This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection process involved interviews with two people individually. One care assistant was also interviewed and in depth discussions with the manager and deputy manager took place. Five care files and other records and reports pertaining to these people were inspected. Other documents concerning the running of the home were also examined. The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) ‘Annual Quality Assurance Assessment’ which was completed by the manager also provided information that influenced the outcome of the inspection. Three resident CSCI surveys were returned and in the main these people were very positive about the care and support they received in the home. A tour of the communal areas of the home was also undertaken and during the course of the inspection the interactions between people in the home were observed. The home charges £391-68 for people aged over 65 years and £358.02 for people under 65 years old. The latest Commission for Social Care Inspection report is available on request. What the service does well:
Over all the outcomes for people living in the home are positive and people are happy to be living at Glebe Lodge, people said ‘I like living here (at Glebe Lodge) the garden is nice- everything.’ And ‘I can’t think of a word high enough to praise them.’ The manager ensures that needs are fully assessed before people move into the home. The manager promotes good health and wellbeing by developing comprehensive and informative care plans that relate directly to needs. People are encouraged to be involved in developing and updating their plans. There is effective contact and access to health and social care professionals. Staff at Glebe Lodge are friendly and caring. The manager makes sure that they fully understand their responsibilities in promoting people’s independence
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 and right to respect, dignity and choice. The manager ensures that good relationships are promoted between all who are involved in the home. People are encouraged to maintain self-help and domestic skills and continue to access the local and wider community. The ethos of the home is open. There are successful systems in place that enable residents and staff to have their concerns, complaints and opinions heard, and it is clear that these are given credence.

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 Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3 (standard 6 is not applicable.) Quality in this outcome area is Excellent. People who use the service have their needs fully assessed prior to moving into the home. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Five care files were examined; four belonged to established residents and one for a person about to commence living at Glebe Lodge. Each file contained a detailed and comprehensive needs assessment. These provided detailed and individualised information about peoples needs including night care assessments, nutritional assessment, lifestyle preferences and social history. Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 In respect of the pending admission a pre - admission assessment had been completed providing basic information concerning psychological and health needs and highlighting risk areas including communication and dietary concerns. Records and reports also confirmed that people were able to spend periods of time in the home, including mealtimes and over night stays, to assist with the decision about the home’s ability to meet individuals needs. Contracts and terms and condition of residency were on each file of the people residing in the home. People who returned CSCI surveys felt that they had been provided with sufficient information about the home before moving in. And staff who were interviewed assessed that they were provided with sufficient information to meet the needs of people. One person stated: ‘The manager discusses the needs of service users to check that we can deal with service users and different situations.’ On the day of the inspection the manager and deputy reassessed a person who was in hospital to ensure, before they returned, that their needs could still be met at Glebe Lodge. Signatures also confirmed that people were encouraged to participate in the assessment process. Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. The manager promotes physical and emotional well being by ensuring that health and personal care provided is based on individual needs and that the principles of respect, dignity and privacy are put into practice at all times. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Care plans related closely to needs assessment and provided detailed information about the actions staff were to take to ensure that health and other needs were fully met. Care plans had been regularly reviewed and updated and signatures confirmed that people receiving support had been involved in the process. Care plans were individualised and highlighted specialist care required for example, community psychiatric input, files and daily records. Correspondence, reports and other records confirmed that people received medical attention, monitoring and routine and specialist health
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 checks in keeping with their needs. It was clear that people had access to full health and social care specialists including chiropodists, general practitioners, dentists, dieticians, psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses, social workers, optician and continence services. People said that staff supported them when attending outpatient hospital appointments. In respect of monitoring, this area could be improved if staff recorded weights either using imperial or metric measure and not both. This will reduce the risk of confusion in relation to whether people have gained or lost weight over a period of time. Medication record sheets were examined and no unaccounted for gaps were seen. This area could be improved further if all medication was signed in when received. Records confirmed that the effectiveness of medication was assessed and consultation with the psychiatrist or general practitioner initiated if there were concerns. Daily records, in the main, contained information that was pertinent to the individual and linked directly to care plans, providing a good picture of peoples response to the care and support offered. These were written respectfully. Observation and interaction between staff and people living in the home indicated that people were relaxed and spontaneous in their relationships and staff treated people with respect and consideration. Certificates confirmed that some staff have received medication training and the notes from staff meetings indicated these were used as a training and updating opportunity in relation to the safe administration, storing and recording of medication. Staff meeting records also confirmed that the importance of working in line with the homes philosophy of care concerning respect, dignity and choice was discussed with staff and reiterated. People were keen to say that their health needs were fully met and that they were treated with dignity and respect at all times. Comments included: ‘Staff – yes I like the people- they are very obliging.’ ‘I can’t think of a word high enough to describe them.’ And -‘ I need(ed) help with body cleansing i.e. hygiene; the staff are very tactful and never too busy to help me.’ Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from a service that promotes choice and individuality in respect of social, educational and recreational activities. EVIDENCE: Social histories were detailed and this information should help to devise varied activities that will assist with the maintenance of old skills and interests and provide opportunities for people to try new activities. Records indicated that people had enjoyed a variety of group and individual activities including a visit to Blackpool lights, theatre trips, shopping at a local retail park, games and bingo with prizes. This area could be improved if there was evidence that the activities on offer linked in with the interests that people had identified. People are encouraged to use local facilities such as shops, hairdressers, pubs and restaurants. Care plans and assessments indicated that people’s individual routines and habits were fully catered for and that the routines in the home were flexible. There were no restrictions in relation to visitors, going to bed, getting up, bathing or other lifestyle choices. Two of the three people who returned surveys assessed that activities always met their needs and those who were
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 interviewed were content with activities and community contact facilitated by the home, saying ‘my daughters visit every day- visitors can come when they are ready-I use the phone. I do some jobs, cleaning, washing up and set the tables- putting the cutlery out. I’ve been to Blackpool recently.’ ‘I go out, I have a radio that I listen to, we play bingo- I think the activities are brilliant.’ The manager has also ensured that people have been able to maintain contact with friends and family that have been unwell. Care staff prepare breakfast, afternoon meals and supper. The lunchtime meal is provided by an outside catering service. The meal on the day of inspection was not examined. People who were interviewed and who returned CSCI surveys commented that the meals were always sufficient and generally enjoyed, with two people being very positive about the food and one person observing that ‘There are some meals I don’t like.’ This person was also interviewed and she felt that potatoes, in different forms, were repeated, however she also observed that she was always offered an alternative if she did not want what was provided and that she had put on weight since moving into Glebe House and that food was in plentiful supply. People’s comments during the inspection about the food included ’I’m never hungry.’ ‘We get a lot of food and it’s good- there’s always extra available if wanted.’ ‘I like all the meals.’ The menu that was posted for the day was beef and onion pie or roast lamb or cheese omelette. The contents of the fridge and larder were examined to assess the food available to people. The larder was well stocked with fresh fruit, vegetables and salads, eggs, cheese, ham, bacon, cereal, milk, bread cakes, biscuits and tinned produce including baked beans and tomatoes. The manager said that some items such as fruit were purchased twice a week to ensure freshness. Food appears to be an important event in the lives of people living in the home and the residents meetings highlighted that people enjoy a weekly theme night that includes a special menu of for example, Thai, Chinese or Indian food and people were also encouraged to make suggestions for additional items. During the inspection people were observed freely helping themselves to drinks and snacks available in a small kitchen area. Nutritional assessments are in place for people who are vulnerable to weight loss however these would be of more use if a detailed record of the food and drink consumed were maintained and if weights were recorded consistently in a single format.
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People at Glebe Lodge are able to express their concerns, and have access to a robust, effective complaints procedure, are protected from abuse, and have their rights protected. EVIDENCE: People who commented during interview or via CSCI surveys felt that they knew how to complain and that any concerns would be listened to and treated with fairness. Comments included ‘I would talk to the manager or deputy- but I’ve never made a complaint.’ The notes from the most recent residents’ meetings also demonstrated that this forum was used to remind people of their the right to complain and to remind them and answer questions about the home’s complaints procedure. The majority of staff have completed adult protection training that has been provided mostly internally. However this training also includes an element of assessment concerning the effectiveness of the training and the knowledge gained. The complaints and incidents records in the home were examined. In the past year CSCI had received one notification concerning a safeguarding adults issue. This had been dealt with openly and effectively, involving the relatives,
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 social workers and senior managers of the organisation. The investigation was carried out under the guidance of the Stockport all agency safeguarding policy. A copy of this policy was readily available in the office and the manager acknowledged that lessons had been learned in relation to who needed to be notified in the event of such incidents. The member of staff who was interviewed was clear about the conduct and behaviours that could be considered abuse, she stated that if there were altercations between people living the home this would be recorded and discussed with the manager. She felt that the action taken would include writing everything down speaking to the people concerned and involving others such as their social worker in trying to solve any problems. Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment
The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The physical design and layout of Glebe Lodge enables residents to live in a safe, well-maintained and comfortable environment and promotes independence in some areas. EVIDENCE: During the tour of Glebe Lodge it was noted that communal areas were clean, comfortably furnished and homely. There is a programme of refurbishment in progress, a wet room has been installed, vanity units fitted and two bedrooms completely redecorated. The manager reported that some shoddy and broken furniture had been replaced. The manager stated in the AQAA that is was necessary to have an ‘Ongoing decorating programme to improve the environment ‘
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 In the main furniture, fixtures and fittings that were seen were clean, free from unsightly stains and in reasonable repair. Some domestic kitchen equipment was in place and used by people living in the home. People were pleased with their bedrooms and those that were entered had been personalised and people had keys to their bedrooms. The manager has reported that since the previous key inspection the garden areas have been landscaped and made more pleasant and safe to use. Notes from the most recent residents meeting confirmed that this area was being improved at it was recorded that people had requested the installation of a bird table. The philosophy of the service is to maintain independence and people who are physically able to do so are encouraged to take some responsibility for the general tidiness of their rooms. The communal areas, except for the smoking lounge, and the majority of private rooms that were entered were free from unpleasant odours. Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staffing
The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. 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. 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. People at Glebe Lodge benefit from staff in the home that are trained, skilled and in sufficient numbers to meet their needs, however more must be done to demonstrate that the homes recruitment and employment policies are robustly followed, and reviewed in relation to employing suitable people. EVIDENCE: On the day of inspection Glebe Lodge appeared adequately staffed, there were 15 people registered in the home and the staff complement for the early shift was five people including the manager and deputy. Three staff files were fully examined, and these included established staff and a recent recruit to the bank. The records held for each person included a copy of their application forms, some interview notes, at least two references, medical questionnaire and copies of proof of identification, Criminal Record Bureau checks and confirmation of POVA first checks. It was noted that the homes employment policy did not include renewal or repeats of CRB checks. Furthermore staff did not consistently sign the declaration concerning rehabilitation of offenders. This is required to assist with ongoing supervision needs and monitoring of staff conduct in relation to adult protection. Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The induction process was discussed with the manager; she stated that an ‘Induction Checklist’ was in place. This process was in keeping with Glebe Lodge’s management company Care Uk’s induction guidance. It covered topics such as understanding the role of a care worker, responsibilities of care work, reading through manuals and policies, introduction to the philosophy of care and the residents’ charter. The manager must ensure that she can demonstrate that staff have access to an induction programme that provides them with training and experiences in line with the recommendations from the Skills for Care Council Records and certificates indicated that staff had access to outside training and training provided by the manager. External training courses have included Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH). Training provided in house included moving and handling, health and safety, food hygiene and fire safety. Supervision and other records demonstrated that the effectiveness of training was monitored and taken into consideration, and additional training and clarification provided when needed. The manager also recorded ongoing guidance and training provided to staff in the form of discussions concerning patient care, personal care, risk assessment, care planning, reviews and recording activities and interests. The manager stated that in the coming year the training calendar would include specialist subjects such as the effect of current mental health legislation on rights of people and how support can be offered. People who returned CSCI surveys felt that staff were readily available and comments included ‘Day or night staff always available.’ Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35, 36 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People at Glebe Lodge benefit as the management and administration of the service is professional and competent, based on openness and respect and quality assurance systems are in place. EVIDENCE: The manager Sue Nixon has successfully completed the CSCI registered managers process and is about to commence NVQ level 4 in management qualification. Staff and people living at Glebe Lodge felt that she was open to suggestions and approachable. People felt that there was a response to any consultation and that this was an improvement since the previous inspection. People said:
Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 ‘the place has changed for the best-and we have been asked our opinion on the manager.’ And ‘We are asked for feed back- it’s open.’ In the past year anonymous staff and residents’ satisfaction surveys have been completed and analysed. This process identified that, of the residents who returned the surveys, the majority felt that activities were ‘Good’, and felt the level of care was excellent. Areas that needed to be developed were identified and there was indication- such as the introduction of themed meal nights – that when the areas for improvement were identified changes were quickly made. Separate and joined staff and residents meetings are also used as a means of quality monitoring in the home and supports an open, transparent and responsive way of managing the home. There appeared to be adequate recording and accounting of people’s money in the home. The accounts for four people were checked and these balanced. Staff supervision records were examined and this provided evidence that the manager spent time with staff, individually, in groups, directly as they go about their work and in private. In doing this she has identified, confirmed and built on strengths and areas of good practice. She has also identified solutions for areas of weakness including, general guidance, training including direct intervention such as shadowing, demonstration and modelling in order to improve work performance and the outcomes for residents at Glebe Lodge. The manager completed the AQAA confirming that all appliances and safety checks had been carried out within the 2007 as recommended by the manufactures or regulatory body such as the fire service. As identified previously staff have received COSH, health and safety first aid, food hygiene and first aid training. The manager should ensure that all inhouse training provided is regularly up-dated with current best practice. Glebe Lodge DS0000008601.V350940.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
