17th March 2017 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

This inspection took place on the 17 and 20 March 2017 and was announced. ASLN is registered to provide personal care to adults with learning disabilities living in their own homes or shared accommodation. At the time of the inspection there were 51 people using the service.

At the time of our inspection there was a registered manager in place. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements in the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

People were safeguarded from harm as the provider had systems in place to prevent, recognise and report concerns to the relevant authorities. Staff were confident in recognising and raising concerns if they felt people were at risk.

Staff knew their responsibilities as defined by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA 2005) and had applied that knowledge appropriately. People were supported to make decisions for themselves and their consent was actively sought by staff.

There were sufficient numbers of experienced staff that were supported to carry out their roles to meet the assessed needs of people using the service. Staff received training in areas that enabled them to understand and meet the care needs of each person. Recruitment procedures protected people from receiving unsafe care from care staff unsuited to the role.

People’s care and support needs were regularly monitored and reviewed to ensure that care was provided in the way that met their needs.. People had been involved in planning and reviewing their care when they wanted to and had accessible support plans so that they could direct their care and support.

People were supported to have sufficient amounts to eat and drink to maintain a balanced diet. Staff monitored people’s health and well-being and ensured people had access to healthcare professionals when required.

People’s needs were met in line with their individual care plans and assessed needs. Staff took time to get to know people and ensured that people’s care was tailored to their individual needs. People were actively supported to pursue their interests and to make and maintain relationships.

People were listened to and had their views acted upon. The registered manager continued to increase the involvement of people in monitoring the quality and development of the service.

People had the information they needed to make a complaint and the service had processes in place to respond to any complaints.

People were supported by a team of staff that had the managerial guidance and support they needed to carry out their roles. The quality of the service was monitored by the audits regularly carried out by the manager and by the provider.
