During a routine inspection

During our visit to 182 Bromham Road on 26 October 2011 we were unable to speak to any of the six people living at the service about their experiences as only one person was able to communicate verbally and this person was out of the home at the start of our visit and not available to talk with us when he returned to the home. However we observed how care and support was provided and how people reacted to the staff team in order to inform our judgements.

One resident returned from a shopping trip with a new coat. It was apparent, from the pleasure on her face, when she showed the coat to the various staff members that she had chosen this particular coat and had been supported to purchase what she wanted.

Again it was apparent from the excitement one individual exhibited when staff reminded him he was going to a concert that evening that he had been involved in his activity plan and he was going somewhere that interested and excited him.

People who used the service were all registered with local GP's. One person's file indicated that staff had recognised a potential medical condition and sought the appropriate services for this person.

People living at 182 Bromham Road were relaxed and happy in the staff presence and interacted well with them.
