What the care home does well

The service provides a holistic, person centred service to the people that live there. The home is clean and maintained to a high standard. The staff team are positive and proactive in addressing the needs of the residents. The home is well managed with a robust recruitment procedure and on-going training, including both required and specialist training. Staff surveys completed and returned to the Commission contained positive comments regarding what they thought the home does well. One person said "Check service users take their medication. Give them good food, drinks and fruits. Provide transport for their outings and hospital appointments. Very socialised with the service users. Always prompt them on their personal hygiene. Give training to the staff. Communication is perfect". A second person stated that the service "Looks after residents well, meets their needs. Provides adequate training to staff". A third comment said that the service "Monitors progress of staff" and provides "Regular supervision and appraisal".

What has improved since the last inspection?

At the last key inspection there was one requirement made regarding references from previous employers prior to staff starting work. There was clear evidence during the inspection that employer references were being taken up for potential employees.

What the care home could do better:

The home is currently working to a very high standard, however, there are occasions when one staff member is on duty alone for the duration of a day and evening period, which constitutes a thirteen-hour shift. Although the AQAA stated that one complaint had been received and dealt with, there was no record of this in the complaints log within the home.

There is a comprehensive needs assessment process in place within Prudential Care Home. Individuals are appropriately supported and encouraged to be involved in the assessment process. The assessment focuses on achieving positive outcomes for the people who use this service. EVIDENCE: The initial assessment process was examined during the site visit to Prudential Care Home Ltd. It was positive to note that this was a comprehensive system, which focused wholly on identifying the needs of the prospective residents. The AQAA states that the home does not accept emergency admissions and only accepts those “who complete a comprehensive assessment through the Care Programme Approach in which the potential service user is fully involved”. Clear evidence to demonstrate this was seen in the resident file sampled. The initial assessment documentation contained complete personal information regarding the resident, including their name, date of birth, next of kin, key worker, where they were admitted from or referred by, religion, marital status, GP and contact details etc. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The ‘Prudential Care Home Application for Referral Form’ was completed in detail and contained further information regarding the support needs of the prospective resident i.e. it looked at areas such as emotional and mental health and outlined what these areas were, it explained the person’s clinical diagnosis, and then went on to present what the symptoms of this were and any warning signs. The assessment also contained details regarding the prospective residents physical health, medication and possible side effects, verbal/written communication support needs and practical support needs such as with housework, laundry, bed making and cooking. The assessment had clear aims and objectives regarding the needs of the resident, and also outlined present and future support needs. The input required from other professional bodies was documented in a comprehensive manner and there was a care statement completed by the resident which detailed their specific areas of need, i.e. ‘I would like my mate to visit me regularly; I would like a space to park my car; I would like my meals provided’.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The key principle of the service provided at Prudential Care Home is that the people who live there are in control of their lives and they direct the service. Staff members are fully committed in supporting people to lead purposeful lives as independently as possible. People who use this service make their own informed decisions and have the right to take risks in their daily lives. EVIDENCE: None of the people who live at Prudential Care Home require any support or assistance with their personal care. One resident’s care plan was looked at in detail during the visit to this service. The care plan was completed comprehensively and clearly identified the means by which the resident concerned could best be supported. The plan included information regarding the residents’ current mental state, and this detailed Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 improvements in their behaviour, their speech pattern and content, thought content, mood and perception. There was information contained within the care plan regarding the specific views of the resident, their identified goals and a clear summary of needs. Areas of risk to self and others were included in the plan as was information regarding how these presented and how they were to be managed. Risk assessments were also completed in relation to health and safety, the personal needs of the resident and manual handling. A copy of East London and The City NHS Mental Health Trust Care Programme Approach After Care Plan (Section 117) was contained in the file. This was also a comprehensive document, and had been signed by the resident, care co-ordinator and Bethnal Green CMHT. This plan contained the views of the resident, for example, it stated “(The resident) feels that (their) reviews, regular contact 2 weekly with CPN, medication and support from Prudential care staff, will tend to prevent a crisis” and “(The resident) is reasonably pleased with (their) present circumstances and progress in stress reduction, as well as the improved quality of life which (they are) currently experiencing”. The resident was given a copy of this care plan. One resident survey completed and returned to the Commission stated “Everything is OK”, and another stated, “..I am very happy at (Prudential Care Home) and I’ve improved a lot since I moved in….”. Two residents were spoken with during the site visit to this service and both of these were very positive about the support they receive at Prudential Care Home. All of the residents who completed surveys stated that they were always able to do what they wanted, during the day, in the evening and at the weekend, and all three said that they always made decisions about what to do each day. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prudential Care Home actively promotes the individuals right to live a meaningful life both within the home and in the wider community as is appropriate to their specific needs. EVIDENCE: Prudential Care Home encourages residents to partake in appropriate activities depending on their identified needs. One care plan examined demonstrated that a resident was given time to settle into the home without pressure or expectation so that their mental health needs were addressed and they had the opportunity to begin to establish therapeutic relationships with staff members and relationships with other residents. This was appropriate to the needs of the resident concerned. At a later date the resident had expressed an interest in participating in a course in computers. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 A second resident stated during a meeting that they felt they had improved a lot and might like to attend some outside activity. The outcome of this was, that the resident would be referred to day centre and make an informal visit to see whether they liked it with a view to attending on a regular basis. The manager stated during discussion that one of the people who live in the home are nocturnal, and they choose to go out at night to a cab office where they socialise until they are ready to return to the home. One resident spoken with during the course of the inspection said that they like to spend a lot of time in their room; however, they do mix with other residents when they want to and have visitors regularly. The AQAA received from Prudential Care Home states under the outcome group concerned with lifestyle, “Residents have unrestricted access to the home and the local community, its services and facilities. Service users are encouraged to take responsibility for themselves and to further develop their independent living skills”,. In the same outcome group the AQAA states that plans for improvement in the next six months include “To get more driver names on to the motor insurance to provide more flexible transport. Three residents would like season tickets for the cinema. To support them to obtain them..…. Organise an annual holiday”. One resident survey stated, that there are activities provided within the home and it is the residents’ choice whether they join in or not. During the site visit to this service the manager stated that the residents prepare breakfast for themselves and lunch. If people haven’t eaten, the staff will offer them a snack. One of the staff team cooks the evening meal, however, if someone who lives at the home wants to cook for themselves this is supported. The residents are consulted regularly regarding the food they want to eat. On 13/10/07 records show that all of the residents requested chicken tikka with bread and salad and on 12/10/07 a takeaway was ordered as per the residents choice. Alongside the records of what residents would like to eat, there is a diary, which contains information regarding what they actually ate, and this demonstrated that their choices were adhered to. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The people who live at Prudential Care Home receive effective healthcare support, using a person centred approach. Individual plans clearly and comprehensively record the persons healthcare needs and detail how they will be delivered. EVIDENCE: None of the people living at Prudential Care Home require support with personal care. Encouragement is offered to residents with a history of self-neglect to take more interest in their well-being, health, hygiene and appearance. For example one care plan examined stated that the ‘summary of needs’ for the person concerned were, “To sustain and improve mental health and well being. Expectations to remain realistic. To continue to support to improve level of personal hygiene, staff to continue to support (the resident) to spend time out of (their) room. To continue to develop therapeutic relationships”. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 One care plan looked at in detail contained clear records of input from health care professionals these included GP, dentist, attendance for depot injections with CPN and Mental Health Review’s with GP and Consultant. The plan was focused on the needs of the resident concerned and their emotional and healthcare needs were addressed. There were care plans in place for interventions aimed at promoting a healthier lifestyle and at addressing any issues regarding the mental health of the resident with clear symptoms outlined and strategies in place for the staff team to understand the needs of the resident. The home uses the Monitored Dosage System for administering medication through Boots the Chemist. The manager stated that once a person is admitted to the home they are registered with a local GP who will be responsible for prescribing their medication from thereon. There is a clear audit trail for medication, with all drugs received being recorded in one book and all returned drugs listed in another. The returned medication lists the name of the resident, the drug being returned, the number to be returned, and this is then signed and the pharmacist to whom the drugs are returned then stamps the book. Medication not contained in the blister packs is signed and dated when opened which is good practice. A number of medication administration records (MAR) were examined and it was positive to note that there were no omissions in the staff signatures. All of the MAR sheets had a photograph of the resident in situ, alongside consent from the resident for medication to be administered. Some medication profiles had been handwritten, and these had not been double-signed. It is good practice to ensure the person who writes the profile signs it and then gets someone else to check that what they have written is correct and to sign it as well. One resident required ‘as and when required’ or PRN medication. There was not a recorded protocol in place describing why this resident might be administered this medication. One staff member spoken with stated that all of the staff team administer medication and that they are trained by Boots and also in-house using a BVS DVD and completing a questionnaire. The registered manager also checks the competency level of each staff member. There have been no controlled drugs at the home since it opened. It was positive to note that the manager at the home had sought advice from one of the Commission’s Pharmacy Inspectors when he was uncertain of a medication issue.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prudential Care Home has an open culture that allows residents to express their views in a safe and understanding environment. People who live at the home say they are happy with the service provided and are well supported. EVIDENCE: Prudential Care Home has a clear and comprehensive complaints procedure, and all of the residents who completed surveys stated that they were aware of who to speak to if they were not happy and of how to make a complaint. During the inspection the complaints log was examined. This was set up in a way to record concerns/ complaints and compliments; however, nothing was recorded within this document. The AQAA states that one complaint had been received by the home and that this was “promptly and satisfactorily investigated”, but information in relation to this was not recorded in the complaints log. Staff members at the home receive training in the safeguarding of vulnerable adults as part of their induction. The BVS DVD regarding raising adult abuse concerns and whilstleblowing were seen during the inspection. One staff member spoken with said that most of the staff team are NVQ trained and that they complete safeguarding training as part of this. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 There have been no safeguarding referrals raised at the home. One staff survey received by the Commission stated under the ‘What the service does well’ section, “Meet the needs of all service users ensuring our health and safety environment at all times. Protect every individual’s rights, dignity, privacy and from all forms of abuse”. Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

Seven of the staff team have completed NVQ2 and two have completed NVQ3. Four weeks of duty rotas were examined and these recorded that over this period of time the registered manager has been in the home on duty for five days. His number is the on-call number each week. The deputy manager is scheduled to work from 09:00 to 17:00 for between three and five days each week. There is no management structure in place at the weekends and there Prudential Care Home Ltd DS0000066823.V351376.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 are occasions when one member of staff is on duty for the whole day and evening period by themselves. For example, on 13/10/07 one staff member is scheduled to work from 08:00 to 21:00, on 14/10/07 one member of staff is scheduled to work from 08:00 to 21:00, on 16/10/07 and 17/10/07 the same member of staff was scheduled to work for this duration, however the deputy manager was also scheduled to work from 09:00 to 17:00.

Staff recruitment files were examined. The home has a pro forma system in place whereby confirmation of all checks and references undertaken are recorded. Both of the recruitment files examined demonstrated that all of the required information had been sought prior to employment. Three staff members training files were examined and these demonstrated that a thorough induction was implemented and that this was in line with the Skills for Care Induction Standards.
