Also see our care home review for 8 Coriander Close for more information

This inspection was carried out on 6th July 2005.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

Residents often go out to do activities they enjoy doing. The home is well decorated. Resident`s bedrooms contain many personal possessions. Health professionals are involved in the care of residents to ensure that all their individual health needs are being met. Some staff know the residents well and are concerned for their health and welfare. Residents are treated as individuals. Separate meals are provided for residents according to their individual tastes.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Some care plans have been reviewed. These are detailed and contain much information for staff to be able to support individual residents. Risk assessments and moving and handling assessments have been reviewed. These are detailed and state how risks to resident`s safety are to be minimised. The amount of staff support in the evening has been reviewed so that more staff are available to support residents at mealtimes and for leisure activities. A lot of work has been done in the garden making it attractive for residents to look at and enjoy sitting in.

What the care home could do better:

A fire drill must take place at least every six months to make sure that all residents and staff are aware of the procedure to follow if there is a fire in the home. One resident`s en suite must be refurbished so it meets their individual needs. The carpets must be replaced in two of the resident`s bedrooms. Staff must receive all the training necessary to ensure they can meet all the resident`s needs appropriately. All vacant staff posts must be recruited to and a new manager must be appointed to manage the home. Medication cabinets must be provided in each resident`s bedroom so that staff do not have to go upstairs to collect the medication leaving residents alone downstairs. A Health Action Plan must be in place for each resident to ensure that each resident`s health needs are being met appropriately.

The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18, 19, 20 Residents receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Residents physical and emotional health needs are met. Arrangements for the management of the medication are not sufficient to protect residents from harm. EVIDENCE: On arrival home from the day centres staff ensured that each resident had a drink. Where they were able to residents were encouraged to hold the cup to drink. Resident’s records sampled included detailed manual handling risk assessments that had recently been reviewed and updated where necessary. Hair and skin products appropriate to individual residents are used. Residents are weighed regularly and records of individuals weight are kept. Resident’s records indicated that pressure sore assessments are regularly reviewed. Appropriate action is taken to ensure that the risk of residents developing pressure sores is minimised. Pressure relieving mattresses are provided where appropriate. Other professionals stated that, “ all the residents are treated well and are well cared for.” Resident’s records included details of resident’s appointments with the dentist and optician. Resident’s records indicated that where appropriate health professionals are involved in residents care. These include the epilepsy nurse, psychiatrist, speech and language therapist and dietician.

Staff followed these during the evening meal. The speech and language therapist and dietician work closely with the home in advising staff how to manage resident’s dysphagia. They also provide training for staff in administering food to residents through a PEG tube.

Staff said that they felt supported by the multi-disciplinary team in meeting the health needs of residents. Health Action Plans in line with ’Valuing People’ are not available for each resident. Staff said they are receiving epilepsy training from the epilepsy nurse in the week after this inspection. Where residents are prescribed rescue medication for epilepsy protocols are in place agreeing when the medication should be administered and these are signed and dated by all the professionals involved. Medication is stored in a locked cabinet in the office upstairs. This was full of medication and no space was available for any further medication that may be prescribed for residents. No separate storage is provided for Controlled Drugs (CD’s). Two staff check medication prior to administration. At the time the teatime medication was administered there were only two staff in the home. Residents were left alone downstairs whilst the medication was being prepared. Staff said this happens regularly. Given the complex health needs of the residents this poses a risk to their health and welfare. Providing medication cabinets in each resident’s bedroom would eliminate this risk. Some residents have dysphagia and this poses a risk when they take medication. Records sampled included advice and letter from a pharmacist as to how they should take their medication and minimise the risks of choking. Medication administration records sampled cross-referenced with the amount of medication in boxes and bottles indicating that medication had been given as prescribed. Protocols were in place for PRN (as required) medication stating when the medication should be given and these were signed by the GP. Copies of prescriptions are kept.

At night there is one waking night staff and one member of staff sleeping in on the premises. Other professionals commented, “there are too many agency/part-time staff, which means a lack of consistency.” Three staff records were looked at. These included completed application forms, two written references, proof of identity and a photograph. Only one of the three records sampled included evidence that the person is physically and mentally fit to undertake the job they are employed to do. Criminal Records Bureau checks are undertaken for all staff.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 37, 42 The management arrangements are not adequate to ensure that residents benefit from a well run home. The arrangements for promoting and protecting the health, safety and welfare of residents are not adequate. EVIDENCE: The manager left the home in the week prior to this inspection. The Trident manager said that an advertisement has gone into the press to replace the manager. Relatives commented that the time taken previously (over 12 months) to recruit a new manager was too long and they hoped that this appointment would be made sooner. Fire records indicated that staff test the fire equipment regularly to make sure it is working and an engineer regularly services the equipment. A fire drill has not taken place since September 2004. The gas safety record indicated that the gas equipment had been tested in May 2005 and was in a satisfactory condition.
