Inspection on 20/04/05 for Catterall House

Also see our care home review for Catterall House for more information

This inspection was carried out on 20th April 2005.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. 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 has a group of staff who have worked there a long time, who encourage the new younger staff, and who are all keen to constantly raise standards. The residents spoken to said that they were happy to ask any of the staff if they needed something, and they always tried to help. Meals are home cooked, varied, with well-balanced choices. They are nicely presented, with mealtimes being pleasant and unrushed.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The information now being included in the care plans is more detailed, with instructions which tell staff how to care for each individual person`s needs. A care plan shows how the carer should look after all aspects of the residents needs. These include physical and emotional needs, medical needs and spiritual needs. It also shows what daily routines the resident prefers, their likes and dislikes, and what their goals in life are. Staff are now recording full detail of daily events, and making records confirming any action which has been taken which affects a resident. For example, the way one resident took her medication had to change, and the manager made a full report as to why, what the GP said, what the family said, and what the final agreement was. Storage of medication and medication records has improved, with one staff member now responsible for checking these. She has put effort into improving the systems used, and was keen to follow the practice advised, and make sure all staff record residents taking their medication one at a time. Recruitment procedures have improved; with the home`s own policy now being correctly followed. Application forms are completed, and reference and Criminal Records Bureau checks, and an interview, are done before new staff start. Collecting information from people about their opinions of the home has gradually improved. This has been ongoing, but never collected together so that everyone could see what the overall opinion was following the survey. A clear plan was made from the last survey, showing where people thought the home did well, and where they thought it could be improved. This should be shown to residents and their families.

What the care home could do better:

The manager needs to make sure that a good assessment of need is done before it is agreed that the home is the right place for a new resident. This is to make sure that the staff are able to care for that person in the right way, and try to improve their quality of life. The assessment of need is information gathered about the care needs of a possible resident so that a care plan, which is tailored to that individual person, can be drawn up. The Policies and procedures need to be looked at every year and updated and improved if need be. The procedures should describe what action staff should take in that home, in line with its policy. For example, the medication procedure is not correct as the system of giving medication has been changed, and the written procedure has not been changed. These procedures are for staff to refer to and follow if they are not sure of what to do, so must be correct. All staff are not clear on the emergency procedures in the home, so procedures need to be clear, detailed, and available for them to refer to. The activities programme has reduced over the past few months, and needs to develop again, providing opportunities for residents to join in activities both inside and outside the home. The owners need to maintain a consistent manager, who is registered with the CSCI, to make sure the home continues to improve.

CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection took place over eight hours, and was one of the two inspections, which must be made each year. Additional inspections may be made if necessary. The inspection was announced, in that the owners were aware that the inspection was to take place. Five additional unannounced visits have been made since the last announced inspection. Letters sent to the registered person following those visits can be obtained from the CSCI office on request. Staff and care records were inspected. Policies and procedures were viewed. Four staff on duty were spoken to, seven of the fourteen residents and two visitors were spoken to. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The information now being included in the care plans is more detailed, with instructions which tell staff how to care for each individual person’s needs. A care plan shows how the carer should look after all aspects of the residents needs. These include physical and emotional needs, medical needs and spiritual needs. It also shows what daily routines the resident prefers, their likes and dislikes, and what their goals in life are. Staff are now recording full detail of daily events, and making records confirming any action which has been taken which affects a resident. For example, the way one resident took her medication had to change, and the manager made a full report as to why, what the GP said, what the family said, and what the final agreement was.

She has put effort into improving the systems used, and was keen to follow the practice advised, and make sure all staff record residents taking their medication one at a time. Recruitment procedures have improved; with the home’s own policy now being correctly followed. Application forms are completed, and reference and Criminal Records Bureau checks, and an interview, are done before new staff start. Collecting information from people about their opinions of the home has gradually improved. This has been ongoing, but never collected together so that everyone could see what the overall opinion was following the survey. A clear plan was made from the last survey, showing where people thought the home did well, and where they thought it could be improved. This should be shown to residents and their families. What they could do better: The manager needs to make sure that a good assessment of need is done before it is agreed that the home is the right place for a new resident.

The assessment of need is information gathered about the care needs of a possible resident so that a care plan, which is tailored to that individual person, can be drawn up. The Policies and procedures need to be looked at every year and updated and improved if need be. The procedures should describe what action staff should take in that home, in line with its policy. For example, the medication procedure is not correct as the system of giving medication has been changed, and the written procedure has not been changed. These procedures are for staff to refer to and follow if they are not sure of what to do, so must be correct. All staff are not clear on the emergency procedures in the home, so procedures need to be clear, detailed, and available for them to refer to. The activities programme has reduced over the past few months, and needs to develop again, providing opportunities for residents to join in activities both inside and outside the home.

CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 8 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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 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 standard(s) 1, 2 and 3 People who are considering moving into the home are given sufficient information to allow them to make an informed choice about the home. In addition an assessment is carried out to ensure the home can provide the services required by the individual, but this is not always completed fully, which could mean that some residents needs would not be properly met. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service user Guide give useful information about the home, and is continually developing. Additional information is given to potential residents in easy to read documents, including brochures on things to think about when moving into a residential home, and on advocacy services. Individual records are kept for each of the residents, and all are provided with clear terms and conditions of their stay in the home. These are signed by the resident or their representative to confirm they have read it and agree with it. There is a set procedure in place for admitting someone to the home, and a pre-admission assessment form was seen on three resident files. These are used to check that the staff can give suitable care to each person before the CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 manager agrees that the home is the right place for them to live. This form was not completed at the time of the assessment on two of the most recent admissions, who had been transferred from another home, with most information being on the last home’s transfer documents. General notes had been made at the assessment. These notes were not detailed enough to identify the full care needs of the new residents. A relative of these residents said that she was aware that the admissions were made prior to full information being received, but had made sure she had discussed their needs with the manager. Staff spoken to were aware of the care needs of the identified residents following discussion with senior staff. One of the three files had complete pre-admission assessments available. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 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 standard(s) 7,8,9 and 10 Overall, the health and personal care needs of residents are met at this home. Residents benefit from the support of healthcare professionals. The recording of the administering of medication is not satisfactory, and residents are compromised by this poor practice. EVIDENCE: Individual plans of care are available, with evidence of progress in the content of these. They give clear instructions to staff of all aspects of health, personal and social care needs of the individual. The care plans were signed by the resident or their representative, to show that they were involved in deciding what the care needs were. Reviews are carried out regularly, but not all reviews are dated and signed by the person carrying them out. One resident case tracked was diabetic. His care plan recorded this, along with his dietary needs. The cook had a record in the kitchen of likes and dislikes, and of the residents’ diabetes, and she guided him in line with this. Staff spoken to were aware of his needs, “You have to watch him because he likes his food! We guide him with the foods which are best for his condition, and he’s happy to listen and follow our suggestions”. The resident was clear on what he could eat and said “ but I can sometimes have a treat, and the staff are careful. They tell me what I should have”. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 One new resident was mildly confused. Risk assessments had been carried out to identify problem areas, and to guide staff on what they should do if these problems arose. Significant events had been recorded of her having disturbed nights, and the manager had noted that these seemed to be linked to the resident’s medication. The G.P. was contacted, and following his advice, the timing of when the resident took her medication was changed. Following this, it was noted that her routines started improving. The residents relative said “ I’ve been impressed with the way staff deal with my parent’s difficulties, and addressed the medication issues with the G.P. They’re trying to get them into a daily routine, which they didn’t have before. The staff have really made a difference to my parents.” Records noted visits from G.P.’s, district nurses, chiropodists and the optician if required, making sure all health are needs are met. One resident said, “I said I’d like the doctor, so they arranged for him to come”. A medication policy is in place, which has not been updated, and so does not reflect the new monitored dosage system now in use by the home. Medication was correctly stored in a locked cupboard in a named locked room. A named member of staff has the responsibility of overseeing the ordering and storage of medication. All records were complete and up to date. Only named, trained, staff administer medication. Staff do not always record administration to each individual one at a time. Residents who wish to take their own medication can do so, following a risk assessment to show they are able to do this safely, and then the signing of a waiver to say that they have agreed to take full responsibility for it. A resident said that the staff “ always knocks on the door before coming in my room. It is my room after all!” Staff were seen to be polite and helpful to residents. One resident was anxious about a task he was unable to do. Care staff patiently put his mind at rest and organised the task to be completed by family members. The resident was included in the decisions and was listened to when he was concerned. He said “ I feel better now I know what’s happening and it will be alright”. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 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 standard(s) 12,13,14 and 15 Residents experience a good quality of life in this area. Meals were nutritious and mealtimes relaxed, which encourages residents to enjoy food and mealtimes. Some activities do take place in the home, but the programme needs to develop in order to enrich residents’ lives more fully. EVIDENCE: The individual files for the residents contain personal profiles, which record their likes and dislikes, and hobbies and interests. Residents discussed the occasional activities, “We sometimes have bingo”, and a relative added, “Dad’s been joining in a dominoes session”. Residents are encouraged to carry on with their own interests, and one lady was completing an embroidered wall hanging, while another enjoyed knitting. Videos and television are constant entertainments, and residents said that the occasional sing-a-long breaks up an odd afternoon. There is no regular programme of events, and activities depend on whether any staff are available. One resident said that they did not want to join in any activities, and was pleased that staff did not try to make her join in. Newspapers, books and magazines are always available, and were in plentiful supply in both lounges. One service user mentioned, ”You can sit where you want, but I always like this chair by the window.” Another added “ I go out and visit my sister CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 sometimes. Visitors call here all of the time”. This was confirmed by the entries in the visitor book by the front door. The sample meal taken was roast chicken dinner, with home made rice pudding or orange and lemon sponge and custard, and as many cups of tea as people wanted. People needing help with their meal were given help quietly by staff, with no attempt at rushing anyone. Music was playing gently in the background, so, as one relative described it, providing “a very calm, still, environment. Perfect for my parents”. A final comment from a gentleman over the dinner table “ The food’s good. She’s a good cook you know”. The cook involves herself in the wishes of the residents, and during the meal brought out what food was left to see if anyone wanted any more. A couple of people did, but the majority felt they had eaten enough. The cook plans a four weekly menu, with occasional changes if necessary. She considers individual tastes, and has catered for one person who enjoys curries by making one especially for them on occasion. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 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 standard(s) 16 and 18 Residents are confident that their concerns will be listened to and acted upon. Staff have an understanding of Adult Protection Issues, which protects residents from abuse. EVIDENCE: There is a complaints procedure in place, with a complaints book to record any complaints which may come to the managers’ attention. This also records the action taken in response to the complaint. Three complaints have been received by the CSCI over the past year. Two alleged poor care practices. One was upheld and one was not upheld. The third complaint was regarding low staffing levels at certain times, and was upheld. The complaints book recorded three complaints by residents to the manager. The records show full investigations were carried out, and reports were made by the manager, along with the outcome of the investigation and action taken. Two of these were not upheld, and one was partially upheld. All were completed to the satisfaction of the resident. The residents said they would “tell someone, any of the girls” if they were not happy with something. A staff member said “try and stop them telling you if they don’t like something!. We would rather they tell us if they want something because then we can put it right can’t we?” Staff spoken to knew about the Adult Protection procedure, and what to do if they were concerned about any resident. They said they would always act if they thought there were any problems, even if it was with other staff. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 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 standard(s) These standards were not inspected at this visit. EVIDENCE: These standards were not inspected at this visit. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 considers Standards 27, 29, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 27,29 and 30 The home operates a good recruitment policy, which ensures that only people who are suitable for this type of work are offered an appointment. Training is provided and this means that residents are provided with appropriate care and attention. EVIDENCE: Three staff files of staff employed since the last announced inspection showed that the necessary recruitment checks had been carried out to ensure the protection of residents. References and Criminal Records Bureau disclosures were available. Notes of the interviews were made. All new staff receive basic induction training to make them aware of the procedures in the home, and more recent staff have attended the TOPSS induction course, as advised in the Care Homes Standards, which involves more comprehensive training in the provision of care. Staff are a mix of long term and experienced, and young and enthusiastic, and include professionally qualified overseas staff, who are working at the home as carers. Training to NVQ Level 2 and 3 is ongoing, with two of the nine staff (22 ) having achieved Level 2, and three more presently attending. One member of staff has almost completed NVQ Level 3. Short courses are found for staff to attend, and include a Diabetic Day Course, Basic Food Hygiene, Dementia and Food, Basic First Aid, Continence training, Skin Care and Eye Care. Staff are taking part in a Falls Prevention Programme and Health and Safety Distance Learning. Certificates of the courses attended were found on the staff files. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 Residents spoken to said, “the girls are very kind, but they are always busy. They do try to come to help as soon as they can, if you need them”. A relative said that she felt confident in the abilities of the staff, and that she could approach any of them if she had a query or a concern. The rota showed which shifts staff were working each day. Staff said that they occasionally may stay past the end of their shift to make sure enough staff were on duty. This information was not added to the rota, which consequently looked as though the home had low staff levels at some periods of the day. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 31, 33,35 and 38 Inconsistent management of the home has resulted in some practices which do not promote the health, safety and welfare of the residents. The present manager has a vision for the home, leads by example, and ensures residents receive a consistent, good, standard of care. EVIDENCE: There is no registered manager, which has been the case since the owners took over the home three years ago. There have been four managers in post in this time, whose registration for manager applications were terminated by the owners for various reasons. The present appointed manager is a long-term employee of the home, having held the post of senior carer. She is due to complete NVQ Level 3, and intends to achieve the Registered Managers Award, which she must hold in order to enable her to be registered with the CSCI, as required by the Care Homes Regulations 2001. CATTERALL HOUSE F57-F09 S9690 Catterall House V173959 200405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 20 A relative said, “ I’m impressed with the management of the home. The attitude rubs off on the staff”. A service user stated “(The manager) will sort things out for you. She’s very nice”. Some residents were not sure which staff member was the manager. A survey by questionnaire for residents and relatives has been improved, and a graph clearly showing the results and where the home could develop has been produced. This has not been available to the people taking part. Ongoing feedback is encouraged, with survey forms left on the hall table, next to a large Suggestion Box. The resident given a weekly allowance was happy in the way it was done, with records signed by her and the manager. She said “ If they’re a bit late giving it to me I go and ask them for it”. A safe is available in the office, and all receipts are kept from visits by, for example, the chiropodist and hairdresser. Full audited accounts were seen for the home, and insurance cover was in place. The Policies and procedures are available, with no indication that they are regularly reviewed. Policies and instructions for the completion of tasks by staff are together and could cause confusion. The fire policy discusses how to prevent fire, and a basic Fire Safety procedure is on the wall in the hall. Fire safety is part of the induction training of staff, but not all staff were clear on what action to take on discovering a fire.
