This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means that the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes.
An unannounced visit took place on 1 July 2008 and lasted seven hours. This visit was just one part of the inspection. Before the visit the home was also asked to complete a questionnaire to provide up to date information about its services. CSCI questionnaires were also made available for people living in the home and staff to find out their views. Other information since the last key inspection was also reviewed. During the visit various records and the premises were looked at. A number of people who live at the home, staff and a relative were also spoken with and they gave their views about the service. Twenty-four out of thirty-eight standards were assessed and all were met. All the key standards were assessed. The one recommendation made at the previous inspection had been met. Two recommendations were made following this visit. What the service does well:
There is an established staff team at the home who were keen for high standards to be maintained so the people living there receive good quality care. Residents’ plans of care and individual case notes were well documented so staff know what they should do to meet people’s needs. Day to day supervision of staff was good and the staff receive formal supervision so they get support from the manager. Regular staff meetings were taking place so staff could have a say in how the home was being run. Meals were varied and reflected people’s preference. They offered choice and variety so people living at the home were able to enjoy a varied diet to help keep them well and healthy. The home is clean and well maintained so people live in a comfortable and homely surrounding. Gleavewood DS0000006504.V366655.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 People living in the home told us: “The home is always fresh and clean and I always like the meals”; “The staff are available when I need them”; and “Staff are pleasant to me.” Relatives told us “Gleavewood is a happy atmosphere” and “we find the staff pleasant and helpful.” Staff said: “I am given training relevant to my role and I have also been offered NVQ training. The manager is approachable and helpful. There is always the correct number of staff on each shift although sometimes there could be more as the needs of the residents are increasingly growing”; “We provide a comfortable, clean and friendly environment putting the needs of the residents as a priority; “I was given an excellent induction. The home has an excellent team spirit and the staff are dedicated, reliable and well trained. The home is clean and tidy and provides good food”; and “It also provides an excellent service to all residents and their families. I am very happy working here and I feel I have been given the opportunity to get NVQ training and I can talk to the manager with any problems I may have.” What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

EVIDENCE: A copy of the statement of purpose and service user guide was available in each person’s bedroom. The service users’ guide was written in plain English and large print. A current copy of the last inspection report was also available. The service users’ guide included information about the home, aims and objectives, residents’ charter, services, all areas of care, the complaints procedure, staff details and a copy of the customer satisfaction survey analysis produced in 2007. The statement of purpose and service users guide had been reviewed in March 2008. Gleavewood DS0000006504.V366655.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Some of the people who live in the home confirmed that they were involved in planning their own care. Staff were aware of the needs of the people living in the home. Within each of their files there was an assessment that had been done before they moved in and which detailed their needs.

Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 & 10 People who use this service experience good outcomes in this area.

The residents’ health, personal and social care needs are met by the staff team who enable them to maintain their privacy and dignity. Residents and relatives were satisfied with the support they received from the manager and staff. EVIDENCE: Three care files were checked during our visit. These files contained all the information necessary to ensure that people’s needs are met. The care plans were clearly written and covered all personal care areas including medication, eating and drinking, washing and dressing, work and leisure, and sleeping. There was also a life profile document, which showed details about a person’s past, and what is important to them. This was a very good document; it was completed with the resident, their family and key worker so it gave a good background on a person and their particular likes and dislikes. Gleavewood DS0000006504.V366655.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The daily records were kept in a separate file and these were well written with staff noting changes to people; activities undertaken and the details of visitors were also recorded. All files checked contained up to date reviews. Many of the people living in the home were not able to confirm that they had been involved in the care planning or review process. However they were able to confirm that staff helped them when they needed it, such as with personal care tasks and that staff were very good to them. A monitored dosage system for medicines is used in the home and these are stored in a steel drugs trolley. Unused medicines are returned to the pharmacist each month. Medication administration record sheets were seen and appropriately completed. There is a policy on the safe and secure handling and administration of medications and one on homely policies available in the home. A copy of the homely remedies sheets signed by the resident’s doctor was seen on each person’s file. The manager confirmed that staff had received medication awareness training and this was noted on their files. We saw medicines being given to people who live at the home during lunchtime and this was done correctly. The staff member went to each person and checked they had taken the medicine before moving on to the next person. Visits from healthcare professionals were recorded and it was noted that the GPs, district nurses, optician, audiologist and the chiropodist regularly visited people living in the home. Staff were observed interacting with residents during lunch. The staff were attentive to people’s needs and helped them when required. The general atmosphere within the home was warm and friendly. The aims and objectives for the home state that “the respect of residents privacy and dignity is an essential requirement of all our staff and we aim to recruit “natural” carers.” During this visit we saw that staff worked in a way that respected the privacy and dignity of the people living in the home.

Gleavewood DS0000006504.V366655.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The residents’ charter for the home states, “residents are able to receive visitors at any reasonable time”. Relatives confirmed that they were made welcome at all times of the day by the staff. The visits from families and friends were recorded in the daily record sheets, which were seen during the visit. People who live at the home were offered choices in various ways such as: choosing the time they get up in the morning and retire to bed at night; choosing the clothes they wear; deciding whether or not to join in planned activities. Also people can have a TV or telephone in their own bedrooms and the “life profile” document asks what the person’s preferred name is. There is a computer available in the dining room for people living in the home to use. Staff help them do this if needed. Some people living in the home have family in Australia and America and are able to keep in touch with them via e-mail. The menus were seen and the summer menu is currently being used. This is a four-week menu plan. It is mainly a traditional menu with some “new recipes” included to add more variety. The lunch was seen served; the main meal was sausages in onion gravy with mashed potato, fresh broccoli and peas followed by fresh fruit salad and ice cream. Alternatives were offered if people didn’t like the main meal and a choice of deserts were also available. After the meal people who lived in the home confirmed they had enjoyed it.
