What the care home does well

The home provides personal care for older people with mental health disorders in a relaxed and friendly environment. Residents have access to a well-maintained secure rear garden, which includes a sensory garden, and are able to walk to a pond in the grounds, which has attracted wild ducks. A variety of social and leisure activities have been planned and residents have a choice of whether to participate in these or not. The activities programme includes outings to local venues twice a week in a minibus provided by the company, which owns the home. The standard of care planning is comprehensive and addresses the assessed ongoing care needs of the residents. The home shows a commitment to staff training with 44% of the staff achieving the National Vocational Qualification level 2 or 3 in care. Housekeeping and catering staff also have the opportunity to take a National Vocational Qualification relevant to their role. Other training includes the mandatory health and safety training and training relating to the care needs of the residents in the home. The chef has provided a menu book, which shows photographs of all the choices of meals provided by the home. This is extended to the dining room where the daily menu displayed on the walls has photographs of each meal to be served that day, this allows residents who have severe cognitive impairment to be confident in their choice of food that day. Both the lunch and supper meals were seen on the day of inspection, and all meals including pureed diets, were very well presented which encouraged residents to eat. The tables in the dining room were set with table linen, condiments and tea and coffee pots at each meal. All residents spoken with were very complimentary about the food.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Staff now receive regular supervision, with most staff receiving this at two monthly intervals. Decoration and maintenance in the home is ongoing and rooms are redecorated and in some instances re-carpeted when a resident leaves. Safety issues raised in a fire officer`s report have now been addressed with modifications made to the doors to comply with the requirements made.

What the care home could do better:

The Service User Guide does not comply with the regulations, as it is not in a format suitable for the residents in the home, neither does it include details of the staff in the home as required by the National Minimum Standards and regulations. The complaints procedure, also required by regulation to be included in the Service User Guide, is not in a format that is suitable for the use of residents in the home. Risk assessments in the care plans did not include sufficient guidance for staff to minimise risk to residents. Wheelchairs were seen being used without footrests, which may lead to residents` feet getting trapped under the chair. The manager said that there is a lack of available wheelchairs and footrests in the home. Parts of the home, especially corridors and communal areas were malodorous; action should be taken to rectify this. Comments were received regarding the odour in the home both in comment cards, verbally from relatives and it was noticeable during the inspection. Management should ensure that the external part of the building is kept in a good state of repair to ensure the safety of residents, staff and visitors. The staff room is accessible to residents and this has a sky light window, which is on a sloping ceiling that a resident could climb out of, action should be taken to address or minimise the risk.

This unannounced key inspection took place on the 1st November 2007 over a period of six hours and was facilitated by Mrs D Holmes, registered Manager. Judgements made at this inspection were made by touring the home, examining various records, which included care plans, medication records personnel files, staff training records, health and safety documents and catering documentation. Interaction between staff and residents was observed and eight residents, three visitors and six members of staff were spoken with. The CSCI requires services to complete and return an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment; this identifies the current status of the home and the achievements of the home in the past twelve months and plans for the future. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment received accurately stated developments that had taken place in the service and the areas which the manager wishes to improve. Prior to the inspection, questionnaires were sent to residents and relatives and twenty six were returned, these provided information about the daily life in the home and whether this was meeting the needs and expectations of the residents in the home. Generally the comments made were favourable with residents and relatives stating that ‘the home is more than satisfactory in looking after my relative, there are activities and she is well fed, clean and healthy’. ‘ Nice meals, the care is good and I am happy here’. ‘ Would find it helpful to have a monthly meeting regarding my relatives progress, good variety of food and the trips out and activity mornings are excellent’. ‘ My children told me about this home and the care is really good’. However some comments were also made about the perceived lack of staff at weekends and the perceptible odour in the home at times. Two health care professionals were visiting the home on the day of the inspection and both stated that the thought the standards of care in the home were ‘good’ with one saying that ‘ the home manages the residents well without the need to administer a lot of medication’.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,4,5,6 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area The information produced by the home informs representatives of prospective residents about the home, but is not produced in a manner that would be of use to the individuals being admitted to this home. Thorough preadmission assessments take place, which will confirm whether the home can meet the needs and expectations of the individual. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose complies with the regulations, and is available on request. Prospective residents or their relatives receive an information pack prior to their admission to the home. This is currently referred to as the Service User Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Guide, but does not meet the criteria for this document as required by the National Minimum Standards and regulations. The manager or a senior member of care staff assesses residents prior to their admission to ensure that the home is able to meet their needs and expectations. Three preadmission assessments were examined and these were comprehensive, addressing the psychological, physical and social needs of the individual, providing sufficient information to be used as a basis for the care plan. Residents and their representatives are encouraged to visit the home and are initially admitted for a four-week trial period. Following admission all residents receive a copy of the Terms and Conditions of residence. The home admits residents for both permanent and respite care but not for intermediate care. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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): 7,8,9,10,11. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. Care plans are reviewed regularly to ensure that the care that residents receive is relevant to their current needs, there was no evidence that residents or their representatives are involved in the formation of the care plans. The standard of medication administration safeguards the residents with the staff aiming to maintain residents psychological health without recourse to sedative medication. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Four residents care plans (10 ) were examined. These were quite comprehensive particularly around physical care needs and to a lesser extent Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 psychological needs; there was sufficient documentation to inform the staff of the key behavioural issues involved. Care plans had been reviewed monthly but there was no evidence of resident or relative involvement and this was highlighted by comment cards received by the CSCI and comments received by two relatives spoken with during the inspection. Care plans contained a good amount of information relating to nutritional, personal care, wound care and continence care needs, with clear instructions to staff on how to meet these needs. The instructions to guide carers on the giving of personal care were not so clear in some care plans and risk assessments did not give sufficient guidance to staff on minimising risk. Daily records were in place and these showed that care staff were giving the care in accordance with the instructions in the care plan. The home has a retained General Practitioner and a retained Psychiatrist Community Psychiatric nurses are brought in as required and on the day of inspection a review of a resident was taking place with a visiting Psychiatrist, the Community Psychiatric nurse made positive comments about the home as did the homes’ regular psychiatrist who was also visiting on this day. There is a visiting Dentist, Optometrist and Chiropodist and District Nurses and Continence Nurse Specialists are accessed as required. Some wheelchairs were being used without footrests, although the home has policies to prevent this. The manager stated that many footrests were broken and that they were no longer provided with wheelchairs by the relevant authority. The manager should ensure that residents’ safety is maintained in this area. Residents were being treated in a dignified, understanding and respectful manner. Records of medication supply, disposal and administration were complete, all medications signed for on administration. Medication administration practices observed safeguarded the residents. Eye drops and other external medication should be marked with the dates of opening. Care staff that take responsibility for administering medication have undertaken a recognised training course, and have also received extended training which includes the administration of eye drops, ear drops and some other invasive procedures. The manager and the senior care staff have received training in blood glucose monitoring. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The manager and two senior care staff are undertaking training to implement the Liverpool care pathway and Gold standards framework in the home and one care staff has attended training on terminal care.

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.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home offers a range of activities that are provided both mornings and afternoons during weekdays by an activities co-ordinator. There is an activities programme in place and residents receive a copy of this with records being kept of the activities taking place and residents who have participated. A sensory garden has been added to the home and residents can walk in this as they wish. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Residents spoken with said that they were able make choices over how they wished to spend their day and their times of rising and retiring. There is an open visiting policy with visitors able to participate in activities if they wish, Ministers of religion visit the home to see individual residents All residents spoken with, and comment cards received, confirmed that the standard of catering was good. Information for residents on menus is presented in a pictorial booklet along with the written menu and this is kept in the entrance hall. The chef produced this and he has won an award for this piece of work. Photographs of the meals for the day are put on menu boards in the dining room. This allows residents to make choices about what they wish to eat, there being three choices at lunchtime and two at supper. The chef said that he involves residents in putting up the daily photographs. Menus are changed on a monthly rolling basis and were seen to be nutritionally balanced and are based on information from the people living in the home. There were sufficient fresh fruit and vegetables, and homemade cakes are offered at tea and coffee times. Sandwiches are made up for the night staff to give out to residents. A cooked breakfast is offered daily. The presentation of meals, including pureed meals, was exceptionally good and dining room tables were set with tablecloths, napkins, condiments and teapots.

Residents and visitors to the home are confident that any concerns they may have will be dealt with in an open and satisfactory manner. The complaints procedure is not produced in a format, which promotes ease of use, by residents. Staff are aware of their responsibilities regarding the safeguarding of those in their care. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Three minor complaints have been received since the last inspection and substantiated. Complaints had been addressed within the timescales, and full information and records were available. The complaints policy, whilst being comprehensive and displayed around the home, is not in a format which is easily understood or read by residents to facilitate them being able to make a complaint. Some residents and one relative spoken with were aware that they could take concerns to management, but they were unaware of the complaints policy or how to make a complaint above the line of home manager. However all residents and Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 relatives said that they felt confident that concerns raised would be dealt with in a satisfactory manner. The manager has said that she will address this. The staff and management have undertaken training in the safeguarding of adults and staff spoken with were aware of the correct reporting protocols and their responsibilities towards those in their care. There have been two incidents requiring reporting as adult safeguarding issues. Both of these related to incidents between residents, and were adequately dealt with by the manager following consultation with the relevant authority. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,20,21,22,24,25,26. People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area Whilst the home provides a spacious, clean and homely environment for residents, odours are apparent in some areas of the home. Some aspects of maintenance and safety to not fully protect the residents living in the home. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The entrance to the home is attractive with a duck pond and pathway around it. Further garden areas consist of an enclosed lawn and sensory garden. Both gardens were well maintained. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 There is a maintenance programme in place but tiles were missing from the roof, and the manager said this was a long-standing problem; a tile fell from the wall of the house onto the area in front of the building during the inspection. Parts of the home have been redecorated but the carpets in some communal areas of he home appeared well worn. Resident’s accommodation was clean and comfortable and lockable doors and drawers were provided. Five of the rooms have ensuite facilities consisting of a toilet and bath. Other rooms are adjacent to bathrooms and have a washbasin in the room. Water temperatures of washbasins and baths are monitored on a regular basis with records showing that these were within recommended parameters. Residents’ rooms had windows that had restricted opening but the staff room has a sky light which is easily accessible to residents and has unrestricted opening, this could put residents at risk, and the manager said this would be addressed. The home has moving and handling aids which includes two full body hoists and one standing hoist and there are assisted baths and grab rails in the bathrooms. The lack of wheelchairs with footrests results in residents having to wait until an appropriate wheelchair is free. There were some odours noticeable in the communal areas of the home although the standard of general cleanliness was satisfactory. The requirements made at by the fire authority have now been addressed, but the door of one resident’s room was wedged open. The home has a ‘closed door’ policy and the manager should make arrangements to ensure this residents safety if the resident wishes for the door to remain open. The manager gave assurances that this would be addressed. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30.

Mandatory health and safety training takes place and staff are encouraged to participate in other relevant to the care of the residents admitted to the home. Four personnel files (20 ) were examined which showed that the recruitment system is generally robust, but there were discrepancies in the quantity of written references received in one personnel file. The manager gave assurances that this would be addressed. Clemsfold House DS0000014459.V353978.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38.

There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and there was evidence that the manager and staff were aware of individual circumstances and needs of the residents. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment required by the CSCI accurately identified the current status of the home. Residents and relatives receive questionnaires on an annual basis to enable them to make known their opinions and views of the services offered by the home, this opportunity is also offered to relatives at the monthly meetings held by the home.
