What the care home does well

Tollington Lodge continues to provide a homely, caring and supportive environment. Staff are dedicated to meeting the needs of people living in the home in a personal, Person Centred way. The opinions of people in the home are valued, encouraging independence and taking into account the need to respect dignity and privacy.

The programme includes a choral group, poetry group, craft and geography groups as well as musical entertainment and quizzes.Comments received about Tollington Lodge were very positive. Comments on the surveys were, `I am very happy living here the staff are very helpful,` `Generally it is a very caring home the staff are good and the food is good,` and `there is always a warm welcome for visitors.` One resident spoken to said they felt `very well cared for and involved in the day to day running of the home.` Whilst another said they had nothing to complain about they had plenty to do and were very well supported. Relatives indicated that they were very happy with the care provided. One person commented that `the care given to residents is excellent and the staff are cheerful kind and very approachable.`

What has improved since the last inspection?

At the last inspection we made four requirements. During this visit we found that the provider and manager had worked hard to meet those requirements. All staff have received training relevant to their role in the home, this includes all mandatory training that must be done every year. The manager has now got a regular supervision programme in place, this means that staff regularly meet with the manager and discuss the areas they would like to develop through training. Because training had improved since the last inspection we found that all staff now have a current first aid certificate so that residents always have access to a first aider. The fire log showed that staff are now checking all the fire fighting equipment monthly.

What the care home could do better:

We made no requirements at this inspection. One requirement we made at the last inspection was about the provider making a room available for the sleeping night staff, this was reliant on planning permission, which has not yet been agreed. We have therefore recommended that the provider continue to consider the provision of a room for sleeping night staff when the planning permission is completed.

The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use the service experience good quality outcomes. This inspection took place over one day and a total of six hours were spent in the home. To gather enough evidence to support our judgments for this inspection, we The Commission asked the service provider to complete an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). The AQAA is a self-assessment that focuses on how well outcomes are being met for people living in the home. It also gives us some numerical information about the service, and how they intend to maintain or improve outcomes for people using their service. We also looked at surveys returned to us by people living in the home and people with an interest such as relatives, social workers and GPs. We received 10 surveys, 5 from people living in the home, 2 from relatives, 2 from staff and 1 from a health care professional. Once we had received this information we carried out a visit to the home and spoke to people living there, staff and relatives. Whilst in the home we also looked at documents maintained for the day-to-day running of the service. These included care plans, staff recruitment, training and supervision. Also records relevant to the administration of medication, service records and health and safety. What the service does well: Tollington Lodge continues to provide a homely, caring and supportive environment. Staff are dedicated to meeting the needs of people living in the home in a personal, Person Centred way. The opinions of people in the home are valued, encouraging independence and taking into account the need to respect dignity and privacy. A very full and meaningful programme of activities is provided which people can take part in if they wish. The programme includes a choral group, poetry group, craft and geography groups as well as musical entertainment and quizzes.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 3 and 5. 6 does not apply Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents benefit from adequate written information, a chance to visit the home and a full assessment of their needs. This means they can make an informed decision before moving in and their needs are fully met. EVIDENCE: We the Commission looked at a copy of the homes Statement of Purpose and Service user guide. This was readily available in the home and provided immediately. We saw that it was well written and contained all the information a person would need to tell them about what care the home can and cannot provide. It also states clearly the fees and what they pay for with a list of extra charges clearly mentioned. We saw in a resident’s room a copy of the service user guide, people spoken to did not comment on the guide. The guide also stated that there would be regular Holy Communion for those who wished Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 to attend, however it also states that they can accommodate the religious or cultural needs of people with other beliefs or cultural backgrounds. We spoke to the manager about how they would assess a person who wished to move into the home. She said they would visit the person either at their home or in hospital. They would talk to them, a relative or advocate and staff at the hospital or a social worker. They would also look at existing care plans for the person. We then looked at the records held in the home for people who had not lived there very long. They all had completed assessments and community or hospital care plans. We spoke to the people living in the home, but they did not mention how the experience of moving into Tollington Lodge had been for them. People wanting to move into Tollington Lodge can visit and spend some time there to meet other residents and the staff who will be looking after them. This is often done by a relative or advocate on their behalf. If the manager and staff feel they can meet the needs of the person they will offer a trial period when both the person moving in and staff can decide whether the home is really the best placement for them. Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. 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 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People living in the home benefit from personal and specialist healthcare support that is provided in a person centred way respecting their privacy and dignity. They benefit from and are protected by the homes policies and procedures for the administration of medication, however unsigned handwritten entries do not show that staff are fully aware of the policies and procedures. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection a person centred approach recording the care provided has been introduced. We looked at the care plans for four people they all showed that the staff at Tollington Lodge understand the way to record the personal way a resident likes to be cared for. All the care plans seen reflected this approach with clear guidelines for staff about peoples likes and dislikes and the way in which they preferred to receive their care. Staff had written care plans that reflected the person’s personal preferences and the way Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 they wished to be cared for. Staff spoken to said they knew each individual, their preferences and when they preferred to be helped or left alone. We observed staff chatting and laughing with residents in an easy and relaxed way. People we spoke to said they felt staff ‘knew how they preferred to be looked after.’ One person said the staff were ‘always kind and attentive,’ and ‘they know what I want before I do sometimes.’ During the day we noted that residents felt very relaxed and at ease coming to the managers office for a chat or to make a request. All the care plans included appropriate risk assessments and showed signs of regular review. Care plan reviews also reflect the changes in people’s lives, which are also agreed with the resident or their relative People living in the home have access to health care specialists and care plans showed that the district nurse could be consulted when the home felt they needed some expert advise. Residents were helped to attend out patient appointments, the dentist and the chiropodist. Regular reviews are carried out with the GP looking at specific health needs and medication. The home has very clear policies and procedures for the receipt storage and administration of medication and staff receive training before they can give medication to people. We looked at the records kept by the home for medication. We found that they were up to date and showed clearly when staff had given medication to people. We saw that some hand written entries made on the medicine charts were not signed or witnessed by another person. This puts people at risk of receiving either the wrong medication or the wrong dose. We have recommended that two signatures need to be on handwritten medicine charts when staff write them up. Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People living in the home benefit from the development of meaningful activities which recognises their diverse needs, likes and dislikes enabling them to maintain some control over their lifestyle. They benefit from continued contact with family, friends and the community. A well-balanced menu means people benefit from a healthy and nutritional diet. EVIDENCE: We discussed the provision of activities in the home with the manager staff and some residents. We saw that there was a very clear record kept to show that people had plenty of opportunities to join in an activity. The manager explained that the staff ran groups that residents could join in or opt out of at will. The groups included, a choral group, poetry group, craft and geography groups. Residents had requested the poetry group continue as they enjoyed it. They have also been following a programme similar to the Cradle to Grave project carried out in prisons. This involves residents creating a collage of ‘what shaped their lives.’ Such as major events, both personal and national, careers and their youth and families. People spoken to said they had plenty to Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 do. In the afternoon we observed a well-attended quiz which one resident said they always looked forward to. We saw residents going out for walks with relatives or informing staff they were going out for a while. Several residents asked if they could go as a group to see the damage caused by the fire on the pier and the manager said they would arrange it. A residents meeting is held every two months in which people suggest a trip or activity they would like to take part in. One resident commented on the ‘Travelling Teddy’ a small teddy bear is taken by staff or a resident when they go on holiday and when they return the places they visited are discussed in the Geography Group, where people try out the language discuss the culture and sometimes try the food. People spoken to said they can attend the monthly Holy Communion or attend their preferred place of worship if they wished. The Statement of Purpose says that they will welcome any religious leaders that may wish to visit the home. People spoken to confirmed that their relatives and friends are made welcome in the home. During the inspection relatives were seen to come and go throughout the day. They commented on the friendly and welcoming approach of staff who would assist them to find the person they were visiting and make the visit a pleasant one. Residents are asked on a daily basis about their meal preference. This is then conveyed to the cook. If a person does not want either choice another option can be offered. There is a good range of hot and cold options offered at each meal. The menus continue to contain a variety of well-balanced meals that reflect the preferences of the people living in the home. People spoken to and the written surveys indicated that the meals were of a good standard. Staff in the home carried out a food survey; alterations were made following residents suggestions. A focus group meets once a month that includes residents to discuss the food provided and any preferences for menus. One day a week is ‘meet the cook day’ when all residents can comment on the meals in the home. One resident said ‘we can tell them what we like and don’t like and they listen.’ Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 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’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from and are protected by the complaints and safeguarding procedures in the home. Staff are fully aware of the procedures to follow to protect people from abuse. EVIDENCE: Tollington Lodge has a very clear complaints policy and procedure, which is easy to read. It shows a clear timeline and action to be taken if some one wishes to raise a concern or complaint. A copy is clearly displayed in the hall. The manager has also set aside a specific time when people know they can meet with her to discuss any concerns they have and not be interrupted by the day to day running of the home. People we spoke to said they knew who to approach and felt they could raise any issue with the manager if they so wished. The manager keeps a full record of all concerns, complaints and compliments they receive. We saw a copy of the North Somerset policy and procedure for Safeguarding Adults under No Secrets, which is available for all staff to read. Staff spoken to said they knew who to inform if they suspected abuse and they all knew Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 about the homes whistle-blowing policy. Staff records showed that they had all received appropriate training in Safeguarding Adults. Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 24 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People living in the home benefit from a comfortable, well-equipped and homely environment, which is well maintained and decorated with access to well maintained garden areas and local parks. People are protected by staff awareness of appropriate infection control guidelines. EVIDENCE: We carried out a tour of the home; we looked in people’s rooms with their consent. The home is well furnished in such a way that people living there can sit in small groups if they wish. The furnishings and lighting are domestic in style whilst providing adequate light to read by. The furniture and fittings are Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 of good standard and communal areas are pleasantly decorated. The facilities include a separate dining room, two lounge areas and gardens. A programme of re-decoration is being followed as and when rooms become available. People spoken to said that they liked their rooms and had bought in their own furniture and possessions which made them feel more at home. We sat talking to a resident in their room, it was comfortably furnished and brightly lit, they said they really liked the room and no pressure was put on them to sit in the communal areas if they did not wish to. The resident said that the member of staff that did the cleaning was very thorough and everything was dust free and clean. People living in the home also have access to outside areas. At the last inspection a requirement was made that when planning permission was agreed a room must be provided for the sleeping night staff. Planning permission has not yet been agreed so we have recommended that the provider continues to consider the provision of a room. The home shows a good standard of housekeeping and no offensive odours were apparent. The manager and staff showed a clear awareness of infection control policy and guidelines. Protective clothing was being used when appropriate and the manager can obtain guidance from outside agencies if required. Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from and are protected by the staffing levels and skill mix of staff in the home. The homes recruitment procedures and staff training further protect them from the possibility of abuse. EVIDENCE: We looked at the personnel files held by the home for some of their staff. We looked at the employment records for two recently employed members of staff. We also looked at the staffing rota and the training records for people working in the home. The staffing rota showed that there is always enough staff in the home with the right skill mix to support the diverse needs of the people living there. They also showed that staffing is flexible so extra staff could be bought in to cover extra busy times such as activities or trips out. People spoken to said there were always enough staff in the home and they never had to wait long if they rang their bell for help. The manager confirmed that staff are encouraged to attend the NVQ In Health and Social Care training. This has resulted in the home having 90 plus of their staff qualified in an NVQ 2 or 3 and other staff working towards the Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 qualification. Care staff were also attending training in Customer Awareness which will give them a clear understanding of the way to approach and communicate with relatives and people contacting the home. Staff surveys indicated that they were well supported with training. Staff personnel records showed that all mandatory training had been attended and dates for further updates were advertised in the office. Staff had also attended training that was considered relevant to their role in the home and the diverse needs of people living there. Staff said they felt well supported by the manager in attending any training they were interested in that would also benefit the home. Tollington Lodge has strict policies and procedures for the recruitment of new staff. The personnel files for two people who had recently been employed showed that the manager follows these guidelines as all the relevant checks such as references and a CRB (Criminal Bureau Records) check had been completed before the person started work. This protects people living in the home from possible harm or abuse. Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 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. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 36 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from living in a well run home with an appropriately qualified manager and supervised staff. They are protected from financial abuse through safe and stringent policies for managing resident’s money. Both people working and living in the home are protected by robust health and safety procedures. EVIDENCE: The registered manager is Mrs Christine Neuenschwanderand who is assisted by one deputy manager. She is an experienced manager who has completed the Registered Managers Award and training in managing supervision and is currently doing the NVQ2 in Team Leadership with her deputy manager. Tollington Lodge Care Home DS0000008068.V363952.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 People spoken to said that they felt able to approach the manager and deputy if they wanted to raise issues. Residents meetings continue to be held and the minutes we looked at showed that residents attend and discuss their views on the way the home is run and the facilities provided. An annual survey of residents’ views is carried out; when these are returned and put together a meeting is held to discuss any issues raised. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) returned to the CSCI was clear about the homes continued commitment to maintaining improvement and providing an environment that recognises the diverse needs of the people in their care. The manager confirmed that the home currently does not directly handle residents’ financial affairs. People either manage their own money or have a relative or power of attorney to act on their behalf. Staff personnel files showed that regular supervision is planned and carried out. Staff discuss with the manager their progress with training and their working practices. Any training and development needs are identified and plans put in place. Staff surveys indicated that they felt well supported and received adequate supervision. We looked at records relating to the servicing of equipment used in the home. All the records were up to date and available for inspection, these included the COSHH records, which are the guidelines for staff to follow if they spill, drink or are splashed by chemicals used in the home. The implementation of health and safety within the home was satisfactory. All residents have personal risk assessments. Generic risk assessments are in place and reviewed regularly including hot water checks. A review of the firelog showed all tests, training and drills were being carried out to the Avon and Somerset Fire Brigade guidelines.
