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

Chelston Park provides a well-maintained, secure and comfortable environment set in lovely grounds, which meets the needs of the current client group. The home is being redecorated and refurbished to a high standard and continues to improve. The lounges and now the dining room are attractively finished and provide very attractive, pleasant and comfortable communal space. The home has a stable core team of staff and a dedicated staff trainer. There is a strong commitment to staff training and development for all staff. The nursing staff promote and support the care staff undertaking NVQ qualifications and modern apprenticeship. The homes environment is improving. Hand gel for staff hand cleansing is made available throughout the home; this is a commendable good practice measure for infection control.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The conservatory has been redesigned and now has a chalet style wooden roof. This is a great improvement and has enhanced the dining room, which previously was very bright on sunny days and in the summertime very hot as well. This dining room was seen in use, it was much more useable, attractive and more comfortable for service users.

What the care home could do better:

Some improvements have been made to the environment and processes for improving infection control. The home was appraised at this inspection and there are still areas where investment can be made to improve the infection control risk. One example would be replacing the carpet in one bathroom/ toilet facility with an impermeable washable floor covering. Remedial cleaning work identified on day one of this inspection had received attention by the second day, for example in the laundry room. The homes management have previously undertaken an infection control audit of the home, a similar exercise is recommended to highlight any weaknesses and bring them into an planned improvement strategy in line with the home homes business planning. This is recommended at this inspection.

The treatment room door was seen wedged open for the passage of the trolley; this room should be kept locked when not in use. The Medication Administration Records were seen, these were completed to a good standard. All hand transcribed entries had two signatures. The medications fridge was locked and the temperature is checked and recorded each day, this was within a safe range. Chelston Park Nursing Home DS0000003249.V284605.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15.

Another service user with special dietary needs commented that they are able to choose from a selection of home made desserts. Teatime was observed on the second day of the inspection. Staff were seen to be assisting more than one service user at a time with their meal. The impression was that this was well meaning and common practice. Staff should be reminded to attend to the service users one to one for dignity, safe practice and to ensure that the service users experience at meal times is the best possible. The inspector was shown the kitchen; it was clean, tidy and well organised on the day of inspection. Home baking was evident.

The conservatory and dining space has been refurbished since the last inspection to a high standard and provides attractive and more useable dining and living space. The home is being steadily upgraded. The plans for the laundry and kitchen to be refurbished are on hold pending the development of the bungalow site. Chelston Park Nursing Home DS0000003249.V284605.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 The existing laundry room has been given extra storage in a small room across the corridor, which was converted for this purpose. Whilst not ideal, as it does not have a tanked and washable floor covering nor tiled and washable walls, it is an improvement. Clean laundry is folded in the corridor as the laundry room is very small, again this is not ideal and care must be taken with all manual handling. The laundry now has the Otex system to reduce the risk of cross infection and use low temperatures for washing. An ozone alarm is fitted and the ventilation has been improved. The laundry wash hand basin was accessible; a foot operated flip top bin would be preferable to the swing top type in use. The sluice rooms were seen, ideally both require a separate sink for hand washing. The ground floor sluice had a sticky floor, there was no separate wash hand basin and it is not tiled. It was used as a place for storing chemicals containers, vases, buckets and mops. An extension lead was seen in use for the machine, this was replaced by the second visit and the washer had been rewired. It was noted, as good practice that hand cleansing gel is available throughout the home. Bathplugs on lengths of soggy string were confirmed as having been replaced between inspection days, using a suitable material that is not permeable. The bathrooms were seen and it was noted that the Parker bathroom toilet seat was broken. The top floor bathroom toilet seat was badly marked; the first floor bathroom raised toilet seat was stained and required sufficient cleansing. One commode was also seen that required sufficient cleansing. The grounds are very attractive and are well maintained. The gardens were not in use as the weather was cold; the paths around the garden and the pond should be checked for safety prior to the warm weather. The building complies with the local fire and environmental health service requirements. The fire safety inspection reported on 19.01.06, a satisfactory standard of fire safety. Three requirements for attention were made and copied to CSCI. These should be met. Chelston Park Nursing Home DS0000003249.V284605.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 The home has a large communal lounge; the room is well appointed and comfortably furnished. The large dining area extends into the conservatory, which has been re roofed and refurbished to a high standard. This improvement has greatly enhanced the look of this room and made it much more useable. The home has appropriate domestic style lighting in the communal areas and had good ventilation. All windows above ground floor have been restricted in opening to a safe limit, in line with the Health and Safety requirements for Care Homes. Hot surfaces such as pipe work and radiators have been adequately guarded. Hot water temperatures were monitored ‘in house’ on a monthly basis. The home has an emergency lighting system and an outside contractor services this annually. There is a nurse call system through out the home. Chelston Park Nursing Home DS0000003249.V284605.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 18 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 consider all the above are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29,30 The home has a dedicated trainer and staff training is provided to a good level and meets the range of needs of service users. EVIDENCE: Staffing was adequate on the inspection days. The Registered Manager was available and there was also a Registered Nurse on duty on each day. Only one shift was reported to have required agency staff cover, because the homes staff usually choose to work any available extra shifts. Copies of duty rotas were sent to CSCI for this inspection and two weeks worked rotas were supplied as photocopies at the inspection, these indicated that minimum staffing levels were maintained. Domestic and catering hours also appeared adequate. Three relatives comment cards sent to CSCI indicated that in their opinion there is always enough staff on duty at the home. The homes Trainer met with the inspector and explained the current training at the home for their staff and the training given to students coming to work at the home on placement. The home reports having, 27 care staff, 12 have NVQ 2 this figure included three overseas trained staff. Two staff are studying NVQ 3. Four staff are Chelston Park Nursing Home DS0000003249.V284605.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 studying NVQ 2 and 4 NVQ 3, 4 staff are waiting to start NVQ 2 including one modern apprenticeship. 3 newly recruited staff will be starting their NVQ training after their first 6 months employment.
