The last key inspection was conducted on 18 December 2008. We examined the written documentation in the home including care plans, medication records, staff recruitment, staff training and health and safety records. We conducted a tour of the building and viewed a random selection of bedrooms. We spoke to some of the people living at the home to see if it was helping them to meet their needs and provide them with a happy and comfortable environment to live in. Surveys were also sent to the home and we received five completed surveys for people living in the home and six from the staff group.The manager and members of staff on duty were spoken with during the visit. We have reviewed our practice when making requirements, to improve national Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 28 consistency. Some requirements from previous inspection reports may have been deleted or carried forward into this report as recommendations - but only when it is considered that people who use services are not being put at significant risk of harm. In future, if a requirement is repeated, it is likely that enforcement action will be taken. Care Homes for Older People Page 7 of 28 What the care home does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The requirements made at the last visit to the home had been met. Peoples care needs and associated risks were now recorded in detail on the assessments and care plans. This ensures staff have complete information to meet peoples care needs safely and consistently. They had ensured that where possible the care plans and risk assessments were discussed and signed by the person using the service or their representative. A training plan had been developed to identify all the mandatory training needs and how these are to be met over the next year. The manager had made sure that all the staff had completed mandatory training in the past year in moving and handling and protecting vulnerable adults. Care Homes for Older People Page 8 of 28 The systems for assisting people with their money had improved and the records were now clearly maintained. Records of fire system checks had been kept up to date. What they could do better: If you want to know what action the person responsible for this care home is taking following this report, you can contact them using the details on page 4.

Care Homes for Older People Page 9 of 28 Details of our findings Contents Choice of home (standards 1 - 6) Health and personal care (standards 7 - 11) Daily life and social activities (standards 12 - 15) Complaints and protection (standards 16 - 18) Environment (standards 19 - 26) Staffing (standards 27 - 30) Management and administration (standards 31 - 38) Outstanding statutory requirements Requirements and recommendations from this inspection Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 28 Choice of home These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Peoples needs had been assessed before admission to the home and care plans had been developed, this meant that staff had information to be able to meet peoples needs. Intermediate care is not provided. Evidence: Three care files were examined. There was evidence in these files of an improved assessment process. The files contained assessments completed prior to admission and a further assessment completed on admission. These documents provided very detailed information about peoples individual needs and preferences for care provision. The files also contained assessments in relation to new legislation to protect peoples rights to their liberty. The assessments included information from people who used the services and their Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 28 Evidence: representatives and health professionals. This evidenced that the home worked in partnership to ensure full information about peoples lives and care needs was recorded. Care plans had been developed from the information gathered at assessment and staff confirmed that they were always provided with information about peoples needs. The home does not provide intermediate care. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 28 Health and personal care These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Peoples health and personal care needs were met and people felt they were treated with respect. Evidence: Three care files were examined. New improved care plan formats had been implemented, these were very detailed and focused on the individuals care needs and preferences with regard to daily routines. Two files were maintained one regarding daily care needs and another relating to health care needs. Detailed daily records about the care provided and peoples health or mood were maintained. Incidents of challenging behavior were recorded in detail and plans of care to manage these incidents were in place. There was a good understanding of new legislation relating to depriving people of their liberty within a care environment and how this should be implemented in the home. Information regarding this was included in peoples care plans and assessments had been completed where necessary. Staff had been made aware of the implications of this legislation and how it related to the care they provided. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 28 Evidence: There was evidence in care plans that the home had gathered information about peoples life histories. Families had been involved in this process and had provided much of the information. Photographs of people living in the home, both current and older photos depicting significant times in peoples lives were also used in care plans. This approach to care planning assisted the staff to communicate with people in a meaningful way and to provide person centered care. New and more detailed monthly evaluations of the care plan had been completed although care must be taken to ensure all elements of the care is evaluated to ensure any changes are identified. In one case the information in the care file had been evaluated but information in the health file had not been included and the care plan updated with this information. The home had developed good links with health professionals. The manager stated that they were working in partnership with the local GP in a pilot scheme to implement the Gold Standard Framework (GSF). GSF is a systematic evidence based approach to optimising the care for people nearing the end of life. It is concerned with helping people to live well until the end of their life and includes care in the final years of life for people with any end stage illness in any setting. A chiropodist regularly visited the home and records showed assistance was given to attend other health care appointments such as the optician and dentist when required. The home had developed links with the dietetics department at the local hospital and staff had attended training in this area. Staff demonstrated that they had a good working knowledge of peoples needs. One person living in the home said that the care is very good and the staff are lovely. There was evidence that the manger tried to ensure that the care plans or risk assessments were signed by the individual or their representative to show that these had been discussed and agreed. In all cases there was evidence that people had been involved in the development of their care plans. The home demonstrated that it administered medication appropriately by keeping comprehensive and fully completed records. Medication was stored appropriately. The temperature of the room and medication fridge were monitored although care must be taken that these are completed consistently on a daily basis. Training records and discussions with staff confirmed that those who administered medication had been trained to do so. Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 28 Evidence: The written medication policy and procedure did not include procedures for disposal of medication or the action to take in the event of a medication error and the manager was advised at the last inspection that this should be further developed. This had not been completed. Further examination of the procedures indicated that these documents required a complete review as there was more than one version held in the home with differing information in each. People spoken with said that staff treated them with respect and were polite. Staff were observed to be constantly alert to peoples individual needs and positive, lively and supportive interactions were observed between individuals and staff. A number of people said that the staff were nice and kind to them. On surveys one person said the staff make you feel really comfortable. A visitor said carers are very nice and they engage people. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 28 Daily life and social activities These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives. They are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. People have nutritious and attractive meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People were provided with very individualised care which enabled them to experience a lifestyle in the home which satisfied their social, cultural religious and recreational needs. A varied and nutritious diet was provided. Evidence: Social needs and preferences were now identified on assessment and care planning in this area had improved. Peoples lifestyle in the home satisfied their social, cultural religious and recreational needs. This was evidenced from care plans, talking to people living in the home and discussions withn staff. There was a real feeling of community in the home between the people who lived there and the staff. People shared their newspapers with each other and there was a a great deal of friendly communication between both staff and people who lived there. Although there was no formal daily plan of activities, a range of daily activities was offered in the home including bingo, reminiscence,board games, baking and arts and craft. Staff were observed to positively encourage and assist people with activities. Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 28 Evidence: Religious services were regularly held in the home and people were able to attend church services in the community if they wished. People were assisted on trips outside the home to the local area or to the companys sister home for organised events. A person living in the home said I like to join in with the activities such as bingo and always get help when I am playing. A visitor said mum doesnt interact or join in but staff try to engage her. Some people living in the home were observed assisting in tasks in the home. One was seen setting the tables for lunch. They said that they enjoyed being involved in the home. Another said they were quite happy just to sit back and relax. Contact with family and friends was promoted by the home and people were positive about being able to see their friends and family when they wished. Pictures of the food to be served were displayed to assist people to make an informed choice about what they wanted to eat. A number of people in the home commented about the food and how good it was. Comments about the food included always good, meat always tender, when its something I dont like they always do something different for me, there are good choices, and the portions are good. Menus were balanced and varied. The menus indicated that a choice was available at most meals. The cook was very knowledgeable about peoples needs and likes and dislikes. He stated that the vegetables were, with the exception of peas, always fresh. The kitchen was very clean and tidy and had improved its quality rating with environmental health from three stars to four. Care Homes for Older People Page 17 of 28 Complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them know how to complain. Any concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse and neglect and takes action to follow up any allegations. People’s legal rights are protected, including being able to vote in elections. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People were confident that complaints would be listened to and taken seriously. Procedures and staff training were available to protect people from abuse. Evidence: The home had a clear complaints procedure in place and this was displayed in the home. People spoken to said that they were were very happy and had no complaints about the home and felt confident to raise issues of concern if they arose. The relationships between staff and people who live in the home were observed to be open and inclusive. The home had a policy in place to protect people from abuse. Staff spoken with were clear about reporting procedures should anyone make an allegation of abuse. All staff had received training in this area via the local council or an external provider. There had been one allegation of abuse in the home. We spoke to the investigator from the Local Authority safe guarding team. She stated that she had completed the investigation with regard to the allegation and this was unfounded. She found the manager had acted appropriately in regard to the allegation and said that the manager had put in place all recommendations arising from the investigation. Care Homes for Older People Page 18 of 28 Environment These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home was very clean, hygienic and well maintained and suitable for the people accommodated.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable to care for them. Their needs are met and they are cared for by staff who get the relevant training and support from their managers. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Well-trained staff looked after people in the home. However there was lack of forward planning to ensure all mandatory training was kept up to date. Recruitment procedures offered protection to people living in the home. Evidence: The home was staffed appropriately. Three care staff were on duty throughout the day, which included a senior member of staff. A further member of staff was provided at weekends on the early shift and a teatime assistant was provided for three hours,seven days a week. Two members of staff were on duty from 8pm to 8am with a staff member on call. The home was committed to staff achieving qualifications in care, of the nineteen care staff employed, thirteen had achieved NVQ level 2. The staff recruitment files evidenced that all checks with regard POVA first check (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) and Criminal record bureau checks (CRB) had been obtained. Two written references had also been obtained in all cases. Although in two cases references had not been sent for from previous employers where the staff member had worked with vulnerable people. The manager immediately sent for references from the employers in question. This is recommended as good practice to Care Homes for Older People Page 21 of 28 Evidence: ensure the staff member is suitable to work with vulnerable people. A training plan was in place and a record of training received by staff in the home was available for inspection. The staff confirmed that they received a wide variety of training in the home which was relevant to their role. A training plan to identify all the mandatory training needs and how these were to be met over the next year had been developed and some of this training had been booked. Training in working with people with dementia had been provided and was ongoing for all staff. Throughout the inspection the staff showed that they were very skilled in working with people with dementia. Staff had received an induction to skills for care standards once employed by the home. A visitor said the carers seem very nice. People living in the home said of the staff the staff make you feel really comfortable, the staff are always there when needed and are very helpful and the staff are very nice. Care Homes for Older People Page 22 of 28 Management and administration These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is led and managed appropriately. People control their own money and choose how they spend it. If they or someone close to them cannot manage their money, it is managed by the care home in their best interests. The environment is safe for people and staff because appropriate health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. The people staying at the home are safeguarded because it follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and ensures their staff understand the way things should be done. They get the right care because the staff are supervised and supported by their managers. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home was well managed and there was an ongoing commitment to improvement of the service. Staff were well supported and they were enthusiastic about their work. Evidence: The manager has been in post for six years and has achieved the registered managers award and NVQ level 4 in care. Staff and people living in the home said that the manager is approachable and supportive. The home were committed to improving the services provided in the home and worked closely with other agencies to achieve this. They were, for example, involved in a number of pilot schemes, including infection control and pressure area care, to improve care with their health care providers. The home operated a quality assurance system that sought the views of people living in the home and staff health professionals and other stakeholders on a regular basis via questionnaires. Very positive responses had been received. There was a monthly Care Homes for Older People Page 23 of 28 Evidence: audit system in place that looked at key areas aimed at improving standards. Whilst the outcomes from these systems had been identified, action plans had not been developed to show how the home will continue its development and improvement. The home had achieved the Investors in People award in October 2008. Where the home looked after the personal monies of people living in the home records of transactions were maintained. A random selection of these records were checked with the money held. The records had improved, records were clearly maintained, regularly audited and receipts were held for all purchases. Formal one to one supervision had been provided and they were on target to achieve at least six sessions per year. Staff confirmed that they were regularly supervised and felt supported. Health and safety was well managed in the home. Equipment safety checks were carried out and policies and procedures and staff training were in place to support safe working practice. However there were a number of files containing policies and procedures which had evolved over the years and some procedures had been duplicated with slightly different information which could be misleading for the staff.
