Apthorp Lodge DS0000051441.V265319.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection, which took place on Monday 12th December 2005 at 9am and was completed at 2.30pm. The registered manager and deputy manager were available throughout the inspection and were very helpful and accommodating. The Commission’s pharmacist inspector, Marilyn MacKenzie also carried out an unannounced inspection of the home’s medication policies and procedures from 10am to 2pm on the same day and her findings are entered in this report in the relevant section. Five residents and six staff were spoken to at length informally throughout the day. The personal files of ten residents and seven staff were viewed, along with a number of other files, documents and safety certificates. A tour of the home was conducted with the deputy manager. Since the previous inspection, the staff team have worked hard to ensure that all of the previous requirements have been met. There were ten requirements made at the previous inspection, of these, this inspection has revealed that all but two of the requirements have been met. All of the core standards have been inspected at this and the previous inspection. The residents are being well cared for by a dedicated staff team, who have worked hard to ensure that all parts of the home, is made as comfortable and accessible as possible. Many of the staff have worked in the home for many years and have a good understanding of the residents’ needs. The management structure and division of the home into units, with a unit leader, has worked well in ensuring that the needs of residents are broken down into manageable groups, while still retaining a sense of community within the home. The home exudes a picture of harmony and co-operation from both the residents and staff, without staff losing sight of their roles and responsibilities to the residents. Two requirements made at the last inspection have not yet been met and have been restated in this report, with a new timescale for compliance. Further information about unmet requirements can be found in the relevant standard. Unmet requirements impact upon the welfare and safety of service users. Failure to comply by the revised timescale will lead to the Commission for Social Care Inspection considering enforcement action to secure compliance.

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 and 3. Staff are not ensuring that all residents are completely aware of all of the services and facilities provided in the home, which may result in residents misunderstanding of their rights. The staff team are ensuring that comprehensive assessments are being carried out in order to best meet the needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose and service users guide was viewed and has been updated, to include the Commission’s correct name and residents’ correct spending allowance in the service users guide, which was a requirement at the previous inspection. The personal files of ten residents were viewed and although some contained a copy of their contract, with adequate information of their terms and conditions of residency, five residents did not have a copy of their contract on file. A requirement is made that all resident have a contract setting out the services and facilities provided. Apthorp Lodge DS0000051441.V265319.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 The registered manager stated that a full assessment is carried out on all potential residents by a senior member of the staff team prior to the person moving into the home. The assessments of the ten most recent admissions to the home were viewed and all contained essential information such as health care needs, daily requirements and a brief summary of their overall care needs.

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 and 9. The staff team are ensuring that all residents’ care needs are appropriately documented in their care plans and are working according to the plans to best meet the needs of residents.

EVIDENCE: The care plans of ten residents were viewed. Each contained a comprehensive care plan, covering areas such as health and medical care needs, cultural needs, psychological and emotional care needs and hobbies and interests. A support worker was spoken to privately about a resident that she was observed talking to in “Jamaican patois”, she stated that the resident understands and responds better when spoken to in patois. When the resident’s care plan was viewed, their was evidence to substantial this. Apthorp Lodge DS0000051441.V265319.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Significant improvement has been made by the staff team to ensure that medication administration requirements from the previous inspection have been met and that policies and procedures are adhered to. All flats were visited at this inspection and the receipt and administration records for service users were examined. No gaps were found on the medication administration sheets. The receipt of one service user’s medication had not been signed in on the medication administration record sheet. The assistant manager stated that this was an oversight, as it had been received late at night. A requirement is made that all residents’ medication is signed in on their medication administration record sheet. Medication times for residents had been reviewed and medication is now being given at a more suitable time for them; this included nighttime medication. All the documentation had been completed for service users wishing to administer their own medication. The manager had the completed list of all the staff who had received training and were therefore authorised to administer medication. There were still a few members of staff who still needed to receive the medication training currently being undertaken by Boots Pharmacists. The manager stated that the staff who failed the test at the end of the training session had repeated the training. All the records showed that the temperature of trolleys are being maintained at 25 oc or below. The home is going to undertake a feasibility study with a view to introducing cool room/s for the storage of medication. The coding on the administration sheets showed that during the month two service users had run out of their medication for more than twelve hours. A requirement is made that the registered persons continue to work with the service users’ GPs to ensure that all medication is prescribed, ordered and checked into the home with sufficient time for a service user’s medication to be available when required. They were not on the standard monthly cycle as they had been away or had only recently been admitted to the home. The new supplying pharmacist had ensured with the staff that there was a smooth transfer of the dispensing of medication for the home. The new sheets for use by respite service users do not have a section where medication returned to service users on leaving the home can be signed for by the service user or their relatives.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 20, 21 and 23. The dedication of the staff team ensures that residents generally live in a safe and comfortable home, although some parts of the home require minor repairs to ensure that the homely appearance is maintained. EVIDENCE: While touring the home with the deputy manager seven residents were spoken to informally. All said that they were happy and comfortable. One resident said that she was looking forward to Christmas and another said that he was content and did not want anyone fussing over him. A letter was seen from the contractors who have been assigned to ensure that the attic door near flat 9 is more easily assessable. The rope dangling from the attic door has also been removed. This requirement is therefore met. In some units, Christmas carols were playing on either the radio or compact disc player. Apthorp Lodge DS0000051441.V265319.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 While looking at bathrooms and toilets, a toilet seat was broken and propped up next to the toilet in one of the units and a curtains in one of the lounges was hanging off due to some broken curtain hooks.

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): 29 and 30.

The deputy manager said that she is in the process of arranging dates for their training in the New Year. This requirement is revised and restated in that the registered persons must ensure that all staff receive sufficient training to meet the changing needs of the residents.
