What the care home does well

The admission process provides assurances that the needs of residents entering the home are met. The statement of purpose includes large easy read text, symbols and colour photographs and is an excellent document that it sets out the services and care, which the home provides to residents. Residents are involved in day to day decisions, are well supported to take reasonable risks and good support plans accurately reflect their needs. Support plans were well written detailed and included photographs and were presented in clear text. Residents receive appropriate personal support and their health needs are well met. Good systems are in place to protect residents with a complaints procedure with pictures in contained in the statement of purpose for residents and their families. Good health and safety practices ensure resident`s welfare in those areas is promoted. Good systems are in place to ensure resident`s views inform the way the service is delivered.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Care plans have been reviewed and updated. Health care needs are recorded with follow up action. Care plans evidence how any decisions that have been made on residents behalf have been arrived at, and who has been consulted. The car fund for purchase of a car used by residents has been resolved to ensure that no resident is financially disadvantaged. Administration of medication procedures has been reviewed, with advice taken from the Pharmacist. Finding of service audits carried out are incorporated into the Continuous Improvement Plan to provide a more effective quality assurance programme. A new kitchen and bathroom and new windows have been installed and have improved the service for residents.

What the care home could do better:

Sufficient staff must be provided to meet residents assessed needs at all times. In particular to enable them to take part in regular leisure activities. This requirement has been outstanding since 2005 with no consistent staffing arrangement being put in place. On the day of inspection senior managers at Mencap confirmed staffing arrangements would be improved immediately. The adequacy of the premises in relation to meeting residents` needs and lifestyles should be kept under regular review in conjunction with placing authorities. Plans for building are in progress to make the home bigger with another bathroom and larger living accommodation.

Since the last key inspection on the 22nd August 2006 a Random visit took place on the 7th November 2006 to monitor progress of requirements and recommendations. Inspection of the standards was achieved through review of existing evidence, pre-inspection planning, an unannounced inspection visit to the home and drawing together all of the evidence gathered The service history was reviewed, which details all contact with the home including notifications of events reported by the home, any complaints and telephone calls. An annual quality assurance assessment completed by the Registered Manager was also examined. No completed questionnaires from relatives or health professionals had been received at the time of the inspection. The unannounced visit covered the morning on a weekday. The inspection was carried out by ‘case tracking’ which involves selecting a sample of people and tracking their care and experiences through review of their records, observation of interactions with care staff and care practices. The Inspector was unable to communicate with the residents. It has been necessary to form judgements about their experiences based on all other evidence including observations. Discussions took place with support staff and a manager from another Mencap service with feedback given. The use of the term ‘residents’ has been used in the body of this report, rather than ‘service users’ as this is how they are referred to in the home. What the service does well: The admission process provides assurances that the needs of residents entering the home are met. The statement of purpose includes large easy read text, symbols and colour photographs and is an excellent document that it sets out the services and care, which the home provides to residents. Residents are involved in day to day decisions, are well supported to take reasonable risks and good support plans accurately reflect their needs. Support plans were well written detailed and included photographs and were presented in clear text. Residents receive appropriate personal support and their health needs are well met.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7,8,9 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are involved in day to day decisions, are well supported to take reasonable risks and good support plans accurately reflect their needs. EVIDENCE: All support plans were up to date and had been reviewed. Support plans were well written detailed and included photographs and were presented in clear text. Comprehensive risk assessments form part of each plan and address risks to the resident themselves as well as those around them. Staff are fully aware of and actively contribute to support plans and routinely refer to them to gain information as to how to support and respond to individual residents needs. Detailed daily notes are kept and are referred to at staff handovers. Residents are supported to make decisions about their own lives such as the kind of food to eat and what social activities to pursue. Residents manage their own finances with staff support. This involves records of balances being kept Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 and the manager regularly audits these records. The records and balances for two residents were checked and found to be accurate. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14, 15,16,17 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. While staff work hard to identify activities that provide residents with a fulfilling life, opportunities are limited by staff shortages. Residents enjoy a healthy and varied diet. EVIDENCE: Residents have all expressed various activities pursuits on a activity lists in their support plans. Whilst some of these activities are met whilst attending day centre services during the week, many other activities have not been provided. Discussion with staff identified and upon checking staffing rota’s confirmed there have been inconsistent staffing arrangements during busier times of the day and this has disadvantaged staff to assist residents’ in accessing community activities/facilities. For example each resident is allocated some Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 one to one time from a member of staff each week and the time is used to go shopping, out for lunch or for a walk. Records showed that one resident case tracked went to the Woburn Zoo in July, had 3 trips out in May and one in March. The other three residents had received no other opportunities for chosen activities/ trips. The other resident case tracked had indicated a wish to go swimming in the support plan and a risk assessment had been produced but had not been able to go. The Commission raised this aspect for Social Care Inspection on inspection visits in June 2005, November 2005, August 2006 and November 2006. On these occasions the Provider gave assurances additional staffing requirements would be provided. In the past residents have the opportunity to go away on holiday with staff support and have been to different locations. Staff advised that the destination is arrived at through discussion about individual needs and was confirmed when reading recent residents meeting minutes. All residents are due to have holiday this year and is likely they will stay at the Mencap holiday bungalow while some re-decoration and refurbishment work takes place at Cottingham Road. Discussions with staff confirmed that every effort is made to support residents in maintaining family relationships. Residents support plans reflect this and residents case tracked enjoy regular contact with their families. Nutritional screening assessment is completed for all residents and concerns with regards to eating and weight are monitored. Two residents case tracked enjoy a healthy diet and their health and dietary needs are planned for. One resident has full fat milk and eats very well, the other resident enjoys a low fat diet including skimmed milk. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18,19,20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents receive appropriate personal support and their health needs are well met. EVIDENCE: Residents personal support needs are clearly documented in their support plans and staff are aware of the kind of support each individual requires. One resident prefer to wait in her room prior to going to day centre, as this was more calming and less noisy for her. Good arrangements are in place for accessing additional support from physiotherapists and other professionals to meet the additional physical health needs that some residents have. All residents have access to primary care services such as GP, dentists and opticians and are supported to attend appointments. Systems for storing, recording and administering medication are good with pictures of resident’s photographs for added clarity. Clear guidance is available Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 to staff around the side effects of medication and are aware of whom to report any concern. Staff receive medication training and clear guidelines are in place for the administration of medication. Two errors were noted around the recording of medicines administered. However senior staff were quick to follow their policies and procedures and follow through these incidences immediately. It is recommended a review of staff medication training take place to ensure all staff have current knowledge and ensure residents are protected. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22,23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Good systems are in place to protect residents. EVIDENCE: Two staff confirmed receiving mandatory adult protection training. Adult protection is frequently discussed in supervisions and at staff meetings. The Commission for Social Care Inspection have received no complaints about the service since the last inspection and staff confirmed that no complaints have been received by the home. A complaints procedure with pictures is contained in the statement of purpose for residents and their families. The Registered Manager is looking to present the complaints procedure in a more accessible format along side Mencaps Family Charter The Inspector was unable to communicate with the four residents due to their level of disability and limited communication. However the inspector observed that residents’ responded well to staff. Residents were observed preparing to leave for day centre activities. Staff were observed attending to individual residents dress and grooming and interacted in a warm and friendly manner. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24, 25, 26, 27, 28,30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The premises do not fully meet the needs of the current residents, but are clean and homely, but is clean and homely. EVIDENCE: The lack of adequate space to meet the needs of residents has been the subject of various requirements and recommendations since the establishment of the National Care Standards Commission the predecessor to The Commission for Social Care Inspection in April 2002. Previous requirements have also been made regarding the number of bathing facilities; the bathroom is required for all four residents and is also used by staff that carry out a sleep in shift. A new bathroom has been installed since the last inspection and plans have been identified for a second bathroom to be built. Mencap have confirmed in an action plan that they are satisfied that the premises meet the needs of people living there and that this is validated by needs led assessments carried out by care managers working for the placing authority. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Due to observations and discussions with staff about the practicalities of caring for residents’ on a day to day basis the inspector would advise that the adequacy of the premises in meeting residents’ needs without limiting their quality of life should be kept under careful review. For example the communal areas, have limited space, and there continues to be insufficient space in the lounge for all of the residents to sit together, given that additional equipment, such as wheelchairs and adapted seating is required. The difficulties with dining space are being addressed and an extension is to be built onto the existing lounge and dining areas. Residents are kept informed of building extension developments in residents meetings. All of the bedrooms are single, there are no en-suite facilities however there are washbasins in each bedroom. The inspector observed items blocking access to a residents wash hand basin and suggested these be properly resited. The hallway carpet looked dirty, staff confirmed this would be steam cleaned. A prominent lounge PVC window was cloudy and prevented clear vision and looked unsightly. Staff agreed and confirmed this would be repaired. The gas fire in the lounge had loose shiny stones as part of the feature. The inspector suggested this item should be risk assessed as this may present a hazard to residents. Good standards of hygiene are maintained with all areas being clean and tidy with no unpleasant odours. The back garden area was spacious and attractive. with flower baskets hung outside the home. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32,33,35 Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Arrangements for the training of staff are met, however staffing levels continue to be insufficient at times to meet residents’ needs. EVIDENCE: Senior staff confirmed Cottingham Road have over has over 50 of the staff team have achieved a National Vocational Qualification. This qualification provides staff with a basic understanding of care practices. A new member of staff confirmed that a training programme is in place and that this included induction training. She confirmed receiving good supervision and guidance from line managers. Ongoing concerns have been raised during inspections about the adequacy of the staffing levels in meeting residents’ needs at particular times of the day. An action plan submitted by Mencap following the inspection carried out in August 2006 stated that additional staff needs had been identified for key times. A sample check of the rota and discussions with staff identified that these staffing levels have rarely been achieved. Insufficient staff to meet Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 resident’s needs and action must be taken to address this shortfall. On the day of inspection senior Mencap managers confirmed that additional staff will be made available as soon as possible. Due to the absence of the Registered Manager staff recruitment files were not accessible and will be inspected at the next inspection. Cottingham Road DS0000012753.V349567.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43.
