providers about how they are meeting outcomes for people using their service. The AQAA also provides us with statistical information about the individual service and trends and patterns in social care. The registered providers had informed CSCI that funding has been secured to undertake extensive alterations to the building. The work is due to commence in September 2008 and will involve the home closing temporarily until work is completed. Alternative accommodation has been proposed to enable the service to continue during the closure, families and people who use the service have been consulted to keep them informed about the process. The inspector would like to thank everyone who agreed to being interviewed as part of the inspection process, and the friendliness of staff. Wickett Hern Road DS0000032121.V364925.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Staff recruitment files could be more accessible, to ensure the information is easily retrieved. POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) and CRB checks Wickett Hern Road DS0000032121.V364925.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 (Criminal Records Bureau) were not found on the files examined, although the head office could confirm that the checks had been carried out. Although statutory training had been undertaken since the last inspection, formal fire instruction has not taken place. The lack of training in emergency procedures could pose significant risk to people who use the service. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

EVIDENCE: The home has developed a comprehensive Statement of Purpose and Service User’s Guide, which was very specific to the guest (people) and considers the different styles of accommodation, support, treatment, and specialist services required to meet the needs of people who use the service. The information was in a format suitable for their and their families’ needs, using, for example, appropriate language, pictures or Braille. They had also transferred the information onto an audio tape, with assistance from the local library. This demonstrates a clear commitment to valuing people. There was a comprehensive assessment used to assess the needs of prospective people who spend time at the home.
