What the care home does well

Fountain Court opened in 2005 and has quickly established itself as an excellent home for older people with dementia. The home has an experienced and committed manager who is well supported by enthusiastic staff. The building is well designed and offers safe, comfortable and homely accommodation. One service user said: "It`s lovely, I live here." Another said: "When they (relatives) bring me back, I say `I`m going home`". There are good assessment procedures in place, ensuring that everyone who comes to Fountain Court has their individual needs recognised and met. The home enjoys a good relationship with its visiting health and social care professionals. Service users` rights to privacy, dignity and autonomy are upheld. There is an excellent range of leisure activities available, providing service users with opportunities for stimulating and enjoyable recreation. One visiting relative said: "staff are always doing activities, it`s lovely to see." The meals are good, offering choice and variety. There are excellent standards of hygiene within the home. There are good opportunities for staff training, including thorough induction training for new staff. Several of the service users made complimentary remarks about the staff: "They`re very kind"; "there`s nothing wrong here". Although not fully operational, the home is developing a quality assurance and quality monitoring system. There is evidence that the views of service users and their relatives are listened to and acted upon. Written feedback from relatives was very positive, with no criticisms. A relative, visiting at the time, said of her relative: "She`s 200% better since being here. We looked at other places, but nothing compares with this. We`re thrilled to bits".

What has improved since the last inspection?

This is Fountain Court`s first inspection.

What the care home could do better:

The home is still developing its care plans, which are generally good. They must ensure that each care plan is reviewed on a monthly basis and updated as needed. This review should be recorded in the care plan. During discussion with the management of the home, it was recommended that care plans could be further improved by including more information on the process of care, i.e. how the service user likes to be assisted. It was also suggested that the plans might benefit from some pictorial illustrations. Staff records were in good order, but must contain all those documents required by legislation, which are listed in Schedule 2 and Schedule 4.6 of the Care Homes Regulations.

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. Standard 6 is not applicable. There are sound assessment procedures at the home to ensure that service users’ individual needs are recognised and met.

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 health needs of service users are well met, with evidence of good multi disciplinary working. The systems for the administration of medication are good and protect service users. Service users are treated with respect and their rights to dignity and privacy upheld. EVIDENCE: All service users have their own plan of care, which is written in conjunction with themselves, their relatives and social and healthcare professionals. Care plans contain risk assessments, which include attention to the prevention of falls. There is evidence that initial reviews are held after the first month at the home. They must then be reviewed thereafter on a monthly basis. The care plans are Person Centred and very much reflect the individual needs of each service user.

At the time of greatest concern a fluid and food chart had been in use. Service users have access to the full range of healthcare services and where possible are taken to appointments in the community. It is recommended that the home obtain a copy of the National Service Framework for older people. The home use the Sandwell Social Services policy and procedure for the receipt, recording, storage, handling, administration and disposal of medicines. This is currently being revised and will include a policy on “homely remedies” (currently not covered). None of the current service users take charge of their own medicines. A monitored dosage system is in use and clear records are maintained of all medicines received, administered and leaving the home. There are systems in place for the appropriate storage and administration of controlled drugs. All medicines requiring refrigeration are kept in a separate refrigerator and the maximum and minimum temperature of the refrigerator is taken on a daily basis. All the staff who administer medication have taken part in accredited medication training. An audit of the medication is carried out by the home’s Pharmacist on a monthly basis. An inspection of a random sample of the medication and accompanying records showed that there were no discrepancies. The home was advised to speak with the G.P. regarding the prescribing of risperidone to two service users with dementia and to ensure that this is reviewed. Service users have access to a telephone and if they wish to make or receive calls in private a portable telephone is available. All clothes are labelled and there are individual baskets in the laundry to minimise any “mix ups”. Service users are encouraged to choose what they would like to wear each day.

In addition to the daily events available in the home, service users have recently enjoyed activities provided by a number of visiting entertainers. The home is proactive in ensuring that the activities are “person centred”. Staff are asked to complete an activity sheet for each individual, setting out whether activities are enjoyed (or not enjoyed) by each person.

In addition to indoor activities, the home has a safe and secure garden and a service user has recently been taken to purchase gardening Fountain Court Residential Unit DS0000064672.V268545.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 equipment and a garden shed.
