What the care home does well

Staff were observed to have the necessary skills and used effective techniques for interacting with residents and engaging them in activities of daily living.

Bells Piece H58-H09 S13567 Bells Piece V233067 140605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 Mostly the residents lived in a comfortable, safe environment. Provision included facilities and accommodation that promoted independence and privacy. Requirement was made for adaptation of a shower facility and provision of additional aids to meet the assessed needs and ensure the safety of two residents. Staff sleeping facilities for on-call duties were considered inadequate and required review. EVIDENCE: Bells Piece H58-H09 S13567 Bells Piece V233067 140605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 The home environment was spacious, comfortable and domestic in scale, affording personal privacy and autonomy for residents within individual capabilities. The hallway, games room and library area had been redecorated and re-carpeted to a good standard last year. A recently admitted resident described choosing the colour scheme for his bedroom. Residents were issued with keys to their bedrooms accommodation. All bedrooms were fitted with internal telephones used to contact staff if necessary, for emergencies and for contact with the night staff member sleeping –in, on call. A resident with a visual impairment had a ‘panic button’ located in her flat to enable her to contact staff immediately in the event of an emergency. Bathroom and cloakroom facilities had been fitted last year with new baths and toilets. These were sufficient in number and location. The range of communal facilities was well used by residents at the time of the inspection. The large kitchen was observed to be the area where residents congregated to discuss their day over a drink and snack on their return from the day’s activities. Though generally the premises were suitable for the home’s stated purpose, further adaptations and aids were necessary to meet the assessed needs of two residents. The shower facility available for the use of these individuals was considered unsuitable and unsafe to meet their needs. Additionally a grab rail must be fitted by the back door of their accommodation leading to a terraced area, for safety. It was suggested to the manager that a specialist assessment be requested of the living environment of a resident who was registered blind/visually impaired, to ensure needs were fully met. The home was clean and tidy in communal areas. Support workers mostly undertook cleaning of these areas with limited input from residents. The residents received support from staff in maintaining hygiene standards in their personal accommodation. The standard of cleanliness in the personal accommodation of a resident was noted to require improvement. In discussion with the manager in this matter it was clarified that the team had already identified this. An action plan was evident for addressing this shortfall and for provision of additional support for this individual. The laundry had been relocated to another room within the home since the last inspection. Residents were encouraged to do their own laundry with staff support. Comment was received from a member of staff that the new laundry area was smaller than the former facility, reducing tumble dryer capacity. The impact of this was not evident as yet as residents were able to use washing lines during the summer. Staff required to carry out sleeping on call duties were not provided with separate facilities for this purpose. Staff slept on a convertible chair bed in the games room. Staff emphasised it was not the practice to insist residents vacate use of this room when they commenced their on-call shift at 23.00 hrs. Whilst this was noted comments were received about the lack of privacy for staff sleeping –in from individual staff. Another expressed concern about the adequacy of the security of windows in the games room. Bells Piece H58-H09 S13567 Bells Piece V233067 140605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 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 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 34,36. Residents were protected by the home’s staff recruitment policy and practices, also arrangements for staff supervision and support. EVIDENCE: The staff files examined demonstrated a thorough recruitment process in the appointment of staff. They contained documentary evidence of applications, interview records, references, medical information, and personal identity and of Criminal Records Bureau Enhanced Disclosures being obtained and Pova/First Checks carried out. Staff had been issued with contracts and there was a three-month probationary period for new staff. Personnel documentation and policies established that new staff were subject to a formal three monthly appraisal. A formal staff supervision structure was in place and operational. A member of staff confirmed receipt of formal 1:1 supervision with a line manager every six week and stated supervision notes were recorded and maintained confidentially. The staff team was mixed gender reflecting the mixed gender of residents accommodated. They were observed to be professional in their conduct. Observation of their practice concluded an appropriate balance between guidance and encouragement to residents for making choices and learning new skills and protection from harm. Positive relationships were evident between residents and staff.

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 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 37, 38, 41, 42. The day – to – day operation and management of the home was effective and inclusive. Whilst the health, safety and welfare of residents were generally promoted action was required to meet risks and assessed needs of individual residents. The security of the premises required further review. Record keeping practices whilst overall satisfactory required further attention to personnel records. Bells Piece H58-H09 S13567 Bells Piece V233067 140605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 20 EVIDENCE: The registered manager had attained an NVQ Level 4 in Care. It was not established whether the manager had registered to study for the Manager’s Award qualification. The manager possessed relevant experience and knowledge to fulfil her role and responsibilities. The atmosphere of the home was welcoming and inclusive. Individual staff stated that they felt supported by the home manager and encouraged and enabled to put forward ideas for developing the service. Comment was received from a staff member however that consultation had not taken place with the team prior to taking the decision to alter the disposition of office and utility rooms. It was noted that the General Manager had since met with staff to discuss the rationale for these changes and this change was discussed with residents. Written policies, observation of care practice also discussions with service users and staff indicated a commitment to equal opportunities in the home’s operation. Personnel records were examined and requirement made for a record to be maintained of CRB disclosures in accordance with CRB policy. The inspector reviewed records that demonstrated safe working practices in arrangements for first aid and staff training in first aid. Portable electric appliance testing had been carried out in October 2004. The manager advised that a gas safety inspection was imminent. The manager confirmed the home had a current electrical certificate following the inspection. Observations of the new laundry room indicated the need for consultation with a fire safety consultant on fire safety in this area. Fire records confirmed staff and fire marshals had received fire safety training. Fire drills were undertaken and fire service records demonstrated regular maintenance of the detection system and of fire fighting equipment. A member of staff raised the adequacy of the security of the premises as an issue, particularly at night. Whilst acknowledging that the building was part fitted with a security system it was evident that a further review of security during the day and at night was essential.
