This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection was undertaken by an inspector reviewing all the previous inspection records available, looking at information provided by the acting manager about Clifton Manor and by undertaking a visit to the service with the inspector using a method called “case tracking.” “Case tracking” involves identifying individual service users who currently live at the home and tracking the experience of the care and support they have received during the time they have lived there. The inspector also checked that information provided by the acting manager matched individual experiences of the service user living at the home by talking with them and observing the care received. General records maintained by the home were looked at to ensure these were maintained and provided positive outcomes for service users. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
Additional screening has been ordered to ensure that service users privacy and dignity is maintained should they share a room. Work has been undertaken in the garden to ensure that service users are protected from falls or slips down the slope. The storage of wheelchairs has been addressed to ensure that these are not stored in service users rooms, thus ensuring service users personal space is not intruded upon.

Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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): 2,3 and 6 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are assured that their needs will be assessed and that staff can meet these before they decide to move into the home. As the current fees are not documented on individual service users terms and conditions there is confusion in what charges service users may incur. Some of the terms used in the terms and conditions do not consider service users rights. EVIDENCE: To ensure that staff are able to meet prospective service users needs, the manager or a registered nurse, visits them within the community to carry out an assessment prior to admission. There was evidence of this occurring within those case files seen and the most recently admitted service user had been properly assessed before admission. There was a copy of the assessment by Social Care, Housing and Health staff on the file and this had been received by fax before the date of admission indicating that the manager had an opportunity to assess whether a placement at the home would be appropriate.
Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Prospective service users may also visit the home and spend time there before they make a decision to move in. There was evidence of terms and conditions within those case files seen, however these did not state the cost of the care, nor the cost of any extra services not included in the weekly fees. There had been a concern raised that a charge of £7 an hour was being made for service users to be escorted to out patient appointments. This cost was not made clear within the terms and conditions or the homes Statement of Purpose, therefore people were not aware of this cost. When this was discussed with the manager, she stated that this was discussed verbally with service users and/or their relatives, however there were no records available to evidence this. When reading the terms and conditions of admission, terms which conflicts with what the service is saying within service users charter of rights were observed. These being; medication must be handed into staff and residents are asked to discuss any alcoholic drink requirements on admission and are advised that personal stocks of these items will be held by matron and available on request. Although staff spoken with were not directly involved in the preadmission process they were able to discuss how they were informed of the new service users needs during handover sessions. Intermediate care is not provided at the home and this standard is not applicable. Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Although minor improvements are required in regard to care planning, service users needs are met. Due to the lack of systems in place to ensure management plans are in place for all identified risks, service users are not fully protected. EVIDENCE: The majority of service users plans of care were personalised and reflected service users needs, however within two plans of care, a number of plans were of a pre-printed nature, which did not reflect individualism. For instance one plan stated to supervise a service user during the self-administration of medication, however they were in fact unable to do this themselves. When a risk to a service user had been identified, management plans were in place within the exception of the following; where one service user was using bedrails the risk of entrapment had not been addressed, thus leaving the service user at a potential risk. In another plan of care where oxygen was in use there was no management plan to ensure service users and staff were protected from potential risks such as explosion when using oxygen. There was evidence of reviews taking place on a regular basis, however within one plan of
Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 care where there had been significant changes this had not been reflected within the plan of care. On discussing this with the manager and staff they were aware of the changes that had taken place and therefore were offering care as required. There was evidence available within plans of care to show that service users have access to relevant health care service such as, the doctor, dietician, speech and language therapist and physiotherapist as required. The manager stated that good relationships were maintained and services were liaised with when required and any specialist equipment obtained. During the brief tour of the home, there was evidence of specialist equipment in use such as mattresses and cushions to aid comfort and reduce the risk of pressure sores. One service user spoken with said, “I can see the doctor when in need to, I have not long seen the optician.” Staff spoken with were able to discuss the importance of ensuring that relevant equipment was in place to prevent tissue break down. Appropriate policies and procedures are in place for the administration of medication. The registered nurses on duty administer all medication and blister packs are used to reduce errors in medication administration. Medication arrangements were documented within service users plans of care and these were in depth in regard to specialist administration such as administering it through a tube that leads directly into the stomach. Staff spoken with were able to discuss how they ensure that service users privacy and dignity are maintained and gave examples of how they support service users with personal care. Additional screens have been ordered for shared rooms to ensure that services privacy and dignity is maintained whilst receiving personal care. Service users spoken with all stated that staff were very kind and caring and that they felt listened to. One service user said, “the staff are very good, they help me when I need it, they are respectful and care for me as I like it.” Good relationships were observed between staff and service users throughout the visit. Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Daily Life and Social Activities
The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,4 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are enabled to participate in activites should they wish and once more are available this will offer service users more choice and variety. Staff understand the importance of maintaining relationships which service users value and ensure that any visitors are welcomed into the home. EVIDENCE: A new activites coordinator is currently being recruited in line with the recruitment policies and procedures. Whilst waiting for the necessary checks to be made a member of staff is currently offering activites to service users. These include activites such as reminiscence; dominoes and old time music and one to one time to spend talking. Outside entertainers such as a band also visit the home on a regular basis. Staff spoken with stated that activites take place in the afternoons and they felt that service users enjoyed these. During the visit a large number of service users spent time sleeping and were not occupied, there was background music playing but no other stimulation. It is felt by the manager that this issue will be addressed once the new activites organiser is in place, as there will be more dedicated time for spending with service users. One service user said, “there are some activites available, however I tend to occupy myself or go out for a walk with my family.” Another said “I enjoy sitting here quietly and watching people that go by the windows.”
Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Staff stated that the routine of the home was flexible and service users if able may spend their time as they wish, three service users spoken with confirmed this. There are no restrictions imposed on visiting so that service users are enabled to maintain meaningful relationships with their families and friends. Staff spoken with explained how relatives are supported especially during difficult times when people may be unwell. Staff were observed to maintain good relationships with relatives and also to respond to any requests made. One service user spoken with said that, “I often have visitors and I can see them in private if I want.” To ensure that service users have more choice and control in regards to their personal care there is now documentation within service users files to record their preferences in regard to gender. There are no residents from Minority Ethnic Groups living at the home, though the staff are from a variety of cultural backgrounds and several speak languages other than English. This means the service has the potential to provide a better service to people whose first language is not English. Staff spoken with discussed how they felt it was important to recognise that each service user is different and they have different needs and preferences, they felt that it was essential to spend time getting to know each service user so that they can offer them the care that they want. A wholesome and varied menu is on offer and choices and special diets such as diabetic, vegetarian and soft diets are available at each meal. Service users spoken with said that food was at a good standard and they had plenty to eat. Service users sit in the dining room during meal times and are assisted by staff in an appropriate manner if required. Staff spoken with were able to discuss the importance of ensuring that service users special diets are maintained thus ensuring their personal needs are met.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users and their family are assured that concerns and complaints will be listened to and acted upon. Systems in place and a well-trained staff team ensure that service users are protected from abuse. EVIDENCE: The complaints procedure is displayed in reception so that relatives and visitors can read it, this is in an easy read format to aid understanding for those service users who may have communication difficulties. The service has received three complaints since the previous inspection, in regard to the standards of care and communication issues. There was evidence available to demonstrate that these had been dealt with and resolved. Staff spoken with were able to discuss how they would deal with a complaint should it be received. All service users spoken with stated that they were happy with the care received and the life within the home. To ensure that staff are aware of their responsibilities and obligations in safeguarding adults training continues to take place. Staff spoken with were able to discuss their personal responsibilities and outlined what they though constituted abuse and how they would deal with it should they suspect that this was occurring. The service currently has a safeguarding issue in regard to the standard of care delivered to a service user on one occasion, the operations manager and the safeguarding adults team are currently investigating this. There are policies and procedures in place for safeguarding
Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 adults, however this did not cover the procedure to follow when reporting incidents to the safeguarding adults team. This was discussed with the manager and the operations manager, both are fully aware of the procedures they must follow and stated that the policy will be updated to reflect this. Service users spoken with said that they felt settled and safe within the home. Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users live in a comfortable, well-maintained environment, which is clean and tidy. EVIDENCE: A partial tour of the accommodation was undertaken to ensure that the home is clean, safe and comfortable for the service users who live there. A maintenance person is employed who carries out routine maintenance and all areas of the home were well maintained. The lounges are comfortable and pleasant. The garden area has been levelled slightly and the manager said there are plans to continue with the landscaping of the garden, in the meantime the remaining area that has a slight slope has been fenced off to ensure service users remain safe. The storage of wheelchairs has been addressed and following a health and safety assessment an alternative area has been established to ensure that wheelchairs are no longer stored in service users rooms.
Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 All areas of the home accessed were clean and tidy, one service user spoken with said, “the staff always work hard to keep the home clean.” Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing

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 adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A well-trained staff team are available to meet service user needs. Service users are placed at risk due to the current recruitment policies and procedures taking place.

They stated that this was good as they had time to get to know service users and their needs.
Clifton Manor Care Home DS0000026432.V353432.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Four staff files were inspected to make sure that they have the information and documentation required by Law to protect service users from harm or abuse. Only two files contained all the necessary documentation. One file that was for a registered nurse did not contain evidence that their professional identification number was effective, which could mean that this person is not registered to practice. There was also only one reference available, this is not acceptable; two written references must be received before people start work at the home to make sure that service users are properly protected form unsuitable staff. Within the fourth file there was only one reference available, however this member of staff had been in employed with the company for a number of years, this was discussed with the manager, who stated that she would complete a character reference for this person.

There was evidence available to show that training has been provided and staff spoken with confirmed this. Staff have received training in all of the courses required to make sure they work in a safe manner. A number of staff have had training on supporting people with Dementia and further courses in this has been arranged. There was also evidence that the manager and other qualified staff have undertaken training to update their nursing skills. Observations confirm that staff are well trained and sensitive and work safely when service users.
