The quality rating for this service is 2 star. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) inspects homes at a frequency determined by how the home has been risk assessed. The inspection process has now become a cycle of activity rather than a series of one-off events. Information is gathered from a variety of sources, one being a site visit. More information about the inspection process can be found on our website www.csci.org.uk One inspector who was at the home from 11:30am to 2:30pm on 28 January 2009 carried out this visit. One day’s notice of the visit was given to make sure the providers and people who live at the home were in. The purpose of the inspection was to make sure the home was operating and being managed for the benefit and well being of the people living there. And also to monitor progress on the requirements and recommendations made at the last inspection. Before the inspection evidence about the home was reviewed. This included looking at any reported incidents, accidents and complaints. This information was used to plan the visit. An AQAA (Annual Quality Assurance Assessment) was completed by the provider before the visit to provide additional information. Survey forms were sent out to people living at the home and health care professionals. Five of these have been returned and this information has also been used in the preparation of this report. During the visit a number of documents and records were looked at and some areas of the home used by the people living there were visited. Some time was spent with the people who live at the home, talking to them and interacting with them. Time was also spent talking to the providers. Feedback at the end of the visit was given to the providers. What the service does well: There is a homely and friendly atmosphere to the home. People said they were happy living there. One person said, “I like it here” another nodded, smiled and gave a thumbs up sign when asked if they liked living at the home.

We found them to be person centred and individual to each person. They gave clear guidance on people’s needs. The providers are familiar with what was written in peoples care plans and could talk confidently about the support they give. They had very good knowledge of peoples individual support needs and could describe peoples routines well. Care plans are reviewed and evaluated regularly to make sure they are still relevant for people. This makes sure they are still meeting peoples needs properly.

Food choices are made on a daily basis. The main meal is eaten in the evening, where the people who live at the home and the provider sit down together as a ‘family’ group. We observed people having their lunchtime meal. The food looked appetising and plentiful. Snacks and drinks are available whenever people want them and they can help themselves.

It is clear and is in line with the local authority multi agency policy for the protection of vulnerable adults. The providers are aware of their responsibilities to report any allegations or suspicions of abuse to the local authority. However, the providers have not attended any safeguarding adults training for some time and would benefit from updating their skills and knowledge. There have been no complaints received or any safeguarding adult referrals since our last inspection of the home.

Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32,34,35 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff are trained, skilled and in sufficient numbers to support people who use the service. EVIDENCE: In the AQAA, the provider said, ‘Both myself and Mrs Taylor (Sandra) have completed NVQ level 4, We are available both day and night to provide Care and support when needed. Both Sandra and myself have managed Yearsley Villa since 1998 and have been involved in running a “small” care home for over twenty years.’ No other staff are employed at the home. However, the providers said that should they want to take a break they have family members, who know the needs of the people who live at the home, who can step in to provide support. The providers said these people have an NVQ (National Vocational Yearsley Villa Residential Home DS0000015836.V373841.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Qualification) and have a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check from their current employers.

The providers have kept their skills up to date by undertaking training such as the NVQ level 4 in care management.

One of the providers has also obtained the registered managers award. These qualifications mean the providers are suitably qualified to run and manage the home.

Records we looked at showed that regular health and safety checks are carried out. For example, fire alarm checks. There is a procedure for the reporting of accidents and incidents.
