The history of the service was examined prior to the site visit. This included the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment document, telephone contacts, letters, notifications etc. There was a discussion with the manager regarding the current level of the service. It was discussed that the service had met the standards in many areas and has one requirement. However to move to a level 4 service, the service needs to exceed the standard in some areas. The service should refer to the KLORA (Key Lines of Regulatory Assessment) documents available on the CSCI website for further information.

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): Standards 3 and 6. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service.

Haddon Court Nursing Home DS0000021781.V346305.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 EVIDENCE: On examination of the care management assessments within six care plans, it was established that all six had varying standards of care management assessments. The manager advised that the majority of service users were from Sheffield area, however there were also service users from Derbyshire, Rotherham and Doncaster. The assessments from care managers within the Sheffield area were usually received prior to admission. The assessments from Derbyshire were always received prior to admission and contained extensive information. The assessments from Rotherham and Doncaster were often communicated verbally by telephone and forwarded to the service, following admission. The service should receive full assessments prior to the admission of the service user so as to assess if the service is able to meet the service user’s needs. The manager or deputy manager had undertaken comprehensive assessments of each service user prior to their admission. These assessments detailed the service user’s needs that would assist in the service having sufficient information for them to decide if the service could met the service user’s needs and provide sufficient information for care plans to be drawn up. The manager advised that no intermediate care was provided within the service. Haddon Court Nursing Home DS0000021781.V346305.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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): Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Accurate care plans will contribute to the delivery of care. Service users were satisfied with the care they received. EVIDENCE: On examination of the care plans, from six service users, it was established that all six care plans were up to date. There were daily entries within the care plans. These entries recorded the care delivered on a daily basis, and the plans had been evaluated on a monthly basis. The evaluation recorded in each care plan. The implementation of a single evaluation document was discussed. Comprehensive risk assessments were included within the documentation and included moving and handling, nutrition, skin integrity, and other risk factors. Haddon Court Nursing Home DS0000021781.V346305.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The manager advised that the format of the care plan documentation was under review. It was discussed that part of the review should include the possible reduction of paper work and the reorganisation of the care plans to make it a more ‘user friendly’ file. The manager accepted these comments. Service users and relatives expressed their views, during the inspection and comments on surveys were received which expressed that; ‘The care is good’. (4 service users) ‘They look after them very well’. Whilst touring the building it was observed that many of the service users were in a frail condition and being cared for whilst in bed. These service users were on the elderly unit and the dementia type units. All the service users who were observed to be in bed appeared to be comfortable and well cared for. The manager advised that she preferred a skill mix of registered general nurses (RGN) and registered mental nurses (RMN) to combine their skills to provide holistic (whole) care. It was appreciated that the different skill mix would contribute to the various needs of the service users. A survey was returned from a health care professional that identified that, ‘few homes give such dignified care as Haddon Court’. The storage, ordering, administration and disposal of medication procedures were discussed with the manager. The procedures explained by the manager were satisfactory. There was a signature-checking document, which contained the initials as written on the medication administration document and the member of staff’s signature. On examination of the medication administration records it was found that there were no omissions of signatures. All medication records had been signed when being checked in from the pharmacy. The trolleys within the medication room were secured to the wall by chains. The practice of repeatedly chaining the trolleys to the wall had caused some minor damage to the wall. The door to the room contained a lock that was an ‘anti saw’ type lock. Therefore as the room was secure, it was agreed that the trolleys did not need to be the chained to the walls Regarding the previous requirements, on examination of the medication storage, no ‘home remedies’ (medications that can be purchased over the counter) where found. Therefore the need for a policy is not necessary. Also a BNF (British National Formulary) book has been purchased.

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): Standards 12, 13, 14 and 15. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Limited activities were organised within the service, which would provide some stimulation to service users and enhance their quality of life. There was no evidence that service users were given the opportunity to exercise their right of choice regarding meals. EVIDENCE: The manager advised that an activities co-ordinator was responsible for the activities, entertainment and outings and employed for 20 hours per week. She explained that the person undertook care duties from 7am until 10am and activities from 10am until 3pm, excluding her lunch break. The manager advised that there had been a 100th birthday party. Also there was an outing to Twycross zoo on the 18th July 2007, regular services were provided by the local church and the fete was planned for the 18th August 2007.

There was a programme of generalised planned social events displayed. For example on the day of inspection, the activity was ‘out for walks’. It was discussed that although it was recognised that a specific person was designated to activities, one person over a four-hour period each day could not provide activities to the large number of service users within the home. On discussing this fact with the activities co-ordinator she advised that she was trying to provide some activists or input to every service user, even if it was just a short one to one chat. Three surveys received prior to the inspection identified that; ‘More activities needed’, ‘More social activities’ and ‘Only occasional entertainment’. It was agreed that more structured activities should occur. For example: an activity to occur on the upper floor at a specified date and time. This activity to be displayed within the activities programme, so that service users would be aware where and when the activity was to occur. Also there was a discussion regarding the recording of who participated in each activity. At present each service user had an activities document within the care plan. However this indicated that some service users had not undertaken activities for over a month. The activities co-ordinator identified that may not the case, however as she was busy undertaking activities, then perhaps the ‘paperwork’ had lapsed. A simpler version of recording activities was discussed with the manager, who identified that she was look at introducing such a document. On discussing the activities with the service users, their opinions were that; ‘Most of the residents are bedridden and have televisions’. ‘I’m happy to watch quiz programmes and listen to the radio. ‘I play games now and again’. Regarding the meals, the manager advised that a full English breakfast was available, alternating with a continental breakfast on alternate days. The manager advised that when the continental breakfast was served then the main meal was at lunchtime, and when the full English breakfast was served then the main meal was in late afternoon.

Copies of four weekly menus were seen, displayed with the dining room. The menu stated only one main meal per day rather than two. The manager accepted that there was no evidence that a choice was offered. She advised that she would work with the cook and organise a system that offered the service users’ a choice on a daily basis. Positive comments were received from the service users regarding the food provision. The general comments were that; ‘The food is excellent.’ ‘Meals are very good, most of the time’. ‘The meals are good’.
