What the care home could do better:

No requirements were made as a result of this inspection, one recommendation was identified. The kitchen and treatment room are now in need of redecoration. These areas should be redecorated and refurbished. This will make sure the areas are easy to keep clean and well organised and will reduce the risk of cross infection.

A skin integrity assessment tool is used to reduce the risk of residents developing pressure damage and they are assessed formally for their nutritional status. Records show that staff take necessary action to increase the residents calorie intake if they begin to loose weight. Residents are weighed regularly. No unexplained weight loss was noted in the care plans looked at. The Manager is also responsible for completing a weekly status report in which she identifies a number of statistics so that the regional manager is kept aware of the care issues in the home. This includes the number of residents loosing weight and the number of people with wounds and includes information about their current state. The staff support the residents to stay in the home when they are unwell by providing a higher level of care e.g. getting fluids through a drip (sub cutaneous) and with assistance from the specialist nursing services. Residents are provided with services available to the wider community for example chiropody, dentistry and other therapeutic services according to assessed need. Care plans include good information regarding the cultural and religious needs of residents on an individual basis. This is evident in both the social and health care needs. Dietary needs are identified and met for those residents who have requirements specific to their beliefs. The medicine records and systems were good; these were completed, staff are aware of the need to manage the medication systems effectively. Staff were seen knocking on bedroom doors prior to entering and residents interviewed confirmed that this was usual practice. They also said that they felt that they were offered privacy during personal care. Residents were complementary about the way they are supported by the staff an example of the comments were “the girls are always helpful and they are lovely”.

The records of the activities provided are detailed, and there is a social assessment. The staff confirmed that residents are able to choose whether or not they are involved. Due to the dependency level of some of the residents a number of the activities offered are less active and provided on a more one to one basis. The outside areas are pleasant and residents enjoy sitting out in the summer. The food being served is nutritious and well presented, and the residents said that they were happy with what was available and that they could have as much as they liked to eat. A resident said that although she sometimes did not feel like eating “every effort is made to tempt a non existent appetite.

All of the resident areas have level access and there are no steps or ramps once in the home. The home is generally well decorated although there is a now some remedial decoration needed on walls and door entrances (most likely due to wheelchair damage) and some bedrooms. Two bathroom areas had some damage to the decoration following a minor flood and these were to be re-decorated in the week of the visit. There have continued to be ongoing improvements to the decoration of communal areas. These are now pleasant rooms. During the visit each of the lounges had three or four residents sitting comfortably and enjoying the space and each other’s company.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35 and 37. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The manager has good arrangements in place to ensure that safety, welfare and quality of life of the people living in the home is maintained. EVIDENCE: Mrs Griffiths is registered with the Commission for Social Care Inspection as the Manager. She has worked in this role since September 1993 and is a qualified nurse experienced in both nursing and management. Since qualifying she has obtained a degree in health studies and has completed training in teaching. There is now a new deputy Ms Garland who is working with Mrs Griffiths to manage the home. Berwick Care Centre DS0000066367.V358928.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Mrs Griffiths and the senior staff of the home continually monitor the views and wishes of the residents by speaking to them on a daily basis. The manager arranges resident and resident meetings. The records of these are available. The meetings are varied and for those who do attend they can offer them the chance not only to discuss any changes occurring but also to become involved in the planning of the social activities. Staff meetings are carried out frequently and the records showed that the content of the meetings cover a broad spectrum of issues. These show that there is good attention to individual aspects of providing care. The range of topics demonstrates the commitment to providing a very high quality service. During the visit there were a number of relatives in the home, some of whom were spoken to about their views of how the home is managed. They were without exception very positive about the way Mrs Griffiths communicates with them and the staff and were complementary about her management style. One expressed her concerns that there had been changes when the manger was away for a short time. However she said that she now felt confident of the standards since her return in November 2007. Another said that they felt confident about how their relative was being cared for and said, “ it is nice to know that I can leave my mother and be sure she is well looked after”. Relatives were all happy with the way they were listened to by the Manager and when going around the home it was noticeable that all of the residents and their families knew Mrs Griffiths and were obviously relaxed and open with her. Regular reviews of individual residents care are arranged either by the Social Services departments or by the home. These offer the opportunity to seek the resident and relative views as well as review the care. The personal records kept in the home of residents who are receiving assistance to manage their finances were examined. They are detailed, logical and appropriate. Receipts were in place for purchases made on behalf of residents and signatures of either two staff or one and the service user were in place. The company undertakes internal audits and this includes the resident’s personal finances. The home has good systems for looking after the homes equipment and ensuring that the premises are safe and well maintained. Good records are kept by the handyman of the checks made. Records are in place to prove that the home has contracts for the premises and equipment safety and service certificates are kept.
