Inspection on 26/10/06 for Fieldway

Also see our care home review for Fieldway for more information

This inspection was carried out on 26th October 2006.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

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

Discussions with residents indicated that staff have developed good personal relationships with individuals. Staff were viewed by residents as "friendly", "polite" and "helpful". Staff were observed to offer assistance to residents in a discreet manner which respected the privacy of individuals. Feedback from relatives indicated that they felt staff "looked after" residents well. One relative felt the home was "very good" at dealing with any concerns or complaints. They also felt that "overall the care is very good". Residents were very happy with the food provided and the choices on offer. The menu offers a wide variety of food with a good selection of alternatives. The chef is well informed and able to provide diets for medical, cultural or religious needs. Staff are in the process of working to make the menu more accessible to individuals. Staff are provided with good opportunities for training which means that residents are supported by a well informed staff group. Care is clearly taken to make proper checks on staff before they start working to ensure the safety of residents. Staff felt well supported by the senior management group.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The care planning on the ground floor has improved with more detailed information and guidance for staff in working with individual residents. Staff on the ground floor are making sure that risk assessments are in place and are reviewed and that fluid balance charts are used appropriately. Information on moving and handling equipment and equipment to be used for the prevention of pressure sores is also now more detailed. Since the new organisation has taken over staff have reported improved opportunities for training which should result in better informed staff group. The variety and availability of food has improved. Additional training and monitoring has been introduced.

What the care home could do better:

The lack of fully completed care plans on the first floor is of serious concern. This means that staff cannot be aware of the individual needs and wishes of each person and therefore cannot meet their needs. This has been a long standing problem and failure to deal with this may result in enforcement action being taken by the CSCI. Staff must read and up date care plans on a regular basis. Generally care planning focuses on the physical and medical needs of individuals. Some work has been started on gaining information on the social, emotional, cultural, religious and sexual needs and wishes of individuals. However this information when it is available is not always used to inform the care and support provided. In order for residents to be supported to live as full a life as possible all staff need to understand the importance of activity beyond meeting physical needs. Improvements must be made in the information available to staff on the first floor for moving and handling. A review of the activities available and access to activity outside the home must be carried out. Staff must document how they are going to meet the religious and cultural needs and wishes of individuals. Improvements must be made in the standards of cleanliness. Consideration should be given to developing the keyworker role to improve the personal care and support provided to individuals. Improvements must be made to the recording and storing of medication.

Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection was carried out by two regulation inspectors. The inspection consisted of a visit to the home, discussions with residents and staff. Questionnaires were supplied to residents, staff, visitors and other professionals. Judgements in this report are based on information gathered from all these sources as well as observations made by the inspectors during the visit to the home. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The care planning on the ground floor has improved with more detailed information and guidance for staff in working with individual residents. Staff on the ground floor are making sure that risk assessments are in place and are reviewed and that fluid balance charts are used appropriately. Information on moving and handling equipment and equipment to be used for the prevention of pressure sores is also now more detailed.

Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 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 Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3&5 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Assessments are carried out before people are admitted to the home. However staff were not using the information gained from these assessments to set up initial care plans. Residents and their families or representatives can visit before they make a decision about moving in. EVIDENCE: Before anyone is admitted assessments of their needs are carried out. These assessments are completed by staff from social services and or staff from the home. This information should be used by staff to ensure that the service can meet the individual needs of the person and to set up an initial care plan. Staff need to make sure that assessments include the social, emotional, cultural and religious needs and wishes of each person as well as their physical and medical needs. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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 Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The standard of care planning must improve to make sure that the health, personal and social care needs of each individual are known and can be met. The health care needs of each person must be monitored, recorded and acted upon. Staff must be directed to read and up date care plans on a regular basis. Further work needs to be done to ensure up to date and accurate records are maintained on medication and that medication is stored safely. Generally residents felt that staff treated them with respect and also respected their privacy. EVIDENCE: We found a difference in the quality and availability of care plans between the ground and first floors. Care plans were in place on the ground floor and contained good information on the physical and medical needs of individuals. Staff were provided with appropriate information on moving and handling and pressure relieving actions and equipment for residents. Referrals were seen to be made to other professionals if needed and staff were being provided with good information on communicating with individual residents. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Further work needs to be done to include more information on the social, cultural, emotional and religious needs of each person and how these are going to be met. Staff are clearly having some difficulty in completing care planning information on expressing sexuality. It is recommended that staff are provided with training on relationships and sexuality. The inspectors found instances where parts of the care planning documentation had not been fully completed. Staff need to provide more information in certain circumstances. In one instance staff had documented that one person suffered from confusion and could become aggressive. However no information was supplied as to what type of aggressive behaviour, if there were any known triggers or how this might be managed. Maps of Life which provide information on a persons previous interests, occupation and social links had been completed in some instances but this information was not used to inform the care planning. In one instance on the first floor a resident who had been admitted to the home eight days earlier had no care plan. A pre admission care management assessment was available. However this information had not been used by staff or added to provide a plan of care. Pre admission information stated that this persons low weight was a matter for concern and that they needed dietary supplements but these had been discontinued. Staff were unable to provide a clear reason for this. Staff informed the inspectors that they would be monitoring this persons weight over the next few days however staff had not recorded the residents weight since admission and so would have no base line to assess whether this continues to be a problem. Staff were not aware of the religion of this resident nor did they have any clear information on supporting this person to mobilise. The manual handling assessment carried out by staff did not take into account the pre admission assessment. The inspectors were informed that this resident did have a keyworker. However discussions with this member of staff revealed that they had been informed that they were the keyworker just before speaking to one of the inspectors. It is of serious concern that there was no evidence of any planning for the admission of this resident by staff on the unit. This lack of planning places residents at risk and indicates staff give little thought to the admission process or individualised care. The inspectors are aware that the organisation is about to introduce a new care planning system. Staff reported that they would be receiving training on the new system. However in order to meet the needs of the present group of residents a care plan using the present system must be in place for all individuals in the home. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Generally the daily records focused on the physical care provided by staff for individuals. This information tended to be repetitive, lacking in detail and with no information on the day to day social activities. Overall staff were seen to keep good records of visits by other professionals and to carry out risk assessments. Staff have also take time to talk with residents and or their representatives to make sure that they are aware of the wishes of individuals around terminal care and actions they want taken following their death. Staff must make sure that they sign for medication at the time of administration. Medication records were not signed by staff in a number of instances although the medication appeared to have been given. In one instance staff had signed that medication had been given and it had not. Staff must also ensure that where a medication has a shelf life when opened the date of opening in recorded. One bottle of medication which was to be used within fourteen days of opening was not marked with the date. One bottle of eye drops, which should be used within 28 days, was marked as opened in August of this year but was still in the home in October. Staff keep a record of the temperature of the fridges used for storing certain medication. On seven days in October of this year the record of temperature showed nine degrees centigrade. This is above the “safe” temperature. However there was no record that the fridge should not be used or that action had been taken to have the temperature adjusted. Staff must ensure that all medication is stored at the correct temperature. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 & 15 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are no restrictions on visitors to the home. Residents can meet with visitors in the privacy of their own room. Residents are given the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities. The activities within the home and the opportunities to take part in activities outside the home need to be reviewed. The social, cultural and religious wishes of residents need to be included within the care planning. Improvements have been made to the food and the majority of residents were happy with the choices available to them. Staff need to take care to communicate with the catering staff regarding the religious or cultural needs and wishes of individuals. The presentation of meals needs to be improved. EVIDENCE: At the time of this visit one person was employed specifically to organise and provide activities for residents. The inspectors were informed that the home was advertising for an additional part time worker. This reduction in the activities staff has restricted the availability of activities. The inspectors spoke with a number of residents who felt dissatisfied with the frequency and type of activities available. Comments included; “there are activities but I don’t do them”, “we are just sitting around counting the Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 patterns on the four walls”, “I’m stuck here in the morning and that’s it” and “It’s boring you get up, get dressed and come down here (the lounge). Some of the residents spoken to said that they were happy with their own company and so did not tend to join in activities. Others said they enjoyed some of the things on offer such as art and crafts. Residents said that there were “no trips out” and that “you never see outside”, one person commented that the only time they have been outside the home was the opening ceremony for the sensory garden. In light of the comments received a review of the type of activities, access to the community and the frequency must be carried out. In order for a comprehensive range of activity to be developed all staff will need to recognise the importance of and be engaged in the social aspects of the care provided. In order to meet the religious and cultural needs of individual staff need to be aware of individual needs and wishes and liaise with catering staff. The chef was unaware of the cultural or religious needs of the new resident as care staff had not passed on any information about this person. Information on how the religious needs and wishes of residents will be met must be included in the care planning. Residents confirmed that they can have visitors at any time and that they can meet with them in the privacy of their own room or in the communal areas of the home. A number of residents spoken to have regular visits from family and friends. Comments from residents on the food provided were mostly positive. Residents said “the food is very good”, “I get what I want when I want it”, “I can choose what I like”, “it’s very good, I am putting on weight” and “if you don’t like what is for dinner they will get you something else”. Residents felt they were given “plenty” to eat. A four week menu is in place with alternatives available at each meal times. Residents can choose from a variety at breakfast including a cooked meal, a two course lunch and a three course supper. A snack of sandwiches and cheese and biscuits is provided later in the evening. Fresh fruit is available as an alternative to cake in the afternoon. The chef can cater for various diets. Staff must ensure that the chef is informed of any new resident who may require a special diet for cultural or religious reasons. Residents make their own choices about meals on a daily basis. The chef frequently meets with residents to ensure that they have the opportunity to tell him of any problems. At the time of this visit staff were looking at providing more pictorial information and the organisation was providing new menu boards for the home. It was noted that staff were providing meals on trays without condiments. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 & 18 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A complaints procedure is available. Staff are provided with training on the protection of vulnerable adults and are aware of what action they must take should there be any allegations of abuse. EVIDENCE: The complaints procedure is available and residents comments indicated that they had confidence in the staff group to deal with any concerns they may have. A record of any complaint made about the service is kept along with any action taken and the outcome. Staff were aware of the complaints process. A number of complimentary letters were seen to have been received thanking staff for the care provided to relatives. The inspectors are aware that the manager is dealing with one complaint about the service at the moment. Staff have been provided with training on the protection of vulnerable adults which ensures that they are aware of their role and responsibilities should they have any concerns about a resident. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 23 & 26 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A number of areas in the home are showing signs of wear and tear. The organisation is aware of these and the inspectors were informed that a plan for the redecoration of the home was in place. In order to make sure that residents live in a clean environment a review of the cleaning programme must be carried out. EVIDENCE: This is a purpose built home where each resident is provided with their own single bedroom accommodation with en suite toilet facilities. The home has a variety of assisted baths and showers on each floor. The inspectors were informed that a programme for redecoration had commenced. A number of areas are showing signs of wear and tear. One lounge has been redecorated to a high standard. Other lounges are in poor condition and give the appearance of being quite bare. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 A number of bathrooms were also being used to store equipment. It is recommended that if there is a shortage of storage space one area is used thereby keeping other bathrooms free for residents use. The standard of hygiene needs to be improved. The inspectors found lounge chairs to be very dirty. Bathrooms needed cleaning. In one bathroom the inspectors found a soiled china cup and a latex glove which had become stuck to an old temperature record. The carpets in both first floor lounges needed cleaning. The standards of cleanliness in the small kitchen unit on the first floor needs to be improved. Residents felt happy with their individual rooms. A number of residents had individualised their rooms with personal belongings. One resident felt that more call bells were needed in the lounge area and it was noted that the call bell for one resident did not have a long enough lead. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents made positive comments on the approach of the staff team. The recruitment procedure assists in making sure that residents are protected. Staff are provided with good opportunities for training which ensures that residents are supported by a well informed staff group. Further work needs to be done so that staff can produce person cantered care planning. EVIDENCE: Residents said that staff are; “very good”, “nice girls”, “very good I ring my bell and they come” and that “nothing is too much trouble”, “staff are lovely”, “they are good to you here “and “always polite”. Comments from two residents indicated that they felt staff could communicate more and spend more time with them. They felt that staff focused on “what was to be done” and then moved on to the next task. Comments from one resident indicated that new staff in particular were not always well informed on their special needs and did not provide care in an appropriate manner for example leaving drinks out of reach or providing food which requires two hands to eat. This can be addressed by providing detailed care planning and making sure that staff read and understand the care plans. Sufficient staff were seen to be employed to meet the needs of the present resident group. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staff said they are offered good opportunities for training. Recent training has included the protection of vulnerable adults, challenging behaviour, fire and first aid. Staff spoken to have completed NVQ level 2 and new staff have completed an induction programme. The record of staff training needs to show that all staff providing care have received a minimum of three paid days training a year and that they have received updates on training such as manual handling and first aid. The home has a keyworker system which staff said offered them the opportunity to spend more time with individual residents and give them “extra” attention. The keyworker role could be further developed and expanded to offer more personalised work and care planning. Staff records showed that the appropriate checks are carried out, including Criminal Records Bureau checks and that references are sought before anyone starts working in the home. This assists in making sure that residents are protected from unsuitable staff. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35 & 38 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The registered manager has the knowledge and skills to run a home of this type. Further work needs to be done to ensure that residents are involved and consulted on the way in which the home operates. Appropriate checks are carried out on the home and equipment to ensure the health and safety of residents, staff and visitors to the home. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has the appropriate experience and knowledge to run this type of service. Facilities are available for residents to deposit small amounts of money with the home for safekeeping. The organisation has well organised, safe systems for the storage and management of this money. Fieldway DS0000019090.V317378.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Further work needs to be done to complete an annual appraisal of the care provided. This appraisal needs to include consultation with residents and the results of such consultation needs to be made available to present and prospective service users. Evidence that residents are consulted on the way in which the service is run needs to be in place. Records showed regular checks being carried out on the environment and equipment to ensure the health and safety of residents. Staff have received training on health and safety issues. As noted previously improvements need to be made to the standards of cleanliness to protect the health and safety of residents and staff. A record of all accidents with actions taken is kept and all incidents are signed off by the registered manager.
