What the care home does well

Residents say they like living here and are happy. They like the staff who spend time with them individually. Staff are caring and treat them with kindness. Residents have many opportunities to enjoy a full and busy life. There is a wide choice of activities such as golf, swimming and football. Outings to places of interest are organised often and there is lots of involvement in the local community. Residents are able to develop and enjoy relationships and good family contact is encouraged. Relative`s feedback included comments `the standard of care and commitment is excellent` and `Boldshaves is outstanding. There is nothing I have found that compares with it. It is exceptional. It is an example to others in the business as to how to do it properly 10 out of 10`. `A very happy atmosphere`. Resident`s benefit from a home where they have the say in what happens. The manager puts residents first and is always looking to improve their quality of life. Resident`s benefit from a very nice home which is well maintained, clean, comfortable and homely. It has spacious grounds and good individual accommodation for two couples.

What has improved since the last inspection?

A new log cabin has been put up in the grounds to provide a separate home for two residents living as a couple. It is has plenty of space with a lounge/kitchenette/diner, bathroom and large bedroom. It has its own-decked patio with seating. Residents can enjoy the new patio doors in the lounge opening onto a newdecked patio area. A porch has been built over the patio to increase its use. New furniture has been bought for the lounges and the changes have made them more homely. Care plans have started to be improved with better detail about residents needs.

What the care home could do better:

Resident`s contracts should be agreed and signed by them or their representative. Care plans and risk assessments must be reviewed regularly. Advice from professionals must be followed into the care plan. Care plans should be person centred. Some improvement is required to the procedures for self-administration of medication. All accidents must be recorded. To ensure an effective staff team they should undertake a formal induction programme and received further training in adult protection. The staff application form should be reviewed. Staff training records must be up dated. Then plan of training put in place. Staff should be supported with supervision.

They have the information they need to make a choice about whether to move in. Contracts of terms and conditions are in place for each resident but these are not always signed. EVIDENCE: Assessments are obtained from professionals involved in residents care prior to their admission.

Residents said they had chosen whether to move to Boldshaves Oast. They and their relatives had been able to visit the home prior to moving in. Contracts are in place.

Another format is being added to give more detail. Goals are in place but there is no written detail as to how these are being achieved although staff were able to say. The care plans still lack a person centred approach and resident’s involvement. Reviews of care plans can be confusing. Some reviews were not up to date. An Occupational Boldshaves Oast DS0000023331.V301405.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Therapist’s assessment had been received but the recommendations had not been followed through into the care plan.

Residents said they are happy with their room, cottage or cabin. The Oast’s lounge furniture has also been replaced and rearranged which has resulted in a nicer environment. All units have a patio area outside and seating. The Oast has a newly decked area with covered porch leading from the lounge via new patio doors. The grounds are well maintained and include two large ponds and the horticultural project (poly tunnels & gardens). The kitchen is smallish which means meal preparation involving residents has to be organised. The laundry facilities are outside in a wooden building.

Resident’s benefit from a very caring staff team some of which are qualified and trained but the team could be more effective if there were improvements to records, supervision and training opportunities. EVIDENCE: Records showed that just fewer than 50 of staff have achieved a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) qualification. Staff were observed to communicate well with residents using a very caring attitude but on a adult to adult basis. Staff showed a clear commitment and enthusiasm for their role. Relative feedback about staff was good. Including comments that ‘staff are friendly and very helpful’ and the staff are very pleasant. On the day of the visit there were sufficient staff on duty to meet the needs of all residents. Files evidenced a robust recruitment procedure is followed. The application form should be reviewed to include the full employment history. Boldshaves Oast DS0000023331.V301405.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staff have undertaken an induction programme which includes shadowing of experienced staff. However this is not the Skills for Care induction, which is recommended. Staff also commented that their induction was a bit muddled. Staff training records were not fully up to date. The registered manager agreed to up date the records. Then an audit of training should be completed and a plan produced to address any shortfalls. A member of staff said they felt supported but did not receive supervision. The records for supervision again were not up to date. Team meetings have recently been increased from monthly to weekly to improve communication and consistency. As the senior team leader has recently left addition support and supervision is necessary.

Boldshaves Oast DS0000023331.V301405.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 A senior team leader has recently left leaving a gap in day-to-day management. The registered manager is aware he will need to spend more time within the home until the new structure is efficient. The registered manager is very good at communication the aims of the home through to ensure resident and staff are clear. His style is open, inclusive and approachable. Residents and staff confirmed this. The atmosphere is happy and relaxed. Quality assurance has recently been informal. There is plenty of contact with relatives. There are regular residents meetings and regulation 26 visits. The reports for the regulation 26 visits need to be improved inline with Inspecting for Better Lives (IBL) 2. There is a development plan for the home. Training has taken place in food hygiene, fire awareness and first aid. The records show a lack of health and safety training. See also staffing. One daily report evidenced an accident, which was not recorded on an accident report. All accidents must be recorded properly.
