This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced site visit, which forms part of the home’s first key inspection to be undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) was undertaken by Mrs Mavis Clahar on the 15th May 2007 and lasted for seven hours and fifteen minutes; commencing at 08:35 hours and concluding at 15:50. The majority of the service users spoken to at the home on the day of the inspection were able to express their thoughts and feelings about the care they receive. The information contained in this report was gathered mainly from observation by the inspector, speaking with two relatives on the phone, speaking with a number of service users, and speaking with care staff. Further information was gathered from records kept at the home, and from the pre inspection questionnaires completed by relatives and service users of the home, and from the pre inspection questionnaire and data sent to CSCI from the home. The first part of the inspection was spent discussing the inspection process with the Registered manager and deputy manager; (the operation manager joined the group later) followed by a tour of the home which included time spent in discussion with service users, care workers and the Chef. The registered manager and operation manager are aware of the Laws regarding equality and diversity. However, no one at the home is currently undertaking the course. The home does not have an Equality and Diversity policy in place, but the operation manager told us all policies are currently being revised and Equality and Diversity policy is one of the new ones to be written. Recommendations of good practice were made to have these issues rectified as soon as possible. All service users in this home are Caucasian by race including one from an ethnic minority background by nationality. Service users and relatives spoke highly of the care they received at the home with some acknowledged criticism of the lounge, which appears to be overcrowded. The management are fully aware of this, and are in the process of making preparations to have the lounge enlarged. All records sampled were up to date with care plans being signed by the service users or by relatives. No requirement was made on this inspection. The final part of the inspection was spent giving feedback to the manager, deputy manager and operations manager about the findings of the visit. The inspector would like to thank all the service users, care staff relatives who completed the pre inspection questionnaire and those who took time out of
Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 their busy day to speak with the inspector for making the visit so productive and pleasant on the day. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
The home continues to offer a good service to the service users and the service users relatives also acknowledged this. We observed that not all care workers were wearing their name badge on the day of the visit, and one service user also spoke about this during the post visit telephone conversation. A recommendation of good practice was made. Staff spoken to were aware of the law regarding Equality and Diversity, but no one at the home had completed the training and the Equality and Diversity Policy has not yet been delivered to the home from head office. Recommendations of good practice were made to have these issues dealt with as soon as possible.

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.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3&6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective service users and their relatives have the information needed to choose a home, which will meet their needs EVIDENCE: Random sample of service users files, care plans and personalised daily workbook, along with selected case tracking has demonstrated the homes ability to assess service users needs. This was supported by discussion with the manager, and the service users themselves. Review of carers’ training files have shown care workers had the knowledge suitable to meet the care needs of the service users in their care. Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 & 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has a good and clear care plan in place for service users, which also includes appropriate risks assessments. This forms the basis for care based on the agreed care needs of the service users and demonstrated that health and personal care needs were met. Care staff receives training to meet the assessed care needs of the service users ensuring that competent staff supports service users and their health and care needs are met. The home’s medication policy on receiving, storing and administering and return of medication was in place and being adhered to thereby ensuring the safety and protection of the service users. Care workers were observed treating service users with respect and to maintain their dignity and privacy when delivering personal care. Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 EVIDENCE: The randomly selected care plans were clear and easy to read, identifying potential and actual risks to service users. It was noted that care plans were signed and where possible in agreement with the service users, relatives were encouraged to be involved with the development of the service users’ care plans. The majority of the pre inspection questionnaires and in telephone discussion with relatives and the individualised daily work log along with discussion with service users demonstrated that service users care needs are fully met. One service user said” I have not needed medical support, but have noticed prompt help to others when needed.” Each service user is registered with a General Practitioner who visits the home on a weekly basis and more often if needed. Arrangements are in place for service users to access the wider health care provision, as their care needs demand. No service user at the time of inspection was responsible for their medication, but the manager was knowledgeable about what to do should this situation arise. Good clear records are kept of medication receipts, storage, administered and returned for destruction. There were no visitors to the home who wished to speak with the inspector, but relatives’ response to the pre inspection questionnaire indicated they are satisfied with the care services users received at the home, and some relatives requested to speak with the inspector. Telephone conversations were held with relatives on the 16/05/07 where they said “they were very happy with the care provided by the home, the manager was very approachable and understanding and any issues raised would be dealt with immediately”. One relative was concerned about the possible loss of the use of the garden to her relative in the summer months due to the proposed addition to the home. Service users spoken to, rated the personal care they receive at the home as very good. Most of them said they were contented, they had enough to eat and can do as they like. One service user said, “ I do not know who my named nurse is, but you can speak directly to any member of staff who will listen and help in any way she can”. Service users said they are treated with respect and their privacy is upheld in their bedrooms, but there is no privacy when speaking with their relatives in the lounge. We observed that the lounge was indeed very packed and in discussion with the manager, he told us that the company has recognised this and have decided to extend the lounge. The application for the extension is being dealt with as we speak. He said he did not foresee the building work being commencing before the autumn. Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 & 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users lifestyles do not always meet their needs and preferences but where possible they are able to maintain contact with family, friends and the local community. Service users are able to make choices in accordance with their abilities and were provided with a balanced diet in pleasant surroundings and in an unhurried way EVIDENCE: The manager told us the home employs an activities coordinator who is also an occupational therapist, and although some service users do not like some of the activities, the majority does. During the relatives meetings some service user praised the activities coordinator for the work she has been doing with them as evidenced in the minutes. The manager told us that the activities co-ordinator provides a range of activities based on the needs of the service users. This activity can be one to one or in a group. It was noted that service users were sat in the lounge, some watching the TV whilst others were unoccupied. In discussion with service users they said some days were very long and some days are so
Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 packed they enjoy the quiet now as in the afternoon the music man will arrive and then it becomes very noisy full of laughter and singing. Arrangements are in place for service users to practice their faith and receive spiritual guidance as they wish. There is a notice on the front door informing all visitors to the home that there is no restriction to visiting the service users and this was supported by the service users and the care staff and by relatives in the pre inspection questionnaires completed by relatives. Service users can take their relatives to their bedrooms for privacy or when the weather is good they can go out into the garden or patio where ample seating are provided. It was observed that the lounge became very congested when visitors remained in the lounge with their relatives. Service users said they are able to make choices and control over their care. This was reflected in the care plans, which were signed by the service users to show they were consulted about their care needs. Some service users commented on the lack of privacy in the lounge during visiting with their relatives. However, they told us although they can use their bedrooms they did not wish to be moved from the lounge. Service users and care workers interactions were observed as friendly but firm with no one overstepping the social boundaries. The inspector did not sample the food, but the service users said the food is good, and plentiful. In discussion with the Chef, it was apparent he was knowledgeable about the dietary needs of the service users and prepared their food to their tastes. The Chef operates from a four-week menu. There is always a choice of two hot meals per day at mid-day, or salad at mid-day or the service user can choose their own food e.g. omelette etc. The evening meal is always soup followed by hot meal or sandwiches filled with service users choice. There were ample amount of fresh fruit, dry food and frozen food available in the home. Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 & 18. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has a satisfactory complaints policy and procedure and training in place. However, service users and relatives had not made any complaints or raised any concerns. Robust Safeguarding adults’ policies are in place to protect the service users from abuse. EVIDENCE: Data received in the pre inspection questionnaire indicated the home received three complaints since the last inspection, which were dealt with in accordance with the homes’ complaints policy and procedure. A requirement was made on this standard at the previous inspection visit and this has been actioned satisfactorily. The manager told us he is in touch with service users on a daily basis and issues raised are dealt with immediately; this reduces the incidents of formal complaints. Service users spoken to said they have no need to complain, as they are able to discuss everything with the manager. The relatives’ questionnaire indicated some relatives had no knowledge of the homes’ complaints procedure, whilst other relatives said they had knowledge of the homes complaints policy and procedures but they were never used, as relatives indicated they had no reason to make any complaints as they were in daily contact with the manager. The home has a complaints procedure and policy, which is updated yearly, and care workers spoken to are aware of how to make and take complaints. On entering the home in the front hall on the
Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 notice board we observed a copy of the homes complaints policy and procedure. The care workers were aware of the homes’ policy and procedure on Safeguarding Adults and felt secure in the knowledge that if they had to use the whistle blowing procedure the manager and the Owners of the company would support them. A random sample of care workers training record demonstrated that care workers are being trained to undertake the duties of meeting the service users assessed needs, thereby protecting them from abuse.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The physical design and layout of the home enables service users to live in a safe, well-maintained and comfortable environment, which encourages independence. EVIDENCE: The home continues to work within its planned programme of refurbishment and upgrading. The kitchen has been totally refurbished with new flooring, new cooker, new fridge, new stainless steel shelving and central worktable. There is also a new instant hot water boiler. The manager told us that the management and staff encourage residents to see the home as their own home. It presents as a comfortable, attractive homely home, which has all the specialist adaptations, needed to meet the service users needs. It was observed that care workers were interacting with the residents both in the lounge and dining area, so that residents’ needs are quickly attended to.

Some residents told us that they try to go out daily weather permitting to enjoy the gardens and watch the various birds visiting the garden. We noted that adverse weather would not stop residents enjoying the garden, as the windows are low enough to allow them to view the gardens from their armchairs, whilst sitting in the lounge diner. It was observed that some resident’s bedrooms were personalised with small items of furniture, paintings on the wall and many family photographs Generally, the home presents as clean, safe, pleasant, hygienic and tidy and free from offensive odours. Random review of care workers training record demonstrated they have had training in infection control and this was evident in the storage of waste.

Trained and skilled competent staff met Service users needs The number of staff on duty was sufficient to meet the service users needs. The service recruitment policy is adequate and generally meets the regulations and national minimum standards. EVIDENCE: The staff rota demonstrated the number and grade of staff on duty to provide care and attention to service users for any twenty-four period was adequate to meet the assessed care needs of the service users. The home has a programme of planned training in place and all members of staff have an individual training record.

All newly appointed staff undertakes an induction programme. The home ensures that staff undertakes the mandatory training with yearly updates as necessary to maintain their competency to fulfil their duties. This was evidenced through discussion with the manager and care workers and from evidence gained from the homes training records. The manager was knowledgeable about equal opportunities and how this relates to recruitment and retention of staff. At the moment there isn’t any one
Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 undertaking the Equality and Diversity training but this is being remedied as soon as they can obtain a place on a course. Recommendations of good practice were made on this standard. We were told that the recruitment of staff is in line with the Government and the homes policies on Equal Opportunities it was observed that the current staffing team mirrors the population of the area in which the home is based. We observed that all service users in this home are Caucasian by race with a minority from an ethnic minority background by nationality. It was noted that staff turn over at the home is relatively low. All staff are Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) checked prior to commencing employment, and they are in receipt of terms and conditions of employment. All care workers’ records reviewed included an induction programme that the carer had completed during their first three months of employment.

A recommendation of good practice was made on this standard. The manager told us that staff supervision records were up to date and this was verified during random sampling of care workers files. The manager had shown us his planned programme of improvements in training and development of staff.

In discussion with care workers and the senior staff, and as supported in the relatives pre inspection questionnaires it was evidenced that
Buxton Lodge Care Home DS0000063422.V339159.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 the manager displays a strong ethos of being open and transparent in all aspects of the running of the home. The manager is service user focused and leads and supports a strong staff team who have been recruited and trained to a high standard. Documented evidence from service users/relatives meetings that highlighted areas of concerns raised by service users and relatives, with a time scale for actions was available for review. Although all service users were present on the day of the visit not all of them were able to answer questions asked by the inspector. However, those service users who were able to answer commented in a balanced way about the good things about the home such as the care they receive, the food, which they say is good and plentiful. The majority of them spoke about the cramped conditions of the lounge and that they were looking forward to the intended enlargement of the lounge. The inspector observed that service users were relaxed in the company of care workers and although the service users were not communicating with each other, they would smile at the inspector during attempts at conversation.
