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): EVIDENCE: Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.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&9 The care plan system in place needs to be clear and consistent to ensure that that staff meet residents’ assessed needs satisfactorily. Risk management strategies are in place, this ensures that residents are encouraged to take risks and to be independent. EVIDENCE: The care plan for a particular resident who has been presenting challenging behaviour was examined. A Risk assessment and action plan was in place. However, the documents were not dated and there was no evidence to indicate that they were being kept under review. It was recorded in the individual’s plan that every Monday staff should inform the resident in writing that her room would be checked for out of date food and excess newspapers. This procedure is no longer taking place. The care plan had not been amended to reflect the current care. Information recorded in the individual’s care plan stated the following: ‘Every week on Monday 2 members of staff will check the 4 bedded unit fridge for out of date food. X’s room for out of date food and excess newspapers.’ Entries Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 recorded in the individual’s daily log indicated that there were inconsistencies by staff to follow the plan that was in place. Staff had not undertaken this task for the past three weeks and there was no written explanation why the task had not been carried out. It is required that the manager must monitor the care plans and daily record sheets for residents on a regular basis to ensure that care needs identified were being met and followed. Daily report writing focussed on personal care, eating and drinking and did not report on progress that was being made on individual’s identified needs. The risk assessments relating to three residents who went away on holiday were examined. The assessments were detailed and addressed residents’ vulnerabilities. It was noted that a particular resident purchased her own cleaning solution. A bottle of bleach was observed on the windowsill in a shared shower and toilet area. The manager is advised to develop a risk assessment for this perceived risk. The home has a missing person’s procedure, which all staff are of. Staff are expected to keep a daily record of what residents are wearing. In the event of them not returning home within a reasonable time an accurate description of what they are wearing can be provided if they are reported missing. It was noted that the manager had developed a daily movement chart for each resident to ensure that all staff are aware of residents’ movement and daily activities. Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12 ,15 & 17 Residents are able to access activities, which meet their social and leisure needs. The home promotes flexible visiting, which enables residents to maintain contact with family and friends. Residents are supported by staff to participate in cooking tasks, which promotes choice and independent living skills. EVIDENCE: Residents are supported by staff to attend work placements and college. Several residents work on site in the centre in addition to attending college and undertaking training in cookery, computing and life skills. Residents spoken to enjoyed going to work and were pleased to have the responsibilities that came with being employed. Residents are encouraged to maintain links with their family. One resident is able to visit his mother every weekend. Residents are able to meet with their visitors within the privacy of their individual bedrooms or the communal areas. Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Residents are encouraged to prepare their own breakfast and midday snack. All residents choose to have the main meal in the evening, which is prepared in the main kitchen. However, twice a week residents make alternative arrangements and choose to prepare the evening meal in- house with support from staff or order a take away. The plan is for the home to be fully selfcatering, encouraging residents to prepare meals with support from staff, and to shop on line for groceries. Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 & 20 Arrangements are in place to ensure that residents are supported with their personal care by staff who respect their privacy and dignity. Health care support for residents is good which means that their health and well-being is promoted and protected. Medication procedures within the home need to be more robust, this would ensure that residents’ health is not put at risk EVIDENCE: Staff encourage residents to undertake all aspects of daily living independently. Residents choose what time they wish to rise and retire. Staff support three residents to prepare their own meals daily. Residents attend college, work placements and undertake cleaning and laundry tasks. Some residents are able to travel, unescorted by public transport to local towns. Bedrooms are not shared, this ensures that privacy and dignity is promoted. Residents are offered a key to the front door of the home and lockable facilities are provided to store medication, valuables and money. Residents are registered with a general practitioner (GP) who visits the site several times a week. They have access to a dentist, optician and chiropodist Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 who visit the site on a regular basis. There is a hairdresser facility on site however, some residents choose to use a hairdresser in the community. Residents are able to access National Health Service treatment via the GP when necessary. The community continence adviser provides some residents with aids and equipment to assist with their incontinence. The specialist epileptic nurse along with the consultant visit the home three monthly to monitor residents’ seizures. It was noted that several residents were self-administering their medication. A medication policy was in place to support this. Residents undergo a nine-step assessment process. It was noted in a particular resident’s medication assessment that she was down graded from a stage 6 to a 4. There was no written information recorded in the plan why this decision had been made. The deputy manager explained that the decision had been made after the resident had forgotten to take her medication. The resident also had a blood test taken, which indicated raised blood levels. There was no date recorded on the risk assessment to indicate when it was last reviewed. Medication is stored in a trolley that is kept in a secure area within the home. It was noted that a bottle containing liquid medication was sticky. Staff should ensure that bottles are wiped after use. Medication administration record sheets (MARS) were examined. No gaps were noted. Stock diazepam tablets were checked and it was noted that the writing on some labels was fading. It is recommended that the manager should ensure that labels are replaced. A protocol should be developed for the administration of Fosamax medication. Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 The system in place to enable residents to make their opinions of the service at the home known needs to improve further, this would ensure that residents’ views are listened to and actioned. Staff have undertaken training in adult protection and abuse awareness. With clear guidelines and training this should ensure that residents are protected from any potential abuse. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints policy and procedure in place to guide residents and relatives on how to make complaints and comments. The home has not received any complaints since the last inspection. It was noted that complaints and compliments are recorded in the same folder. It is required that the manager develops the complaints folder further and a record is kept of all concerns raised with clear action of outcomes. It is further recommended that details of all verbal concerns be recorded. The home has a protection of vulnerable adult policy in place which staff are made aware of at induction and ongoing. Staff were able to describe the different types of abuse and how they would action any alleged, potential or actual abuse. Greene House DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. 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, 26 & 30 There has been no change to the décor or furnishings in the home for some considerable time, this does not create a pleasing and pleasant environment for residents to live in. EVIDENCE: Greene House is a two-storey building, centrally situated on the National Society for Epilepsy’ campus in Chalfont St Peter. The home is registered to accommodate and care for up to eighteen residents. Since the last inspection one bedroom has been utilised as an office area. The home is divided into five groups promoting group living. The groups provide flexible accommodation for various numbers of residents. There are single bedrooms, lounge diners and showering and toilet facilities. During a tour of the building the following areas were identified as needing attention: • • • Ceiling lights and light fittings in all areas of the building needed to be clean. The build up of dust on skirting boards in corridors and staircase need to be cleaned. Wall tiles in shower and toilet facilities need to be re-grouted. DS0000022973.V254981.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 Greene House • • • The broken door on the wall unit in the main lounge needs to be replaced. The area where the general waste bin is situated needs to be cleaned. The window covered with bird excrement must be cleaned. The manager is required to forward to the Commission an action plan detailing when the decoration of corridors, the refurbishment of toilets and shower facilities and the replacement of arm chairs in the main lounge will commence. Some residents’ bedrooms were viewed. Bedrooms were personalised with posters, family pictures and mementoes, which reflected the individual characters of residents. Residents are supported by staff to maintain their bedrooms. The home was generally tidy and free from odour with the exception of one area of the home. This is an ongoing issue for the home and relates to the inappropriate storage of food by a resident. The manager and staff are aware of the problem and must ensure that the inappropriate storage of food does not take place and the condition of the environment is not compromised any further. The weekly protocol in place that was developed within the multi-disciplinary forum must be followed. There is a laundry adjacent to the main kitchen. It was noted that garden equipment was stored in the room, which pose a safety risk. It is required that an alternative storage area is found to store the equipment. Some residents are expected to undertake some laundering tasks as part of their independent living skills initiative. Washing machines do not have sluicing facilities. Laundry that requires sluicing is sent to the central laundry on site. It was noted that in some areas, general waste bins were of the swing top type. It is required that bins are replaced with the foot pedal type to prevent the spread of cross infection.
