What the care home does well

Residents receive an excellent level of care and support from a caring and respectful staff team. The new manager of the home is clearly committed to providing a good standard of care to residents. Both the manager and staff understand the needs of residents at the home and are able to meet these needs whilst ensuring residents are given as much independence as possible. The home itself is well maintained and decorated to a good standard. Food provided by the home is of a high standard and quality.

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 and 3 (6 not applicable) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The manager makes sure that all potential service users’ needs are assessed and that these needs can be met by the home before the service user moves in. EVIDENCE: The home’s statement of purpose and service user guide have been updated by the newly registered manager. Both documents contained the information required by Standard 1 of the National Minimum Standards for Older People. The inspector recommended that the manager review the home’s statement of purpose in relation to equality and diversity. This would ensure that the home’s statement of purpose reflects the diverse nature of the local community. One new service user has recently moved into the home. Records indicated that a full assessment had been undertaken prior to the service user moving in and this assessment covered all the required elements of Standard 3 of the National Minimum Standards for Older People. The service user commented, “From the first I felt secure”. Friary Lodge DS0000066206.V304261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff understand the needs of the service users at the home however care plans must be more holistic in approach. Service users have good access to health care professionals. Service users receive the correct medication at the right times by appropriately trained staff. Service users are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. EVIDENCE: It was clear from discussion with the manager and staff that they understood and were able to meet the needs of service users at the home. However this knowledge and information was not sufficiently detailed in individual care plans. The manager informed the inspector that she would be redesigning the care plans to ensure they are more holistic. A requirement has been made that care plans are developed to incorporate all the identified needs of service users, including social and emotional needs, and that these plans give clear information to staff on how these needs are to be met. There was evidence from the plans that service users have good access to health care professionals such as doctors, chiropodists and dentists. Service Friary Lodge DS0000066206.V304261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 users that the inspector spoke with confirmed this. The manager informed the inspector that the doctor visits the home every week. Records in relation to the receipt, administration and disposal of medication were examined. All these records were satisfactory. Two new requirements have been issued concerning medication in general. A picture of each service user must be attached to their corresponding medication chart. A list of all staff able to administer medication must be made which gives a sample of their signature as well as the date of their medication training. Service users that the inspector spoke with said the staff were very respectful. Interactions observed between staff and service users confirmed this. Staff were seen knocking on service user’s doors before entering. Staff interviewed were able to give examples of how they maintain service users’ privacy and dignity at the home.

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 Quality in this outcome area is good.

Some regular visitors to the home are invited to lunch with the service users. The record of visitors to the home indicated that service users were able to have visitors at any reasonable time. Friary Lodge DS0000066206.V304261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Throughout the inspection staff were observed offering choices to service users in terms of what they wanted to do and the registered manager was able to demonstrate a good knowledge of service users ability to manager their own money and whether another individual, such as a solicitor or family member was involved. Service users confirmed that they were offered choice and one service user commented that staff, “let you be your own boss”. A newly devised menu was seen and appeared to be nutritionally balanced. A record of meals served is kept and was seen to record a range of balanced meals. A cook is employed at the home on weekdays and was spoken to independently. The kitchen was clean and tidy with food stored appropriately. Daily records of fridge and freezer temperatures were seen and were satisfactory. Service users stated that the food provided was like “home cooking” and the cook was aware of likes and dislikes and any special diets needed. Service users confirmed that there was always enough to eat. On the day of the unannounced inspection the cook was preparing lamb casserole.

Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The service users’ needs are well met by a dedicated and caring staff team. All staff at the home must have a satisfactory CRB disclosure that clearly states they are employed by Friary Lodge. Continued emphasis must be placed on staff training and more staff must be trained at NVQ level 2 or equivalent.

The home employs one cook and one domestic. Service users that the inspector spoke with said they were satisfied with the staffing levels at the home. Service users said the staff were very nice and respectful. Nine staffing files were examined. Although these all contained most of the information required not all had CRB disclosures completed for working at this service. CRB disclosures are no longer transferable from past employers. A requirement has been issued that all staff employed by Friary Lodge must have a current CRB disclosure which clearly states they are employed by this service. Records indicated that 30 of the care staff have completed their NVQ level 2 training or equivalent. Standard 28 of the National Minimum Standards for Older People stipulates that 50 of care staff must have NVQ level 2 or equivalent. A requirement relating to NVQ training has been issued in the relevant section of this report. Friary Lodge DS0000066206.V304261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 From examination of staffing records, interviewing the manager and staff the inspector identified gaps in training, including health and safety training for some staff at the home. Gaps in staff training would be clearer to identify if all staff had an individual training profile, which indicated the training requirements for staff including mandatory training. The inspector also recommended that the manager develop a training programme to highlight training needs for all staff. Staff interviewed were positive about the training offered by the home and the manager was clearly keen to ensure all staff have completed the training required. Two requirements relating to staff training have been made in the relevant section of this report. Friary Lodge DS0000066206.V304261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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, 33, 35 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users, relatives and staff were very positive regarding the new manager of the home. More work needs to be undertaken by the registered manager and provider to monitor quality assurance at the home to fully meet this standard. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded by satisfactory policies and procedures. Better systems must be developed to monitor health and safety compliance at the home with particular emphasis being placed on fire safety. EVIDENCE: The new manager is a qualified RMN and is undertaking the Registered Managers Award in September 2006. Comments received from relatives, staff and service users were very positive regarding the new manager of the home. Friary Lodge DS0000066206.V304261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 It was clear that the manager has taken the time to understand the needs of all the service users and how these needs are to be met. Although some quality assurance systems are in place further work needs to be carried out in order to ascertain the views of service users and their representatives regarding how the home is meeting their needs. The manager must develop a quality assurance system that meets all of the requirements of Standard 33 of the National Minimum Standards for Older People. It was also noted that service user meetings were not being recorded. Two requirements relating to these issues have been made in the relevant section of this report. The manager was able to describe the home’s policy and procedures in relation to service user’s finances. She explained that one service user manages her own finances and all other service users’ finances are managed by their next of kin. The manager informed the inspector that all minor purchases would be paid by the home and that she would be invoicing relatives every six months to reclaim these expenses. Satisfactory receipts in relation to service users’ minor expenses were seen. Service users that the inspector spoke with said they were happy with the way the home dealt with their finances. Fire door guards have been fitted to all service users’ bedroom doors where they want to keep the door open at night. As these fire door guards are battery operated the manager must keep a record of weekly checks to ensure the batteries are still functioning. Although records were seen, it was not clear whether these were records of the door alarm checks or fire call point checks. A requirement relating to this has been issued in the relevant section of this report. Other records in relation to fire safety were examined. There was no evidence in the fire safety files that night staff are receiving fire drill training every three months. Nor did the records indicate when fire alarm and emergency lighting were last serviced. The fire procedures require further attention by the registered manager and two immediate requirements relating to fire safety were issued on the day of the inspection. The manager assured the inspector that the fire safety issues would be dealt with as a matter of urgency. Satisfactory records were seen in relation to gas safety, electrical installation and PAT testing. A requirement relating to mandatory training for all staff including health and safety training has been issued under standard 30 within this report.
