This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection took place on the 18th December 2006. The inspector toured the home and met with seven of the fifteen residents, a visitor, two care staff and the registered manager. Care plans and risk assessments were sampled and records seen included those for medication, complaints, accidents, staff training and staff recruitment. Prior to the visit to the home information was gathered from previous inspections and information received regarding the service. Service users at the home wish to be known as residents and this has been respected when writing the report. What the service does well:
The atmosphere at the home was warm and relaxed. Residents spoken with said that they liked living there and one commented that ‘it was the best home in the south’. Residents said that the staff were ‘lovely’, ‘wonderful’ and ‘kind’ and they felt they were treated with respect at all times. Good interaction was observed between staff and the residents. A visiting relative said that she was very satisfied with the care provided at the home for her relative. Prospective residents are asked to spend time at the home for a care needs assessment to be undertaken to ensure the home can meet their care needs. The home’s Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide provides clear information about life at the home. The care needs assessment forms the basis for the individual care plans. Care plans sampled were detailed and contained risk assessments for daily living and social activities. The home has clear procedures in place for dealing with medicines and staff receive training in the safe handling of medicines. Residents are offered a varied programme of activities and are able to receive visitors as they wish. All residents spoken with said that they enjoyed the meals provided and there were comments of ‘ the food is always good’. Residents feel that any complaints would be taken seriously and acted upon quickly, although all said that they had never had cause to make a complaint and one said that ‘they had no complaints whatsoever’. Chesterholm Residential Care Limited DS0000064256.V319568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 All residents spoken with said that they liked their rooms and those seen contained many personal items such as pictures, photographs and ornaments. Residents said that they were able to choose which of the lounges they preferred to use. Building work is taking place at the home to provide an extension, with new office space, laundry and large conservatory. A resident said that the registered manager kept them up to date with the work and they were looking forward to using the new conservatory. Residents said that they felt there were sufficient staff on duty and that staff came quickly when called. The registered manager said that staffing levels were flexible to meet the changing level of needs of the residents. Staff said that they were encouraged to attend training sessions and obtain qualifications. Six of the care staff hold National Vocational Qualifications level 2 or above and four more are due to start the course. Also another carer is a trained nurse from overseas working as a carer at the home. The registered manager operates an open door approach to management and residents felt they were able to talk to her at any time about the quality of care provided at the home. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Staff records seen indicated that one staff member had commenced work at the home prior to the completion of Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and Protection of Vulnerable Adult (POVA) checks being completed. The registered manager must ensure that at least a POVA First check is completed before staff commence work at the home to protect the safety of the residents.

The registered manager said that she would ensure at least a POVA first check was completed before the staff member returned to work. Records seen for two other staff members contained all the information required and CRB and POVA checks had been completed before they had commenced work at the home. The registered manager must ensure that no one commences work at the home until at least a POVA First check has been completed to protect the safety of the residents. Records seen indicated that staff had received training in medication, food hygiene, moving and handling and first aid. Some staff had also attended training in Dementia care and Diabetes.
