Inspection on 02/11/06 for Alexandra House

Also see our care home review for Alexandra House for more information

This inspection was carried out on 2nd November 2006.

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. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done. The inspector also made 13 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

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

All of the service users continue to speak highly of the home and the care that they receive. They are pleased with the amount of autonomy they have, and the support they are given by the staff to maintain this autonomy.

What has improved since the last inspection?

It was noticeable on entry into the home that the hallway and stairs carpet had been replaced, which immediately made the home lighter, more welcoming and homely. Service users are also able to benefit from a refurbished bathroom.

What the care home could do better:

Clearly with 11 new requirements there are areas in the home where improvement is needed. The new requirements relate to record keeping (risk assessments, staff recruitment, complaints and quality assurance), fire safety, staff training and fixtures/fittings. With the exception of the need to replace the three-piece suite and staff training, the requirements are very easy to meet and the expectation is that the manager will take prompt action to resolve them.

It provides for a family type dwelling for its five service users who have a past or present mental illness. Each service user has their own bedroom, all of which are of an acceptable standard of décor and furnishing. The home is situated within easy reach of Croydon town centre, and near to bus routes and local amenities. The stated aim of the home is to provide a safe and suitable environment that is friendly and homely, and to base its service on a service users right to respect, dignity, independence and flexibility for choice rights and fulfilment. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was carried out over 5 hours and consisted of examination of documentation, a tour of the communal areas of the home, and discussion with all of the service users, the manager and one of the staff. All of the aforementioned are thanked for their assistance. The previous key inspection, carried out in September 2005, had resulted in 9 new requirements being made. It was also identified that there were two requirements that still remained outstanding from previous visits. A follow up visit in January 2006 found that almost half of these requirements had been met. Those not met related to medication administration, staff training and the refurbishment of the premises. This visit revealed that action had been taken with regard to the medication charts, and the refurbishment of the residents’ bathroom and the staff toilet. Staff training remains an ongoing issue, but some improvement has been made, while refurbishment of the kitchen is due to take place this month. This visit has resulted in 11 new requirements and 1 recommendation being made. The vast majority of these relate to record keeping and as such should not be difficult to achieve. Evidence to support the comments below was gathered from a range of sources – the service users themselves, members of staff and inspection records. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? It was noticeable on entry into the home that the hallway and stairs carpet had been replaced, which immediately made the home lighter, more welcoming and homely. Service users are also able to benefit from a refurbished bathroom.

Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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): 3 (it was not possible to assess Standard 2 as there have been no new admissions since the last inspection) Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. While it had been demonstrated that the home has the capacity to meet the needs of service users who are in the younger adult category, it must now indicate that it has the ability to also meet the needs of one of its residents who now falls into the older person category. EVIDENCE: On examination of the service user files it was noted that one of the residents has recently celebrated their 65th birthday. This means that they now fall into the older person category and, as such, fall outside the registration status of this home. The manager was advised that she must contact the Commission and apply for a variation to the home’s registration. In so doing she must demonstrate that the home can continue to meet the needs of the service user in question. This application must be supported by the Placing Authority. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.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. 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. It was felt that the service user plans were satisfactory, that service users were enabled to make decisions about their lives and that they were supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. EVIDENCE: All of the service user plans were examined. Each one was relevant to the individual and, where appropriate, was supported by CPA documentation. The plans were reviewed six-monthly and this was recorded on a re-assessment form and/or a care plan review form. The files showed evidence of good liaison between the home and the community mental health teams. The Inspector was pleased to be able to spend half of the inspection sitting with the service users and discussing with them their opinion of the home and the service provided. They were clear that they felt involved in the planning of Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 their care, that they were enabled to make decisions about their lives, and that where necessary, staff assisted them in the decision making process. They were similarly positive about the action taken by staff to minimize identified risks and hazards, and while they might not always be in agreement with the proposed action, appreciated the need for some safety measures. The manager must ensure, however, that the risk assessments are reviewed at regular intervals and updated where necessary. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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, 15, 16 and 17 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff encourage residents to participate in appropriate activities, to integrate into the local community, to maintain family links and friendships where appropriate, to participate in the day-to day decision making in the home and to help prepare, plan and serve meals. This means that service users are enabled to live as ordinary and meaningful lives as possible. EVIDENCE: Two of the current service users attend day centres while another works part time in a charity shop. One attends regular art/painting classes. All residents are encouraged to participate in activities, with staff assistance where needed. Monthly keyworker sessions are held with each service user and these are recorded. There is also a general residents meeting every 6 months. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Four of the five residents are able to go out into the community independently, and do so on a regular basis. The fifth resident needs much encouragement to leave the house, but on rare occasions, with staff support, will do so. Staff assist residents to familiarise themselves with the local area, so that they become competent and safe to use local transport, and to enjoy community based facilities. Some of the service users have family contact, and go out to visit them regularly. Staff encourage the residents to bring family and friends to the house to visit. There are no restrictions in place for any of the current service users. There is only one house rule – which relates to the ban on smoking in bedrooms. Almost all of the residents do smoke, but all accept this house rule and will only smoke in the dining room or the rear garden. The daily routines are very much set around what each service user wishes or has planned to do that day. Individual choice and freedom of movement is greatly encouraged. While the manager does ensure that a menu is on display, frequently the advertised meal will be changed because the service users wish it. They are at liberty to choose something different to the menu choices, and encouraged to assist in its preparation. A record of food provided is being maintained to a satisfactory standard. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.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 and 20 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. From discussion with the service users and observation of the interaction between residents and staff it was apparent that the service users received support that was flexible, consistent and reliable. This means that their preferences are being taken into account and their physical and emotional needs are being met as much as is possible. EVIDENCE: Each of the service users receive as much support with personal care as they require. Due to the ability of most of the residents, this support will often only consist of guidance regarding personal hygiene and dress. All of the residents are registered with local GP’s. The staff team enjoy a good relationship with the local mental health professionals such as the psychiatrists and CPN’s. Staff will accompany a resident to health appointments if the resident wishes it. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The medication administration records were examined and found to be in order. The previous requirement regarding the medication records has been met. None of the current residents are able to administer their own medication at present. Should they be able then this would be encouraged. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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 adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. From examination of the complaints records it was felt that the recording was incomplete. This means that it is possible that issues raised by service users and/or their families may be overlooked or not adequately dealt with. The home has appropriate information for staff regarding the protection of vulnerable adults from abuse. It was felt, therefore, that service users were as protected as possible from abuse, neglect and self-harm. EVIDENCE: The home maintains a record of all complaints made – in fact two records were found and it would be helpful if just one log were to be maintained. The records showed that two complaints had been made since the last inspection visit. Unfortunately staff had not entered into the log the action taken with regard to each of these matters, or the outcome. It was also noted that while the home had notified the Commission of a separate complaint, it had not been entered into the log. Even if a complaint is ultimately investigated under different procedures (such as adult protection), there should still be an initial entry into the home’s complaints log, with a comment indicating how the matter is being processed. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 At the last inspection the home was unable to produce an adult protection procedure. On this visit, however, the appropriate policies and procedures were in place and were supplemented by the Local Authority multi-agency procedure and the guidance produced by the Department of Health with regard to POVA referrals. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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. From a tour of the communal areas of the home it was evident that the home was hygienic, clean and provided a homely, comfortable and safe environment for the service users. EVIDENCE: It was pleasing to note that some refurbishment of the communal areas had taken place since the last inspection visit. The hallway and stair carpets have been replaced, creating a much lighter, welcoming atmosphere. The residents’ bathroom had been nicely refurbished while the refurbishment of the kitchen is scheduled for later this month (November). The staff toilet was in the process of being re-decorated. A maintenance book is kept in the home however it was difficult to determine if problems were attended to promptly as not all entries had been signed off. It would be helpful, therefore, if staff could enter into the record the date that each problem was resolved. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Although none of the service users’ bedrooms were inspected (as they did not wish it), they all commented that they were satisfied with their room. Only one new requirement has been made with regard to these Standards and this relates to the need for the three-piece suite to be replaced. It is now well worn and it is possible to feel the springs when sitting on it! Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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): 34 and 35 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Due to some gaps in recruitment documentation it was not felt that service users were as adequately protected and supported by the home’s recruitment policy as they should be. While some progress has been made it was still not felt that the training programme for staff was sufficient to ensure that they received adequate training so as to enable them to fulfil the aims of the home and meet the changing needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: Just one new member of staff had been recruited since the last inspection visit. While it is acknowledged that they have since left employment in the home, the manager must nevertheless ensure that all recruitment documentation is complete before new staff start work. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The file of the aforementioned carer was incomplete as it did not contain a full employment history, with an explanation of any gaps, and did not explain why the individual had left previous employment working with vulnerable people. The manager was also advised that where a home wished to start a new carer without waiting for the full CRB to be returned, then they must seek and obtain the agreement of the Commission first. Some staff training has taken place during the last 12 months, including fire safety, health and safety, food hygiene, medication and mental health issues. This is promising however not all of the staff were enabled to attend all of the courses. The manager has identified where training is still needed, and submitted a list to the proprietor. The Commission expects prompt action by the proprietor as this requirement has now been raised on a number of occasions. Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 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, 39 and 42 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The manager is in the early stages of the NVQ level IV award, and is keen to learn and improve the quality of both the service offered in the home and her own management skills. From discussion with service users it was apparent that they felt the home was well managed, and the majority of the findings from this inspection support this. Other requirements notwithstanding, the Inspector was satisfied that generally the home was being run with the best interests of the service users in mind, as a number of quality assurance checks were in place (albeit some improvement is needed), and most of the records examined were being appropriately maintained. The Inspector felt that in the areas that were inspected on this visit (risk assessment/health and safety), the home was not always being maintained to Alexandra House DS0000025810.V318280.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 an appropriate level of safety, thus failing to ensure that service users were not subject to unnecessary risk. EVIDENCE: The manager has recently successfully applied to be Registered and, as mentioned overleaf, is currently undergoing the NVQ level IV course. She was spoken of with high regard by the service users, and it is felt that she has the competencies to foster an atmosphere of openness and respect. A quality assurance audit system is in place. It includes quality checks on, for example, employment records, staff training, inspections and requirements, room by room risk assessments, the house maintenance plan, health and safety and the home’s annual development plan. It also involves seeking feedback from residents and relatives, staff and stakeholders. On looking through the audits, it was evident that while some parts of it were reviewed as planned, others aspects were not. There is a need, therefore, for the manager to ensure that audits are carried out regularly and that this is documented. Regulation 26 visits are part of the quality audit however it was not possible to evidence that they had been carried out as required, as a number of reports were not available in the home. Maintenance checks of the fire detection system and fire fighting equipment were up to date, as were the maintenance checks on the electrical installation, gas installation, portable electrical equipment and the water system re Legionella. Although there was a chart available for staff to record checks of the temperature of the hot water, this record had not been completed for almost a month. It was of concern to note that after consistent regular weekly checks of the fire alarm (following a previous requirement), no such tests had been conducted for 4 weeks. The last fire drill was carried out in May and one is therefore overdue. Risk assessments re the premises were in place, but they were not being reviewed regularly.
