What the care home could do better:

There was a discussion with the manager regarding the current level of the service, and the achievements since the last inspection. It was discussed that the service had met the standards in many areas. However to move from a good to an excellent service, the service needs to exceed the standard in some areas. The service should refer to the KLORA (Key Lines of Regulatory Assessment) documents available on the CSCI website for further information. There was a clear commitment from the manager, and throughout the staff of the home, from the care staff through to the head chef and maintenance man, all of whom wished to continually strive to improve the care and service provision to the service users, which can only be commended.

Dalewood View Care Home with nursing became registered in March 2007. The ownership / registered company has changed therefore it is listed as a new service, however the manager, from the previous company remains in post with a stable workforce. Only a limited number of the National Minimum Standards were examined at this inspection (with emphasis on the ‘key standards’), and the previous requirements. The person present at the inspection was: Mrs M Chatwyn, manager. Within this site visit, which occurred over a six hour period, the inspector toured the building, examined requirements relating to the previous inspection, case tracked 6 service users (Case tracked means looking at the care and service provided to specific service users living at the home; checking records relating to their health and welfare, care plans and other records; by talking to the service users themselves; viewing their personal accommodation as well as communal living areas), and spoke with other service users, and relatives and also 4 staff and examined assessments, care plans, risk assessments, menus, complaint files, staff files and quality monitoring documents. The history of the service was examined prior to the site visit. This included the Self-assessment document, telephone contacts, letters, notifications etc. What the service does well: Assessments from the care management teams were in place.

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): Standards 3 and 6. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Comprehensive assessments from the care management teams were in place. The managers of the service also provided comprehensive assessments. These two assessments ensured that the service have sufficient information to be aware of the service user’s needs prior to admission. EVIDENCE: On examination of the care management assessments within six care plans, it was established that the assessments observed from the care management assessments were comprehensive. Some care plans did not have care management assessments. It was advised that these assessments had been placed into storage, because the service user had been living at the home for some time. Dalewood View DS0000069697.V346688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The manager or deputy manager had undertaken comprehensive assessments of each service user prior to their admission. These assessments detailed the service user’s needs that would assist in the service having sufficient information for them to decide if the service could met the service user’s needs and provided sufficient information for care plans to be drawn up. The manager advised that no intermediate care was provided within the service. Dalewood View DS0000069697.V346688.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): Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Service users do benefit from the provision of accurate care plans. Service users were satisfied with the care they received. EVIDENCE: On examination of the care plans, from six service users, it was established that all six care plans were up to date. There were daily entries within the care plans. These entries recorded the care delivered on a daily basis, and the plans had been evaluated on a monthly basis. The evaluation was recorded in each care plan. Comprehensive risk assessments were included within the documentation and included moving and handling, nutrition, skin integrity, and other risk factors. Dalewood View DS0000069697.V346688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Also charts for recording when service users had their positions changed whilst being cared for in bed (turn charts) were found within some bedrooms. All these charts were found to be up to date. Service users and relatives expressed their views, during the inspection; ‘The care is good’. (4 service users) ‘Quite happy here’. ‘They look after us well’. A health care professional identified in a survey that; ‘Care staff at Dalewood have always made me welcome when I have visited clients. Families have also told me how at ease they have felt when being taken round the home by staff’. Whilst touring the building it was observed that some of the service users were in a frail condition and being cared for whilst in bed. Some other service users were not so frail, but were also being cared for in bed. All the service users who were observed to be in bed appeared to be comfortable and well cared for. On discussing the matter of remaining in bed with some of the less frail service users, it was advised by them that they preferred to remain in bed. The complication of continuous bed rest was discussed with the manager. She was aware of these complications and advised that her staff were also aware and took the necessary action. The storage, ordering, administration and disposal of medication procedures were discussed with the manager. The procedures explained by the manager were satisfactory. There was a signature-checking document, which contained the initials as written on the medication administration document and the member of staff’s signature. This document was found within the care plan documentation. It was discussed that it may be a more useful tool if stored with the medication administration records. On examination of the medication administration records it was found that there were no omissions of signatures. All medication records had been signed when being checked in from the pharmacy. The trolleys within the medication room were secured to the wall by chains. The practice of repeatedly chaining the trolleys to the wall had caused some minor damage to the wall. The door to the room contained a lock that was an ‘anti saw’ type lock. Therefore as the room was secure, it was agreed that the trolleys did not need to be the chained to the wall. Dalewood View DS0000069697.V346688.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): Standards 12, 13, 14 and 15. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Activities were organised within the service, which provide some stimulation to service users and enhance their quality of life. There was evidence that service users were given the opportunity to exercise their right of choice regarding meals. EVIDENCE: The manager advised that an activities co-ordinator was responsible for the activities, entertainment and outings and employed for 21 hours per week. She explained that the person worked the following hours. Monday Tuesday Weds Thursday Fri Sat or Sun Dalewood View 6 3 3 6 3 hours hours hours hours hours DS0000069697.V346688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 These hours were supplemented by an additional 6 hours by another member of staff. The manager advised that the service was to receive a capital grant from the Government and these monies were being used to enhance the activities provision. There was a programme of generalised planned social events displayed. There was also posters displayed, which detailed when entertainers would be visiting and when outing would be occurring. The manager identified that one or the more popular outings was to the local ‘working man’ club, which was adjacent to the home. Unfortunately both activities co-ordinators were not on duty at the time of the visit. During the visit no activities were observed. On discussing the activities with the service users, their opinions were that; ‘We do things now and again’. ‘Yes we go down to the activity room and do all sorts of things, its very nice down there’. Regarding the meals, the manager advised that a choice of porridge or cereals and full English breakfast was available every morning. On discussing the availability of a choice of meal, the manager advised that a choice was offered at each main mealtime and at teatime, sandwiches or a light meal was available. The obtaining of a choice of meals were exercised by two methods: • At lunchtime the service operated an ‘over catering’ method, and service users were offered the choice of meal from the meal trolley. The trolleys were examined after the meals had been served and there were spare portions of both meals. Prior to tea time staff would ask service users their choice of sandwiches or light meal. The food was prepared in the kitchen to the service users specific orders. • Copies of four weekly menus were seen, displayed within the dining room. The menu stated a choice of two meals. On visiting the kitchen the head chef indicated to a certificate that was displayed. The certificate stated that the service had received a five star rating from the Environmental Health Department. Dalewood View DS0000069697.V346688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 The manager and head chef were clearly proud of the service that was provided from the kitchen, and the possibility of achieving a score of 4 within the report was raised. It was indicated that the service should refer to the Klora (Key Lines of Regulatory Assessment) document, and exceed the standards. The manager requested an example. A simple example explained was that a choice of meal is needed to meet the standard. However some services had exceed the option of two choices and offered four or fives main meal choices on a menu, had system in place to ensure that these choices were in operation and had evidenced this at the inspection, as well as meeting all the other standards. The head chef expressed confidence in his team of staff and identified that he would want to examine ways of improving the service to the service users and offers a similar service. The manager welcomed his offer. Positive comments were received from the service users regarding the food provision. The general comments were that; ‘The food is excellent.’ ‘The meals are good’. ‘I always get a choice and I get what I like’.

However within several of the service user’s rooms, the wall nearest to the entrance had long black marks. These marks were discussed with the manager who identified that the marks were caused when staff when manoeuvring the wheelchair or hoist. She identified that this was a persistent problem and the maintenance man was continually redecorating the damaged area. These comments were supported Dalewood View DS0000069697.V346688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 by the action of the maintenance man, who was undertaking repairs on the day of the visit. The manager commended the maintenance man for his role on maintaining the home to its high standard.

Caring for a present occupancy of 52 service users. A full assessment of the dependency levels of the service users was not undertaken and compared with the indicated staffing levels. However it was discussed that the staff had the knowledge and ability to care for very dependent service users. The manager identified that she had confidence in her staff and was exploring the option of providing care to service users with palliative care needs. On examination of the four staff files, all contained the required documentation, including Criminal Records Bureau and POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) checks. Two of the staff files monitored were from staff from ‘overseas’. All relevant documentation had been obtained regarding these staff. On examination of the staff training records there were records that indicated the staff had received moving and handling, fire training and other relevant clinical training. There was a previous requirement regarding National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs), the manager identified that since the last inspection 4 staff had attained the NVQ and 10 staff were undertaking the qualification and were expected to complete by September. When these staff complete the percentage of NVQ qualified staff would be 50 . As the inspection took place on the 20th August and the NVQ training was near completion, no requirement was made. The manager identified that the new company, Southern Cross had its own training section, and she then expected that the percentage of staff attaining NVQs would increase. The comments from service users and relatives were; ‘They are kind and caring’. ‘The staff are excellent, kind and caring’. ‘They come when I want them’. ‘I’m satisfied with the care’. The previous requirements relating to the staff records had been addressed. Two references were now obtained and the staff had explained gaps in employment history and the information was recorded.
