What the care home does well

The home has comprehensive care plans, which details the care support that residents receive. All staff receive medication training by the registered persons, who are both qualified nurses. The home also provides a good level of care and support to the residents. The staff are endeavouring to empower residents to make their own choices and to do as much for themselves as possible. The experience of the staff team in supporting the residents is extensive and many of the staff have worked in the home for many years

What has improved since the last inspection?

The acting manager is now the registered manager. The statement of purpose reflects the present situation in the home. The extensive re-pointing work to the front of the home has been completed and the loft extension to provide two further bedrooms to the home has also been completed. There are no longer any restrictions to residents using the kitchens. Resident`s wishes in the event of them becoming terminally ill and dying are recorded in their file. Risk assessments were put in place while the building work was taking place.

What the care home could do better:

Six requirements were made at this inspection one of which, was restated. A review to the care needs to an identified resident must be undertaken to establish if the home can continue to meet the resident`s needs. To ensure that health and safety is adhered to, all fire extinguishers must be kept on theirwall bracket. The oven knob and internal oven door glass must be repaired or replaced and the kitchen dustbin must be replaced to ensure that residents and staff can use the equipment safely. If residents are to be as independent as possible with the aim of moving into semi or independent living in the future, staff must support them in improving their domestic skills. All staff working in the home must receive formal recorded supervision at least six times a year to ensure that their personal development is being monitored and to ensure that they are being supported. To ensure that resident`s views are used to continually develop the service an anonymous and objective quality assurance monitoring system must be established.

The home is not purpose built and consists of two houses converted and joined together, with interconnecting doors and halls. Each has a lounge, dining room and kitchen. All residents have their own individual bedroom. The homes stated purpose is to support service users to gain sufficient life skills and confidence to eventually move into semi-independent or independent living accommodation. The aim is to achieve this by empowering residents to make their own decisions and take responsibility for their own actions, by operating a network of staff and fellow residents support in a homely, domestic environment. Part of the life skills development is centred on residents using local amenities, with support if required, in order to develop contact and equip residents to live within the community.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1 and 3. Robust assessments are being carried out by the staff team to ensure that they can meet the needs of prospective residents and that prospective residents receive accurate information about the service. EVIDENCE: A requirement at the previous inspection that the registered persons must ensure that the information contained in the statement of purpose reflects the present situation in the home has been met. Assessments of prospective residents are thorough. Of the five residents files viewed, all contained an assessment of the resident and the homes ability to meet their specific needs. The assessment of the most recent resident to the home was seen. It contained an up to date risk assessment, past mental health history, recommendations on tenancy and how the home will meet the resident’s personal, social and domestic needs. Staff were observed and listened to communicating with residents in a professional, helpful and courteous manner at all times. Glenholme Oakdene Psychiatric Residential Care Home DS0000010445.V265148.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 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. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 and 10. The staff team are not ensuring that all residents are fully empowered to be as independent as possible in order to eventually live semi or independently in the community. This has resulted in some residents becoming dependent on the staff team and being able to live permanently in the home. EVIDENCE: The stated purpose of the service is to support residents to gain sufficient life skills and confidence to eventually move into semi-independent or independent living accommodations. However, according to the registered manager, one resident has been living in the home for many years and has become dependent on living in the home permanently and lacks motivation. Another resident spoken to said that he has lived in the home for many years and does not want to leave. Of the nine service users comment cards received, six indicated that they enjoy living in the home, one sometimes and two that they did not like living in the home. A requirement is made that the registered manager reviews the care needs and appropriateness of the two identified residents continuing to live in the home and whether the home can continue to meet their needs. Glenholme Oakdene Psychiatric Residential Care Home DS0000010445.V265148.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 A resident who was spoken to at length said that he would like to receive all of his personal allowance at once, rather than a specified amount each day. When this was discussed with the registered manager, he stated that an assessment was carried out with the resident, who agreed to receive a specified amount of his personal allowance daily due to his risk of over spending. The assessment was seen in the resident’s care plan. The home’s confidentiality policy and procedure was viewed. It contained information on reasons for confidentiality and when it might be broken and persons who might be allowed access to confidential information. All confidential information especially resident’s personal information is kept in lockable cupboards in the office, which is locked when not in use.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 11, 14 and 17. Residents who wish, are confident that the staff team will support them in everyday household living skills and encourage them to engage in their hobbies and interests.

Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29. The registered providers are not ensuring the health and safety of residents, staff and visitors to the home by providing adequate facilities and ensuring that such facilities and their accommodation are clean and safe to use. EVIDENCE: Most internal areas of the home are being refurbished with new carpeting and some areas are being painted. It was noticed that a number of fire extinguishers were not on their wall bracket and some were propping doors open making it unsafe for residents, staff and visitors. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that all fire extinguishers are kept on their wall bracket. The tour of the home revealed that although most areas are clean and tidy, some areas are not being well maintained. For instance, in the kitchen, an oven knob and the internal oven door glass was missing. The inside of the oven was dirty as was the outside top of the kitchen dustbin, which residents and staff are using their hand to open, which may result in cross contamination occurring. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that the oven knob and internal oven door glass is repaired or replaced and the kitchen dustbin is replaced with a foot operated bin. Glenholme Oakdene Psychiatric Residential Care Home DS0000010445.V265148.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 All residents have a single bedroom. Three resident’s bedrooms were viewed and all were suitable to meet their needs. Two residents said that their bedroom is comfortable. The loft extension to provide two further bedrooms in the home has been completed and two existing residents are accommodating the rooms. Both rooms were viewed and have been built to a good standard. Although the three bedrooms viewed all contained sufficient furniture and fittings to meet the needs of the residents, two of the bedrooms were very untidy, with clothes and other items strewn about the room. This meant that people have to step on or over clothes and other discarded items left on the floor, which poses a potential risk to the resident, staff and visitors. One resident had spilt tobacco on his bedroom floor. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that all resident’s bedrooms are kept clean, tidy and safe at all times. The home has sufficient bathrooms and toilets throughout the home, which meet the needs of the residents living in the home and are lockable to provide privacy. The home has two conservatories where residents and staff are able to smoke. Some residents spend a large amount of their time in the smoking room, where they relax and socialise with other residents and staff. All of the residents are physically independent and do not require any specialist equipment in the home. Glenholme Oakdene Psychiatric Residential Care Home DS0000010445.V265148.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 33 and 36. Although the home has an effective and skilled staff team with the experience and skills to meet the resident’s needs, they are not being adequately supervised by the management to ensure continuity in monitoring and supporting their personal development. EVIDENCE: The staff rota was viewed for the month of November and there is usually two or three support staff on the early and late shifts and two wake-night staff and an on-call person for emergencies. The registered manager and provider are on usually on the premises Mon-Fri 9-5pm. Many of the staff have worked in the home for a number of years ensuring that there is an effective staff team to meet the needs of the residents. Staff turnover is low and according to the pre-inspection questionnaire, only two staff have left since the last inspection. The staff team have a good working relationship. Staff were observed throughout the day interacting with each other in a professional, supportive and courteous manner. Five staff were spoken to as a group. All have a good understanding of their roles and responsibilities and of the associated needs of the residents. However, on looking through six staff files, supervision is not consistent. One member of staff has not received formal supervision since May 2005. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that all staff receive formal recorded supervision at least six times a year.

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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 39, 40 and 43. The registered providers have ensured that the business is viable and that there is a business plan that covers future development of the service but residents, their relatives and representatives are not being given adequate opportunity to objectively comment on the quality of service provided. EVIDENCE: There is a service users audit questionnaire in place but the registered manager stated that this is filled in by the residents with staff support and is therefore not objective neither is it anonymous. A requirement is made that the registered persons ensure that an anonymous and objective quality assurance monitoring system is in place to ascertain the views of residents, their family and representatives to the quality of service being provided. The home has a variety of policies and procedures, which ensure the rights and best interests of the resident. The registered manager said that residents and staff have access to all policies and procedures. One member of staff was observed using some of the policies and procedures for her National Vocational Qualification (NVQ). Glenholme Oakdene Psychiatric Residential Care Home DS0000010445.V265148.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 The registered provider has produced a comprehensive business plan for 2005, which sets out the Home’s vision statement and strategic aims for the near future, including how the business intends to expand and grow and continue to provide a quality service to the residents.
