This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This fieldwork visit was unannounced and took place on 12th December 2006. All key standards were examined and the visit included looking at areas of the home such as bedrooms, communal and shared areas and the home’s kitchen and laundry as well as the gardens. Documents and records were examined and staff working practices were observed where this was possible without being intrusive. Residents, visitors and staff were spoken to in order to obtain their views of the service that the home provides. Visitors that spoke to the inspector were very positive about the care their relatives received. One resident commented that ‘nothing is too much trouble’. The manager, her deputy and the deputy area operations manager were present throughout the visit and other members of staff provided assistance and information when required. Other information included in this report is obtained from information that the commission has received since the last visit made to the home in January 2006, such as notices received about incidents that have occurred in the home. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The home does not rest on its laurels and continues to seek the opinions of the residents and their friends and relatives, to ensure the service that is provided is a good one.

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): 3 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home’s admission procedures included good assessments of the needs of potential residents before they moved into the home to ensure that the home could provide the care and support that individuals required. EVIDENCE: The home has written policies and procedures regarding the admission of new residents to the home, which indicate the importance of assessing the needs of any potential residents and the care and support they require before they move into the home. The manager said that potential residents are sent brochures and invited to visit the home, often relatives visit on behalf of someone in hospital and information and general details about the home are available on the company’s internet web site.

The inspector looked at four care plans and found that they each have an ‘index of needs’ which covers assessed needs such as activities of daily living, manual handling needs, nutrition and skincare assessments and plans for any wounds that need dressing. The care plans are reviewed regularly and the residents and their relatives are encouraged to be as involved as they wish with planning their care. The manager said that they are introducing a lifestyle
Abbotts Barton Nursing Home DS0000012204.V321718.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 diary for each resident which will contain information such as their likes and dislikes and which activities or hobbies they enjoy or wish to follow. The manager said that the care staff work in teams, care needs are planned and written up the day before and the information is then passed on at staff handover. Nursing and care staff spoken to were fully aware of the contents of the care plans that were sampled and the assistance that the residents concerned required. The home has many long-term staff and there is good continuity of care. The manager said that the residents are registered with a local doctors surgery, whose doctors visit the home weekly. A doctor in the home on the day of the visit commented that the staff were flexible in their care practices and there was a good liaison between the home and the surgery. Residents confirmed that they were able to see their doctor when they wished. Other visiting healthcare professionals include the local dentist, optician and a chiropodist. The home has written policies and procedures in place regarding the management and administration of medication in the home. The inspector saw that medicines were stored safely and appropriately in two locked medicine trolleys, as well as locked metal cabinets. A locked medical refrigerator was also used for medicines requiring special storage conditions. The temperature of the refrigerator was regularly checked to ensure that it was working effectively. Medicines were dispensed from their original containers and all of these were dated when they were opened/started. One of the registered nurses has overall responsibility for ordering the medication, which is done a month in advance and records kept in a ‘drug order file’. The nurses in the home administer the medication and the manager said that several have completed a distance-learning course in “safe handling of medication”. The medication administration sheets were seen and all drugs that had been administered had been signed for, with no gaps seen on the records. There were copies of the signatures of the nurses who dispensed medication readily available. Reference material, such as the British National Formulary, was available for the staff.

Many of the residents gather every day in the lounge at midday for a sherry before lunch. The home has recently introduced a scheme where a member of staff works for a day with residents on a one-to-one basis, this may be for a chat, a hand massage or a trip to the shops. Staff that undertake this work do not have to

Residents said they felt that they were able to make choices, such as what to wear each day or how to spend their time, and that staff were available to help if necessary. Some residents are still able to get out and about, on their electric scooters or by taking a taxi into town and some spend weekends away with their families. All residents spoken to said that the food provided by the home was good. Visiting relatives were also complimentary about the food. Residents said that they were advised of the choices available and orders for meals were taken in advance, that they had three meals a day and could have snack and drinks at other times. The residents are able to take their meals in their own rooms or in the dining room. Information about the needs of service users with specific dietary requirements was readily available in the kitchen e.g. diabetic, soft, chopped up, etc. Pureed meals were provided with all their constituents prepared separately ensuring that their appearance was attractive. Menus that were seen indicated that there were a wide variety of meals available. The chef told the inspector that the company plans the menus and purchases the food for the home and the likes and dislike of the residents are known and catered for. The company catering manager visits the home weekly and speaks to the staff and the residents. On the day of the visit there was a notice in the passenger lift to say that he was visiting the next day and at what time he would be available to meet the residents.

There is also a gardener for the gardens. The manager said that the home has a rolling programme of decoration and the corridors and dining rooms had been recently redecorated. All bedrooms are en-suite with a sink and lavatory and there are baths and shower rooms on each ‘wing’ of the home. The bathrooms provide a level access shower, a ‘assisted’ parker bath and an ordinary bath, all are tiled and look colourful and homely. The bedrooms seen by the inspector looked light and airy and had been personalised by the residents and their families, with small pieces of furniture, pictures and ornaments and bookcases. Residents on the ground floor had also installed their own bird tables or feeders outside their bedroom patio doors and windows. Residents commented “My room is very nice, it is warm and you get a good view of the gardens from here” “The room is very good, it is comfortable and the furniture is more than adequate. The laundry has sufficient washing machines and dryers and is accessed from the corridor so that dirty linen is not taken through the kitchen or food preparation areas.

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. The numbers and skill mix of staff ensure that needs of the residents are met. Arrangements ensure that the recruitment practice protects the residents and staff. Arrangements for induction and training ensure that the staff are able to meet the needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: The home employs nine registered nurses and thirty-one care assistants as well as ancillary staff, such as cleaners, laundry and kitchen staff. The care staff are divided into four teams and each day-duty team consists of 2 registered nurses and five care assistants, who change teams each four months. The ‘wing’ is a ten bedroom corridor. The manager and the deputy, who is also head of care, are supernumerary to the staffing numbers. The manager said that currently eight staff have National Vocational Qualifications in care and four are doing the course. When these staff have completed their course the home will not have reached the required national standard of 50 of care staff in the home with an NVQ 2 or above, but will have 38 of the staff trained. Several of the carers are trained nurses in their own countries and have been credited with an NVQ at level 3. The inspector and manager discussed the benefits of having these staff formally assessed by
Abbotts Barton Nursing Home DS0000012204.V321718.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 an NVQ assessor so that they can be awarded the appropriate NVQ. The manager said that English language classes are also available for the overseas staff, but most have worked at the home for several years and have a good command of the language. All staff spoken to confirmed that they had opportunities to obtain formal qualifications and also enhance their skills and knowledge by attending courses and training events in subjects appropriate to the type of work they were involved in, such as catheter care, continence awareness, and care of the dying as well as general nursing and personal care. They also said that they attended regular training sessions in core/statutory health and safety subjects. The home now has a robust recruit policy and the registered manager said that part of the recruitment procedure was to obtain a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) disclosure and the Protection of Vulnerable adults (POVA) check prior to employment, or to obtain a POVA first check and contact the commission for permission to start the member of staff’s induction. The inspector looked at the files of four new members of staff and found that all the relevant checks had been completed, such as obtaining references and CRB disclosures. Other staff files were checked and found to contain the correct information, such as proof of identity, and there was evidence that the nurses have had Nurses and Midwives Council checks on their professional qualifications before starting work in the home. Training records seen by the inspector indicate that staff have attended training this year in manual handling, fire safety, food hygiene, first aid and adult protection. The manager said that training planned for 2007 includes fire safety and infection control.

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 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Arrangements ensure that the home is well managed, but resident’s views are not formally sought. The residents’ financial interests are safeguarded. Arrangements are in place to ensure that the health, safety and welfare of the residents and staff is protected. EVIDENCE: The registered manager is a qualified nurse and has managed the service for many years and was able to demonstrate a sound knowledge of the needs of the residents. Since the last inspection the she has completed the registered manager’s award, which is a National Vocational Qualification in management
Abbotts Barton Nursing Home DS0000012204.V321718.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 at level 4. She maintains her continuing professional development by attending internal and external study days. The manager said that there are formal residents meetings every three months and residents know that there is an ‘open door’ style of management in the home and the manager is available daily to speak to the residents. Residents are encouraged to voice their opinions and to make choices about all aspects of their daily life. Comments by residents to the inspector include ‘it’s a lovely place, I’ve been here for years’ ‘they are lovely, never in a rush’ ‘I’ve been here since it opened and everything is wonderful’ ‘my wife was here, so I came too’ The manager said that the company audits different services and systems in the home, such as the call-bell response times, analysis of accident reports and food and housekeeping audits. The company employs an external firm to complete a formal customer satisfaction survey every two years and the results are made available to any interested parties. Regular meetings are held for different groups of staff in the home according to their roles, such as hotel services, trained nurses, senior health care assistants and care teams. The manager said that she attended the various meeting in order to relay information and discuss matters of general or common interest or concern to all staff. There are also regular meetings arranged for residents and relatives, which are also attended by senior managers, such as the catering manager. The manager said that the home did not take responsibility for the financial affairs of any of the residents. For security purposes the home can hold small amounts of personal monies on their behalf, sometimes it is given to the manager by relatives to hold for individual residents. A number of residents spoken to said that they received independent help and advice with these matters or managed them for themselves while others had been pleased to give the responsibility to a nominated relative or representative. The home had a range of written policies and procedures that informed staff working practice. They were regularly reviewed and updated as necessary. Records indicated that risk assessments have been completed for all working practices in the home and systems and equipment in the home have been tested and serviced at within the relevant timescales. This includes fire safety equipment, the boilers and central heating system, all lifts, hoists and slings,
Abbotts Barton Nursing Home DS0000012204.V321718.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 and the hot water system for legionella. Fire safety equipment had been regularly serviced and staff fire safety training was on-going to ensure that all staff attended. Weekly fire alarm test are being conducted and the results logged.
