Inspection on 12/05/06 for Belper Views

Also see our care home review for Belper Views for more information

This inspection was carried out on 12th May 2006.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Good. 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 but made no statutory requirements on the home.

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

The home aims to provide a family type atmosphere, and the various communal areas are set out to achieve this aim. A lot of improvements to the physical environment have been in made recent years and all bedrooms are single, a good number with en-suite facilities. Residents are positive about laundry and catering services, and visitors are actively encouraged to come to the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The manager has completed registration with the CSCI and is due to commence on a Registered Manager`s Award training course. A cell phone has been provided for residents to use so that they avoid blocking up the office telephone. The ground floor bathroom has been improved for resident use by the replacement of the old `medi bath` by an ordinary bath and safety has been covered by fitting it with a manual hoist.

What the care home could do better:

Continued improvements in the standard of assessment and care planning documentation need to be made to increase staff working safely and consistently. Given the limitations of the current documentation, the purchaseof a professionally developed system was discussed and strongly recommended. Urgent attention needs to be made to the process of applying for checks from the Criminal Records Bureau to make sure that only suitable people are appointed to work at the home, and an immediate requirement notice was left at the home to underline the urgency of this matter. Improvements in minor aspects of the medicines administration, staff training and staff supervision need to be made to ensure greater resident safety and consistency in staff working.

The home offers access to a good range of community and leisure facilities, although there are no shopping facilities in the immediate area. The home offers accommodation for 25 older people in single rooms, some with en-suite facilities available, and has a good range of communal areas, offering a variety of spaces for residents and their visitors to use. Residents at the home are registered with 1 of 2 local Doctor’s practices and there is a small community hospital in the town. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was a key unannounced inspection that took place at the home over a period of 7 hours. Additionally, time was spent in preparation for the visit, looking at previous inspection reports and other relevant documents and preparing a structured plan for the inspection. At the home, apart from examining documents, care files and records, time was spent speaking to the owner and registered manager and 5 of the staff working at the home during the visit. The care records of 4 people who use the service were examined in detail and these were interviewed along with 5 others and 2 visitors who were at the home during the morning. The last unannounced inspection of the home was carried out on 10 March 2006 when an immediate requirement notice was left for urgent attention to obtain new clearance by the Criminal Records Bureau in relation to 3 staff employed at the home. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Continued improvements in the standard of assessment and care planning documentation need to be made to increase staff working safely and consistently. Given the limitations of the current documentation, the purchase Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 6 of a professionally developed system was discussed and strongly recommended. Urgent attention needs to be made to the process of applying for checks from the Criminal Records Bureau to make sure that only suitable people are appointed to work at the home, and an immediate requirement notice was left at the home to underline the urgency of this matter. Improvements in minor aspects of the medicines administration, staff training and staff supervision need to be made to ensure greater resident safety and consistency in staff working.

Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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 Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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): 3, 4 and 6 Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. People do not come to live at the home without the care they need from the home, and its staff, being identified. However, this is not carried out in comprehensive ways and the documents prepared do not contain all the necessary information to ensure a safe and consistent service. EVIDENCE: As was noted in the reports of the last inspections, the service user files examined contain a range of information that had been prepared at the time of admission. Although the manager has continued to update and improve the standard of care records, it was agreed that she has gone as far as she can with the document formats currently in use at the home, due to their inbuilt limitations. Areas of particular concern and risk – (risk assessments) – had only been completed for some residents and these had not all been reviewed and evaluated at appropriate intervals to make sure that the information was accurate. Examples noted were general assessments in relation to nutritional and moving and handling needs. Whilst these assessments were linked to the daily care plan (see next section), in some cases the overall package of Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 documents still lacked clarity and detail about how needs were to be met, and about how proper services were to be provided. The possibility of purchasing a complete system of care documentation was discussed with the home’s manager and proprietor and it was agreed that this would be given immediate serious consideration. During discussions with the manager about problems experienced with the increase in dependency of certain residents, she was able to explain how alternative services had been sought and how the home limits its service to people who don’t have advanced needs. Prospective service users can be reassured that only people who are appropriate for the home will be admitted. The home does not provide an intermediate care service so Standard 6 does not apply. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 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 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The care of all residents, including health care, is planned and given in ways that respect individuality and privacy, and the management of medicines is generally satisfactory. However, the care plan documents do not efficiently support care activities and resident welfare. EVIDENCE: All residents have their own file containing care records and care plans, and 4 files were looked at in detail during the inspection. As noted above, the current formats and structure of documents place limitations on the standard of care plans produced and this was again noted to be varied in the sample of files looked at and the requirement made at the last inspection remains. It was agreed by the home’s management that the style of current care plans does not encourage a comprehensive service being designed for each resident and that they do not describe clearly how different needs are to be met. As noted in the previous section the idea of the purchase of professionally produced sets of care documents was discussed with the proprietor and manager at this visit, and this will be given immediate serious consideration. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 Evidence from care records and from discussions with staff and residents, indicated that there is good and routine support from outside professionals in respect of the health needs of people living at the home. Generally the arrangements for receipt, storage and administration of medicines have been improved over the past year; in particular the standards of recording on the MAR sheets now ensure much safer practice although a number of handwritten entries and instructions had not been signed and dated by the person responsible. Records of the temperature of the small storage refrigerator were absent due to the lack of a maximum/minimum thermometer. These shortfalls may lead to unsafe conditions in the management of the residents’ medicines. Although some residents had their own telephones in their rooms, the proprietor has now provided a cell phone for everyone to use, so that residents do not block the office phone and a call line is always available to them. Discussions with residents and visitors indicated that care is always given in careful and sensitive ways by staff. They all reported that the staff were always very friendly and that their privacy was respected at all times. For example, one resident spoken to spends substantial amounts of time in her room and this presents no problems. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 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): 12, 13, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Social life at the home had shown some improvements and there are always a good number of visitors to the home. Although, residents remained largely uninvolved in stimulating activities, they feel in control of their lives at the home and enjoy a satisfactory diet. EVIDENCE: The activities coordinator has continued to make an impact an impact on the amount of social and leisure time being spent with the residents, but the residents spoken to reported that when she is not on duty there is little in the way of structured activity at the home. They did say that staff are able to spend 1-to-1 time with them when they are free to do so and they are generally happy to be able to run their lives at the home as they please; a number were in their rooms listening to music or watching television during the visit. Additionally, those who are interested are now enjoying more regular visits of a local church group. One resident spoken to is supported to enjoy a particularly independent life and regularly travels into Belper and further afield around Derbyshire with his free bus pass. All residents spoken to have retained contact with their families and received visitors at the home on a regular basis. According to the residents, their routines were arranged Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 according to their preferences and they all reported that they were free to use all the facilities of the home as they wished to. The new cook continues to make improvements in the home’s catering and all feedback from the residents was positive about the standard of meals served at the home. Storage arrangements in the kitchen have been changed and more space has been made available, with a different approach to purchasing food to make sure that excess stocks are not carried. The cook reported that he now uses increasing amounts of fresh ingredients, having changed some of the suppliers and the menus continue to reflect this. Written menus are now placed on each table in the dining room and a choice was available on the lunch menu on the day of the inspection. One resident also described how the cook will make special arrangements to cook food for him that he has purchased at the local supermarket. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 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 and 18. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The home has a procedure in place relating to making and managing complaints and in relation to the protection of vulnerable people. Residents and staff are made aware of their respective rights responsibilities in these areas. EVIDENCE: The copy of the complaints procedure is on display in the communal area and is included within the Service Users Guide, given to residents when they arrive at the home. The home has not had any formal complaints in the last 12 months but as there is no system in place for recording informal concerns and problems raised by residents on a day-to-day basis, the incidence of these cannot be commented on. Such a system will allow the proprietor and manager to be fully aware of how the home is operating and of any problems in the daily lives of residents, no matter how small they may appear to be. A complaint received by CSCI was discussed at the last inspection but this proved to be without foundation and was not taken further. The home has a detailed policy and procedure in relation to the protection of vulnerable adults, and this includes the local statutory procedure to be followed. Staff are given instruction at the time they join the home and also through other later training; not all had received this follow-up. There had been no incidents of use of the statutory procedures during the past 12 months but the manager has previous experience of the matter. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 15 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 and 26. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The proprietor has continued to make improvements to facilities and the home is clean, hygienic and offers good standards of comfort to residents in the bedrooms, garden and communal areas. EVIDENCE: A tour of the building was made to look at selected bedrooms, bathrooms and to speak to residents and it was noted that the proprietor has continued to maintain a good standard in the physical environment of the home. The downstairs bathroom has been upgraded by the replacement of the ‘medi-bath’ with a standard modern one fitted with a manual hoist. Generally the standard of the bedrooms visited were satisfactory and the residents spoken to were complimentary about their individual arrangements. It was noted that the following areas need attention to improve resident comfort, welfare and safety: The carpet in the dining room is badly stained and showing signs of wear. There is an area of damaged plaster in the kitchen ceiling that has been caused by water leakage in the bathroom above. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 All bedroom doors have been supplied with resident names, to assist with orientation. The communal areas and bedrooms of the home were clean and tidy and free from odours at the time of this inspection and the residents spoken to had no complaints about the laundry service of the home; everybody observed in the home wore clean and well-presented clothing. The Fire and Environmental Health Officers visited the home last year and were satisfied with the standards of safety observed. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 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 and 30. Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Good levels of training have been provided to staff so that they work consistently and safely. Whilst recruitment of new staff has been carried out properly in the past, lack of recent experience has exposed serious flaws in the home’s systems and potentially the wrong people for the job may be employed. EVIDENCE: From examination of the staff roster, the numbers of staff regularly on duty is satisfactory and meets the previously agreed levels. Standards of cleanliness of the home and activities in the kitchen indicate that sufficient domestic and catering staff are employed to meet the needs of the registered numbers of residents. Records on staff files showed that 9 care staff had completed or were completing an NVQ qualification at a minimum of level 2, and the required target of 50 of staff having this has now been achieved, which is to be commended. Staff were observed with the residents during the inspection and interactions were seen to be warm and professional. At the last inspection an immediate requirement notice was left at the home requiring the home’s management to make urgent applications to obtain checks from the Criminal Records Bureau in respect of 3 recently employed staff. Examination of their records had indicated a failure to do so which has Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 18 exposed serious weaknesses in the process followed for the recruitment of new staff. Since that time there seems to have been an administrative error on the part of the ‘umbrella organisation’ that handles these applications for the home and the applications sent by the manager have been lost. This has resulted in the potential recruitment of people who are not right for the job and, in order to make sure that the problem is urgently rectified, a further immediate requirement was left at the home at the end of the inspection. A previous examination of the files of all established staff indicated that the correct checks had been carried out for them. From the examination of staff records and discussion with the manager satisfactory levels of staff training in relation have been carried out in relation to the core health and safety activities, apart from instruction in relation to the control of infections and in the protection of vulnerable adults. The manager reported that following discussions with the National Training Council, she will be receiving assistance to plan and deliver a comprehensive training programme for staff. Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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, 35 and 36. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The manager has completed registration with CSCI and is due to commence on training for a suitable qualification. Systems for measuring the quality of services at the home have yet to be developed by the provider as have those for the formal support and monitoring of staff activities. EVIDENCE: The manager has completed registration with CSCI since the last inspection, and she is also due to commence on a Registered Manager’s training course with a local college; both of these are required by law. The manager continues to have a stabilising influence on the home and to update systems of administration. Previous examination of the system for managing of resident finances indicated that these were in order and all activities involved with looking after their Belper Views DS0000019936.V293104.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 20 money were properly carried out; there have been no changes to this system. However, discussion with staff and examination of records, indicated that although annual appraisals have been taking place, they had not been having regular 1-to-1 meetings with the home’s management. This will lead to a shortfall in systems for the formal support and monitoring of staff performance.
