This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has good staffing levels and residents are supported by sufficiently trained and supervised staff, to ensure that their needs are met. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection the home has recruited three carers, as five carers have left. There were reasonable explanations for these departures. The home is using agency staff, who are currently covering for two carers who are off sick. The manager reported that they have had the same agency care staff and that they have fitted very well into the home. Although there are currently care staff hours to fill the manager is not going to advertise until after the summer holiday period. Ashlett Dale employs two senior care assistants, one to work during the week and another for the weekend shifts. On the day of the inspection there were two carers [one was a senior care assistant], a domestic, cook and the carer therapist on duty. The inspector was able to speak to all the care staff. As noted in the summary, the registered persons were on holiday but came into the home to assist in the inspection process. However, the majority of staff have worked in Ashlett Dale for a number of years and are aware of their duties and responsibilities. Four staff have obtained NVQ [national vocational qualification] at level 2 and a further two carers have enrolled for NVQ level 2 and another carer has Ashlett Dale Rest Home DS0000011884.V305513.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 enrolled for level 3.

Ashlett Dale Rest Home DS0000011884.V305513.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The manager is approachable and has an open style of management. She provides good leadership, which ensures staff are supported and residents’ health, safety and welfare promoted through the home’s practices. EVIDENCE: Collette Willis, registered manager, has worked in Ashlett Dale since August 1983. She is an internal assessor for NVQ [national vocational qualification] and has a diploma in social care, having attended college for two years. She completed NVQ level 4 but told the inspector that having finished the course work found out that having paid she was not registered with the examining body. She is currently trying to sort out what she needs to do to complete the registered managers award for NVQ level 4 in both management and care. Ashlett Dale Rest Home DS0000011884.V305513.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 There is an open, friendly and transparent atmosphere within the home. Residents spoke warmly of staff and the way the home is run. The home does not hold residents’ meetings but feedback is informal through observation, discussion and verbal feedback from relatives. An annual questionnaire is sent out to relatives in January each year. The home is not appointee for any service user. The majority of residents are subject to power of attorney orders with relatives or solicitors as appointed representatives. One resident is subject to a Court of Protection order. Ashlett Dale is not responsible for the resident’s financial affairs. It was noted in the last inspection report that it was unclear if formal supervision had been started in the home. Staff did feel they had discussions with the manager on care practice issues but none were aware of records being maintained of signing a supervision record and on that occasion records were unavailable. However, a supervision system is now in place. Supervision records were available and indicated that the majority of staff have had three supervision sessions so far this year. Staff, spoken to, said they had benefited from having individual sessions with the manager. The fire log was inspected and the records indicated that the fire safety equipment had been tested and serviced within the guidelines. Staff have received fire safety training and the home had a fire drill on 6 April 2006. Staff, spoken to, were aware of what to do in the event of a fire. The manager ensures the safe working practices by planning courses on health and safety within Ashlett Dale, including first aid, adult protection, manual handling, food hygiene, fire and medication. Risk assessments are in place. There are current and up to date contracts on electrical equipment as well as kitchen and domestic appliances et cetera. COSHH [control of substances hazardous to health] policies and procedures are in place. Window restrictors are in place on the windows above ground level, to ensure safety for residents. From a check of the records and practices observed in the home during the inspection, the health and safety measures taken in the home ensure the welfare and safety of the residents.
