Parry House provides care and accommodation for up to eight people who have a learning disability. At the time of the inspection eight people were living at the home. The home is one of eight houses run by Purley Park Trust Limited on a site that includes day care facilities for people such as a club house and gardening project.
People told us they were satisfied with the service they received. A relative also told us the care was of a good standard and that the service promoted people’s independence. The relative said: “The freedom and care is beyond everything. My relative is looked after well and is always happy.”
We saw that people were involved in decisions and reviews about their care and leisure needs. Staff were observed to treat people with respect and acknowledged people’s choice as well as their independence.
Records showed that the service liaised with health care providers so that people received appropriate health care checks and treatment where needed. We spoke to two health and social care professionals who told us the service made appropriate referrals to them for any support and treatment for people.
Care records included details about how staff should support people with any behaviour needs and how to communicate with people. We observed staff interacting with people and people were treated with kindness and compassion. Staff were observed to deal with any behaviour needs by calmly redirecting people to more positive activities.
There were a number of activities provided for people and we observed people using the nearby club house or relaxing in the lounge. The service also provided activities outside the home.
The service had recently reviewed its staffing levels which had resulted in an increase from three to four staff between the hours of 0700 and 1430 from 21 April 2014. At the time of the inspection there were three staff on duty, which staff said was sufficient to meet people’s needs.
Staff were provided with a range of training which included first aid and the safeguarding of vulnerable adults as well as vocational qualifications such as the Diploma in Health and Social Care and /or the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in care.
Each person had their own bedroom with an en suite bathroom. People were able to maintain their privacy, security and independence by locking their bedroom door unless an assessment identified they were not safe to do this. The premises were well maintained and clean although we noted there were minor decorative defects such as plug holes in walls where shelves had been removed and two en suite bathroom floors were in need of additional cleaning.
The home had a registered manager who was in day to day control of the home.
We saw that people were encouraged to make decisions for themselves. Where people were unable to do this the service considered the person’s capacity under the Mental Capacity Act 2005. At the time of the inspection there were no people subject to a Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) order.
