What the care home does well

The home has achieved The Investors in People Award. The arrangements for admitting service users to the home were satisfactory. Service users` needs were set out in an individual plan of care and arrangements for providing health care, satisfactory. Service users and relatives spoken with and on the comment cards completed made positive comments including, " I know she`s safe here", " "the level of care is usually excellent" "they ring me immediately if there are any concerns" and the home "provides good quality all round care". Service users are encouraged to participate in activities however their wishes not to be involved are respected. The meal taken on the visit was cooked to a good standard, a choice of meal had been provided and no complaints were made about meals during the visit. The home is cleaned and maintained to a good standard and provides a comfortable environment for service users to live in.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Some training had been provided including, medication, health and safety and manual handling completed by external providers. Records of hot water temperatures and some re decoration and tiling had occurred.

What the care home could do better:

The standard of care is generally good. However, as at the last inspection, improvements are needed in the recording of medications to ensure that service users medication is being administered as prescribed. It was considered that staffing levels had not always been sufficient on occasions when rosters had been affected by sickness and staff vacancies. However the manager had worked hands on to provide the cover needed to ensure service users` needs were met. Written confirmation needs to be available for examination to confirm that POVA first checks are completed prior to a member of staff starting work. The registered person needs to arrange for the monthly-unannounced visits the home to be completed. A record of the action staff have taken to meet service users` needs should be made in the daily records. The homes intimate care policy should be reviewed to ensure service users and staff are fully protected when providing personal care.

Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.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 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 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users’ health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care and arrangements for providing health care are satisfactory. However, the medication administration records examined, considered against the balance of drugs, did not always confirm that medication has been given as prescribed. EVIDENCE: Service users’ care plans seen had been produced from needs assessments. The action to be taken by staff in the event of aggressive behaviour occurring was recorded. The care plans seen had been reviewed and updated. Risk assessments seen had been completed appropriately. Three service users who have developed pressure sores are in the care of the district nurses. Pressure relieving equipment had been provided in the lounges and service users bedrooms. A district nurse spoken with after the visit Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 confirmed that staff follow the guidance the nurses give in respect of pressure area care. She said one service user had developed a pressure sore when they had not been at the home and one service user’s small pressure sore had worsened during a time when they had not been at the home. One relative’s comment card received stated” they ring me immediately if there are any medical problems or concerns” the home is excellent, they are kept informed of GP and other health professionals visits and kept up to date of the service user’s condition. A GPs comments were positive and stated in respect of what the service does well as the “satisfactory care of residents” Service users’ weight had been recorded and the GP had been informed when staff had observed changes in one service user’s health. GP and health professionals’ visits had been recorded. A visitor spoken with said their relative had put weight on since being admitted to the home and they have no concerns, as they know their relative “is safe”. The action taken by staff to meets service users assessed needs had not always been written in the daily records. Records of accidents had been kept and where necessary reported as required under the RIDDOR regulations. Information provided on the pre inspection questionnaire showed a sixteen week medication training course was being provided for some staff. A member of staff said they were doing the course. The home has auditing procedures in place and the manager who assisted throughout with the checking process provided evidence of this. Six service users’ medication records were checked; the medication trolley was seen to be secured to the wall. The contents were stored safely and all medications stored in boxes were easily identifiable. Eye drops were appropriately labelled and the dates of opening recorded. Hand written entries seen on one medication record had been signed and countersigned by staff. The medication cycle had commenced four days prior to the visit, generally most medications checked had been signed as given and the medication in stock balanced. Two examples were found of medication discrepancy. One service user’s medication sheet, for a medication to be given at night, had not been signed on three consecutive occasions however the tablets were not in the blister Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 pack. The signatures recorded on another/one service user’s records against the number of tablets in stock indicated that the medication had not been given on two occasions. Some medication issues had also been identified at a previous inspection. Staff were observed assisting service users throughout the visit and no incidence occurred that could have affected service users’ privacy and dignity. Some friendly interaction between some service users regarding the delivery of personal care was noted and a member of staff discouraged the comments at the time. The effect that this friendly interaction could have in relation to who and how personal care tasks are delivered was discussed with the manager. She said she would review the homes intimate care policy to ensure service users and staff are fully protected when providing personal care. Service users spoken with looked well groomed and comfortable, their clothes were well laundered and personal hygiene needs attended to.

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): 12,13,14,15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

One comment card received stated their relatives preference not to join in activities was respected however encouragement given. The interaction between some service users was observed and they appeared to enjoy each other’s company. A service user who had recently been admitted to the home said they had made some friends. Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 A regular visitor said the manager keeps them up to date with all aspect of their relative’s care. A comment made by a relative, on a comment card, stated that their relatives’ quality of life had improved since their admission to the home. A service user said the local clergy visit the home to give Communion. Some records seen showed the manager had discussed advocacy arrangements at the point of admission to ensure they are appropriately supported. A member of staff was observed informing service users of the choices from the menu, which was Cornish pasty or shepherds pie and vegetables, followed by pineapple sponge and custard or rice pudding. Service users spoken with said they get plenty to eat and the food is good. A relative’s comment received stated the “meals are excellent”. However, since the visit a relative has contacted raising concerns about the amount of food served and this has been passed to the providers for their investigation.

It was observed that the main meal was served on small plates, the manager said that service users had been “over faced” when meals were served on large plates as much of the meal was being left. It was observed that all service users did not finish the meal.

The complaint records were seen which the manager had developed to record any issues that have been brought to her attention by staff or relatives. The homes survey questionnaires completed by service users evidenced that the manager follows up and records any issues that service users are not happy with. The manager said all service users have the opportunity to vote and this is recorded in their care plans. Since the last visit the manager had appropriately reported two incidents that had occurred at the home as required under Wakefield Metropolitan District Council Multi Agency Safeguarding Procedures. One incident in respect of two service users was resolved, one incident is currently being dealt with by the manager under the home disciplinary procedures. There had been a delay in one incident being brought to the manager’s attention. Since then the manager Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 did provide written confirmation to the Commission of the action she had taken in respect of the homes Whistleblowing policy, to prevent delays in reporting incidences in the future. A new member of staff confirmed they had been given a copy of the homes Whistleblowing policy when they started work. A visitor who lives away said they knew their relative was “safe here.” Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staffing levels need to be kept under review to ensure that planned staffing levels are maintained to meet the needs of service users. EVIDENCE: The manager had informed the Commission, prior to the visit, that she was undertaking some of the cook’s duties due to a vacancy occurring at short notice. The manager said she also helps with the provision of personal care when needed. The manager said that she always tries to ensure that there are four carers on duty. It was observed that most service users require some assistance from staff. The information on the pre inspection questionnaire shows that 10 of the 22 service users required two staff to assist them. It was observed at the visit that some service users required the hoist to enable transfer from chair to chair necessitating two staff assist. On the morning of the visit the manager was on duty along with the deputy manager and an experienced carer. A member of staff who had only worked at the home for one week was also on duty. The deputy manager said there “are enough staff on duty. The new member of staff on duty said that as part of her Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 induction she was “shadowing staff and observing manual handling practices including using the hoist. A carer said they “get by”. The deputy manager said when she completes staff rosters she always makes sure someone experienced works with new staff”. Information on the pre inspection questionnaire shows that 75 of care staff have NVQ level 2 or above. The deputy manager said she has NVQ level 4 in care and is nearly ready to finish the training for the registered managers award. Records seen for two staff recruited since the last visit showed that interviews had occurred, application forms had been completed, two satisfactory references had been obtained, job descriptions and contracts provided. A CRB and POVA check had been completed for one member of staff prior to them commencing working at the home. The manager could only provide evidence that a CRB check which was dated after the date a member of staff had started work. The manager said the POVA first check had been made however was not able to locate written confirmation of this. Positively a member of staff spoken with said that they had attended some training courses including manual handling, medication and dementia. Information provided on the pre inspection questionnaire showed infection control training had been provided, first aid, food hygiene, fire and abuse training was planned. A training matrix seen at the visit confirmed this. Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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): 31,33,35.38 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Management time has been reduced by the manager covering for staff and this needs to be reviewed, as does the undertaking of the monthly provider visits, to ensure the home continues to run well. EVIDENCE: The manager has the experience and qualification required to manage the home. She said she has assisted care staff in the delivery of personal care and cooks duties, as well as completing her management duties, as two care staff vacancies have occurred and have affected the roster. In the short term staffing levels have not been found to have affected the management of the home, but this may not be sustainable. A relative’s Cymar House DS0000006176.V314217.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 comments made at the visit included that the manager had kept them up to date and given support when needed. The minutes of staff and service users meetings seen showed that they provide opportunities for airing views and also being kept up to date of events concerning the home. Some questionnaires completed as part of the home quality assurance programme were seen. The manager had audited these and addressed any issues service users had raised with them. Of concern was that there were no records to confirm that the registered person’s monthly-unannounced visits had occurred since before the last regulatory visit. The manager said these visits, which focus on the care and well being of service users and staff, had not occurred. The Commission had been notified that this was due to illness and adequate alternative arrangements had not been made. Positively various record checks found systems running well. Records of some service users’ monies held by the home for hairdressing, chiropody etc were checked and no discrepancies found. Staff training records seen show that mandatory training and training updates are provided Records of hot running water temperature checks were seen, according to the records any issues observed had been dealt with.
