What the care home does well

The home continues to be very good at helping residents feel part of the local community. Local facilities including shops, pubs and places of worship are all within walking distance and residents are encouraged to use all the town facilities. In addition staff always make sure that local events are shared with the residents so that they can always be involved with the local community in Bedfordshire. The home keep a folder with information on local events and facilities, which is kept in the games room at the home. Residents therefore have this information readily available, helping them to choose what they wish to participate in. Staff also have a very good knowledge of the residents that live at the home so residents feel safe in the knowledge that the people who care for them are well trained and dedicated. The standard of cleanliness at this home is very good, all areas are nicely decorated and care and attention is paid to providing the residents with a homely environment to live in. One resident said about their own individual room " l love it, l have everything l need in here, l even have my own couch". They are also very good at making sure the home is a safe place for the residents to live in. Fire safety checks are carried out regularly and a specialist contractor comes and checks that the fire equipment is in good working order. The kitchen in the home is also very clean and hygiene and safety checks are carried out, the temperature of water is also tested to make sure that it is safe for the residents.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home have also improved in the way they write about the care support needed by the residents. They now make sure that if a resident is receiving support that this is written down in what is known as the residents care plan. This means all staff know how they should be supporting the resident to make sure their assessed needs are met.

What the care home could do better:

The home must always follow its own procedures; these are in place to ensure that things are done properly for the residents and staff. However there had been an incident in the home and a member of staff had been hurt. The home had not held a review as it stated in their own procedure. In not following this, they had not discussed what should be done next to prevent an incident like this happening again, this places residents and staff at risk.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The standard of pre admission assessment at this home is good so management have sufficient information to ascertain if they are able to meet the needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: Information seen within the care records of residents showed that a system was in place to assess the needs of prospective residents. The home was noted to use a standardised document to record their assessment of needs. In addition information from the referring agency was also seen providing a comprehensive background concerning the resident’s life. Residents are invited to visit before deciding to move in to the home, meals can be taken and there is a possibility of an overnight stay. One resident confirmed that they had been given a choice as to whether they moved into the home. They also recollected being asked to give their views about their own needs and how they felt staff could support them in meeting their needs. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 & 9 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The standard of care planning at this home is good, providing staff with clear guidance on how they should support the residents to meet their individual needs. EVIDENCE: The home maintains care plans on each of the residents; each care plan is directly linked to the assessments undertaken so that there is a plan in place, for each assessed need. Care plans set out any rehabilitation plans or communication development for the resident, and were clear in any restrictions on choice or freedom in place following a detailed risk assessment. Residents were aware of the care plans and spoke of their involvement supported by staff in their development. The staff had reviewed the care detailed within the plans examined, entries to show that this had been undertaken were seen. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Residents through discussion confirmed that they liked living in the home and felt their privacy was respected. Management had sought the services of an advocacy group for those residents who did not have any other representation. Documents that described varying activities undertaken by residents were seen. The activity had been described and it gave clear guidance on the required support needed for each resident, so that any risk associated with that activity would be reduced. Risk assessments were also in place on individual files relating to fire safety associated with smoking, and the physical support required by the resident if it was needed. Observation of the physical and emotional support offered to one resident during the inspection so that the risk to that resident was reduced was noted to be carried out appropriately, this support had been described in the residents records. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Improvements are required to ensure resident’s rights and responsibilities are met by following the homes policies and procedures at all times. EVIDENCE: A choice of meals was available; menus seen examined reflected a varied diet and staff informed the inspector that residents were involved in setting the menus in the home and on occasions assisted in the homes ‘ shopping’. The kitchen was seen to be clean and tidy and the documentation regarding kitchen cleaning, food labelling and temperature control were all noted to be satisfactory. Residents through discussion and through feedback from returned comment cards confirmed that they were satisfied with the food at the home. One resident spoke of the contact with their family, they were visited by their family members at the home on a regular basis or they could visit them at 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 their own home. Documents seen within the individual care record of this resident gave clear guidance to staff in how they should support the resident in maintaining these close relationships with the family members. Management advised that some resident’s were engaged in paid employment at this time. Residents through discussion spoke of their attendance at a local centre and described their programme of learning. Information examined supported this as records were maintained to show that one resident for example had received help with financial management. Entries made within the care records described the social and leisure activities the resident’s had received. Records viewed on the day of inspection indicated that activities that had been provided for example were shopping trips, walks and going out for a pub meal/drink. One resident who was able to access local facilities independently did so several times each week, they informed the inspector that they liked to go to the local cinema and held a season ticket for this. The care records seen also identified very different individual interests of the residents and they were specific in the identification of the residents preferred leisure interests, regular contact with family members and visits to their homes were also included. Residents spoke of their favourite things that they liked to do and these included for one resident an interest in music; which they had access to in their rooms with audio equipment in place. In addition a games room was seen containing for example a dartboard, computer and audio equipment. The rights and responsibilities of residents were written within several documents, including the policies in the home. However following an incident where a resident had physically injured a staff member, it was noted that staff had not followed the homes own policy. The policy stated that a review must be undertaken; staff and records confirmed that this had not been undertaken. The incident report showed that the staff member had received several injuries. A requirement has been made relating to this. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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 & 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The way in which the medication at the home is managed continues to be satisfactory in promoting good health for the residents. EVIDENCE: Documents within the individual care records of residents demonstrate that healthcare for residents is supported and thoroughly overviewed with residents being enabled to access all relevant services. The staff support residents to receive the full spectrum of healthcare facilities and are conscientious in establishing liaison with all relevant professional bodies that may be able to advise and enhance residents physical health. Health screening is supported and there was evidence that residents are offered informed choice and enabled to refuse screening if they so wish. Although from the information available the health needs of the residents seems to be met the home still needs to seek initiating a Health Action Plan for all residents, with the appropriate healthcare professionals in accordance with the guidance from the Valuing People White paper 2001. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The home had a medication policy. On inspection the storage and handling of medication were noted to be carried out appropriately, and the home utilised a monitored dosage system for the administration of medication. Training records submitted by the home showed staff responsible for the administration of medicines had received training in this area. Residents and staff said that times for getting up or going to bed were led by the residents, restrictions that were in place for example to rise at a certain time to attend another service during the day were documented in the care records seen on this inspection, and the reasons for these restrictions were made clear. It was observed that only once permission from a resident had been given, did staff enter service resident’s individual rooms. Also through discussion with residents they confirmed that they choose their own clothes and hairstyle. Guidance and support regarding personal hygiene and the level offered by staff was reflected in the care plans examined on this inspection. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23.

The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Management at this home has a good understanding of the local protection of vulnerable adults protocols so residents are protected by the protection and support of a multi disciplinary approach. EVIDENCE: As assessed at the previous inspection the home continued to have a very clear complaints procedure, which detailed how a resident could complain, to whom and how long they would wait before they received a response. Staff when questioned were able to accurately describe the actions that they should take when receiving a complaint as detailed within the homes own policy. Residents confirmed that they were aware of their right to complain and had been made aware of the homes policy, all written feedback sent to the Commission for Social Care Inspection through returned comment cards indicated this. Staff training records confirmed that staff had received training in protecting vulnerable adults. In addition the homes policy for the protection of vulnerable adults contained all required information, for example the types of abuse including physical and financial. The management at the home had recently made a referral under this scheme concerning a resident at the home. The management had acted swiftly following receipt of information, this related to an alleged incident outside of the home. Their actions followed the local 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 protocols for the protection of vulnerable adults, thus securing action and support from a multi disciplinary approach. 22 De Parys Avenue DS0000061363.V326619.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

There is a small amount of outdoor space available to the residents and this is well kept. Up to six residents can share a lounge and dining room alongside a games room and snug room. Some areas had been redecorated since the homes last inspection. One resident showed the inspector their individual room. This contained numerous items that helped in creating a homely and personal space for the resident. The resident indicated that they were happy with their room, which contained photographs, pictures, television, music equipment and ornaments.
