We talked to the staff and the deputy manager and registered manager. We spoke to the GP when he visited. We walked around the home and had a look to see what it is like. We looked at the new care plans. We looked at the medicines and the records. We looked at some of the policies and procedures in the office. Policies are rules about how to do things. Procedures tell people how to follow the rules. What the care home does well People are supported well to make choices and say what they like. What they say is listened to and included in the plans for improvements to the home. People are supported very well with their health and personal care. Staff have had training to help people with their health. This has helped people who have been ill and getting old. There are good records so that other professionals can see how the person is being supported and if they need specialist help. This has helped the GP and epilepsy nurse. The home lets everyone know what is happening. A newsletter called Eastry Matters is given to families and other people who are interested. The home is well organised. People have been involved in choosing what they want in their bedrooms and how they want them to look. Staff have good training. This includes training that has been specially designed to support the needs of the people living in the home. The home is well managed. What has got better from the last inspection New plans are being written with each person. They have simple questions and pictures to help people understand and say how they want to be supported and what is important to them. A lot of the plans have been written in now. Each person also has a health action plan. These are also being filled in with the key worker. If a person needs support with a health condition the staff receive training so that they understand it better. There have been major improvements to the building. The lounge is bigger and lighter. There is a dining room downstairs. Two of the bedrooms have the original windows put back in. The home now has a new kitchen.

These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. People moving into the home can be confident that a competent person will assess their needs and that their care and support will be tailored to meet them. Evidence: The statement of purpose and service user guides have been updated so that the format is easier to understand. These were looked at and discussed with the manager. The service user guide can have pictures included. Three people have moved in since the last inspection visit. Two assessments were looked at and there was clear information about the persons needs and wishes. The assessment process has been improved so that the person and their family can be involved in the whole process. Support networks were established to provide all relevant information with the health professions, as there were health needs being presented as well as learning disability needs. Individual needs and choices
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s needs and goals are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. People are able to make decisions about their life, including their finances, with support if they need it. This is because the staff promote their rights and choices. People are supported to take risks to enable them to stay independent. This is because the staff have appropriate information on which to base decisions. People are asked about, and are involved in, all aspects of life in the home. This is because the manager and staff offer them opportunities to participate in the day to day running of the home and enable them to influence key decisions. People are confident that the home handles information about them appropriately. This is because the home has clear policies and procedures that staff follow. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. The service recognises the right of individuals to make their own decisions and supports people in a positive way. Evidence: Each person has a support plan. The format of the plans has been redesigned so that it is person centred and easier to understand. Two plans were looked at and discussed with one of the senior staff. Each person has a key worker. The staff involve the person by talking about their needs and what is important to them in a way that they understand. Some people have written in their plans and signed them. Risk assessments are also included in the plans. These are clearly written with guidelines for staff. Some of the risk assessments have been copied from the previous style plan and are going to be re-written. All information that had been reviewed was in the plan. Some of the information is printed which is done at the head office so there are hand written entries for information to the staff while they are waiting for the printed version to be sent to the home. The staff said they thought the plans are a good design and easy access to the information they need to support each person. One of the staff spoken to had been working in the home for a few days and said he had been reading them as part of his induction. Risk assessments cover all relevant aspects of the peoples lives that actually happen rather than anticipate general accidents. These included activities and support with mobility. There are one-to-one talk times with the person and their key worker. This gives each person the opportunity to say how they want to be supported and what they want to do. People are helped to make decisions about how they want to spend their time, who Evidence: they see and keep in touch with, what they want to eat and when they have baths and get up. There is a reminiscence group where individuals are building life storybooks. There are groups like committees for making decisions in the home and other parts of the homes in Eastry. People living in the home spoke to us and also filled in some surveys for us and their comments indicated that they are well supported to make their needs known and are listened to. Lifestyle
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They can take part in activities that are appropriate to their age and culture and are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives and the home supports them to have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. People are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. Their dignity and rights are respected in their daily life. People have healthy, well-presented meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. People have opportunities to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. This is because the staff support their personal development. People choose and participate in suitable leisure activities. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. The people living in the home are able to enjoy a full a stimulating lifestyle with a variety of options to choose from. Evidence: A range of activities are provided and are tailored to individual needs. One to one meetings are held with each persons key worker to talk about what they like and what they want to do. Many of the people in the home are older and there is more emphasis on their health and personal care and less on developing independent skills but people can do this if they want to. The independence that people have achieved is maintained and written into their support plan. There is an arts and crafts area in the home. Some people were in there and there were puzzles and other games that they were participating in with the staff. The companys day centre is near the home in the same grounds. People can participate in drama, arts and crafts, computer and information technology skills, literacy and numeracy and cooking. There is also a sensory room and people can have massage and beauty therapy. Some of these activities are also available in the home. People talked about what they like to do. One person came in from the day centre and talked to us. He said that he had been cooking and that he also goes to the college for literacy and numeracy lessons. He also talked about the pantomime that he had seen the previous evening. He was very positive about his experiences. One person spoke about going to the local tea dance and was looking forward to the next one. Evidence: There is a reminiscence group who meet every week. They have turned part of the garden into a vegetable plot and recently had a good crop. They have had taste and smell sessions where they try out flavours and scents that they may associate with the past like humbugs and lavender. We saw that they are currently compiling life storybooks. Activities are also planned in the evening. People said they like karaoke. They play bingo and also go out to the pub. Some people like to go to their rooms in evening and some watch TV in lounge. Each person is supported to maintain contact with their family and friends. People who are important to them are written in their support plan. Visitors can visit at any reasonable time and do not have to give notice but may need to make sure that the person is in. The home hold events that peoples relatives are invited to. The news magazine Eastry Matters provides all relatives, visitors and interested people up to date with what is happening in both Eastry House and the other Family Care homes nearby. Every six months they have a meeting with the cook and staff about the menus and come up with some different ideas, get rid of the meals they are fed up with or do not like any more and keep the favourite ones. They have tried a picture menu but the manager said there are so many different meals that you needed so many pictures and no one found them very useful. They look at pictures in magazines and cookbooks when they are planning the menu. They have ordered two new cookbooks that they found recently and thought would be useful, a diabetic cookbook and a soft diet cookbook. Personal and healthcare support
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. Personal support is responsive to the varied and individual needs and preferences of the people who live in the home. Medicines are handled safely. Evidence: Staff have got to know each person very well and have found out how they like to be supported with their personal care. Routines have been established for them and guidelines have been written for the staff so that everyone is doing the same thing. The manager said this has reduced peoples behaviours and anxiety. The people living in the home are supported to access the local health care facilities. All are registered with a GP in the village. All the people living in the home are registered with a dental department as some people required specialist treatment through the department who specialise for learning disabilities. People attend appointments in the village or local towns but specialists are also available to come to the home for dental, chiropodist and optical care. We saw that the staff have prepared health plans and records. Each person has a health action plan. This includes all the health needs they have and the support they need. People who have epilepsy have an epilepsy survey and chart which gives all relevant information on how the condition presents in the individual so that if they need to go to the GP or epilepsy specialist all the information is there. Staff are given specialist training to support individuals health needs. Bespoke training in Dementia was provided for all staff, as recent changes in some individuals required specialist interventions to best support them. This also gave staff the time to discuss issues on an individual basis. Evidence: A variety of specialist equipment is provided to support each person. These include specialist beds, hoists and standing aids. People are assessed to see if they would be able to manage all or part of their medication themselves. The people who currently live in the home have their medication given to them by staff. One of the senior staff showed us the where the medication is stored and the records for when it is given. She also explained the procedures for how medication is given and checked. The home has a clinical room with a hand wash basin, surfaces and locked cupboards. There is a medication fridge. We saw that the prescriptions, instructions and records are clear and well organised. There is information for the staff about the medication that each person is taking. There is also information about the possible side effects to look out for and what to do. Controlled medication is stored securely. And there is a separate procedure and record for when people are prescribed this. All staff who give medication have had training. And there is a good checking system by staff when giving the medication and this is followed up by the deputy manager. All the medication storage and administration is checked by the registered manager and also by the operations manager during the company monthly monitoring visits. This outcome group has been rated excellent because the registered manager and deputy manager have made sure that each persons needs have been properly assessed and have provided the health care, staff training and support to meet their needs. Concerns, complaints and protection
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. The home has an open culture that allows people to express their views and concerns in a safe and understanding environment. People in the home are protected by the homes policies and procedures. Evidence: The company provides the complaints procedure in various formats to help people with disabilities to use it. A copy of the complaints procedure provided with widget symbols is displayed in the home for all to see. Families are also aware of the procedure and there is reference to it and how to give feedback in the company newsletter. People said they speak to their key worker or manager if they have a problem. Staff said that their key worker supports people with communication difficulties. We saw descriptions of how each person communicates and how to interpret behaviour for individuals is in their care plan folder. Staff said they get to know individuals with communication difficulties and respond to signs, behaviour and facial expressions to gain understanding of what is being communicated to them. We saw that staff are responsive to the people in the home and take time to understand people expressing themselves. The company have reviewed the safeguarding procedures and provided a flow chart of what staff are to do. There is also a new whistle blowing policy for the staff. All the information is kept in a folder and staff know where to find it. Staff said they found this helpful and know who to contact and what to do if they suspect abuse. Safeguarding and POVA training is provided to all staff. Environment
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. The home is clean and comfortable and suitable for the needs of the people living there. Evidence: We walked around the home with the deputy manager to see what it is like. This is a big old house and the staff are making it as homely as they can. We spoke to some of the people in the home in their bedrooms. Their rooms have been decorated and furnished in the way they like and to suit their needs. One person has adaptations to assist because he cannot see very well. The home has a handy man who used to be a carer so he knows the people who live there. He talks to the people because he knows them and they know him and establishes what they would like in their room and what colour scheme. Then he does it. The home has quite a lot of work done. There is now a dining room downstairs. This leads outside and provides a good place to eat which can extend to outside in the warmer weather. During the day this is also used for activities and during the visit the reminiscence group were having a meeting. The lounge looks much lighter and more spacious since it has been opened up with the divider having been removed. The people living in the home have been involved in the planning of the new areas and said that they were happy with the rooms. The kitchen has also been completely refurbished and looked clean and practical. The bathrooms are next on the plans for refurbishment. The deputy manager explained how she is going to make them more homely while they are waiting for the improvements to be made. Evidence: The staff training certificates are displayed in the corridors up the stairways. This is because there are too many certificates to fit in the office. We talked about this because we did not feel this was very homely. And maybe it would be better for the certificates to go in display folders. The deputy manager agreed to talk about this in the next meeting with the people who live in the home to see what they think. The home has a housekeeping team who keep the home clean and do the laundry. We saw that the home looked clean and well organised. The odours in the home from it being old and the management of incontinence were being kept under control. The staff have worked hard to find appropriate flooring, cleaning equipment and air fresheners to maintain a fresher smelling environment. Staff have attended infection control training and protective equipment is provided. Staffing
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent, qualified staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable. People’s needs are met and they are supported because staff get the right training, supervision and support they need from their managers. People are supported by an effective staff team who understand and do what is expected of them. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. People living in the home have confidence in the staff that care for and support them. Evidence: The company have a recruitment procedure, which includes all safety and identity checks required by law for care homes. New staff have induction training that includes the Skills for Care common induction standards. One of the new staff was having their induction training at the time of the visit and another new staff was also working at that time. They both spoke to us about their experience so far. One staff said he had worked in one of the other homes in the company but had still had another induction at Eastry House because the training is tailored to each home. He said he was enjoying his work. Staff do not work alone and unsupervised until their criminal records bureau check has been processed and they have had essential training for health and safety. A good range of training is provided by the company. We looked at the training records and discussed them with the manager. All essential training for the health and safety of the people living in the home and the staff working in the home is provided. More than half of the staff team have achieved the national vocational qualification. Staff have recently attended person centred planning training, hearing impairment and learning disability and a course in dementia that was designed specifically for the people living in Eastry House. Staff talked about their roles in the home. We saw that there are enough staff to support the people in the home and so that people can do different things. We saw that staff are motivated and there is a good community spirit in the home. Staff meetings are held for discussion about how to improve the service and what is going well. Staff have supervision by the deputy manager to discuss their personal development and work. We had a discussion with the deputy manager about staff appraisals because the company do not currently use these. The deputy agreed that Evidence: she would consider this as part of the supervision process to round it up at the end of a year cycle and discuss it in one of the staff meetings. Conduct and management of the home
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is run and managed appropriately. People’s opinions are central to how the home develops and reviews their practice, as the home has appropriate ways of making sure they continue to get things right. The environment is safe for people and staff because health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately, with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. They are safeguarded because the home follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and makes sure staff understand the way things should be done. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service
. The manager and deputy manager are able to describe a clear vision of the home and a clear sense of direction. They have good people skills and understand the importance of person centred care and effective outcomes for the people who use the service. Evidence: Eastry House is one of a group of 5 homes on the same site overseen by the same registered manager. The manager is registered with the commission and has the skills and experience to run the home. Eastry House has a deputy manager who is based in the home and carries out the management of the home under the direction of the registered manager. The deputy manager has also completed management training and has the skills and experience to run the home. Both the deputy manager and the registered manager participated in the visit as part of the inspection. The company have been developing their quality assurance monitoring systems. The home have surveys that are sent out to people who are involved in the service including relatives and other professionals. The manager showed us the quality monitoring file. Since the last inspection visit, a operations manager has been employed and she oversees the management of the homes within the company. The operations manager visits the home and carries out the monitoring visits that are required by law. There have been major improvements to the environment with further improvements planned. The managers and team are responsive to the changing needs of people living in the home and have provided specific training for the staff to meet these needs. They have also recognised that the majority of the people living in the home are getting older. Their predominant needs are of those associated with old age rather Evidence: than learning disability. In response to this the managers have made sure there are good links with community health care services, appropriate equipment available and staff are provided with appropriate training. We saw that there are clear records in the home that are easy to find in the office. The staff know where the policy file is to refer to when needed. The home has risk assessments for the building and working practicies. Staff receive necessary training for the health and safety of the people living in the home and working in the home. Records are kept for precautions regarding fire safety and for environmental health. The last environmental health report was positive about the new kitchen refurbishment. This outcome group has been rated excellent because the registered manager and deputy manager have made sure that each persons needs have been properly assessed and have provided the health care, equipment, activities and support to meet their needs. They have also demonstrated that they are committed to reviewing and improving the service provided to the people living in the home. Are there any outstanding requirements from the last inspection?
