What the care home does well

Abbottswood Lodge was warm, comfortably furnished and odour free and so gave the residents a pleasant environment to live in. Staff were seen to be around in the lounge, available to the residents throughout the day. This helped to keep the residents safe. Staff also took time to talk to the residents and clearly knew them well. The visitor spoken with the said that the staff were very nice.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The inspector was able to see records that they were not able to have access to at the last inspection. There had been a lot of staff training. The outside of the premises has been repainted and maintained. A greater variety of foods had been provided at teatime instead of just sandwiches and the way some meals looked was better.

What the care home could do better:

Abbottswood Lodge must keep the records about staff that the law requires them to, and show that they have done all the checks that they are supposed to. The home needs to have a bath with the right equipment so that it can be used by all residents.

Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was the second routine unannounced inspection of Abbotswood Lodge this year. The registered manager assisted with the inspection throughout. There were 12 residents living in the home and all of them were seen, and some chatted with during the day. A visiting relative and four staff were also spoken with. All core standards have been assessed over the two inspections, along with most other National Minimum Standards. Appreciation is expressed to the residents, visitor, staff and manager for their assistance during this inspection. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Abbottswood Lodge must keep the records about staff that the law requires them to, and show that they have done all the checks that they are supposed to.

Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2, 4, 5 Information was available about the home. It could provide better detail for interested parties. EVIDENCE: The service user guide had been improved and advice was provided to the registered manager on checking its contents against the national minimum standard and regulation. A visitor confirmed the manager’s advice that relatives normally visit Abbotswood Lodge for the resident prior to their admission. A contract was available on the resident file sampled. This did not contain all the information required, for example the breakdown of who was responsible for paying the fees or the resident’s room number. It was not signed either by the resident or their representative. Staff clearly knew the residents well. There needed to be additional staff training on the specific conditions associated with older people and those with dementia, for example diabetes, Parkinsons disease or continence management. The service user guide needs to be more accurate in identifying that the home does not currently provide an assisted bathing facility. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9, 10 Care plans provided good instruction for staff in the areas that were addressed. Improvements to the medication system reassured of better protection for residents. Observed care practice respected residents’ dignity. EVIDENCE: A care plan was available on all resident’s file sampled. There was a good standard of detail in the areas of need included. As advised at the last inspection, the care plan needed to identify all areas of resident care needs, for example, in relation to management of aggression, continence etc. Risk assessments remained unavailable on issues such as tissue viability and nutrition. This was the only aspect of Standard 8 considered on this occasion. The deputy manager and another senior carer had undertaking medication training recently which is positive, and the registered manager and another member of staff are booked to undertake this in the very near future. A protocol was in place for PRN (as required) medication. Some omissions continued to be noted in the medication administration recording (MAR) sheets. The manager agreed that, instead of handwriting their own, the pharmacist should have been contacted where pre-printed MAR sheets had not been provided. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 13, 15 Abbottswood Lodge supported residents to maintain relationships with family and friends. Residents were provided with a variety of well presented foods. EVIDENCE: The relative spoken with confirmed that they are always made welcome at the home and visit regularly. Records inspected confirmed that some residents also go home on regular basis to maintain relationships with family and friends. The relative spoken with said they had observed the food to always look good and this was seen on the day of the inspection. Liquidised foods were well presented. Staff sat down with the residents to assist with feeding, chatting and giving eye contact, which was positive. The recommendation of the last inspection to vary the teatime news had been positively taken up by the home. They could now consider extending this to changes at breakfast time on occasion. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 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 inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16, 17, 18 Clear procedures were in place for recording complaints. Additional training and review of policies, practices and procedures were required to ensure the best protection of residents and staff. EVIDENCE: The registered manager was able to demonstrate that an appropriate recording system for complaints was available. The registered manager confirmed that she had made opportunity for postal voting known to relatives, but that the residents at the home do not have the capacity to clearly state their wishes in this matter. She confirmed that all residents have an appropriate person to support them in decision-making. Evidence was available that some staff had recently attended training or protection of vulnerable adults and training for additional staff was planned in the very near future. The homes own policy on the protection of vulnerable adults must be reviewed and brought in line with current practice and the local multidisciplinary adult protection procedures. While it is an issue in the home, staff had not been provided with any training on positive responses or management of aggression. This is contrary to the homes own stated policy. Additionally the homes policy on restraint needed to provide clearer guidelines for staff and refer to working with the care plan. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 21, 26 Abbottswood Lodge generally presented as safe and comfortable environment for residents but again needed to improve in terms of equipment and attention to detail. EVIDENCE: The premises was warm and clean. Observation and discussion with the visitor demonstrated that there were no unpleasant odours in the home. The registered manager stated that new towels had been purchased and that window restrictors were fitted to all appropriate windows. The registered manager confirmed that works had been undertaken to the exterior of the premises but there had been no changes to the interior since the last inspection. Areas noted then included torn wallpaper. Advice was given on producing a maintenance plan for the home. The home continued not to have bathing facilities adequate to meet the needs of its residents and this must be addressed without further delay. The shower facility had been reinstalled and was usable. Many residents used a downstairs hip bath. The hydraulic bath chair had been out of order since prior to the last Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 inspection, when one resident had to be given bed baths because of the lack of facilities. There were outstanding issues in relation to the laundry and infection control noted in the last report. These continue to need to be addressed and will be considered again at the next inspection. It was noted positively that the home now had a contract and appropriate systems for disposing of clinical waste. Eight staff were currently undertaking infection control distance learning training and all remaining staff will undertake a one-day infection control training course with Southend Borough Council. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29, 30 Staffing levels were adequate to meet residents’ need. Staff recruitment procedures were poor and put residents at risk. Staff needed to be provided with additional training to protect both themselves and residents. EVIDENCE: The roster demonstrated that the agreed minimum staffing level of three staff all day and two awake staff at night were maintained. The roster did not indicate that one of the registered persons was covering the cleaning hours. The manager advised of the hope that arrangements can be made to restart the NVQ training programme in the very near future. Access was made available on this inspection to the staff recruitment files and two files were sampled. One showed that the registered person had not taken up references from recent residential care home employers and gaps in employment had not been evidenced as explored. The other had a P60 that showed an employer not recorded on the application form. Neither had a declaration of mental and physical health, or a photograph and one did not have evidence of identity. One file had no evidence of training certificates and the registered manager confirmed that there had been no induction programme. Neither file had evidence of a current Criminal Record Bureau check. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 The registered manager confirmed that Criminal Record Bureau checks had not been undertaken for any member of staff working at the home. Advice was provided an undertaking this immediately and on how to undertake a Povafirst check. The registered manager was made aware of the concern this lack of action caused in relation to the protection of the residents. An Immediate Action Requirement notice was issued requiring the registered manager/provider to undertake appropriate checks on all staff immediately. It was noted positively that there has been an increase in the training provided for staff since the last inspection this included the protection of vulnerable adults, infection control, and medication. Evidence needed to be available on all staff files of all basic mandatory training including fire, first aid and health and safety. The registered manager/provider confirmed they she is a qualified moving and handling trainer. It was most disappointing to note again that staff had not yet been provided with moving and handling training. This needs to addressed without delay. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38 The home presented as reasonably organised and managed. Some aspects of systems, policy and record keeping need to be improved to best safeguard residents. EVIDENCE: The registered manager said that she is progressing well on the NVQ level 4 in Care and Management course. She had also recently attended training on protection of vulnerable people, infection control and has planned training on medication. Questionnaires on the service were available that had been undertaken at the beginning of the year, completed by relatives on behalf of residents and also one from a social worker. The registered manager was recommended to share the outcomes and actions taken from this. Advice was also provided on implementing a practical approach to quality assurance in the home including issues such as premises, health and safety, training or policies and procedures. Abbottswood Lodge DS0000015491.V263952.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 One of the two staff files sampled recorded four supervision sessions in the past year. Advice was provided to the manager on raising this to six sessions per year. Advice was provided to the manager on updating several policies and procedures, including the missing person procedure. Photographs must be available of all residents. A current certificate of employers liability insurance was displayed. There was nothing to suggest that the home is not financially viable. Certificates were again not available in relation to the emergency lights, but the registered manager said this was awaited. A gas safety inspection certificate was not available. A risk assessment was again not available in relation to legionella. Checks of water temperatures did not include all outlets and were not done regularly. The manager was again advised that information can be obtained in the booklets “ Essential Information for Providers of Residential Accommodation” and” A Guide for Employers” on 01787 881165 or at www.hsebooks.co.uk Evidence of fire training for staff was seen to be available on many, but not all, files sampled. This must be the available for all staff.
