What the care home does well

The Home provides comfortable, homely accommodation for the clients. The Home is well managed and the views of the clients are sought about a range of issues. The care plans provide a lot of information about the clients needs Staff receive appropriate training to carry out their roles effectively

What has improved since the last inspection?

The care plans are in the process of being reviewed and put into a new format which should make it easier for staff to access. A training manager has been employed by the organisation and so training is more effective and provided in a timely way to staff

What the care home could do better:

There are some areas of the kitchen in need of minor maintenance. The staffing at weekends/bank holidays needs to be increased to enable clients to have a choice about how they spend their time and for them to be given increased opportunities for leisure activities. Some of the procedures need to be reviewed and updated to ensure that they provide accurate information for staff. A fire risk assessment needs to be carried out to ensure that any necessary precautions are being taken and so that all staff are clear about possible risk areas.

The Home is located approximately five miles outside the city of Norwich. It is situated in a quiet residential area not far from the main road providing access to the city. There is access to local facilities including shops and pubs. The Home has a garden at the rear and parking to the front of the Home. Each of the bedrooms is single and there is a shared kitchen, bathroom and lounge/dining room. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This report contains information about the Home that has been gathered since the last Inspection and includes an unannounced visit to the Home on the 16th January 2007 between 3.45 and 6pm. During the visit the Inspector was shown around the communal areas of the Home, spoke to clients and a member of staff, looked at some records and observed medication administration. The report also contains information gathered during a meeting on the 17th January 2007 with the Manager where management issues were discussed and a selection of records seen. The Manager had not returned the Pre Inspection Questionnaire and so it was not possible for the Commission to seek the views of health/social care professionals involved with the clients. No completed comment cards were received from relatives. The fees for the Home are individually assessed for each client, depending on their needs. Currently the fees range from £961.00 and £1,054.00 per week. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The care plans are in the process of being reviewed and put into a new format which should make it easier for staff to access. A training manager has been employed by the organisation and so training is more effective and provided in a timely way to staff 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Documents provide detailed information about the Home but there is a need for some additions to ensure that they meet regulations The organisation has appropriate assessment procedures which would be put in place to ensure that the Home could meet any prospective clients needs EVIDENCE: The Home has a Statement of Purpose which provides detailed information about the Home. There are some minor additions which need to be made for this document to meet the regulations. See requirements. Clients are provided with a Statement of Terms and Conditions (contract) but these need to be personalised with details of individual fees and it is recommended that these are available in alternative formats so that clients are able to understand them more easily. See requirements and recommendations. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 No new admissions have been made to the Home recently. The Home has appropriate admission procedures which includes a thorough assessment and this has been seen to work in practice within other Homes owned by the same organisation. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 9 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The clients know what is in their care plans and have access to them. These documents provide guidance to the staff about how to meet the clients needs. Risks are recognised and assessed with written guidance available about how to protect clients. The clients are supported to make their own decisions as far as is possible. EVIDENCE: One of the care plans was looked at in detail. The organisation is currently in the process of changing to an alternative format for care plans which aim to be more concise and make it easier for staff to find information. It also aims to ensure that the clients are more involved in the process. This change has 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 started to be implemented at this Home with the result that some of the documentation has been updated to the new formats and some remains on the older formats. The care plans contain detailed information about how to meet the clients needs and also detailed risk assessments. The Manager is aware of the need to ensure that information is detailed enough for staff to provide a good standard of care and that information is not lost in the process of becoming more concise. The member of staff who spoke to the Inspector was aware of the care plans and of the plans in place to meet the clients needs. The clients are aware of the content of the care plans and are aware that they are able to have access to these. Staff carry out monthly reviews of the care plans jointly with the client. The care plans contain information about the clients personal preferences and choices in a range of situations. One of the clients told the Inspector that the staff always “give choices in lots of things.” Staff were heard to offer choices and discuss situations with the clients during the visit to the Home. The Responsible Individual for the organisation is the appointee for the clients financial affairs. The Manager is responsible for overseeing the system on a day to day basis whilst all staff are responsible for ensuring accurate records and receipts are kept. The records of expenditure were checked against the receipts and cash held in the Home for one of the clients and were found to be correct. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Clients are involved in a range of activities when at day services but due to the staffing levels are unable to have much choice about what they do at weekends. Clients enjoy their meals and involved in the planning and shopping for these The clients rights are respected. EVIDENCE: The clients spend their time during the week attending day services, either those owned and managed by the organisation or those owned by the local authority. They all take part in a range of activities during their time at day 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 services. One of the clients is supported to take part in a regular activity one evening a week. The Home has a car which is for the sole use of the clients at this Home. However, there is only ever one member of staff on duty during the evenings and at weekends which limits the activities that the clients can take part in. The clients have differing interests and one of the clients prefers not to go out much at all. This makes it impossible for clients to take part in activities that they may enjoy on a regular basis at weekends. The records show that the clients were supported to take part in parties etc around the Christmas period. It is recommended that additional staff are on duty at weekends so that the clients are able to access community facilities and to take part in activities of their choosing. The rights of the clients are respected. Staff knock on bedroom doors prior to entering and respect the choice of clients to spend time alone in their rooms if they wish to. The member of staff on duty at the time of the visit to the Home involved the clients in what she was doing and communication between her and the clients was relaxed and informal. No comment cards were received from relatives and so it is not possible to include their views in this report. The care plans contain information about the arrangements in place for clients to maintain contact with friends and relatives. The clients said that they enjoy their meals. One of the clients is involved with the weekly shopping and all clients are involved in the process of planning menus. Clients set the dinner table and dried up the dishes during the visit to the Home. One of the clients follows a restricted diet and the staff understand this and it is taken into account during menu planning and cooking. The clients do not have free access to food and hot drinks due to specific individual needs but are able to ask staff for snacks/drinks at any time. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.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 good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The personal and healthcare needs of the clients are met Medication is managed effectively but there is a need to update the medication procedure so that it provides clearer guidance to staff. EVIDENCE: The care plans contain details about the health and personal care needs of the clients. As previously stated in this report the care plans are in the process of being reviewed and this information has not yet all been transferred to the new formats. Clients have regular appointments with dentists and opticians as well as with other healthcare professionals as required. As the pre-inspection questionnaire was not returned it was not possible to gather the views of the health and social care professionals involved with the clients. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 The clients require limited support with personal care and are encouraged to be as independent as possible in this area. There is always a female member of staff on duty due to the needs of the female client. The medication system was inspected. Medication is stored appropriately and records are kept of medication received at the Home, administered and any returned to the pharmacy. There is written guidance available for any PRN medication that is prescribed. It is required that the medication procedure is reviewed to ensure that it is accurate as currently it states that two staff are involved in the administration of medication. Staff receive training from the organisations training department prior to being able to administer medication alone. The Manager said that they are told that agency staff have received medication training but that they do not have the details of this. As agency staff work alone at the Home it is recommended that the Manager has details of the format and content of the training that they have received. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The clients are given opportunities to raise any concerns that they may have. Staff receive training about protecting the clients from abuse but there is a need for the procedure to be updated so that it provides clear guidance in the event of an allegation of abuse being made. EVIDENCE: The Home has a complaints procedure which is available to clients, relatives and other stakeholders. The Commission has not received any complaints about this service. The views of the clients are sought by staff on a daily basis about a range of everyday issues and staff meet with them individually to review their care plan on a monthly basis. These processes provide opportunities for clients to raise any concerns that they may have. The Home has a book in which comments and suggestions can be recorded along with any action taken to meet them. The staff receive training with regard to the protection of vulnerable adults within their induction to the organisation. As previously mentioned in this report it is recommended that the Manager knows what the format and content of training that agency staff have about this issue. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 The Home has a copy of the old version of the organisations Protection of Vulnerable Adults (now known as Safeguarding Adults) policy/procedure as well as a copy of the Norfolk Adult Protection protocol. It is required that the Homes Safeguarding Adults procedure is updated so as to provide accurate information for staff. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The Home provides comfortable and homely accommodation for the clients but would benefit from some updating. EVIDENCE: The communal areas of the Home were seen during the visit to the Home and one of the clients showed the Inspector their bedroom. Clients are encouraged to personalise their rooms and each has a hand basin. None of the bedrooms are en-suite. The Home has a shared bathroom, kitchen and lounge/dining room. There is also a second toilet, additional rooms from the kitchen for food and laundry storage and a small office area. There is a small garden to the rear and side of the Home and a shingle drive to the front for parking. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The lounge/dining area provides comfortable accommodation for the clients but the staff use a bed settee in the lounge for sleep ins which reduces the privacy for both clients and staff. It is recommended that the bathroom and kitchen are upgraded as both would benefit from redecoration and refurbishment. It is required that the broken kitchen cupboards are mended/replaced and that the electrical sockets which are cracked or surrounded by cracked tiles are replaced. It is also required that the oven door is mended. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 34 and 35 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The staff receive relevant induction and training to carry out their roles. The Home is still using agency staff on a regular basis although these are usually staff who know the clients as they are working at the Home on a regular basis. Staffing levels are adequate to meet the basic needs of the clients but there are limited opportunities for clients to access leisure activities at weekends/bank holidays. The Home follows appropriate recruitment procedures but are some minor omission within the records required to be kept about staff. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 EVIDENCE: As previously mentioned in the report there is always one member of staff on duty at a time. There are currently vacancies within the team but interviews take place next week for the Team Leader position and a new member of staff is undertaking their induction to work at the Home. Clients said that they know the agency staff who work at the Home as they regularly work there. According to records provided by the Training Manager all of the staff who work at the Home, apart from the new member of staff, have completed training with regard to First Aid, Food Hygiene and Protection of Vulnerable Adults. The Home also meets the standard of 50 of staff having completed NVQ Level 2. The member of staff on duty at the time of the visit communicated well with the clients. There was lots of conversation and interaction between the clients and the staff taking place. There was a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in the Home. The Manager said that although team meetings do not take place on a regular basis there is one booked for the following week. As the staff team is so small they see each other on a fairly regular basis and use a communication book to try to ensure that all staff are kept informed of any issues affecting the clients or the running of the Home. As previously mentioned in this report, it is recommended that there is additional staffing at weekends/bank holidays. Currently there are enough staff to meet the basic needs of the clients but they have little choice about how they spend their leisure time at weekends/bank holidays and have reduced opportunities for accessing community facilities at these times. There are some minor omissions of information required to be kept by regulation within the recruitment files. It is required that the information listed in Schedule Two is kept for all members of staff. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 38, 39 and 42 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The Manager provides good support to the clients and the staff team The ways in which the quality of the service is monitored and the results of this need to be brought together into an annual quality assurance report The health and safety needs of the clients and staff are considered with steps taken to reduce risks. However, a fire risk assessment needs to be carried out. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 EVIDENCE: The Manager has managed this Home and two others within the organisation for several years. She has almost completed the Registered Managers Award and has attended other, mandatory, training. The clients said that they see the Manager regularly and that she spends time with them. Staff said that the Manager is supportive and always available if they want to speak to her. The team leaders post is currently vacant with interviews for this post taking place shortly. The team leader will then carry out the day to day running of the Home under the direct supervision of the Manager. The Managers of the organisation take part in an on call system so that staff are able to speak to a manager at any time, 24 hours a day. The views of the clients are sought on a daily basis about a range of issues and the care plans are reviewed on a monthly basis with the involvement of the clients. The organisation has recently started to send questionnaires to relatives and health/social care professionals to seek their views about the service provided. The different quality assurance strands now need to be brought together into an annual quality assurance report and a copy sent to the Commission. A requirement is made about this. The organisation is not carrying out monthly visits to the Home as per Regulation 26 and a requirement is made about this. The Home has smoke detectors and emergency lighting and these are checked on a regular basis with records kept. Staff have received fire safety training. A requirement is made for a fire risk assessment to be carried out. 2 Lloyd Road DS0000068110.V327632.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 SCORING OF OUTCOMES This page summarises the assessment of the extent to which the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Adults 18-65 have been met and uses the following scale.
