What the care home does well

Care records are professionally written and informative. Care plans are updated and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that the standard of care remained constant. The care staff work well as a team and show a good understanding of the needs of the people living at the home. Daily routines for the people living within the home are flexible and the residents` personal routines and lifestyles are respected. Mealtimes are relaxed and unrushed. Menus showed that there was plenty of choice available. The food that was being cooked on the day was nutritious and appealing. Several of the residents spoke of how much they enjoyed the cooking at the home. There are regular planned meetings for the residents and people are encouraged to express their views regarding the service that they receive. The residents were very complementary regarding the quality of care that the home provided. One resident said, " I enjoy living here. My room is lovely and the girls are very good at what they do." Almost all of the care staff either have a nationally recognised qualification in care or are working towards this. Over 50% of the staff are now qualified. Thismeans that the care staff are better prepared to provide care for the residents of the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

This is the first inspection of Fleetwood Nursing home since new owners have taken over the operation of the home.

What the care home could do better:

The communal bathrooms on the first floor were very plain and austere and needed work doing on them to make them comfortable and homely. Bath time should be a pleasant and soothing experience in relaxing surroundings. Many of the windows in the home were old and needed replacing. They would be draughty in windy conditions. The manager confirmed that estimates had been received for the windows in the home to be renewed as soon as possible.

This means that their social, health and cultural needs had been looked at and a decision had been made as to whether the home could look after them properly and attend to all of their particular requirements. There were very detailed assessments within the personal files of the residents. One of the visitors who was spoken to said that someone from the home had visited prior to admittance to assess their relatives needs, and that they had a chance to look round the home before they made a decision as to whether it was right for their relative. Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Each person who wished to live at Fleetwood Nursing Home had been given a Service User Guide. This was in booklet form and told all prospective residents about the services that the home offered.

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 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): Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The resident health needs are met by good care planning and thorough procedures. The people in this home were looked after well and treated with dignity and respect. EVIDENCE: Everyone who lived at this home had a plan of care that documented all of their daily needs and how the staff would address these needs. There was lots of information written down. The inspector looked at five of the care plans and there was enough information in each of these plans to show that the care needs of the residents were being dealt with properly and appropriately. It was also evident that each resident had their needs assessed on a monthly basis to make sure that any changes in their condition was noted and acted upon. There was lots of good, recent information in the care plan about the health needs of the residents and how the staff at the home were addressing these needs. There was also good information written down about how the home had Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 asked for the involvement of health care professionals such as doctors, district nurses, psychiatrists, physiotherapists etc. Each person is assessed on a monthly basis regarding the potential for the development of pressure sores. Equipment was available for use in the home to prevent these. The inspector spoke to several residents and their relatives. One person commented, “This is my home now, I’m very happy with the care here.” Most of the people that were spoken to said that they were happy about the standard of personal care that was provided by the home. One relative said that there was sometimes not enough care staff on duty to provide adequate care. Fifteen care survey forms were filled out by the resident, carer or their families. All said that they ‘always’ or ‘usually’ received the care and support that they needed. These forms were set out as part of the Commission for Social Care Inspection process of inspection to help ensure that everyone’s views are taken into account. Only the trained nursing staff had the responsibility of helping the resident with their prescribed medication. This is important because it meant that staff had the necessary skills to ensure that residents received their medication safely as prescribed. The medication record sheets of each resident were looked at and they were completed appropriately. Everyone had a photograph attached to his or her records to help identification. Systems were in place that ensured that all medication was handled correctly and professionally ensuring the safety of service users. None of the residents were able to look after their own medication. Some of the residents were prescribed medication that was ‘controlled’ because of its content or strength. The staff at the home handled this properly and professionally. Safety procedures and policies were followed. There were some good examples seen of the care staff speaking to the residents properly, respectfully and politely. The residents who were spoken to were also complementary of the personal care that was offered by the care staff. This is very important because it shows that people were being respected and cared for well. Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.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 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): Standards 12, 13, 14 and 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Activities were varied and well planned, which contributed to the well being of the residents. Visitors were welcomed and valued family relationships were encouraged. EVIDENCE: The information that was held about people interests and hobbies in the care plans had improved a lot since the last inspection. This information is important because it helps the service to provide more individual activities for the residents. The care staff had begun to gather information about people’s families and life histories. Relatives had been asked to bring in photographs and memorabilia about the residents lives before they came to live at the service. This type of information is important because it helps the care staff to be more aware of people as individuals who have had interesting and varied lives. It also helps the residents to recall important times in their lives and improve their memories. The service also had memory games and reminiscence books about how life used to be when the residents were younger. This information provided interesting discussion topics for the care staff and residents. Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The families that were spoken to during the inspection confirmed that they were treated well when they visited the home and were always offered privacy so they could talk openly to their relatives. One gentleman said that he visited on a daily basis and was always asked to stay for lunch on Sundays. He commented, “I’m very happy with the standard of care here. They always look after me when I visit.” Those who filled out a care home survey provided by The Commission for Social Care Inspection said that they ‘always’ or ‘usually’ liked the meals that were provided by the home. The inspector spoke to the cook and the kitchen assistant during the inspection. Fresh vegetables were always used and the menu looked wholesome and varied. The midday meal was sampled and was found to be enjoyable. The dining area was attractively set out and there were flowers on the dining tables. The manager confirmed that there were regular activities, such as dominoes, bingo and other games. There was also an entertainer who visited the home on a regular basis. It is important that there is always lots going on in the home and that people are stimulated by regular and appropriate activities and entertainment. It was clear that the residents were able to follow their religious beliefs at the home. A Priest was visiting the home during the inspection to talk to residents.

It is important that all of the care staff that work at the home have access to this information as it helps to ensure that people are safeguarded from harm. Copies of all the home’s policies and procedures were available in the main office for the staff to read to help them in their roles as carers. All of the staff that were spoken to said that they knew what to do if someone was unhappy about the service. The complaints procedure was displayed in the home and was part of the Service User Guide. The manager was aware of her role regarding the complaints procedure and how complaints can be used as a quality tool to ensure that the home is run in the best interests of the residents. Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Those who filled out a care home survey provided by The Commission for Social Care Inspection said that they ‘always’ or ‘usually’ knew who to speak to if they were not happy with the service that was provided.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents are provided with a clean, hygienic and homely environment. Some residents had their comfort and safety compromised by old and poorly maintained windows. EVIDENCE: The residents’ bedrooms looked very comfortable and there were lots of personal possessions around to make the rooms more homely. This is important because residents feel more at home with their own pictures, ornaments and important memento’s around them. The home was generally well maintained throughout. The manager confirmed that maintenance tasks were generally dealt with quickly so as not to inconvenience residents. All of the rooms were well decorated and there was a nice homely feel to the bedrooms and communal areas. There were three lounge areas, one being a conservatory at the back of the house. There were Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 plans to add a conservatory area to the side of the house to increase the lounge space. On the day of the inspection the home was warm, clean, hygienic and fresh smelling. The communal bathrooms on the first floor were very plain and austere and needed work doing on them to make them comfortable and homely. Bath time should be a pleasant and soothing experience in relaxing surroundings. The manager said that they were rarely used and that there were plans to redesign and decorate them. There was a shower room on the ground floor that most of the residents used. Many of the windows in the home were old and needed replacing. Some were single glazed units. These would be draughty in breezy conditions. The manager confirmed that estimates had been received for the windows in the home to be renewed as son as possible. Many of the carpets within the home had been replaced and some of the rooms had been redecorated. A well decorated home makes this a more pleasant place to live in.

EVIDENCE: There were enough care staff on duty during the inspection to help ensure that the assessed needs of the residents were adequately dealt with. The staff rotas showed that staffing was good and that there were plenty of staff on each shift to ensure that people were being properly looked after. The rota also showed that the residents were being properly supported at night. There were nineteen residents living at the home at the time of the inspection and the manager had maintained levels of staffing for a higher number. Three people who filled out a care home survey provided by The Commission for Social Care Inspection said that they felt that there were only staff available ‘sometimes’ when they were needed. One visitor stated that she sometimes had trouble finding staff when visiting the home. Most of the care staff had achieved a nationally recognised qualification in care (National Vocational Qualification level 2 or 3). There was a good induction process to help ensure that new care staff were competent before commencing their role. There was also a good training programme to ensure that the care Fleetwood Nursing Home DS0000068069.V334549.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 staff were able to improve their skill and learn new ways to care for people. There had been recent training in safeguarding adults, dementia awareness and safety aspects around the home Three of the care staff were spoken to during the inspection and it was clear that they had the knowledge, skills and abilities to provide a good standard of care for the residents of the home. Staff files were examined and were found to contain all of the information that was required by law to achieve this standard.

There was a photograph of the staff member and proof of their address. Recruitment procedures were good and all of the staff had the proper checks completed ensuring that only suitable staff are employed.

Their care was well planned and the home was run safely and professionally. Good records were being kept of safety checks within the home.

Trained maintenance people were also checking the lifting equipment in the home on a regular basis. Staff were being instructed in safety aspects within the service. They were being shown how to move those residents, who had difficulty in supporting their own weight, safely and respectfully.
