What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The care provided at the home is relaxed and friendly and the home provides a welcoming and friendly environment. Observations during this inspection confirmed that residents and staff get on well together and residents are free to treat the home as their own.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has recently been sold and a new owner is now in place and registered with the Commission. The new owner has brought with her an expertise and experience in the care of people with a dementing illness, being a qualified nurse for many years working in the mental health field. This change has brought enthusiasm to the home, particularly to the registered manager who is now being given opportunity to develop her role, with guidance and support from the new owner. Staff spoken with all felt the new owner had brought about some welcome and positive changes and was on hand to provide them with support and help. Some additions have been made to the home, new fires, ornaments, flowers, which have improved the "feel" of the home dramatically. The inspection took place over the Christmas period and the home was very cheerful with the Christmas trees and decorations in place. Additional staff have been appointed for the morning time and during the night time. Staff shifts have also changed with staff now working much shorter hours. The meals provided and times are being reviewed and improved. There is a plan to upgrade the furnishings and fittings in the home, with one bedroom being refurbished to date. Apart from one bedroom, all the others have their own lock and key so that residents know their belongings are safe and secure.

What the care home could do better:

Information gained before a resident is admitted to the home needs to be much more improved. This will mean the manager and staff can be confident the residents needs can be met. The care plans and healthcare records need to be much better as they are not clear and do not provide accurate information as to individual residents needs. Medication also needs to be kept secure. It would be helpful for the home to know about residents social and employment history as this can provide a lot of information about likes and dislikes and how people like to spend their time and their interests. The home needs to make sure it is keeping all the records the Commission need. For example, meals provided, personal allowance monies held. In addition, a new accident book should be bought. Staff training should continue, not only the more formal National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) training but also training specific to caring for people with dementia. A review of the care provided needs to be organised so that residents, relatives and other healthcare professionals have the opportunity to comment about the care provided by the home. Supervision has begun but needs to be provided 6 times a year to all staff and needs to cover the topics outlined in the National Minimum Standards.The pre-inspection questionnaire forwarded from the Commission has not been submitted to the home. This questionnaire would have confirmed that the required health and safety checks are being carried out to ensure the health and safety of residents and staff.

Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was unannounced so the new owner and manager were not aware of the visit. The inspection took place over two separate half days and involved observing staff with the residents, and speaking with residents, speaking with staff on duty, the cook, the registered manager and the new owner. The services provided by the home were inspected against the National Minimum Standards. Four care files were examined, along with other documentation held by the home. Unfortunately, no comment cards were received. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The home has recently been sold and a new owner is now in place and registered with the Commission. The new owner has brought with her an expertise and experience in the care of people with a dementing illness, being a qualified nurse for many years working in the mental health field. This change has brought enthusiasm to the home, particularly to the registered manager who is now being given opportunity to develop her role, with guidance and support from the new owner. Staff spoken with all felt the new owner had brought about some welcome and positive changes and was on hand to provide them with support and help.

The inspection took place over the Christmas period and the home was very cheerful with the Christmas trees and decorations in place. Additional staff have been appointed for the morning time and during the night time. Staff shifts have also changed with staff now working much shorter hours. The meals provided and times are being reviewed and improved. There is a plan to upgrade the furnishings and fittings in the home, with one bedroom being refurbished to date.

What they could do better: Information gained before a resident is admitted to the home needs to be much more improved. This will mean the manager and staff can be confident the residents needs can be met. The care plans and healthcare records need to be much better as they are not clear and do not provide accurate information as to individual residents needs. Medication also needs to be kept secure. It would be helpful for the home to know about residents social and employment history as this can provide a lot of information about likes and dislikes and how people like to spend their time and their interests. The home needs to make sure it is keeping all the records the Commission need. For example, meals provided, personal allowance monies held. In addition, a new accident book should be bought. Staff training should continue, not only the more formal National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) training but also training specific to caring for people with dementia. A review of the care provided needs to be organised so that residents, relatives and other healthcare professionals have the opportunity to comment about the care provided by the home. Supervision has begun but needs to be provided 6 times a year to all staff and needs to cover the topics outlined in the National Minimum Standards. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 7 The pre-inspection questionnaire forwarded from the Commission has not been submitted to the home. This questionnaire would have confirmed that the required health and safety checks are being carried out to ensure the health and safety of residents and staff.

Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 8 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS 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 Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 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 At present, the home’s assessment procedure is not sufficient to ensure that a prospective resident’s needs are fully assessed which means residents may be admitted whose needs cannot be met. EVIDENCE: Assessment information on a newly admitted resident was available but from discussions it was not clear what information had been obtained prior to admission. The requirements of the Care Homes Regulations were outlined to the new owner who, confirmed that a new assessment procedure is to be implemented. The owner confirmed that as a qualified professional nurse with many years experience of caring for people with dementia she intends to use her own knowledge and experience to improve the home’s assessment process. This will mean the owner will undertake an assessment visit to obtain information from both the prospective resident and their relatives. As well as this, information provided by other healthcare professionals will be used. This will Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 ensure that full information is obtained and given prior to any decision being made Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10 The care plans and healthcare records are not maintained to an acceptable standard, which means that staff are not provided with updated and accurate information over care to be provided. Medication is appropriately administered and recorded although the safety of residents is being put at risk by medications not being stored securely. Generally residents are treated with dignity and respect although the input being provided by the owner will mean care practices will improve to the benefit of the residents. EVIDENCE: Little progress was seen in the homes current care plans. The new owner confirmed that new care plans are to be implemented in the home, which will ensure that residents’ needs are fully known and included in their own care plan. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 As recorded in the previous inspection report, discussions with staff confirmed that whilst they provided practical care they were unaware of specific care of healthcare needs. This means that the care provided is based on their own day-to-day knowledge of the resident and not from identified or assessed needs. Issues regarding the care plans examined during this inspection were noted, as follows: • • No evidence of monthly reviews Changes in healthcare or other needs were not added into the care plan – for example, one care plan stated that the resident eats well. Further notes state that the resident not eating well and needing a lot of prompting. The care plan was not amended with this information so any member of staff who read the care plan would not be alerted to this change. Care plan notes were not dated so it is unclear what is current information Where a resident has a management needs these may be highlighted and/or recorded in daily notes but no strategies are in place to guide staff as to how these are to be identified and managed Risk assessments not reviewed Risk assessment for one resident stated “night-time half-hourly checks required”– no evidence this is being carried out Weight records book evidences these are not being carried out on a monthly (or sooner if needed) basis No evidence of follow up action – for example, one resident was advised to see their GP for loss of appetite – no evidence this was carried out Social histories, likes and dislikes not adequately recorded and little evidence of social activities undertaken • • • • • • • On arrival at the home the medication trolley had been left in an open office with the keys in the trolley door. An official letter was sent to the owner regarding this. Medication records, including controlled drugs records, were examined and found to be accurately maintained. Observations during this inspection noted that residents are generally treated with dignity and respect. Discussions with staff confirmed a good understanding of the need to maintain privacy. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12 and 15 Activities at the home are being developed but need further ideas to ensure all residents’ social, cultural, religious and recreational interests are met. Arrangements and planning to provide good nutritional food are good. The residents are provided with good food to ensure healthy living. EVIDENCE: The care plans lack information as to the lifestyles of each individual resident, nor do they outline social, cultural, religious expectations. Some activities are carried out in the home but these tend to be group type activities, which are not always appropriate for people who have dementia. Some outings in the home’s mini-bus do take place. The new owner is looking to appoint a recreational therapist to work at the home to provide social stimulation and activities appropriate to the residents following her guidance. In addition to this, the new owner is using her expertise and experience and intends to reorganise the layout of the home to provide different areas for the residents to use, hopefully including a quiet lounge and walking areas. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 From discussions with the cook on duty, the menus are being changed with new menus based on nutritional needs of individual residents being set up. There are ample stocks of food available, both during the day and at night time. Drinks are available during the day. No records of meals were available during the inspection and the owner was advised of the Care Homes Regulations that have a requirement that these must be maintained. The timings of the meals have also changed, with lunch being a snack type meal and tea the main hot meal of the day. The cook confirmed his knowledge of residents likes and dislikes and who may be on a special diet, although this tends to be kept “in his head” rather than written down. The meals provision within the home is currently being reviewed by the new owner who is using her knowledge and expertise to make changes and improvements, recognises the importance of good nutrition for people at the home. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): No standards were assessed during this inspection as both core standards were assessed during the previous inspection EVIDENCE: Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24.5 and 24.6 Residents’ rooms now have a lock and key in place that means they can feel their room and belongings are secure and safe. EVIDENCE: A requirement highlighted at the previous inspection required the home to ensure residents’ rooms had a lock and key put in place. All but one resident now has a lock and key on their room and their own key. During this inspection, the new owner confirmed she has a plan of improvement for the home that will take place over the coming months and has begun by a refurbishment of one of the bedrooms. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27 and 30 The level of staff at the home is good and means that care is provided in an unhurried and timely fashion. Training for staff should continue as this means residents are cared for by staff that are trained and competent to do their jobs. EVIDENCE: A requirement highlighted at the previous inspection required the home to review the staffing levels to ensure that residents needs can be met at all times. Discussions with the new manager and staff on duty confirmed that an additional member of staff is on duty in the morning and at night. A new shorter rota has been organised and staff confirmed they feel this is much better and means that they are not working long shifts and are fresh to care for the residents. Staff also confirmed that there is a handover between shifts so they get to know things that have happened prior to them coming on duty. New uniforms have also been purchased for staff to use when on duty and means a professional image is being promoted. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 The new owner confirmed that all care practices carried out by staff are currently being assessed by herself as she is working alongside all the carers, providing instruction and training to ensure care is provided to the residents in a high quality and professional manner. Confirmation has been received that moving and handling training has been provided to all staff, although the new owner is to ensure each member of staff is provided with update training. However, other mandatory training (moving and handling, food hygiene, infection control and first aid) is still to be provided to all staff. Discussions with domestic staff confirmed they would welcome such training. More formal training in the care of people with dementia is also to be provided and a date for this is being organised by the new owner. Confirmation has been received that moving and handling training has been provided to all staff, although the new owner is to ensure each member of staff is provided with update training. Staff spoken with all confirmed that they have accessed various training courses and are looking forward to more training in the future. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 36, 37 and 38 The new owner is experienced and qualified and has brought organisation and expertise to the home which means that the residents are now living in a well managed home. The arrangements to protect the residents’ money are not being followed which means that resident’s monies are not satisfactorily safeguarded. EVIDENCE: Although there is a registered manager in place, the overall management of the home is currently being undertaken by the new owner, who is a qualified and has many years experience in the care of people with dementia. Discussions with the new owner confirmed that many changes will be brought about in the home to ensure the reputation of Fairways as a high quality care home is justified. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 Discussion with staff on duty confirmed that the feel the new owner has brought about welcome changes. Staff confirmed that there is much more organisation to the home and if something is needed it is done straight away. Staff commented the home is “going in the right direction now”. The home’s current registered manager is aware that she must achieve the appropriate management qualification (Registered Managers Award) by December 2006. From previous discussions, the registered manager will benefit from the enthusiasm, leadership and direction of the new owner. At present, there are no formal quality assurance systems in place in the home that involve residents, relatives and other professionals, although the home does have the Investors in People Award. This is something the new owner is to develop in the forthcoming months. Financial records were examined for residents and the new owner advised that the Care Homes Regulations require a record to be kept of all charges and payments in relation to residents. Personal allowance monies records were examined for several residents and, whilst some monies had been taken for Christmas Shopping outings, records were not accurately maintained. Confirmation was requested once the financial records have now been updated and are accurate. The new owner confirmed that bank accounts are to be opened for each individual resident so that a more accurate audit can be maintained. Supervision for staff has now commenced although not all staff have received supervision to date. Advice was provided to the new owner over what should be included. A requirement highlighted at the previous inspection required the home to ensure all the home’s policies and procedures are accessible to staff. The new owner confirmed that these are now in place in the office and discussions with staff also confirmed this. The new owner is advised to review the policies and procedures to ensure they provide accurate and pertinent information for the staff at Fairways. At the time of this report, the home had not submitted a pre-inspection questionnaire which would have confirmed appropriate maintenance and other checks are carried out to ensure the health and safety of residents and staff, although the new owner verbally confirmed that all the required maintenance for the home is carried out. The refrigerator in the kitchen was not as clean as would have been expected and the items of clothing and footwear in the store room meant this room appeared untidy. Fairways Residential Home DS0000065703.V264169.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 The accident book was examined. Advice was given that following one accident the resident’s care plan should have been changed. Advice was also provided that an accident book that conforms to the Data Protection Act should be obtained for use in the home.
