Furzehatt Care Centre DS0000061636.V301595.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS
Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Furzehatt Care Centre DS0000061636.V301595.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home
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): 1,2,3,5,6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective service users are provided with sufficient information to enable them to make an informed decision about admission to this home. Each service user receives a contract. The admissions process is safe. This home does not provide intermediate care. EVIDENCE: The inspector examined the personal records held on behalf of 5 recently admitted residents and the information obtained for a longer term resident. These documents provided evidence that a good level of information about people’s conditions and needs is received to enable the nurses in the home to make a professional judgement about if/how each person’s needs will be met. When possible i.e. if the person being admitted is geographically accessible,
Furzehatt Care Centre DS0000061636.V301595.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 the staff visit the person in their existing setting to perform a full needs assessment in addition to receiving documentation from other social and health care professionals. The individuals records contained copies of terms and conditions of residency between the provider and the residents and for those who’s care had been commissioned on their behalf, a third party contract for that arrangement. The Commission received written feedback about the home from 3 Service users, when asked – did you receive enough information about this home before you moved in so you could decide if it was the right place for you? All 3 said ‘yes’. One resident told the inspector that they had been unable to visit the home themselves before making a decision about their admission, however their relatives had visited and chosen their accommodation and the resident had been provided with an informative brochure. Another resident told the inspector that they had been admitted as a matter of urgency and had not been in a position to visit the home before they were admitted. Another resident confirmed that they had wanted to be at Furzehatt with a long term friend who was already resident, these friends were seen enjoying each others company and sharing that of their visitors and retold stories of holidays they had spent previously in various corners of the world. The inspector found copies of the Statement of purpose and service users guide available in the entrance hall along with information on how to obtain a copy of the latest inspection report. The residents spoken to about the admissions process said that the home was in a convenient area for them and their relatives and friends to visit. Furzehatt Care Centre DS0000061636.V301595.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Each resident has a documented plan for their care, reviews of these plans are performed but are not consistent this poses a risk that some health care needs may not be recognised or addressed in a timely fashion. Residents are protected by the homes policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. Resident’s rights to privacy and dignity is maintained. EVIDENCE: The inspector examined the personal records held on behalf of 6 residents; in all of these documented assessments were seen and provided information about skin integrity, moving and handling, safety - including risk of falls, nutrition and information about social and psychological needs. This information generates the plans of care, which provides the basis for the care to be delivered. There was evidence that not all plans had been reviewed on an at least monthly basis. One resident who had been assessed as high risk of
Furzehatt Care Centre DS0000061636.V301595.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 malnutrition in June was not planned for further review until September this poses the risk that this residents nutritional status may deteriorate further with no action being taken for a 3 month period. However another resident whose nutritional assessment had identified a high risk had been appropriately reviewed and a referral had been made to a speech and language therapist. Records are maintained for all visits to the home by social or health care professionals, all residents are registered with a GP. Records provided evidence that visits are made by General Practitioners, district and specialist nurses, chiropodists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and dentist’s. Records of outpatient appointments show that visits to community and hospital health resources are enabled. 3 residents provided written feedback, 2 confirmed they always receive the medical support they need and the other 1 indicated they ‘usually’ receive the medical support they need. The commission received written feedback about this home from 1 General Practitioner whom indicates that they receive appropriate referrals about residents from the staff in the home and that the homes management of health and personal care is good. The inspector looked at the storage and recording systems for dealing with medication. Controlled drug stock was randomly checked against the records held in the register and was found to be correct at the time of the visit. The medication system is well organised, the medication is administered from a purpose built trolley directly to the residents on a 1:1 basis and the administration records seen, clearly identified the amount of and frequency of any medication given. Records and discussion with residents provided evidence that they are able to manage part or all of their own medication following a risk assessment. The inspector found that one of the medication fridges contained 4 containers of eye drops 2 of these had not had the date they had been opened recorded on them, this poses the risk that they may be kept in use over the recommended period. Residents told the inspector that the staff respect their privacy and dignity, the inspector observed that when personal care was being provided this was done behind closed doors, the staff spoke to residents in a polite manner and were witnessed to knock on the doors to private accommodation before entering.

In the afternoon a group activity was held in one of the lounges the activity was both physically and mentally stimulating (carpet bowls) and appeared lively and well received. Records seen included activity plans and attendance and individual hobbies that the residents partake in are recorded. A monthly newsletter is given to all residents and displayed on notice boards to keep people informed of special events such as the summer fete. Activities records provided evidence that trips
Furzehatt Care Centre DS0000061636.V301595.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 to popular local destinations are provided. 3 residents provided the Commission with written feedback via a survey. When asked –Are there activities arranged by the home you can take part in? all 3 indicated ‘usually’. Feedback about the meals served in the home was good. During the inspection lunch was served, most residents had gammon served with vegetables and potatoes, options available included a vegetarian pie or jacket potatoes with fillings and various salads these are advertised daily as part of the 4 weekly rotating menu. A number of residents told the inspector they had enjoyed their meal. Most residents were seen to eat their meal in the dining rooms, some with assistance appropriately given by the staff. Four enjoyed their meal and conversation whilst sat at an additional table in the conservatory and some confirmed they have their meals in their own rooms. Of the 3 residents who returned surveys to the Commission 1 indicated they ‘always’ like the meals, 1 that they ‘usually’ like the meals and the other indicated ‘sometimes’ and commented ‘it would be nice if it was hotter on some occasions’. One resident spoken to said custard was frequently served with the desserts and that they missed having clotted cream. The people living in the home told the inspector they were happy with the visiting arrangements, visitors said they feel welcomed into the home and were seen to be able to visit their relative/friend in private in their own accommodation or socially in the communal areas. Residents confirmed that they are able to chose how and where they spend their time as well as times to rise and retire one person said they always get up early - about 5 am, but wont have anything to eat or drink till breakfast time, because they don’t want to be any trouble’ it was suggested that this early rising time could be planned for by the staff and perhaps a cup of tea could be offered earlier.
