We also conducted a tour of the building and had the opportunity to talk to residents who are in their bedrooms about their care and how they spend their day. Later on in the day we spoke with four relatives who were visiting on the day. Approximately four hours of the day was spent looking at care, recruitment and other relevant records in order to check the working practices of the home and to follow up the requirements made at the last inspection. Prior to the site visit surveys went sent to the home for residents, their relatives and health professionals to complete. 5 resident relatives forms were returned and one general practitioner completed a comment card. At the end of the visit we discussed some of the outcome feedback with to Mrs Gill Evans the Group manager of the organisation/acting manager of the home.

The process of admission is well planned and managed with clear information to enable the residents to make a decision about the services provided at the home. EVIDENCE: The home has a Statement of Purpose and a Service Users Guide. These two documents have recently been updated. This is to ensure that accurate and required accurate information are provided to prospective service users and their relatives when they visit the home or make enquiries to enable them to make an informed choice about moving into the home. The care files of one recently admitted person showed that the resident was assessed before admission to the home. The home stated in the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) that the home uses a validated needs Fairview DS0000034844.V365342.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 assessment tool that supports the community assessment tool used by health and social care professionals. This assessment covers physical health, psychological health and social needs. The AQAA also stated those potential service users and their relatives or advocated are encouraged to visit the home for a day and will be offered a meal. This is to enable the service user and or their relative to meet the existing residents and discuss the services provided before making a decision. Following the initial assessment key workers draw up care plans and ensure that these are reviewed regularly and record any changes, significant events and social activity. The individual is made aware of the one-month trial period during which they can change their mind. There was evidence of the home’s contract stating the costs and services provided as well as the individual’s rights. Fairview DS0000034844.V365342.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): 7,8,9,10,11. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home offers care and support to service users throughout their lives and towards the end. It protects service users by appropriate risk assessments and care plan review with the involvement of doctors and other health professionals. Medication administration practices are unsatisfactory. EVIDENCE: On the day of this visit we looked at two care files. There was evidence of preadmission assessment before admission of one new resident to the home. This assessment was to determine whether the home is suitable and able to meet residents’ needs. The residents are reassessed on admission before care plans are provided detailing how the assessed needs are to be met. This is followed up by monthly reviews and intervention as needs change. Service users spoken with confirmed that staff treated them with respect and knocked at the door and waited for an answer before entering to attend to Fairview DS0000034844.V365342.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 their personal hygiene needs. One service user spoken with said Staff are very kind ‘I get up when I want to’. We noted on the care file that there were risk assessments; manual handling risk assessments, nutritional risk assessment and weight monitoring records. These were regularly reviewed. There was evidence of visits from the optician, chiropodist and other health professionals on the care files reviewed. Medication administration was reviewed and some practices were noted unsatisfactory. Medicines prescribed to be given regularly were given as ‘when required’. The Group manager stated that this was agreed with the doctor verbally but had not been altered or confirmed in writing to reduce the risk of medication errors from happening. A requirement has been issued to remedy this unsatisfactory practice. The Group manager (Mrs Gill Evans) stated that she would contact the General Practitioner to review the identified medication and would ensure that records of all refused medicines are clearly documented including the reason for refusal. We will be monitoring this at the next visit. Records show that the home has a medicine policy was in place, there was evidence of receipt and disposal of medication and these were properly recorded. Action has been taken to provide training about medicines for staff, and this is good practice to help staff administer medicines safely. A local pharmacy supplies medicines monthly using a blister pack monitored dosage system. Some records seen show that the medicines refused by service users have not been recorded in the Medication Administration Record Sheets and no reason for refusal was noted in the daily record. There was evidence in the care files viewed of details of service users’ wishes in the event of death. One staff member that we spoke with showed awareness of policies and the procedure regarding dealing with a dying individual and at the time of death. The staff member was aware of the importance of keeping information about service users’ confidential.

Residents are enabled to maintain links with their families; they are also provided nutritious meals and meaningful activities. EVIDENCE: Care plans reviewed contained a social assessment form, which is completed by the resident, or their representative on admission to enable the home to plan a suitable activity based on the details given. The home has an activities coordinator who ensures that as many residents as possible participate in the activities organised by the home. The activities person is shared between the sister home in the adjacent premises owned by the same organisation. The individual enables the residents to participate in activities on Tuesdays and Thursdays presently, however the Group Manager stated that a care worker has been appointed as an activities person for the home on full time and will be starting as soon as possible and that this would provide more activity hours for the home. Fairview DS0000034844.V365342.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Whilst walking round the building we observed that there were a group of service users participating in flower arranging activities in one of the lounges individuals that were able to engage in conversation told us that they were very happy and that they enjoyed what they were doing. During a discussion, the activities organiser stated that there is a list of monthly activities for special events, weekly planned activities that include outings and trips.

The menu on the day contained a choice of two nutritional meals and a choice of pudding. One of the puddings tasted by the inspector was delicious. The meal was relaxed and residents were given the meals based on the choices they made after consultation on the meals available to them.

This observation has the Fairview DS0000034844.V365342.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 potential to cause falls and injury to the resident. This was discussed with the handyman and the Group Manager and the inspector was assured that the flooring would be replaced as soon as the contractor was contacted. It was agreed that that the home should contact the Commission. To enable us to monitor this agreement we contacted the home before this report was concluded and we were informed that the home had received some quotes for the replacement of the flooring.
