29th September 2017 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We inspected this service on 29 September 2017. This was an announced inspection as we wanted to ensure there were people available to tell us about the service. This inspection was completed by one inspector. At our last inspection in September 2015 we found the service to be meeting the requirements of the regulations and we rated the service as ‘Good’. At this inspection the service remains ‘Good’.

The service was registered to provide accommodation and personal care for up to 16 people with learning disabilities. The home was divided into three units. One unit for those developing skills to enable them to be independent, a unit for people who required more support and a short stay unit for people to receive respite. Some people had lived at the home for long periods whilst others accessed the home for short term respite care. At the time of our inspection, there were nine people using the service on a permanent basis and seven using the service for respite.

The service had a registered manager. 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 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run.

People felt there was enough staff to support their needs and they made them feel safe. Risks relating to the environment and activities had been assessed and reviewed. If required equipment had been ordered to make the environment safe.

The provider had followed a recruitment process that ensured people were supported by staff whose suitability had been checked. Staff told us the training available to them was varied and provided them with the skills they required for their role.

People received their medicines as prescribed and there was a flexible approach when people went out or changed their daily routine. There was a varied choice of meals and people felt they could be part of the menu planning for their meals. Some people were supported to cook their own meals and other people had been engaged in making the meal for the other people using the service.

We saw some people were unable to make some decisions. In these instances people had been supported through a best interest approach. Some people were under constant supervision and for these people an application had been made to ensure this was done legally

The staff had developed positive relationships with people and embraced their activities and interests. People were respected in relation to their decisions and their environment when they received personal care. Relatives were welcome at the home and opportunities had been made to maintain relationships.

There was a complaints policy which had been followed when required. People felt able to raise any concerns and were confident they would be addressed. People’s opinions had been considered in making improvements.

The provider used a range of audits to maintain standards and consider improvements. The registered manager understood the requirements in relation to notifying us of events. We saw the rating had been displayed in the reception of the home and it was also accessible on the providers website.

Staff acted in accordance with the requirements of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. Where people did not have capacity to make decisions themselves, we saw that mental capacity assessments were in place and records showed that decisions had been made in their best interest. Nobody was under a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguard at the time of our inspection.

Staff knew people well and supported them to follow their interests and keep in touch with people that mattered to them. People told us staff respected their privacy and dignity.

11th September 2013 - During a routine inspection pdf icon

We spoke with three people at the home. They told us they were happy to be there and the service was able to meet their needs. One person told us” staff treat me well”. We saw people were out for most of the day. Some people attended day centres and others were having group or one to one activities supported by care workers. When people returned to the home we saw people taking part in activities of their choosing such as tidying their bedroom or listening to their music. We found risk assessments and care planning provided sufficient guidance for care workers to be able to ensure people’s safety and well being.

One person told us they liked the food at the home and enjoyed being included in making drinks for themselves. We saw that meal choices ensured a balanced diet was offered. Another person told us they worked voluntarily with a staff member in the kitchen and washed the dishes after the meals as one of their activities. We found people were provided with medicines that were stored safely and given as directed.

One person told us they thought the home was a nice place. Another person told us they could ask any member of staff for help and it would be given to them. We saw audits took place to monitor the quality of the service.
