Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3, 4 & 6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. Residents are admitted into the home after they have had a comprehensive assessment by the home staff. This then forms the basis for the development of the care plan. Residents are given information to show that they can be cared for by before they move in. The home does not offer intermediate care. EVIDENCE: Four care plans were looked at and each contained a comprehensive preadmission assessment. The Manager or the senior staff had carried this out. The records are detailed enough to form the basis of the care planning. They use a variety of sources for the information including the people close to the resident, including their carers or relatives. Information is also recorded sent from the hospital or a care home if the resident was in one at the time of the admission. The information depends on where the resident was at the time the assessment was carried out.
DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The care plans also contained a care management assessment, provided by the residents Care Manager who works for the Social Services department. This is information is given to the home on, or just before admission and from all of these documents an individual care plan is developed. DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 & 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgment has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. All resident have a care plan and the care is given as it describes in these plans. The residents are having their needs met. They are being given their care with respect and in privacy. The residents receive their prescribed medication according to safe working practices. The medicines in the home are well managed and safely disposed of as necessary. EVIDENCE: Every resident has a care plan. Four care plans were looked at closely during the visit and were completed to a good standard. These care of the four residents whose care plans was looked at as part of the inspection and was appropriate to their needs. Relevant risk assessments are completed for, prevention of falls, wound care, moving and assisting, and continence promotion. There is an assessment to look at the resident’s food and fluid intake and if needed a plan is then drawn up to prevent any further weight loss. This included in one care plan getting advice from a dietician and speech
DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 therapist and in another speaking the residents General Practitioner. See standard 15 for information about the changes the Manager has introduced regarding residents dietary needs. The care plans are regularly looked at make sure they are still accurate. They are also brought up to date by checking them with the residents and or their relatives or representatives. The care plans showed that the home staff make sure that the residents use NHS services and facilities if they need to. There is a good range of pressure relieving mattresses to reduce the risk of resident getting pressure sores. The pressure mattresses in use are labelled with the resident’s name, and their weight to make sure that it is set correctly for them. Records of what the nurses are doing to treat wounds were good with evaluations being dated and signed. Staff get expert advice for wound care for individual residents. This suggests that they are making sure that they are using best practice in wound care. The home also gets specialist advice for residents with different conditions for example physiotherapist or occupational therapist. Medicines management was appropriate. The staff record the medicines correctly when they are ordered. The prescriptions are then checked when they are received in the home from the General Practitioners and are then sent to the Chemist for dispensing. The medicines that are sent from the pharmacy are then again checked against the record of what was ordered and prescribed so that any errors can be picked up. There are no residents who manage their own medication. DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 & 15 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgment has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. The residents are offered a variety of social activities and are encouraged to take part in those they find interesting and able to take part in. The residents are being encouraged and supported to maintain contact with their families. The residents are given a balanced, nutritious diet given at appropriate times in a satisfactory environment EVIDENCE: There are changes being made to the care plans to further develop the way the social needs of the residents are recorded. The manager explained that this is so that they will have more detailed information about the residents past life, experiences and aspirations. She said that this would give information to help them to find activities the residents would find interesting. This will also give the staff suitable topics of conversation to make day-to-day conversations more relevant to the individual resident and make them feel more valued. The Manager has arranged for each of the care staff to collect this information. These are not yet available although a social care plan is in the care plan, which meets the standard.
DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The care plans are regularly looked at to make sure they are up to date. This is done involving the resident and or their representatives. The residents’ bedrooms were personalised according to the taste of the resident and where possible they are asked to choose decoration when it is necessary to redecorate. Two residents asked about their bedrooms said they were happy with the decoration and that they had a lot their own personal items around them. There are few residents who could say how they are encouraged to take control of their daily routines. However, the care plans have information about their past lives so staff know the way they chose to live prior to admission into the home. This includes the time they prefer to get up, what and when they eat and how they spend their time. There are a lot of organised activities taking part in the home. These are advertised on the walls in both writing and pictures, some have items attached to the board to show the activity for example cooking utensils for the cookery activity. Examples of the activities are Arts and crafts, Pie and Pea supper, cheese and wine parties, Prize bingo, and weekly trips out in the mini bus, and baking days. These are available to all residents and relatives are invited to take part. Staff said that residents could choose if they want to take part. The staff write in the care plans if the resident has taken part and if they enjoyed it. Depending on the resident’s dependency level and ability to take part they may be offered less active and more “one to one” activities. The Manager and staff work hard to make sure that residents maintain their contact with their families. This is particularly evident where a resident has a partner/husband/wife. Two relatives said that on their wedding anniversaries the home arrange a celebration for them and there is always a present bought for them on behalf of the resident. The resident is also given flowers and or chocolates or something they would enjoy. The relatives also said that at holiday times they are encouraged to be with their partner to have meals and spend time together. Cards and presents are exchanged at these times even though the resident may no longer be able to manage this themselves and rely on the staff to do it for them. This is funded by the home. Residents have visitors at any time and are able to use their own rooms, or the lounges to see them. Four relatives said that they are welcomed into the home; they said they were given information within the residents’ guide about visiting arrangements. Residents said they were happy with the arrangements for visitors. The Manager has recently found that some residents were loosing weight. Although this is found in some residents with chronic conditions she has taken action to change practices in an attempt to improve the residents food intake. This has meant changing the layout of the lounge and dining room, which has
DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 not yet been completed. The residents are now eating their main meals in two sittings so that the staff can spend more time with residents who require assistance. Also the residents are no longer being asked the day before for their choice of meals (there is two choices for the main meal) but are being shown the meals at the time of serving. When the resident sees and chooses the one they prefer a meal is then plated for them of the appropriate portion size specifically for them. If the meal shown is of the appropriate choice and size it is given to them on choosing it. This allows choice and portion control. The effectiveness of these changes is to be determined by the Manager so that she can further change it if necessary and or maintain the changes if they are effective in increasing the diet intake of the residents. The morning “tea trolley” offered a varied selection of both fluids and food. There was tea, coffee, choice of four cold drinks including Cranberry Juice, and milk. There were biscuits, T cake, and small snack sized sandwiches. There was a selection of fruit available including banana, apple, grapes, and orange. These were prepared by peeling if necessary and then chopping it into small bite size pieces. Each resident was given a small selection of the snacks on a plate, so that the resident could pick from the plate the things they wished to eat and did not need to choose prior to serving. The manager agreed that small tables next to the resident’s chairs would offer them somewhere to put teacups and plates. Cooler jugs and glasses are kept with a choice of juices in the lounges and residents were being given drinks during both of the visits.

There is a good system for managing and dealing with complaints. It makes sure that they can react and take action as necessary to improve the service. The residents are protected form abuse by staff training, recruitment and selection and effective documentation and training. EVIDENCE: The complaints procedure is available in the service users guide and a copy is displayed in the home. The record of complaints made and investigated was looked at. There have been eight complaints received in the last twelve months. The record of these was detailed and it included the response to the complainant. It also identified if any action was taken to improve the service as a result of the issue being raised. The Manager records all expressions of concern so she can use the information in the companies quality assurance system. There is also a mechanism for analysing the complaints and a monthly report is sent to headquarters to that the company can monitor it centrally. There have been two protection of vulnerable adult investigations in the last twelve months. One of the issues was raised by the Manager and the other by a visiting professional. Both of these have been resolved and the manager has taken action to make sure that they have learned lessons from the issues
DS0000000507.V295568.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 being raised both in improving the documentation and changing practice as necessary. Three relatives who were visiting the home were aware of the complaints procedure but had not needed to use it. Staff are given protection of vulnerable adults training both as part of the inhouse training package as “Residents welfare training” and from external Northumberland Care Trust. The Qualified nurses also have more extensive training in this area, as they are responsible for being the “person in charge” of the home when the Manager is not present.

The residents were asked for their views individually by the activity coordinator asking set questions and the responses were recorded. This was either their verbal reply of any facial expressions or reactions without a judgement being made. The Manager then interpreted the outcome of the questionnaires as part of the quality assurance process. The responses form all of the questionnaires were anonomised, and put onto the wall as part of a display. Positive feedback displayed on one side and negative ones on the other side.
