What the care home does well

The home provides clean, comfortable and bright accommodation for residents. They have bedrooms that they can personalise and feel comfortable in. Residents` health and personal care is monitored in comprehensive, personcentred care plans. There is a range of social and leisure activities that residents can participate in. They are supported to be involved in decisions about the home and their lifestyles. Residents know who to speak with if they have a problem. Staff receive enough training to give them the knowledge and skills to provide appropriate care for residents.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The manager has taken action to address the requirement raised at the last inspection. There are no outstanding issues from either the Environmental Health or the Fire Safety Officers. The redecoration and refurbishment of the home, inside and out, has resulted in a more attractive, brighter environment for the residents to live in. The care plans are becoming more person-centred and personalised to reflect the residents` greater involvement in them.

What the care home could do better:

The manager would benefit from having specific management time to accomplish the administrative duties she has to do. Staff numbers on duty in the daytime should be enough to meet the needs of all the residents in their personal care needs and leisure pursuits without including the manager as a care staff member all the time.

This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. An unannounced visit was made to the home as part of a key inspection. It started at 14.00 and lasted 3¾ hours. Before we visited the service the company and manager completed and sent to us a questionnaire called the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). This is a document we ask the manager to provide for us as it gives important information about how the service is operating, which we review and use as part of the overall inspection process. We also wrote to people who use the service to ask them to tell us what they think about the care they receive. Information from these sources, as well as that which we hold about the service, was used to plan the visit and produce this report. The main tracking’, care they care staff method of inspection we used during our visit was called ‘casewhich involves selecting a proportion of residents, and tracking the receive through the checking of records, discussion with them, the and observation of care practices. The visit to the home focused on whether key standards and requirements from previous inspections had been met and how people feel about the service provided. The care received by three people was followed in detail to check whether their health, safety and welfare was supported in the right way and that they are able, with support to maintain their dignity, autonomy and choice. During our visit we asked people about how they would like to be addressed. They told us they would prefer to be called residents for the purpose of our report. One staff member on duty and all of the ten residents, including those being case-tracked, spoke with us. Residents spoke about their experience of living at the home. Their personal records, general house records and staff records were looked at and the way care was given to the residents was observed. Before we made our visit people told us they were positive about the level and quality of care given, that there are activities they can join in, that staff listen to what residents say and that meals are enjoyed. One person told us “I feel the home does well.” Any comments we received from staff or residents will be mentioned in the main body of this report. The manager was present throughout this inspection.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The care planning, healthcare and medication practices in place help to keep residents safe and healthy. Residents are treated with respect and dignity and they have choices in their daily life. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 EVIDENCE: We saw the care plans of three residents. The manager showed us how she and staff are developing more personal-centred and personalised plans which put the resident ‘in charge’ of their own records, with assistance from their keyworker, to ensure the residents receive personal support in the way they want and need. All the care plans were very comprehensive, well-laid out and relevant to each person. They were all reviewed monthly to make sure the residents’ needs are met at all times. One person said that the staff always keep them informed of any health needs or changes in the resident they represent. The care plans demonstrate that residents are monitored and regularly checked to ensure their healthcare needs are met. Medication practices were looked at. At the time of the visit, all the people at the home need support to take their medicines. The supplying pharmacist visits regularly, audits their medication record sheets, practices and procedures and does training for staff to make sure they are knowledgeable when giving the medicines out and that their practices are safe. Each resident’s photo is on the front sheet of their medication record sheets for better identification of the individual, which is safe practice. Staff are in the process of adding instructions of how residents prefer to take their own medicines, so that any bank, agency or new staff know how to give them their medicines without any issue or problem. Residents told us they are treated with dignity and respect. They all have a key to their own rooms. They were seen being encouraged to make choices during our visit to the home. There was a positive rapport between staff and the residents throughout the visit time. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 (Older People) and Standards 7, 11– 15 and 17 (Adults 18-65) are: 12.

The Commission considers standards 12, 13, 14 and 15 (Older People) and Standards 12, 13, 15 and 17 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15 (OP) & 12, 13, 15, 17 (Adult 18-65) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are able to help make choices about how they want to live their lives, and what they want to do. They benefit from a healthy diet that is based around their needs and preferences. EVIDENCE: Activities were observed and people confirmed that there is always plenty to do. Some residents told us they often go out to the town and local community, Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 with staff to assist them, and they enjoy it. Some residents go to day services several days each week. One resident told us they went on holiday to Devon last year with the others. Staff say they spend time helping residents with their activities but feel that more staff on duty would give each staff more individual time with the residents to help them achieve their potential as they can only give attention to residents one or two at a time. A relative said that they feel the care service supports the people at the home to live the life they choose. The manager said that they encourage the residents to keep in touch with family and friends. One resident said she has visits from a friend who lives nearby. The manager tried to research for a resident’s family through various means as the resident felt left out and sad when others had their families visit. The residents said they like the food and that there is plenty of it. One resident said they are a very fussy eater but there is always a different choice when they do not like what the others have chosen. The manager and staff are in the process of producing photographs of the food the residents like and would want, as well as healthy options, so that it is easier for them to make choices each day. The manager showed us she is in the process of engaging with the Environmental Health Officer in the project, ‘Safer food, better business’, which will improve the staff’s knowledge of food and hygiene and be a auditing tool of the progress they make in this area. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 – 18 (Older People) and Standards 22 – 23 (Adults 18-65) are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service Users feel their views are listened to and acted on.

(YA NMS 23) The Commission considers standards 16 and 18 (Older People) and Standards 22 and 23 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16, 18 (OP) & 22, 23 (Adults 18-65) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are protected by knowing they can voice any concerns and will be taken notice of, and by staff who are trained to prevent abuse and who are conscientious and caring to the residents at all times. EVIDENCE: Before we visited the home, people told us that all the residents know who to approach if they are not happy or if they wish to complain about anything at the home. The home’s complaints file showed that any concerns or complaints received were investigated, handled and actioned upon appropriately. Staff told us they are trained in and know how to keep the residents safe from harm. Staff training records showed that training for Safeguarding Adults is due to be renewed for most staff. Since our last inspection, any concerns have been responded to by the manager, as confirmed by records we saw at the time of the visit. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 The manager made a referral regarding staff issues and safeguarding adults since the last inspection. It was dealt with appropriately by the manager and within a reasonable timescale. The manager sends us notification of any untoward incidents or accidents as and when they occur. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 (Older People) and Standards 24 – 30 (Adults 18-65) are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

(YA NMS 30) The Commission considers standards 19 and 26 (Older People) and Standards 24 and 30 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, Reg 26 (OP) & 24, 30 (Adults 18-65) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is maintained in a clean, tidy state and residents are protected by hygienic measures in place. People like their homely environment. EVIDENCE: The re-decoration programme both inside and out of the home has been completed. New furniture, carpeting and curtains are in place. A resident said, Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 “looks lovely, doesn’t it”. Residents told us they like their rooms and have helped to choose the colours and can put in them what they want. In their surveys, both residents ticked that the home is always clean and fresh. One commented, “I’m happy with everything.” A problem the home had with the boiler system for supplying hot water has been resolved and all residents said they now have hot enough water to meet their needs. The home has up-to-date policies and procedures for maintaining the hygiene standards in the home. In October 2007, the Environmental Health Officer gave the home a positive report and awarded them with three stars. The requirements from the last Fire Safety Officer’s report were acted upon. Staff have had training in safe hygiene and safety practices. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 (Older People) and Standards 31 – 35 (Adults 18-65) are: 27. 28. 29.

The Commission considers standards 27, 28, 29 and 30 (Older People) and Standards 32, 34 and 35 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29, 30 (OP) & 32, 34, 35 (Adults 18-65) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are kept safe and are cared for by staff who are friendly, caring and appropriately trained. However, residents would benefit from having additional staff time to promote the activities they wish to pursue. EVIDENCE: Both before and during our visit, staff members told us that they are wellstaffed enough to keep to residents safe and meet their needs. However, it was noted that the manager was included fully in the care staff duty rota so that when she has her administrative duties to do, there is additional pressure placed on her to complete both caring and administrative tasks. We spoke with the home’s owner after our visit who agreed to review staffing levels and provide any additional support that might be needed. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 A recently employed staff member’s records showed that they were recruited safely, with the appropriate checks and references in place. The assessment form, the AQAA (Annual Quality Assurance Assessment), sent to us by the manager stated that out of the eight permanent staff, two have acquired nationally–recognised qualifications. The manager told us that other staff are about to commence additional training and had application forms to confirm this. Staff said, and the manager confirmed, they have staff meetings mostly monthly and feel well-supported. Staff told us their training was good, and that some training is now to be renewed and updated. The manager told us that most training is done ‘inhouse’ with some assistance from outside trainers. Throughout our visit, we saw staff members using the outcome of their training to provide people with the support they needed. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 (Older People) and Standards 8, 10, 23, 37 – 43 (Adults 18-65) are: 31. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 35, 38 (OP) & Reg 37, 39, 42 (Adults 18-65) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has practices and maintenance in place to ensure the residents are comfortable and cared for in a safe and appropriate manner. Netherlands DS0000002392.V366525.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 The quality assurance in place covers most aspects of gaining the views, opinions and wishes of residents, relatives and staff. EVIDENCE: Staff said the manager had an open-door policy and felt they could go to her to discuss issues. Residents spoke well of the manager. The company statement, in the AQAA they returned, said, “we … attach great importance to gaining their views, to taking them into account and ensuring that our clients are fully informed and aware of the purpose of our actions. We do this by formal consultation through our internal quality assurance, where all clients’ views are sought; personal dialogue with our clients through the care plan review process; informal dialogue through our key worker network.” During the visit to the home, we saw the quality assurance measures that were in place. The manager audits many aspects of the service they provide, as demonstrated in documents we saw. A representative from the organisation visits monthly and completes a report, a copy of which is sent to us regularly. Staff confirmed that their opinion is sought and they are taken notice of. All staff have regular one-to-one supervision meetings with the manager, the contents of which are documented and agreed between the staff and manager. The manager also showed us an audit tool they maintain to keep staff one-toones up-to-date. The manager showed us how she is reviewing and supporting staff members to develop the way they work in order to continue improving the standard of care we observed during our visit.
