What the care home does well

This is a well managed home with a staff group that are committed to providing good care to service users. Relatives and social contacts are maintained and encouraged. Relatives and service users representatives spoke highly of the home. Service users were encouraged to participate in the inspection process by the staff team and the inspector received a large number of positive feedback questionnaires from service users before the inspection. The home was clean and tidy with a variety of communal areas for service users to access. Service users bedrooms were individualized and personalised to suit their preferences. Staff are polite and respectful. The home has good links with multi disciplinary health professionals which ensure that service users health needs are met.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The management of medication has improved since the last inspection to a higher standard. The home has reviewed its activity provision but further work is required so service users are getting the activities they want and at the times they want. The home has reviewed staff training needs and now has access to a resource to help meet these needs. Assessment of potential service users coming into the home has improved ensuring that their needs are identified in advance and can be met by the home.

What the care home could do better:

There are still an outstanding number of maintenance tasks and improvements are needed in a number of areas to ensure that home is safe and comfortable for service users. Issues such as the external paintwork of the building, redecoration of lounges and bedrooms, replacement of carpets and worn furniture need to be addressed. Assessment of prospective service users although in place need to demonstrate that prospective service user needs are compatible with the homes registration category and the needs of other service users in the home. Record keeping in respect of care plans for service users needs to be improved. The Statement of Purpose and Service Users guide needs to be improved so service users are fully informed of what they can expect from the home. The kitchen was clean but fridge and freezer temperatures were not being monitored consistently, food needs to be stored at the correct temperature so there are no ill effects to service users.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1.2.3.4.5 Information provided for service users it is not as comprehensive as it should be to enable residents to make a fully informed choice about this home. The home has accepted a service user outside its registration category, having a detrimental effect on this service user and others within the home. EVIDENCE: The home has both a statement of purpose and service users guide these require further work to ensure that they are fully informative documents. The statement of purpose also needs to state which bedrooms cannot accommodate all the furniture listed in standard 24 due limited space. Not all service users files contained a contract, and those contracts on file did not state who was paying the fees. Service users are admitted to the home following a Social Worker initial assessment and care plan. Service users needs are being met with the exception of one resident who was inappropriately accommodated at the home, a letter of serious concern was sent following this inspection in regards to this one service user. A relative commented “Druids Meadow is very good…….I have no problems…….mum…is very well cared for. Druids meadow has some good carers”. The inspector received positive comments from multi disciplinary health care professionals, these include the flexibility of the staff to ensure that Druids Meadow e54_S33439_DruidsMeadow_V226249_210605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 service users were treated individually. Since the previous inspection the homes pre admission assessment tool has been improved the home is in the process of trailing it to consider further developments. Druids Meadow e54_S33439_DruidsMeadow_V226249_210605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 7.8.9.10 The health needs of service users are well met with evidence of good multidisciplinary working taking place. Recording of health and social care needs further development to ensure that comprehensive plans are in place for each service user, so that they receive consistent levels of care. Medication management was good protecting the well being of service users. EVIDENCE: The inspector witnessed good interaction between staff and service users. Feedback from service users included “ staff are very kind, I feel safe here”, “we’re well looked after”. Staff knowledge was good in relation to meeting service users individual needs but this was not always being demonstrated in the care plans. Skin integrity, manual handling and nutritional risk assessments tools were in place but were not being linked into the care plans. Manual handling assessments were not being reviewed monthly. Training is required for staff in regards to skin integrity as these assessments were not being completed accurately thus a false assessment was obtained. No continence assessments were taking being carried out. One service users psychological needs had clearly changed whilst in the home and appropriate health care referrals had been made, but the care plan did not reflect these changes and how these changing needs were going Druids Meadow e54_S33439_DruidsMeadow_V226249_210605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 to be met whilst an alternative placement could be obtained. Care plans were not being reviewed monthly and service user involvement was not evident. Multidisciplinary health professionals spoke positively about the home and the staffs’ ability to accommodate service users needs. Access to a dentist was discussed with the Care Manager. Not all service users see a dentist for an annual review. The home does have access to dental practices for some service users and can obtain emergency treatment but this comprehensive coverage for all service users is not available. Medication management overall was good. Medication fridge temperature recordings were noticed to be high on several occasions. The home had not taken any action to rectify these. This was discussed with the Care Manager and it was agreed that either the staff had not reset the thermometer or the fridge needed moving from its position next to the window as the high temperature reading coincided with excessively hot summer days. A tub of aqueous cream was found in one of the bathrooms with no name on it or date of opening. The home has a pay phone located in a small private space. Service users clothes were observed to be nicely laundered.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) .12.13.14.15 The home has systems in place to maintain and provide social activities. The level of provision is varied and does not always meet service users expectations. Meals were wholesome and appealing, meeting service users nutritional needs. EVIDENCE: The home has recently reviewed its provision of activities and feedback from service users, relatives and staff in regards to activities was varied, over half of the service users thought that activities provided were inadequate. One comment received by the inspector was in relation to timing of the activities which needs to be considered, “I like activities but they’re doing it at the wrong time, … would prefer them in the afternoon”. Service users were observed reading large printed book’s the inspector was informed that the home has a library service. Service users were observed to be receiving visitors at various times of the day. Service users bedrooms were individual and personalized with their own possessions.
