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): 1,2,3 and 4 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide provide sufficient information to enable prospective residents and relatives to decide if the home can provide the services they need.

Pre-admission assessments are completed prior to the offer of a place at the home to ensure that the home can meet prospective residents needs. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide has been reviewed. It is now in booklet form and has been given to all residents. Sufficient information is available to enable prospective residents and their families to decide if the home provides the care and support they need.

Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.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 this service. The care planning system provides sufficient information for staff to enable them to provide appropriate care and support for residents. The systems for the administration of medication are satisfactory and there are arrangements in place to ensure that resident’s medication needs are met. Staff treated the residents with respect and encouraged them to play an active role in deciding the care and support they receive. EVIDENCE: The acting manager has done a considerable amount of work developing an effective care planning system. The care plans now include information about all aspects of the care needs of residents admitted to the home in recent months. Some residents have lived there for several years and there is limited information available, however staff are aware of their needs and are able to provide appropriate care. Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 It was noted that some care plans are not reviewed on a regular basis and the recording of information is not complete, some risk assessments have not been completed and the information recorded is different in some daily records compared with wound care and pressure area charts. The acting manager had identified this as a training issue prior to the inspection and will be arranging relevant training for the registered nurses, with ongoing supervision to assess improvements. Residents have access to allied health professionals as required including the tissue viability nurse and chiropodist. Policies and procedures are in place for the receipt, storage and administration of medicines. The deputy manager has identified some concerns with medication at the home and a pharmacist has visited to discuss them and provide training if required. The acting manager discussed her plans to improve the clinical room to provide more storage and make better use of the space available. This will ensure that nurses no longer have to use the resident’s lounge when checking deliveries of medication. The atmosphere in the home was relaxed, residents were comfortable, communication between residents and the staff was friendly. Residents who expressed an opinion said that ‘staff are very good and help as much as I need’ and ‘I am very comfortable’. Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.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 adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents at the home would benefit from an improved programme of activities. The meals at the home are good offering variety and choice and catering for residents special dietary needs. The routines of the home are flexible this enables residents to have control over their lives and encourages them to make choices about all aspects of their day to day lives. EVIDENCE: Some activities are provided at the home. Weekly group singing and one to one sessions are arranged in addition to staff spending time with residents offering a manicure, playing games or just talking to them depending on what they want to do. Residents said that they choose how they spend their time, ‘I enjoy the morning while sitting in bed, I can see over Eastbourne’, ‘we have a nice talk when the activity person comes and I prefer to stay in my own room’. Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 The acting manager has identified that additional activities should be available for residents to enjoy if they wish. The expectation is that one of the care staff will take responsibility for developing and introducing a programme based on the residents’ preferences and choices. Residents are encouraged to keep in contact with relatives and friends. Some continue to go out on trips with friends, one resident plans to attend the Air Show in August, and local groups, including the Multiple Sclerosis Society. Relatives and friends can visit at any time in line with resident’s preferences. There were no visitors at the home during the inspection. However the positive statements included in the comment cards and resident surveys were ‘staff proved very helpful and considerate’, ‘they are always caring and helpful’, ‘been very happy since he has been here’ while one stated that they were ‘very impressed’ with the home. The acting manager has a good understanding of the areas that need to improve at the home. Her concern is that some staff regard the work as tasks to be completed instead of caring and supporting residents to make choices. Training is to be provided with the expectation that this will be supported through ongoing supervision. However it was noted during the inspection that the routines at the home are flexible, residents who expressed an opinion said that they made choices about all aspects of their lives. One resident has a ground floor room and as a wheelchair user is assisted to use her room, the lounge or sit in the entrance hall if she wishes. Her placement was arranged on the understanding that she could keep her pet with assistance from staff, and is able to continue to have days out several times each week, a calendar is used to plan and record the activities. The meals provided for residents are nutritious and appealing, they are offered choices, the cook explained that the residents ‘can have what they want’, and a resident stated that the ‘food is excellent’. Residents were having a variety of meals at lunchtime, one had a sandwich and coffee, another pureed vegetables while most had fish, chips and peas followed by a choice of puddings. Staff working at the home all day can also able have meals and eat the same food as residents. The acting manager has reviewed the menus, fresh fruit and vegetables have been increased and now meet the governments recommended five portions a day. The nutritional assessment tool is used to identify any residents with special dietary needs, including monthly weights. However it was noted that some residents were not given salt, pepper and sauces with the meal, or offered them. The acting manager said that this is an ongoing issue, training has been provided for staff with regard to ensuring the Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 trays used for residents meals are laid appropriately and additional training will be arranged to ensure residents are offered condiments with meals.

One complaint was made to the Commission. This was referred to the acting manager of Bendigo Nursing Home who followed the homes procedures to investigate it. Issues concerning communication between the DGH and nursing homes were identified and action has been taken on both sides to address these. Residents who expressed an opinion said that the acting manager and staff listen to them when they have any problems and deal with them, although they also felt that they didn’t really have ‘anything to complain about’. Training in Adult Protection is provided for all staff. Those spoken with during the inspection were able to demonstrate an understanding of abuse and what action should be taken if they have any concerns. Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

Systems for the control of infection are in place and protect residents, staff and visitors. EVIDENCE: An improvement programme is in place at the home to update all aspects of the building and its environment, and therefore improve the conditions in which the residents live. During the inspection it was clear that a considerable amount of work has been done. The entrance area was being updated, the internal communication system has been removed as it was thought to be inappropriate for a care home, the furniture is being replaced with modern and contemporary chairs Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 and tables, and the ceiling is being lowered with ceiling lights to make the entrance more attractive and welcoming.

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 adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The staffing numbers and skill mix is appropriate to meet the assessed needs of residents. Thorough recruitment procedures help to ensure the safety and protection of residents. Appropriate training, including induction training, for the registered nurses and care staff would enable them to demonstrate a clear understanding of their roles. EVIDENCE: The staffing numbers were felt to be appropriate to meet the needs of residents at the home during the inspection. There were 16 residents at the home and the acting manager discussed the need to review the staffing levels if the number of residents increased to the registered number of 25. The home follows robust recruitment procedures, POVA/CRB checks are carried out and two references are requested by the acting manager prior to the offer of employment at the home. One member of staff is working under the direct supervision of experienced staff as a POVA first only has been completed, she was able to demonstrate an understanding of why this system is in place and how it protects residents. Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 One member of the care staff team has NVQ Level 3, although the majority of staff employed as care staff are nurses who have trained in other countries. Discussions with the acting manager identified some confusion concerning what qualifications are equivalent to a NVQ and advice is to be sought to clarify this. Induction training is not in place for staff. The acting manager expects to develop this programme with the deputy manager within the next few weeks and introduce it for new staff to begin with, although all staff will be expected to complete it. A Staff Handbook has been developed and given to staff, it includes information about the care practices in the home, health and safety as well as the homes policies and procedures. Bendigo Nursing Home DS0000065151.V289780.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 20 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 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.

A quality assurance and monitoring system is not yet in place at the home, although the acting manager has developed a system, which will be introduced when the building work has been completed at the home. Residents, visitors and staff are encouraged to discuss with the management and staff any concerns they may have regarding any aspect of the home, its environment and the care and support provided. The manager confirmed that the home does not take responsibility for resident’s finances.
