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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1; 2; 3; 4 and 5. NMS 6 is not applicable to this service. Service users are provided with the information they need to enable them to make an informed choice about moving to the home. Terms and Conditions of stay are issued to service users. The home was able to demonstrate that service users are fully assessed prior to admission to ensure their needs can be met. The home would be able to introduce prospective service users to the home prior to admission. Staff individually and collectively have the skills to deliver the care. EVIDENCE: The home has developed a statement of purpose and service user guide in line with National Minimum Standards (NMS), which is placed in all service users rooms. It is also displayed at the home for visitors to peruse. This was evident on assessment of the premises.
Frethey House DS0000064474.V253028.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 On sampling four individual care plans evidence was seen that a thorough preadmission assessment is completed for each prospective service user to ensure the home can meet their individual needs. Service users consulted and able confirmed being met prior to admission by a representative of the home. Service users are able to visit the home at any time prior to admission. Evidence was seen of enquirers completed questionnaires. The inspector saw evidence that contracts of the homes terms and conditions were given to service users. From the sample of service user plans inspected it was confirmed that specialist practitioners advise on some aspects of care in the home. It could also be seen from the samples of care plans assessed, that service users are being admitted according to the home’s admission criteria. Duty rotas examined confirmed that the home had a Registered Nurse on duty 24 hours per day supported by care staff. Frethey House DS0000064474.V253028.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7; 8; 9; 10 and 11. Each service user had an individual plan of care. The home’s care planning system demonstrated that care plans were kept under review however there was need for improvement. Service users have access to health care professionals expertise to meet their individual needs. Service users were generally protected by the homes procedures in regard to the receipt, administration, recording and disposal of medications – minor shortfalls were noted. Service users were generally treated with kindness and respect and those who were very ill looked well cared for and comfortable. EVIDENCE: The inspector assessed four individual care plans and met with the service users as part of the case tracking process. Overall the systems were well documented. Personal care had not always been recorded. One social record was incomplete. Nutritional risk assessments (MUST tools) had not been completed. Wound care plans were confusing as to the ‘type of wound’ and to
Frethey House DS0000064474.V253028.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 when the wound should be assessed. Some care needs recorded in the daily record had not been developed into a care need plan. Care planning was discussed with the management who agreed there were gaps and had already acknowledged the problems. This was being addressed by removing care plans from each individual service users room where they had been stored to a central secure area where the manager and trained staff could audit them and review them to ensure they were up to date and reflected all care needs. Evidence was seen that individual service users had been seen by and had access to a chiropodist, optician, dentist, and GP. Pressure relieving equipment was being used appropriately. Medication systems were examined to include records of receipt, administration, recording and disposal. Minor discrepancies were noted and discussed with the management in regard to recording. Overall good practice was maintained. Care plans reflected preferred names. Service users can lock their bedroom doors from the inside if they wish for extra privacy, and staff would be able to access the rooms from outside in an emergency. Staff were seen and heard to knock on doors before entering service users rooms. Service users spoken to and able confirmed that this always happened. Service users spoken to indicated that the staff always treated them with respect. They indicated that they felt well cared for, liked living at the home, that the staff treated them well and that their privacy was respected. Comment cards received indicated the same. Whilst in the lounge area the inspector observed staff assisting service users into wheelchairs ready for lunch. It was concerning that some of the staff did not speak to the service users they moved, and transferred them by lifting them under their arms despite already putting a transfer belt on the service users. This was brought to the attention of a senior carer on duty, who immediately spoke to the staff, and discussed with the management who agreed to address the issues raised. Policies were in place in regard to death and dying. It was evident when meeting with very poorly service users nursed in bed that a high standard of care was being delivered and systems were in place to ensure hydration and pain control. Frethey House DS0000064474.V253028.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12; 13; 14; and 15 Service users benefit from a range of activities to suit their individual choices and needs. The home is open to visitors at any time and encourages service users to access the local community. Service users individual choices and needs dictate the routine of the home. Service users are offered a choice of nutritious well-balanced and varied menus promoting their health and well-being. EVIDENCE: The inspector spoke at length with the recently employed activities coordinator and examined activities records. It was evident that a lot of thought had been put in to activity provision at the home. Activities such as flexercise, art and crafts, reading, aromatherapy, music, manicures, board games and trips out are provided. Service users consulted indicated that they thought the activity provision had improved and was adequate. Evidence of 1:1 activities was recorded in individual care records sampled. The homes visitors record evidence many visitors to the home. Relatives were seen visiting on the day of inspection and spoke highly of the care provision.
Frethey House DS0000064474.V253028.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 Service users consulted and able were happy at the home and felt they were given a choice of daily living of when to get up and go to bed. Evidence was seen of service users in their own rooms knitting or reading or watching TV. Service users were addressed by their preferred names they informed the inspector. Comment cards received from service users indicated the majority enjoyed the food provided. Service users consulted spoke highly of the food provision. One service user told the inspector that the menus had improved and the delivery of food on trays was to a higher standard with the use of tray cloths and serviettes. Relatives spoken to told the inspector that the food provision was much improved and that cakes, biscuits and fruit are offered for afternoon tea. The inspector observed the lunchtime meal being eaten. The tables were laid nicely and there was a choice of a cheeseboard, fresh fruit and a dessert after the main course. Many service users in the dining room had not finished their main meal and told the inspector it was very tasty but too much. It was concerning to see the dining room unsupervised whilst staff went to the kitchen to get desserts and some service users had not finished their meals and needed assistance. This was brought to the attention of the Nurse in Charge and the management who agreed that this was not acceptable and that it would be addressed. The home is in the process of changing the routine of delivery of food from the kitchen to the dining room and a hot trolley will be used and served from in the dining room, which will prevent the dining room from being unsupervised at any time. The kitchen was well equipped clean and organised. More kitchen staff had been employed. Frethey House DS0000064474.V253028.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 Complaints and Protection
