EVIDENCE: Service users say that support workers are attentive to their needs without being intrusive. The Inspector witnessed a large number of occasions on which support workers assisted service users. He noted these events to be characterised by a quiet informality which is consistent with good care practice. Service users who have problems with aspects of their physical health are assisted to seek and to follow the advice of their doctor. Staff keep a tactful eye open so that medical conditions are noted at an early point. The Commission has not received any expressions of concern in relation to the Home, from partner agencies such as members of the primary health care team. Conifers H56-H05 S59959 Conifers V232020 230805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 15 On a risk assessed basis, service users are assisted to manage their own medication. At the time of the inspection, none of the service users were acting in this capacity. The Inspector examined selected aspects of the arrangements used by staff to administer service users’ medication. He found that suitable practices were in place to store medicines and to ensure that service users take them in the manner intended by their doctor. However, there was a category of omissions in the records which should be kept of each occasion on which a medicine is dispensed to a service user. Also, there were omissions in the level of written detail provided to support workers when dispensing a discretionary medicine to Service User B. These oversights are listed for correction in the relevant Required Developments at the end of this Report.

There is a sufficient number of toilets and bathrooms. There are sufficient shared spaces. There is adequate equipment in place to enable support workers to assist those service users who experience a measure of reduced mobility. The Home is cleaned to a normal domestic standard.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36. Support workers have a good understanding on their duties and they work together well as a team. There is an adequate number of staff on duty. Support workers have the competencies they need and their practice is monitored. A number of steps are taken to ensure that only suitable people work in the Home. EVIDENCE: Support workers are provided with a written account of their duties. The staff team is relatively stable. This means that people have got used to working together and that service users know who is going to be around and what they are going to be doing. There are handover meetings at the beginning and end of each shift and support workers keep diary records of how things are going for each service user. There are regular staff meetings and support workers say that they are actively consulted by the Registered Manager about how the Home is administered. Conifers H56-H05 S59959 Conifers V232020 230805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 20 There are two support workers on duty during the day. At tea time the evening and night shifts commence. Staff say that enough support workers are deployed in the Home to enable an effective service to be provided. Service users say that support workers are always around when they need them. The Inspector considers the Home to be staffed adequately, given the needs for assistance of the service users currently in residence. The Registered Providers complete a number of security checks in relation to each prospective new support worker. These are carried out in order to better ensure that only suitable people are entrusted to have unsupervised access to service users who may be vulnerable. The Inspector noted there to be a category of omissions in relation to Support Worker A and in relation to Support Worker B. The Registered Providers should correct these errors within the time scale listed in the relevant Required Development at the end of this Report. One of the four support workers has completed a relevant National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in health and social care. The Registered Manager said that as new support workers are recruited, they will be encouraged to complete the Award. This qualification is designed to validate that individual support workers have the skills they need to respond effectively to service users’ needs for assistance. The Registered Providers ensure that all new support workers receive a period of introductory training before they work with service users without direct supervision. The Registered Manager is going to strengthen the list of subjects covered in this initial training. This development will be completed by 1 October 2005. Some of the support workers have undertaken various courses in subjects relevant to their work. The Registered Manager said that the records of this attendance are not up to date. This matter is going to be resolved as part of a larger development. This will see the Registered Providers completing a thorough audit of the competencies each support worker possesses to provide personal care services in the Home. The Inspector considers this exercise to be particularly important given the only limited number of staff who have completed a relevant National Vocational Qualification. The Registered Providers intend to complete the review by 1 July 2006. The Inspector considers that the support workers have the competencies they need in order to provide a reliable and effective response to the present service users’ needs for assistance. The Registered Manager routinely works alongside the support workers when they are providing assistance to the service users. This enables him to monitor and to give advice to support workers about aspects of their care practice. The support workers consider the Registered Manager to be knowledgeable about Conifers H56-H05 S59959 Conifers V232020 230805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 21 residential care and to be supportive in his manner. This informal dialogue is now going to be complemented by more organised meetings. These will entail each support worker meeting in private with the Registered Manager to review their work and to resolve any problems should there be any. Conifers H56-H05 S59959 Conifers V232020 230805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 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’ 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) 37, 38, 39, 40, 41 and 42. The Registered Providers run the Home so as to reliably provide service users with appropriate assistance.

He has acquired a formal qualification in management and he is about to complete the National Vocational Qualification which is prescribed by the Standards for incumbents of his post. The Registered Manager has a detailed understanding of the day to operation of the Home and of the particular needs of each of the service users. Conifers H56-H05 S59959 Conifers V232020 230805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 23 Both the service users and as already noted the members of staff, say that they feel themselves to be free to approach the Registered Manager if there is something troubling them. In addition to these informal consultations, the Registered Providers operate a quality assurance system. This is designed to enable stakeholders in general and service users in particular to comment on the adequacy of the facilities and services available in the Home. The Registered Providers are going to strengthen an aspect of how the results of this annual exercise are notified to service users. This will entail the preparation of a Quality Report. The first of these will be made available by 1 November 2005. The Registered Providers maintain various recording systems to assist in the management of the Home. The Inspector examined the accident book and he noted that there were no patterns which indicated the need for him to make any further enquiries. The Inspector examined the records which the Registered Providers keep in relation to those service users who elect to receive assistance with the management of their weekly personal spending allowance. Most of the various entries checked were found to be in order. However, in relation to Service User A there were omissions in the records of the various transactions involved. The Registered Manager said that this matter will be addressed within the time scale established in the Required Development at the end of this Report. Service users are confident that their monies are administered in an appropriate manner. There are various policies and procedures available in the Home. These are designed to support staff when undertaking their duties. The Inspector noted that support workers are conversant with the principles expressed in these documents. Also noted, was that they carry out their work in a manner which is consistent with their provisions. The Registered Providers complete a regular review of the premises to ensure that there are no significant hazards which might compromise the health and safety of any of the service users. This exercise is now going to be strengthened by including for consideration the need to guard the heated surfaces of radiators and to control the temperature of the hot water service. This exercise will be completed by 1 January 2006. The Registered Providers are going to submit to the Kent Fire Service a written assessment of the adequacy of the fire safety regime operated in the Home. This development will be completed by 1 January 2006. In the interim, the Inspector understands that the Kent Fire Service has not recommended any improvements which remain outstanding. The Registered Manager completes the periodic checks which have to be made to ensure the continued serviceability of the Home’s fire safety regime. This work now needs to be Conifers H56-H05 S59959 Conifers V232020 230805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 24 strengthened by the introduction of a system which is designed to ensure that all members of staff are competent to respond effectively to a fire safety emergency. The time scale for the completion of this development is described in the relevant Required Development at the end of this Report. The Registered Provider has arranged for all appliances such as gas boilers to be serviced in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
