What the care home does well

Residents and relatives said they were very satisfied with the care and facilities provided. Typical comments included "The staff are kind and helpful; excellent quality of service, cannot speak too highly of the care that is provided at Church View; I`m well looked after and I`m happy here; the home is always welcoming and Mum`s room is very nice; Mum`s very comfortable, the care is good, it is a safe environment and staff are very approachable; there are regular reviews to which relatives are invited, plus a newsletter to keep everyone up to date with what`s going on; my health care needs are well taken care of and I can see the doctor or the nurse whenever I need to; the food`s very good and plentiful; you can visit at any time; the care`s good here." They liked their rooms and described them as comfortable and pleasant. Most residents said they enjoyed the meals and felt their preferences were well catered for. Residents and visitors get on well with the staff and would not hesitate to discuss any concerns or complaints with staff or management. They described a cheerful, happy environment. The home has lounges and dining rooms on each floor, which allow residents to meet in groups of various sizes for a number of social and recreational activities. The home is well equipped and generally well maintained. Staffing levels and staff training are good. Over 90% of care staff have achieved National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) in care at either level 2 or 3, which is commendable. There is a friendly, welcoming atmosphere. Management are keen to receive comments from residents and others about the quality of service provided by the home. The service is well run (although still in a period of transition, whereby documents and procedures are being amended in keeping with the new provider`s methodology) and the information provided to residents and prospective service users is detailed and explicit.

What has improved since the last inspection?

This is the first inspection since the new provider (Southern Cross) was registered in March 2007. However, good progress has been made with complaints procedures, staff National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) and interior decoration.

What the care home could do better:

The registered manager needs to continue working towards her Registered Manager`s Award and qualification in care at National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) level 4; staff supervision needs to be more formalised; and reviews of care needs must be fully documented. Consideration should be given to providing an assisted bathing facility on the first floor, along with the current assisted shower room on this floor, in the interest of service user choice.

The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2 and 3. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents and their representatives have the information needed to choose a home that will meet their needs. They have their needs assessed and a contract which tells them about the service they will receive. EVIDENCE: Comments received from residents and relatives confirmed that full assessments of needs were carried out prior to admission to the home. They said there was enough information from which to make a choice about being admitted. A service user’s guide and statement of terms and conditions of residence are supplied routinely. These are helpful documents and the content is detailed and explicit. Care plans revealed comprehensive, detailed assessments of need being carried out both prior to admission and afterwards, as confirmed by members of staff and management. These assessments showed that the home only admitted people whose assessed needs it could meet. Intermediate care for the purpose of intensive rehabilitation is not provided at this home. Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10.

However, it was noted that some reviews of plans of care had not been fully documented in a minority of cases, due to the changeover of files and document formats to Southern Cross’s own, that was proving to be a considerable task, but being accomplished week by week. Also, there was evidence of appropriate equipment, such as a special bed, pressure relieving mattress and bed rails that had been subjected to written risk assessment. Staff training in Care (for example, National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) at levels 2 and 3) has included the important issues of privacy and dignity and over 90 of care staff have completed NVQ in care, which is commendable. There are good arrangements for the safe administration of medicines. All staff members responsible for medicines have completed Safe Handling of Medicines training. There is good support from a local Pharmacist who supplies most of the medication in monitored dosage blister packs. There are good storage systems and staff thoroughly check all medication when it is received into the home. The home requires medication to be administered only from the container(s) into which the pharmacist dispensed it originally. Medication is kept securely in lockable cabinets and trolleys. Residents may attend to their own medication, but in practice most prefer to delegate this responsibility to staff. The home is careful not to stockpile large quantities. Senior staff confirmed that medicine audits are carried out routinely and that the local pharmacist provides consultation and advice. Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15.

An activities organizer arranges and leads an impressive programme of social and recreational activities, including monthly religious services at the home for various denominations. There are good links with the wider community and the home holds several fairs and fund raising events each year, which are well supported. Residents, relatives and staff confirmed that relatives and friends Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 may visit at any reasonable time and are always made welcome.

Staff and management are aware of the need to safeguard adults from abuse or neglect and most have undergone training in these issues. Further training is planned for 2007-08. They are aware of the home’s ‘whistle blowing’ policy, which encourages staff to speak out about any suspected abuse. All staff members have had enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checks and Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) checks carried out as required by law. Also, two references are obtained in respect of each new employee, with special attention given to the last employment. This is to ensure that unsuitable people are not employed to care for vulnerable adults. Staff confirmed that new staff members go through induction and foundation training so that they have the right knowledge and skills to do their jobs competently. Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The physical design and layout of the home enables residents to live in a safe, wellmaintained and comfortable environment, which encourages independence. EVIDENCE: There were no unpleasant odours and the home was found to be clean in all the areas inspected. Most staff members have completed training in health and safety, fire safety, food hygiene and infection control. Residents said that they were pleased with the premises, finding them comfortable and homely as well as practical. They also described the home as being clean.

These rooms are well equipped with furniture and fittings appropriate to the needs of older people, including comfortable easy chairs and footstools. Service users are encouraged to personalise their rooms by bringing in ornaments, pictures and furniture if they wish. They are Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 also consulted about décor. On the first floor it was noted that the home is introducing coloured doors with brass numbers, knockers and simulated letterboxes, to promote orientation and individuality of residents. Also, the use of pictures, including ones that are tactile, and the display of pictures and handicraft produced by residents, in a ‘gallery’ section, aids orientation and promotes dignity. Although the home has a number of bathrooms and an assisted shower on the first floor, it does not have an assisted bathing facility on this floor. In practice, service users go downstairs to the assisted bathroom if they require a bath, as opposed to a shower. It is desirable to be able to offer residents an assisted bathing facility on each floor and the home is considering the provision of an assisted bathroom on the first floor. Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff in the home are trained, skilled and in sufficient numbers to fulfil the aims of the home and meet the changing needs of residents. EVIDENCE: On the day of inspection, the home had 41 residents and only four vacancies (two on each unit). Residents and relatives said that they got on very well with staff and all felt that there were sufficient numbers of staff to meet their needs, most of the time. This view was reflected in staff comments. Staff morale was reported to be good. During the day on the dementia care unit, there are 3 carers plus one senior care assistant on duty from 8 am to 8 pm. On the older persons’ unit during the day, there are also 3 carers plus one senior care assistant on duty. In addition, there is a dedicated activities organizer (25 hours per week) who works 5 days per week. The registered manager is full time, mainly Monday to Friday. A senior carer heads each shift on each unit and the home operates a deputy system, whereby two senior staff members deputise for the registered manager. A key worker system is in operation, with a named member of staff linked to each resident. The home employs a full time administrator each weekday. A maintenance man is available each weekday and there are dedicated catering and domestic staff deployed in sufficient numbers for the needs of the home. At night (8 pm to 8 am) there is one senior care assistant and 4 carers on duty across the whole home. A comprehensive staff training and development programme is in operation. Staff confirmed that they had undergone induction and foundation training.

Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 32, 33, 35 and 38. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The management and administration of the home is based on openness and respect. The service is run in the best interests of service users. The home has effective quality assurance systems developed by an experienced manager and competent management team EVIDENCE: The registered manager is experienced and competent in her role, with the support of the wider management team, including the visiting operations manager from Southern Cross, the full time administrator at the home, plus the contribution of the senior staff who deputise for the manager from time to time. Residents, relatives and staff spoke well of the manager’s accessibility and commitment to good outcomes for residents. She was described as being approachable and caring. She is working towards the Registered Manager’s Award and qualification in care at National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) level 4, although still has some way to go due to changes in her training provider, which have been beyond her control. Staff confirmed that they were Church View Residential Care Home DS0000069662.V343709.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 very well trained, supported and supervised, although not always in a formal sense. The manager is planning a full programme of staff supervision sessions for 2007-08, to be implemented with assistance from her deputies. Good accounting procedures are followed, with receipts and signatures obtained for all financial transactions involving residents’ personal monies, in which the home is involved, wherever practicable. Relatives look after the personal monies of many residents. In those situations where the home looks after residents’ monies, such as personal allowances, clear individual records are maintained. Residents have ready access to monies looked after for them by the home. Comments received from staff confirmed that there are good health and safety policies and practices that promote the health, safety and welfare of residents and also of staff. All staff members do refresher training in Health and Safety as required, such as moving and handling, fire safety and food hygiene. This helps reinforce the registered provider’s written policies on Health and Safety. Health and Safety issues are also discussed at regular staff meetings and in staff supervision sessions. Residents, relatives and staff expressed satisfaction with the way the home was run and the good standards that were evident in many instances. They said they believed the home was safe and run in the best interests of residents. For example, the home has introduced annual surveys of residents’ satisfaction and has a monthly newsletter and excellent notice board for communicating important issues concerning service users’ interests. The registered provider’s representative visits the home at least monthly to check on the welfare of residents and the progress of the home. The manager routinely invites comments and suggestions for improvements from both residents and visitors to the home, via regular meetings, surveys and consultations, including monthly evening surgeries.
