Date of last inspection 11th January 2005 Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 5 Brief Description of the Service: Church Green Lodge is a six bedded purpose built home offering short term care for up to six adults with learning disabilities. It is located in a residential area in the suburbs of Norwich. All of the accommodation is located on the ground floor. There is car parking to the front of the home and a sizeable enclosed garden to the side and rear. This resource is operated by Norfolk County Council Learning Disability Services. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 6 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was announced. Evidence was gained from discussion with the manager, staff and guests. (N.B as people come to Church Green Lodge for short breaks and holiday stays they are referred to as guests. This term is also, therefore, used in this report). A tour of the building was made and guests were observed chatting with each other and with the staff. A number of files and records were also looked at. At the time the inspection took place there were four guests staying overnight and one guest who was on an introductory visit who was staying for tea. Church Green Lodge has been inspected many times. It is not a home that the Commission receives complaints about. Parents and guests have always commented positively on the service it provides. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Regular checks such as weekly fire points must be carried out to make sure the fire detection system is working and guests are protected. Cupboards containing cleaning materials need to be kept locked when not in use to avoid accidents. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 7 Staff have identified the need for training in dealing with more challenging guests. This training should be arranged as soon as possible so staff feel more confident to offer a service. A record of their training should be kept at the home. When staff are employed a copy of their records such as references and evidence of Criminal Records Bureau checks need to be kept in the home so that inspectors can make sure staff are properly recruited and guests do not have unsuitable people helping them. The complaints procedure could be made easier to understand and an audio version provided as many guests could understand this. Old equipment should be thrown out and replaced. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users’ know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 2 & 4 Information is sought on guests prior to admission. This includes planned visits by guests and their parents and carers so that they can discuss issues and make sure their needs can be catered for. EVIDENCE: Church Green Lodge offers short-term respite placements, (usually weekends or Monday to Friday). Many of the guests coming to stay at Church Green Lodge will have been on previous stays and will be well known to the staff. Many of the guests know each other, either via their day services or from previous stays. Pre-admission information is sought from parents or carers and other sources if applicable. One example included information from a previous short-term care resource and contained previous risk assessments. This related to a prospective guest who was moving from using children’s services to using adult facilities. This guest was observed joining other guests for tea as part of an acclimatisation process. This guest was accompanied by a parent who was able to chat to staff about particular issues and was also able to stay for tea. The current manager is looking at how communication of new information about guests can be improved so that risk assessments can be updated on or just prior to admission. See also the comments on medication. From time to Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 time parents and carers are sent update forms to pass on any significant changes. A possible emergency admission was being planned for. In this instance the Social Worker delivered information by hand to the home and an advance visit by the prospective guest was able to be arranged with the guest’s day service. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 6, 7 & 9 Care plans require some culling to remove non-relevant information. A system needs to be established so staff have the most up to date information on guests when they arrive so that everyone is aware of any change in needs. Records and comments by guests reflect a flexible routine in which guests are fully involved in making choices. There is a friendly atmosphere with a focus on guests having a nice stay. EVIDENCE: Each guest has a brief care plan. Three of these were chosen at random to be looked at. As guests stay on a short-term basis care plans do not reflect long term goals, but do contain general descriptions of guests and specific needs and areas of risk. One file had a risk assessment checklist which had been completed a couple of days into the stay. Ideally this information needs to be in place at the commencement of placements given their short duration. (Refer to comments under ‘Choice of Home’ above. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 The information recorded during a guest’s stay gives a good picture of their daily programme and activities they take part in. However, some of the information on file, (e.g. financial records in one instance relating to 2001), is outdated and should be removed and archived. See recommendation. The daily record reflects a flexible routine which was backed up by discussion with staff and guests. Waking and going to bed times, for example, vary from person to person, though many of the guests continue to attend their day services during the week and rising times will reflect this. From observations and discussions with staff and guests the atmosphere at Church Green Lodge is relaxed and informal. On this, as on previous inspections, there is an emphasis on providing guests with a pleasant stay. A parent reported in their reply to a questionnaire from the Commission that “I am very happy with the care my daughter receives at Church Green Lodge. The staff are always happy to talk and help where necessary”. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 14 & 17 Where possible guests are consulted about leisure activities and are consulted about meals. Guests are consulted about meals and said they like the food on offer. EVIDENCE: Activities, both in-house and external, will be decided upon informally between guests and staff. For example, the previous evening staff and guests had decided upon a visit to Great Yarmouth. One guest was observed doing a crossword with help from a member of staff and another guest. Guests can watch television if they wish or videos. Some guests attend evening clubs on a Monday and Thursday and there was one example of a guest deciding not to attend. Other activities may include meals out, going to the cinema and bowling. One guest stated that he had been to stay many times. He said “ I like it here. It makes me happy”. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 Activities may be restricted as they are dependent on the availability of staff. It was reported that at weekends there will ideally be three staff on duty enabling some guests to go out and others to stay in if they wish or to accompany staff shopping, but this isn’t always the case. The manager reported that there were current attempts to negotiate the use of a minibus with a tailgate lift at weekends that can accommodate wheelchair users on trips. Mealtimes are flexible and fit in with the activities of the day. Guests are asked what they would like for main meals and there is always fruit available in the kitchen area in a bowl. Special dietary needs are displayed in the kitchen on cards for particular guests. Guests said they liked the food. The evening meal was displayed on the board in the dining area. This consisted of sausage casserole, vegetables and potatoes followed by trifle. The food served looked very appetising and was freshly prepared. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18 & 20 Guests receive personal care which is geared to their needs of guests. Steps are being taken to improve the system in place for the safe management of medication to reduce the risk of mistakes being made. EVIDENCE: Guests are able to receive personal care and have appropriate adaptations. Service users may bring their own specialist equipment, though some equipment such as disabled access bathing and toilet facilities are in place. Full disabled access is available throughout the building. There is a mixture of both male and female staff. A staff member reported that where gender issues arise, for example, if a female guest feels uneasy with a male member of staff on at night, then a female member of staff would be provided. This would also apply to intimate personal care needs. Many of the guests are able to manage their own personal care needs and are able and encouraged to do so. Baths and showers are available as frequently as desired. The way in which medication is managed is currently being looked at with particular regard to how it is brought into the premises at the commencement of a guest’s stay and the Commission’s pharmacy inspector has been Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 requested to offer some advice on this process. Traditionally medication has come into the home in a variety of different storage formats pre-prepared by parents and carers. This creates the opportunity for errors to occur. A system is being devised where medication can be provided in original containers in quantities that cover the period of the stay for each guest. Each guest has a medication administration record on their file which the staff complete. Medications are kept in a secure cabinet, though this may have to be replaced by a larger one in the near future to accommodate the separate storage of each guest’s medication. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 22 & 23 Guests feel their complaints are listened to and recorded, but a clear record of action taken needs to be kept. The staff are clear about adult protection matters and the processes in place to protect guests. EVIDENCE: A complaint file is kept. Several matters were recorded. Examples included a guest being disturbed during the night by another guest and a guest who wanted to go shopping on one occasion, but was unable to as there was no third member of staff available. It is good practice to record these matters, (and this implements a recommendation made in a previous regulation 26 visit report), but the record should also reflect any remedial action taken as a result. See recommendation. Guests and/or their carers also receive a written copy of the complaints procedure. Discussion took place about providing a simplified form in audio format which many of the guests would be able to understand. See recommendation. A vulnerable adult protection policy is in place. A member of staff reported that the staff group had undertaken training on this topic in April of this year. This included the indicators of abuse, what to look out for, the procedure to follow and the agencies to inform. It also dealt with issues relating to confidentiality and abuse allegations. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24, 25 & 30 The building is designed to meet the needs of guests with disabilities and wheelchair users. The safety of guests must be protected by ensuring all cleaning materials are securely locked up. EVIDENCE: Church Green Lodge is purpose built and allows free disabled access throughout the building. A tour of the premises was made. The communal areas are furnished with armchairs and settees and have television, video and DVD equipment for the use of guests. Pictures and ornaments give a homely domestic feel to the environment. The building was clean and tidy throughout with no trace of any unpleasant odours. In some areas, such as bedrooms, the paintwork is reaching the point where consideration could be given to a programme of redecoration where walls have been scuffed by beds and chairs. See recommendation. The cupboard containing cleaning chemicals was not locked. See requirement. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 There is a well kept enclosed garden, though some of the garden furniture has seen better days. Bedrooms are suitably furnished, though due to the short duration of each guest’s stay they are not personalised. One of the bedrooms had an old plastic chair instead of a comfy chair. This should be replaced. There were also some commodes that were rusty in places and need to be replaced. See recommendation. There are suitable bathroom and shower facilities. The shower in the main bathroom did not turn off properly resulting in considerable dripping. The manager is intending to have this remedied. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 32, 34, 35 & 36 Guests are currently well supoprted by staff that is sufficient. However staffing will need to be flexible if more challenging guests are accommodated. Guests benefit from being cared for by staff that are trained. An ongoing training programme is in place, but specific training relating to challenging behaviours will need to be implemented to ensure staff feel confident about being able to meet the needs of guests. Although there was no evidence that guests are not protected by the homes recruitement practices, the records relating to the employment of staff need to be made available so that the Commission can see that all reasonable checks are being undertaken and that guests are protected. EVIDENCE: The numbers of staff on duty can be flexible and the manager has a pool of 600 additional staff hours, (per year), which can be utilised if required. This can include additional night staff if needed. The manager and staff reported that there is an increase in the number of guests who have more challenging behaviours. The manager is aware that staffing levels must be geared to the needs of guests accommodated at any particular time. At the time of the Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 21 inspection the staffing, (two staff on duty), was sufficient for the four guests accommodated. The manager is currently undertaking NVQ 4. Two staff are undertaking NVQ 2 and two staff are undertaking NVQ 3. Staff are able to sign up for other training courses. Training in core topics such as fire, moving and handling and food hygiene are in place and refresher courses are provided where necessary. An ‘advocacy open morning’ is scheduled for 24th June for staff to learn more about advocacy for guests. A team day is also planned for July. One of the issues raised by staff concerned their lack of training in dealing with guests who may have challenging behaviours, as this is a departure from the guests traditionally accepted within Church Green Lodge. This has been raised previously in the regulation 26 visit reports and needs to be addressed if such guests are to be accommodated in the future. See requirement. The home needs to keep a record of the training each member of staff has undertaken. See requirement. Staff recruitment records such as references, evidence of Criminal Records Bureau checks and evidence of identity were not available and the manager reported that these records were now kept at another location. See requirement. The manager reported that she undertakes all supervision sessions with staff and a copy of the supervision format was produced. A member of staff reported that she received supervision now that the new manager was in place. Church Green Lodge I55_35060_churchgreenlodge_227425_150605_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 42 There was evidence that the health and welfare of guests was generally well protected with a need to ensure that fire checks are done every week. EVIDENCE: The fire record was checked. The fire alarm system and the fire fighting equipment have been serviced recently. However, there are some instances where a weekly check of a fire point has not been undertaken. See requirement. A person turned up at the home during the inspection to carry out a fire risk assessment on behalf of the county council. The accident record was checked. It was up to date. A variety of policies are in place, for example, for dealing with missing person incidents, confidentiality of information, incident reporting and whistle blowing.
