What the care home does well

The home under Mrs Davie`s management and leadership provides a comfortable, clean, homely and friendly atmosphere. Residents and their relatives are given clear information about the home to enable them to make an informed decision. Staff work hard to meet the needs of the residents in a caring, respectful and professional manner. Staff are trained by the company in how to look after resident`s health and personal care needs. The staff team are friendly, approachable and helpful and show respect for residents. Care records are very comprehensive, identify resident`s individual needs and direct staff how to care for them. A variety of good home cooked meals are served.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The new manager Mrs Davie is working hard to ensure the home meets the National Minimum Standards. The home is continuing to be refurbished to a very good standard by the new owners. New furniture has been purchased and the home nicely decorated which adds to the pleasant atmosphere. Staff training and training records have improved so that it is clearer to monitor which staff have completed the training required. Staff now have formal supervision. An internal quality assurance system has been commenced and some remedial action taken as a result of the findings. Bedroom doors have been fitted with automatic closures that mean residents can have their doors open but that the doors would close in the event of a fire.

What the care home could do better:

The maintenance records should be organised to ensure dates of testing safety systems are clear. The manager was reminded that criminal record bureau records are not transferable between different organisations and staff files should be audited to ensure they comply with Schedule 2 of the Care Home Regulations 2001. Staff updates for fire safety should be at three monthly intervals for night staff and 6 monthly intervals for day staff. The environment in the kitchen and the laundry were not up to standard but the Inspectors were told by Mrs Davie that work in the kitchen and the laundry was due to be started the week following the inspection. A phone call confirming this was later received.

Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. Mrs Ann Peace and Mrs Annie Taggart Regulatory Inspectors carried out this unannounced fieldwork inspection on 8h December 2006. It is called a key inspection and will determine the frequency of visits/inspections hereafter. Prior to the inspection, records held on file and information received from the home since the last inspection were reviewed and comments from residents and relatives taken into account. During this inspection the Inspectors toured the building, visited the majority of rooms, and joined the residents in the lounge and dining areas. The Inspectors talked to one of the Providers Mr Bennett, the manager Mrs Davie, members of staff, residents and visitors. The Inspectors examined records about care being provided to residents; as well as records of any accidents, or concerns or complaints, to make sure that the residents at Fraryhurst are being taken care of. Due to the frailty of a number of the residents it was not possible to gain their opinion, however from their demeanour and interactions with the staff team, the inspectors concluded that they were relaxed and content in their environment. The Inspectors were able to speak to some residents and relatives who were visiting the home and take into account comments. Some comments were: “Everyone is very kind and the food is good. If unhappy I would talk to one of the nurses or matron”. Another resident said, “We are lucky to be so well looked after by nice staff”. A recorded comment on a survey said that the relatives “were very happy with the way their mother is looked after”. Other residents and visitors commented, “ Staff are always happy and welcoming”. “Very happy, I never want to leave here”. “New owners have improved everything and the new manager is good”. From the inspection three requirements were made, however the Inspectors were made aware that action was already being planned to deal with the issues identified. The conclusion of the inspectors was that residents are well looked after by a caring and committed and well-trained staff team. As part of this unannounced inspection the quality of information given to people about the care home was looked at. People who use services were Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 also spoken to, to see if they could understand this information and how it helped them to make choices. The information included the service users guide (sometimes called a brochure or prospectus), statement of terms and conditions (also known as contracts of care) and the complaints procedure. These findings will be used as part of a wider study that CSCI are carrying out about the information that people get about care homes for older people. This report will be published in May 2007. Further information on this can be found on our website www.csci.org.uk. Unfortunately because of the frailty of the residents in the home only one resident spoken to could tell the inspectors that they had received information to help them make a decision about the home, records confirmed that all residents had a contract with terms and conditions. Two relatives who act on behalf of residents were spoken to and confirmed that information was given to them and they were clear about the contracts and costs. The complaint procedure is attached to the service user guide and they knew who to complain to. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The new manager Mrs Davie is working hard to ensure the home meets the National Minimum Standards. The home is continuing to be refurbished to a very good standard by the new owners. New furniture has been purchased and the home nicely decorated which adds to the pleasant atmosphere.

The staff members on duty were seen to treat people in a respectful and caring manner, to offer choice and ensure privacy and dignity. The records were very good, well maintained and had been updated. Pressure relieving mattresses were in place where a risk had been identified Mrs Davie was advised to remind staff to check the inflation on the airflow mattresses to ensure they are set at the correct inflation for the weight of the residents.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26. The quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service Residents live in a comfortable, homely, clean and comfortable environment and there are sufficient facilities and equipment to meet their needs, refurbishment work is still being undertaken at the home. EVIDENCE: When the Inspectors arrived at 8am. The home was warm, clean well lit and homely. It had been tastefully decorated for Christmas. The home has been vastly improved with new decoration and lighting, some areas had been opened out to give a more spacious look. Inspectors toured all areas and bedrooms were clean, comfortable and personalised with resident’s belongings. People were happy with their bedrooms and had their own belongings around them. Some had own furniture and own phone fitted. Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Communal areas were clean, homely nicely decorated and new tasteful appropriate furniture has been purchased. One carpet did have what looked to have oil stains in one area the cleaner said she had tried everything to remove but to no avail. The provider did tell the inspectors why the carpet had not been replaced but was advised to try to sort this out There is a small corridor which residents do not have access to which is used for storage. The courtyard area in the middle of the home was decorated with pots and containers with flowers and bushes and there is a nice garden to the rear of the home. Records relating to the testing of water temperatures and testing of emergency lighting were not as clear as they should have been and Mrs Davie said she would ensure that these were improved. The laundry and the kitchen are in need of refurbishment, however inspectors were told that this work was due to be started the week following the inspection. The majority of rooms had lockable drawers or a lockable box. Mrs Davie was reminded that the standard states “that doors to residents private accommodation are fitted with locks suited to residents capabilities and accessible to staff in emergencies”. Mrs Davie was advised to ask residents if they would like one and if so they should have one fitted. Not all records were kept at the home; the Schedules in The Care Home Regulations inform providers which records should be maintained at the home. However the records required were brought to the inspectors during the inspection. Mrs Davie said that in future those identified would now be kept in home. Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30.

All residents spoken with very complimentary about staff, residents who could not offer an opinion were noted to be at ease with staff. Staff were observed going about their work and they seemed happy and were caring and patient towards residents. Those spoken to say they enjoyed working at the home. Seven staff were spoken to and all said they were well supported and that they were able to look after residents how they would wish. They confirmed training and all knew the adult protection procedure. Staff said they are encouraged to undertake other training for instance NVQ and manager said over 57 of staff have now completed NVQ 2. Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The home ensures the staff have specific training to meet needs of the residents accommodated and these training records were seen. Staff recruitment records were seen and the majority were in order. Mrs Davie was reminded that Criminal Record Bureau Checks (CRB) are not transferable. As Mrs Davie has only been manager of the home since September she was advised to audit the staff records to ensure that they comply with the Schedules in the Care Home Regulations. Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 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): 31,32,33,35,36,37,38. The quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service Fraryhurst nursing home provides an open environment for residents to live in. Mrs D Davie is the Manager and under her leadership the home runs well and the staff are supported to carry out their work. It is apparent that the home is run in the best interests of residents. Record of monthly visits carried out by the Responsible Individual were available to evidence that the providers are monitoring the home. EVIDENCE: Mrs Davie was not on duty on the day of the inspection but came in to meet inspectors, she and the staff were very helpful throughout the day. The inspectors concluded that residents and staff benefit from ethos, leadership and management of the home. Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Mrs Davie has applied to the Commission to become the registered manager for the home; she has completed her Registered Managers Award and has a Level 4 National Vocational Qualification in Care. Residents spoken to knew the management structure at the home and one relative said that Mrs Davie has an open door policy so is readily available, staff and relatives also confirmed this. Residents told inspectors that Mrs Davie has a high profile in the home, which they like. Staff confirmed that they are supervised regularly and these sessions are recorded. A quality assurance survey was recently undertaken with the relatives and residents, notes were taken and remedial action taken as a result in a few cases where necessary, in others, residents and relatives said they were satisfied. Mrs Davie is also undertaking an internal Quality Assurance on the practices within the home a template for this was seen. The company also plan to bring an external auditor in to monitor the home in the near future. Two family members confirmed that they had received information when making enquiries about the home and one resident said that her daughter had acted on her behalf and had read the information before making a choice. Appropriate policies and procedures are available and Insurance cover is available in the home and was displayed on the wall in the hall. Service users are encouraged to manage their own affairs with the help of relatives or advocates if necessary. From reviewing records, speaking to resident’s relatives and staff the inspector concluded that in the majority of cases service users rights and best interests were safeguarded by the home’s record keeping. However the maintenance records should be organised to ensure dates of testing safety systems are clear and the manager was reminded that criminal record bureau records are not transferable between different organisations and staff files should be audited to ensure they comply with Schedule 2 of the Care Home Regulations 2001. The environment in the kitchen and the laundry were not up to standard but the Inspectors were told by Mrs Davie that work in the kitchen and the laundry was due to be started the week following the inspection. A phone call confirming this was later received. Fraryhurst DS0000065077.V315149.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Staff training records are available to indicate that staff have received training in appropriate health and safety procedures and that further regular training is been planned throughout the year. Induction training records were seen for new staff. Evidence was available that Regulation 26 visits are being carried out and reports written on the conduct of the care home which show the Providers are monitoring the home. The manager does not act as an appointee for any of the people living in the home and families or legal representatives manage resident’s financial affairs. For some people small amounts of cash are held in the home’s safe for day-today expenditure and where this happens receipts are kept and transactions documented. A sample of resident’s monies were checked and found to be correct. Regular management and staff meetings are held. The comprehensive organisational chart for the home is in the service user guide and points readers to who is responsible for what in the home and the company.
