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) 1,2,3,4 and 5 The home provides sufficient information to prospective service users about the services provided in the home Service users are provided with a written contract about the terms and conditions of living in the home. Detailed assessments of the care needs of prospective service users are completed prior to admission. Service users and their representatives are able to spend time in the home prior to admission. EVIDENCE: During this unannounced inspection 5 service users where interviewed and 2 relatives visiting the home. All of the service users stated that they or their representative had visited the home prior to admission. In addition 7 service user files were examined. Chamber Mount F54 F04 s60625 Chamber Mount un v240138 180705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 The service users guide produced by the home details most of the services available and how health and care needs will be met. Service users and their family commented that they where made aware of the home’s abilities through the referring social worker and because the home has a good reputation locally. Of the seven service user files examined all contained comprehensive assessments of the needs of service users. The most recent files also contained pre-admission assessments that had been completed by the manager prior to the person moving. This assessment helped to identify high-risk areas that needed to be considered prior to admission. In the case of one service user falling was a particular issue both at home and in hospital- it was pleasing to note that the home was able to introduce strategies that had substantially reduced the incidence of falls for this person. Service user contracts where examined and these detailed the terms and conditions of residency in Chamber Mount, and these are completed and signed under the understanding that the first month of occupancy is considered a trial period. Chamber Mount F54 F04 s60625 Chamber Mount un v240138 180705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 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 Comprehensive care plans developed from the needs assessments are in place for all service users. The health needs of service users living at Chamber Mount are met and service users general and specific health needs improve following admission to Chamber Mount. The homes medication policy and procedures protects means that medicines and dealt with safely. Service users are treated with dignity and respect in relation to personal and health care. EVIDENCE: Seven service user files were examined during the inspection process. All files contained detailed care plans outlining the action to be taken to ensure that health, personal and emotional care needs were met. A number of these care Chamber Mount F54 F04 s60625 Chamber Mount un v240138 180705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 plans had been signed by the service user or their representatives, therefore demonstrating some involvement in the process. More detail needs to be written in the daily reports relating to the experiences and condition of service users in relation to the support and treatment received. It was also clear from the records that care plans are reviewed and updated every 4 to 5 weeks. The service user records confirmed that health care professionals including opticians, dentists, podiatrist, nursing and general practitioner regularly attended service users for routine checks and specialist treatment or advice. Improvement in the health of service users was identified for three service users. The records demonstrated that service users regained skills and abilities due to their admission to the home, one person had previously experienced frequent falls and was considered at high risk of developing pressure sores, another was unable to remain continent, and a third suffered with debilitating oedema and pressure areas in her leg. In all cases it was possible to track the input and specialist health care provided by the home to improve the situation for these service users. The service user records also contained the outcomes of routine observations such as weight as a means of monitoring the general well being of service users. Initial nutritional screening of service users is undertaken. Medication policies and procedures met the required standard at the previous inspection. Observations made of service user being supported in taking medication and receipt of medication into Chamber Mount demonstrated that the policy was being followed. Over the course of the day it was possible to observe that service users were treated with dignity in relation to personal care. Service users at Chamber Mount appeared well groomed and supported to maintain a high standard of appearance. Discussion with service users indicated that staff ensured that privacy was respected. This was confirmed by the family members who where interviewed. One service user commented that, ‘The staff are very good- kind hearted, the young staff are thoughtful’. Chamber Mount F54 F04 s60625 Chamber Mount un v240138 180705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 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 and15 Chamber Mount provides opportunity for service users to participate in a variety of activities within the home, in the local community and further a field. Service users are able to voice their opinion and have choice over their lives. Mealtimes for independent service users are generally a pleasant experience however the experience of service users who require support while eating is not considered satisfactory. EVIDENCE: Charts maintained on behalf of the service user recorded their involvement in a variety of activities that included, board games; armchair exercises; sing-alongs; film evenings and entertainers. Those service users interviewed were content with the level of activities taking place in the home but commented that they would like more excursions, the last one having taken place around Christmas 2004. Service users were observed relating to each other in a positive manner and friendships have developed. Service users who shared bedrooms stated that this was a preference and did not want any changes. Service users stated that visitors could be received at time convenient to themselves and their visitors. This was confirmed by the visitors who where interviewed. One visitor Chamber Mount F54 F04 s60625 Chamber Mount un v240138 180705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 14 confirmed that she had visited at different times of the day without any problem. The spiritual needs of more independent service users were met, however, discussion with the service users identified that a Church of England Minister had not attended the home for a while and that this service was missed. Discussion with the manager confirmed that no action had as yet been taken to remedy this. The menu is varied and includes traditional meals including roast, grilled or braised meats with potatoes, cottage pie, meat pies; past dishes, fish and chips all served with two portions of vegetables. Teatime choices included home made soup; pies, salads, or sandwiches. On the day inspection lunch was stewed steak and dumplings, potatoes, cauliflower, swede and carrots followed by creamy rice pudding. This meal was sampled and thought to be tasty and nicely presented. Service users were observed for a brief period at lunch and again at teatime. There are two pleasant dining areas for more independent service users. In the afternoon fresh fruit was offered to all service users. Although the home caters well for the majority of the service users it was disappointing to find that little consideration was afforded to a service user who preferred a vegetarian diet. An alternative meal was not offered on this occasion, and there was no indication that a vegetarian alternative was routinely available. This was discussed with the manager and registered provider. In addition, diabetic alternatives seemed to lack imagination with the cook stating that the alternative for desserts was generally yoghurt or fruit. Service users requiring assistance to eat and drink revceive meals in the lounge area, sitting in easy chairs at tray tables. Service users neeeding assistance at mealtimes are served before everyone else. The assistance provided to service users appeared rushed as staff were either standing over or crouching down by the service users while they were offered support. This practice was discussed with the manager. A record of all the food served to service users is not consistently maintained.

The minutes of staff meetings indicated that fire safety issues where appropriately addressed in the home, in addition staff were able to detail the homes fire-safety protocol and stated that an external fire-safety course had been run for all staff. This was confirmed by the management team and corresponding certificates. The home provides bathing and toilet facilities in sufficient number to maintain and develop the independence of service users. There are two assisted baths and one newly installed fully adapted shower room. Although en-suite facilities are limited, all commodes were clean and washable floor protection provided to limit any lingering smells and prevent soiling. This precaution was effective in all but one bedroom. Throughout the day the new shower-room was extra warm and comfortable, and whilst staff stated that the best improvements to the home were the shower room and water heating system because service users can “have a shower whenever they want. “ During the inspection process all the bedrooms were inspected and all appeared comfortably furnished, and many contained furniture belonging to individual service users.
