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. Prospective service users have an opportunity to “test drive” the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. 6. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 (Older People) and Standard 2 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 2 and 3 The home had written contracts in place with the local funding authority. All residents individual needs were assessed prior to admission. EVIDENCE: Three residents’ files were sampled and were found to contain pre – admission assessments that were carried out prior to the resident moving into the home. These identified the needs of each resident, and from this the registered manager stated that the home was able to meet the residents’ needs. The registered manager provided evidence of the contracts that are signed by the placing authorities for each of the residents.

Including their physical and emotional health needs. 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. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their Individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. The Commission considers standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 (Older People) and Standards 6, 7, 9, 18, 19 and 20 (Adults 18-65) are the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 Care plans were in place but had not been reviewed. The health needs of the residents are met, medication administration records were maintained, but other medication issues were identified for action. No progress had been made in obtaining the residents wishes in relation to death and dying. EVIDENCE: The Gables H58 H09 S13649 The Gables V224692 060505 Stage 4 amended.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Three care plans were sampled and contained information about the individual personal, health and social care needs of the residents concerned. Care plans are signed by the residents showing that they are part of the planning process. However, care plans were not reviewed and updated on a monthly basis. Some risk assessments had been put into place. The home maintains records of when residents have been seen by the GP, Optician, Chiropodist, Dentist and any other visiting medical professionals. There were no issues noted regarding privacy and dignity of the residents, and residents spoken with stated that the staff treated them well. The records of medication administration were satisfactory and no gaps were noted. The home uses the weekly Nomad system, which are checked appropriately each week. Medication bottles were found to be sticky due to spilt liquid medication, and therefore were not stored appropriately. The medication administration cups were unclean and looked old and well used. These should be replaced as soon as possible. One resident has a separate Nomad box that is supplied to the home, which is sent to the day centre on a weekly basis for afternoon medication. It is recommended that the manager obtain copies of the MAR sheets from the day centre for the home’s records. One resident carries and is able to self - administer her own medication, however, no risk assessment was in place. The manager stated that she had spoken to some of the residents or their representatives in relation to their wishes in the event of serious illness or death. The Gables H58 H09 S13649 The Gables V224692 060505 Stage 4 amended.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 (Older People) and Standards 11 – 17 (Adults 18-65) are: 12.

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. 13. 14. 15. The Commission considers standards 12, 13, 14 and 15 (Older People) and Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 13, 14 and 15 Residents were able to make choices and exercise some control over aspects of daily living. Meal times were well managed and provided a choice and variety of meals. EVIDENCE: Residents stated that they were able to make choices and decisions over their daily lives, for example, two residents chose to be in their bedrooms after lunch, and this was evidenced during the inspection. Residents stated that they are able to make a choice about their clothing, activities and meals. Residents stated that they were able to go out on activities to day centres, pubs and the local shops. Evidence of these activities were recorded in the activity books and on the daily Kardex cards that are maintained by the home.

The Commission considers standards 16 and 18 (Older People) and Standards 22 and 23 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 16 and 18 Complaints were logged in the complaints book, but the Complaints Policy must be reviewed and updated. The home’s Protection of Vulnerable Adults Procedure is not in line with the local multi – agency procedure, and training in the Protection of Vulnerable Adults must be updated. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints book where any complaints received in the home can be logged. This book evidenced that there had been no complaints made during the previous twelve months. Residents spoken to stated that they had no complaints about the home. The home’s Complaints Policy and Procedure must be reviewed and updated to include the Commission For Social Care Inspection address and telephone number, and the timescales in which complaints will be resolved. Staff at the home had not received training in the Protection of Vulnerable Adults during the past twelve months. The home’s Protection of Vulnerable Adults Policy and Procedure needs to be re- written to bring it in line with the local multi – agency procedures, and staff need to be made aware of the changes to the procedure.

Some areas of the old building require redecoration work such as painting and the repairing of water damaged walls. A few cracks in the wall must be filled and a cracked kitchen window must be replaced. Residents had access to a secure rear garden, which was being used by the residents during the inspection. The home has sufficient lavatories and washing facilities with one assisted bathroom. The manager was asked to provide a plan of how the home intends to meet ageing needs of the current The Gables H58 H09 S13649 The Gables V224692 060505 Stage 4 amended.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 resident group. This is to include mobility and access to assisted bathroom and toilet facilities. Residents’ bedrooms were suitably furnished and personalised. Residents stated that they liked their bedrooms and were able to have their own possessions. It was noted that none of the radiators were guaranteed low surface temperature, or had covers in place. The manager was asked to submit an action plan on how the home proposes to meet this standard. There were no restrictors in place on the first floor bedroom windows. One bedside lamp still had the plastic cover over the shade. This posed a fire risk, and was made immediate requirement. The doors in the extension part of the building were found to be unlocked and accessible to the residents, which posed health and safety issues. The hot water tap in the hand-washing basin in the kitchen must be repaired as a matter of urgency. The Gables H58 H09 S13649 The Gables V224692 060505 Stage 4 amended.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 (Older People) and Standards 31 – 36 (Adults 18-65) are: 27. 28. 29. 30. • • • Service users needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 28, 29 and 30 The Staff files did not contain all the detail required, mandatory training was not up to date for all staff. EVIDENCE: All seven staff files were sampled during the inspection. Some staff files were found not to include all the information as required such as two written references, proof of ID and valid visas or work permits. An immediate requirement was made in relation to the out of date visas/work permits. Some staff training files evidenced that a minimal amount of training had taken place since 2001, and therefore staff mandatory training needs to be updated. The Gables H58 H09 S13649 The Gables V224692 060505 Stage 4 amended.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 (Older People) and Standards 37 – 43 (Adults 18-65) are: 31.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 32, 33, 35, 36, 37 and 38 The home is not being managed to the standard required. Management must review a number of areas within these standards that require urgent action. EVIDENCE: There was evidence that staff meetings had taken place last year, but these had not continued. The manager stated that resident meetings do take place, but records of these were not available. The manager had received responses to some of the questionnaires that were sent out to relatives and care managers, however the results of the findings had not been published or forwarded to the CSCI Surrey Local Office. The Gables H58 H09 S13649 The Gables V224692 060505 Stage 4 amended.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 One residents’ financial records sampled were not accurately recorded. There were records for residents’ personal expenses, but no records were maintained of the fees paid by the placing authority to the resident. It was recommended that the manager include these transactions and receipts in her records. There was no evidence that regular staff formal supervision takes place, although the manager stated that she has daily informal supervision with the staff. Policies and Procedures of the home need to be reviewed and updated as some of these had not been reviewed during the past four years. COSHH substances found in the laundry were not kept secure in a locked cupboard. An immediate requirement was made in regard to this. A loose wire was noted to be protruding from a wall, and an earth wire was dangling from the ceiling. Requirements were made for these to be made secure. Hot water pipes in the laundry were exposed, very hot to touch and posed a danger to residents and staff. The cupboard under the aquarium that contained electrical equipment and a saw was unlocked. Additional health and safety issues were identified under standards 15, 18 and 19.
