Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,4&5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Both the Service User Guide and the Statement of Purpose provide appropriate information about the service to enable prospective service users to determine whether they wish to move into the home. The pre-admission assessment process is comprehensive, developed for each individual and undertaken with the involvement of the resident, their family [if appropriate] and the community mental health team. EVIDENCE: The home is registered to accommodate four service users however, there has only been one service user admitted into the home on the 16/10/06 since its registration. The acting manager was able to discuss the whole process of preadmission assessment, including liaison with the community learning disability team, the prospective service users, and /or their relatives to ensure the transition to the care home was appropriately managed on an individual basis. The inspector reviewed the personal file of the service users. Case tracking evidenced that the home had obtained appropriate referral information including reports and assessments from other professionals prior to admission. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The inspector also saw evidence that the home had carried out its own comprehensive assessment as part of the admission process and that the service user had a trial period prior to his admission. Both the Service Users Guide and the Statement of Purpose were comprehensively written and provided appropriate information about the service to enable prospective service users to determine whether they wish to move into the home. The Inspector was shown copies of the homes contracts with service users, these were found to include details of the services offered and costs involved. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7,9&10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home assesses service users needs and develops individual plans and risk assessments to address these. Care plan and risk assessments are in place which were detailed and comprehensively assessed to the individual needs. Service users are encouraged to participate in the day-to-day running of the home. EVIDENCE: The home assessed the service users needs and developed all individual care plan and risk assessments to address these. The care plans address areas such as communicating skills, physical development, social and healthcare needs. Plans addressing particular service user needs such as support with personal hygiene and support with budgeting have also been developed and implemented. The acting manager stated that plans would be reviewed every six months or as and when required due to changing needs of the service user. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 However it was disappointing to note that these plan were not signed by the manager or the service user to indicate their agreement and commitment to participate in the plan. Detailed risk assessments completed for individual service user included risk of absconding, non-compliance with medication and challenging behaviours. One service user who has developed mobility difficulties has been assessed for moving and handling. All of the detailed risk assessments viewed by the Inspector had been reviewed in March 2006. The acting manager stated that the service user access local facilities with the support of staff due to his level of challenging behaviour, which was fully assessed and documented in his care plan. However the situation will be reviewed regularly and appropriately reflected when required. Risk assessments had been completed in areas such as physical aggressive behaviour, food preparation and financial management. There is also a comprehensive risk assessment around smoking issues and how the home is to help reduce consumption level. There is evidence this has been given a lot of thought and effort has gone in to make it work, whilst preserving the service users independence. Evidence of the service users minutes indicated that the service user was given an opportunity to choose his allocated key worker, which was also confirmed by the service user spoken to during the inspection. Key workers complete a daily record sheet recording any issues or progress that have been made that day in implementing the plan. The service user currently receives support to manage his finances due to the complication involved in transferring his finances from his previous home. CPA meetings and the home’s assessment has identified that the service user will need help and support around his finances. Details of the support he receive are detailed in the individual care plan. The service user has agreed to staff holding his money in a lockable box in the staff office and then makes a request for a small daily allowance. A record sheet signed by staff and service user details deposits and withdrawals. The Inspector was advised that the home facilitates a monthly service user meeting and that the aim of these is to include service users in the day-to-day running of the home. However it is presently conducted on a more regular basis due to the fact that there is only one service user presently admitted into the home. The Inspector sampled the minutes of these meetings which evidence that the service user used these meetings to make suggestions around areas such as; weekly menu, holiday, activities and choice of key worker. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 From sampling of a variety of records including service users personal files and staff supervision records the Inspector was satisfied that information relating to the service user is accurate, secure and confidential. The Inspector also viewed the homes confidentiality policy and noted that this includes guidance to staff on the circumstances when confidentiality may need to be breached, for example an adult protection allegation. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 11,12,13,15,16 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home supports service users to develop independent living skills and supported to access local facilities. EVIDENCE: Discussion with the service user, support workers, and sampling of the care plan evidenced that service users are supported and encouraged to develop independent living skills. The inspector saw members of staff accompanying the service user to the local supermarket to enable him to purchase his Christmas cards for families and friends. It was positively noted that staff also provided help and assistance in writing out these cards. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Assessment of the activity daily log evidenced activity undertaken on a daily basis and comments detailing outcomes. Discussion with service user, sampling of the homes activities log and service users meeting minutes evidence that service user are engaged in a range of activities that have identified as being of interest. The acting manager also stated she is actively in touch with the local authority to ensure that personal development activities needs are met e.g. day centre and possibly singing classes. The inspector saw a programme of activities which included activities such as shopping, cinema, walking and visits to the restaurant. The acting manager stated that service users would be encouraged to maintain contact with their families and friends and to make new friends through participation in community activities. Additionally visitors to the home are welcomed. From observation and discussion with the service user and staff, it was evident that the daily routine of the home promotes individual choice, freedom of movement and independence. The inspector noticed that the service user chose when to be alone and when to interact with members of staff. The Inspector sampled the record of meals offered in the home. This evidenced that a variety of nutritious meals had been offered to service user. Discussion of the meals to be included on the menu takes place at service users meeting and evidence of a menu preference questionnaire dated 2/11/06 was seen by the inspector. The service user spoken to during the inspection fed back to the inspector that he enjoys the quality and variety of meals offered. He also stated that he found mealtimes to be relaxed and unrushed and flexible. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 & 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are given the support they require to meet their personal needs. This is done on an individual basis according to needs identified in the care plan. Service users are given choice as to delivery of care. There are policies and procedures in place for the safe management and administration of medication and there was evidence that these were being adhered to in daily practice. EVIDENCE: The home aims to meet individual service users needs, and times for getting up, going to bed, meals and other activities are therefore flexible and tailored to the service users individual plan. Assessment of the care plan indicated that the present service user is selfcaring to some degree. His individual needs and preferences for how he receive his care are included in the care plan and observed during practice. During the visit, the inspector observed positive examples of same/preferred Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 gender care provision for example a male member of staff assisted the service user with shaving. Staff on duty demonstrated a good knowledge of the service user’s healthcare needs. The service user has been registered with the local general practitioner and other health care professionals including the dentist and optician. The community practice nurse was also visiting the service user on the day of the inspection with subsequent appointment booked to ensure that the transition process runs smoothly. The acting manager and care staff were observed to interact with the service user in a supportive and caring manner and the service user stated that he is able to discuss any problems with members of staff. The acting manager stated that members of staff had received Boots medication training in November and awaiting certificates. However the inspector saw evidence that staff have received in-house training and have been assessed in their competency to administer medication. Certificates were in staff individual files. The home has an appropriate medication policy, which gives guidance to staff on the ordering, receiving and disposal of medication. Medication is stored in a locked cupboard in the office. The inspector evidenced that the medications available corresponded with those listed on the MAR sheet. Standard 21 was not inspected on this occasion however the inspector saw evidence that the acting manager has taken steps to ensure that the ageing, illness and death of service users are handled with respect and would be considered as part of the ongoing needs of the service user. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are able to express their views freely and can discuss any issues with the manager and other staff. Appropriate adult protection policies and procedures are in place to ensure the safety of service users. However the responsible person must ensure that all members of staff receive appropriate POVA training. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints procedure that meets current requirements. During discussion with the service user he stated that his views are listened to and can make a complaint if needs be. Additionally assessment of service users minutes and daily log confirmed this statement to be accurate for example issue such as meals requirement and choice of staff was appropriate dealt with. The Inspector viewed the homes complaints policy, which includes guidance on how to make a complaint, the timescales within which the home plans to respond and contact details for the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The Inspector viewed the homes complaints log and noted that there had been no complaints recorded since its registration. There is a policy and procedure relating to the protection of vulnerable adults from abuse, which includes recognition, prevention and reporting process. The Inspector also viewed the homes adult protection policy and procedure, which Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 was deemed appropriate and is used in conjunction with London Borough Hackney POVA policy. This includes definition of different types of abuse and includes appropriate reference to the homes whistle blowing policy. The acting manager stated that all members of staff have been booked on POVA training, which should be taking place in January 2007. A member of staff spoken to by the inspector demonstrated some awareness of her responsibilities to report adult protection concerns however, the other member of staff did not have any awareness of POVA concerns due to his lack of experience working with vulnerable adults. The responsible person must therefore ensure that all members of staff receive appropriate adult protection training to ensure the wellbeing and safety of service users are met. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24,25,26, & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users benefit from a generally well maintained and comfortable home. The standard of the accommodation is very high. EVIDENCE: Florfield Home is fairly recently opened and it is evident that thought has gone into providing a high standard of accommodation which suits the needs of the service users and provides a comfortable, homely and relaxed environment. Florfield home is sited entirely on the ground floor; it has four spacious bedrooms all with en-suite showers and toilets. The communal areas are the lounge, kitchen/diner, bathroom and utility room. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The service user was proud to show the inspector around the home and his personal room, which was noted to include sufficient and suitable furniture and fittings to meet his needs. The décor and the furnishings both in the bedrooms and in the communal areas of the home are of good quality. The acting manager stated that service users would be allowed to personalise their bedroom as they wish. The home was clean, tidy and free from offensive odours on the day of the inspection and both the service user and members of staff were observed taking pride in their environment. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 32, 34,35 & 36 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are protected by the homes recruitment practise and supported by competent staff. Records and checks for both newly appointed staff and current staff are in place. Staffing levels on the day of the inspection were adequate to meet the needs of the service user. However the responsible person must ensure that staff are offered the opportunity to achieve the NVQ qualification. EVIDENCE: The acting manager stated that the home is in the process of employing a permanent manager, deputy and a senior support staff. The acting manager was advised to ensure that the Commission is advised on the appointment of a manager. There were two support workers and the acting manager on duty throughout the inspection. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 The inspector was satisfied through discussions and observation made during the inspection that the acting manager was aware of her role and responsibilities and has developed good relationships with the service user and members of staff. It was the view of the inspector that the staffing level was adequate on the day of the inspection to meet the needs of the service user. The acting manager stated that more staff would be rostered on duty should the needs of the service users require this. The rota seen at the time of the inspection accurately reflected the staff on duty. The staff spoken to during the inspection confirmed that they receive regular training and are aware of the policies and procedure of the organisation ensuring the protection of service users. Staff spoke highly of the present manager and also stated that they felt well supported with the present management team. They were also confident that any concerns would be dealt with appropriately. Staff meetings are also organised. The inspector noted that staff have mostly received one supervision session due to the fact that the first service user was admitted into the home in October 2006. However the acting manager confirmed her awareness in ensuring that staff receive six supervision per year and stated that the home has a supervision policy in place to ensure the appropriate level of supervision is achieved. Staff personal files inspected contained all the relevant documentation required in line with the National Minimum Standards. Assessment of the most recent employed member of staff evidence that he had attended an induction training program and other training relevant to his current line of duty. Staff spoken to during the inspection also stated they had received training in areas such as: fire prevention, infection control, first aid and moving and handling. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,38,39,41, & 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are benefiting from improvements in the management and dayto-day running of the home. Records required to promote and protect service users are generally being maintained and there is a policy and procedure in place for management of all aspects of health and safety. EVIDENCE: The manager’s position is currently vacant however the organisation has taken appropriate steps to ensure that there was suitable management cover in place until the post is filled. The responsible person is therefore advised to ensure that the Commission is informed once the new management is in place. Florfield Home DS0000064222.V322075.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 The acting manager demonstrated a good knowledge of the service users need and her role and responsibilities in running and managing the care home. She has a suitable professional qualification and five years management experience. It was the view of the inspector that the acting manager has the relevant experience to run the home in line with its stated purpose. There was no evidence of a quality assurance and quality monitoring system in place however, the acting manager stated that the organisation is undertaking this process and it should be in place by the next inspection. The responsible person is therefore advised to ensure that adequate quality assurance monitoring is carried out to include feedback from service users, their families and other stakeholders. The policies and procedures sampled by the inspector were generally found to comply with legislation and were generally evidenced as being implemented in the homes practises. All records required by regulation were available for inspection on this occasion. The records sampled were found to be up to date and in good order. The Inspector viewed the service users money and this was deemed appropriate. The records of fridge and freezer temperatures were also sampled and were found to be appropriately recorded twice daily. Fire records evidence that weekly fire alarm tests are carried out and that no problems have been identified. Evidence was seen that all members of staff attended Fire Safety training on the 4th December 2006. All other health and safety checks are carried out and appropriately recorded. The Inspector viewed the contents of the homes fridge freezer and saw evidence that open food was appropriately labelled. The dried food store was inspected and contents found to be appropriately labelled and well within best before dates.
