All Inspections

13 September 2013

During a routine inspection

During the course of our visit we spoke with the staff member on duty and three of the people who used the service.

The service had taken into account the different needs of people living in the home by ensuring that information was provided in different ways including user friendly formats such as symbols and photographs. This fostered a more inclusive approach and supported people to have a better understanding on what was happening daily.

Care plans were developed specifically for each individual and provided staff with guidance on how to meet people's health, social and personal care needs. We saw that care plans were reviewed monthly. We saw that people using the service had signed documentation within their care plans to show that they agreed the content.

Each care file contained a pictorial copy of the complaints procedure. A copy of this was also seen in each person's bedroom and in the front entrance hall of the house. People we spoke with all said that they felt safe in the home and that they would speak to their key worker or the manager if they had any worries.

The staff member told us that the manager was very supportive and that they "loved" their job.

Care plan review meetings were held annually. These meetings are important as they enable relatives and professionals who have involvement with people's care, support and treatment to offer their views about the service provided.

Each person we spoke to said they were able to make choices in how they spent their time.

People also said they were able to make choices in times they went to bed and got up in the morning.

People said they were supported with their care and with daily routines. People described how they were supported by staff with domestic routines such as their laundry and keeping their room clean.

We were told by people that staff were available when they were at home.

30 November 2011

During a routine inspection

People who use the service told us that staff respected their choices and that they were supported and enabled to do things for themselves. They confirmed that they were getting the care and support they needed and told us how they took part in the ongoing assessment and review of their needs and abilities. They showed us their care and support plans and how their goals and achievements were recorded.

People told us that they felt safe living in the home and that they could talk with staff about any concerns. They knew each of the five members of staff by name and we saw there was a good rapport between them and staff. They said that the staff understood their needs and preferences and supported them well. We observed that staff communicated well with the people who use the service and promoted an inclusive, supportive environment.

People told us about how they were encouraged to take part in the daily running of the service, for example through regular house meetings, participating in health and safety checks and fire safety procedures.
