Inspection on 08/12/05 for Haddon House

Also see our care home review for Haddon House for more information

This inspection was carried out on 8th December 2005.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Good. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done. The inspector also made 4 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

Service users live in premises where its external features are similar in design and structure to that of neighbouring properties and its purpose as a care home is not distinguishable. At the time of this inspection there was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere and the service users were looking forward to the Christmas holiday period. One of the service users commented, "This is the best place to be much better than being in hospital". Another service user had returned from college and showed a number of Christmas cards she had made there. The service users were dressed in clothing that was appropriate for their age and for the climate of the day. A visiting social worker who was attending a review for one of the service users commented, " I wish there were more places like Haddon House" and went on to say that the manager led by example and understood the needs of the service users with regard to their mental health. An examination of service users care records confirmed they have access to a range of healthcare professionals such as GP, dentist and optician. One service user was being seen by a dietician to assist the service user to lose weight, as their care plan identified the need for their diet to be low in sugar and fat. It was good to see the service user was achieving her target weight as set out by the dietician. Further sampling of service users records found that specialist support was available from Community Psychiatric Nurse and Consultant Psychiatrist who were involved in the monitoring and treatment of service users` mental health needs.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The manger has addressed all but one of the requirements from the previous inspection. A sample of service users care records confirmed that service users` weight was being documented on a monthly basis.Improvements have been made to the staff rota, which means there is clear information to show, who is on duty during the day and the hours worked by the staff. Since the last inspection the manager has introduced training at NVQ Level 1 in Basic Cleaning for a number of staff so they have a greater awareness about maintaining good hygiene in the home. An examination of the staff training records found that staff had completed updated training in food hygiene and infection control. The service users had managed to go on a holiday of their choice to Minehead but unfortunately they only partly enjoyed the holiday as two service users thought the accommodation was very basic and not to their liking. An examination of the fire safety records confirmed that staff had completed fire awareness training since the last inspection.

What the care home could do better:

While the management of service users` medication was good it was noted that one service user did not have any written protocols in place for the use of PRN medication or as required as it is known. An examination of the accident book found there had been only three accidents since the last inspection but two had not been notified to the CSCI under a regulation known as Regulation 37 notification. A sample for the minutes of service users` meetings found that these were not always held on a monthly basis. The care records for service users are detailed in their content and generally up to date. However it was noted that some assessments and other risk assessment documentation had gaps such as the service user`s name and did not always have the dates of when these had been completed. The manager must ensure the care records for the service users are checked on a regular basis to maintain good record keeping in the home. The inspection and testing of the electrical wiring system of the premises had not been addressed. This was a requirement from the previous inspection.

Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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): 2, 3 Service users are only admitted to the service with assessments completed by qualified professionals identifying specific needs and requirements. The needs of the current group of service users are met through the maintenance of detailed records with positive, friendly staff support. EVIDENCE: The service has so far only been accommodating four service users. The manager stated there had been a lack of referrals from Birmingham Social Care & Health due to a lack funds. The manager had received one referral from an outside Local Authority and provided copies of information provided by the referring agency, which was an NHS psychiatric unit. The information seen was a nursing assessment and care plan completed by a Community Psychiatric Nurse. Because of the lack of referrals within the local mental health services the manager discussed the possibility of looking at applying for a variation to her registration category to accommodate service users with a dual diagnosis of mental health and learning disability. The manager has had a wide range of experience within learning disability services as well as mental health and two members of staff had undertaken training towards the Learning Disability Award Framework. One service user had been accommodated with the service since the last inspection and had previously lived there before being admitted to a psychiatric unit two years ago. An examination of the individual’s file found there were care plans and assessments completed by a social worker through Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 the Care Programme Approach (1983 Mental Health Act). There was also evidence that the manager had completed an initial assessment covering most aspects of the service user’s daily living activities. Two service users were able to provide some comments about life in the home. One commented” We have our ups and downs but this is the best place for me much better than being in hospital”. Another commented, “Staff are alright to me but being the youngest means sometimes I get too much attention as if I am a child”. This service user had returned from college and reported to the manager that she and another student were being bullied by other students while waiting for the bus. The manager was observed to contact the college to find out what had happened and the service user was satisfied with what action had been taken. At the time of this inspection the service users appeared relaxed and dressed in clothing that was appropriate for the climate of the day. At the time of this inspection a visiting social worker was asked to contribute their views about the service. The social worker commented, “ I wish there were more places like Haddon House”. “The manager leads by good example and along with the staff understand the needs of the service users”. The social worker also stated that any concerns raised with the manager would be followed up. Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 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, 8, 9 Service users are encouraged to make decisions about their lives through service users meetings but these do not occur every month. How service users needs are met are detailed in care plans covering all aspects of their daily living activities. Service users have written individual risk assessments covering any issues around their vulnerability and limitations on their independence. EVIDENCE: Three service users’ care plans were sampled and these were detailed covering all aspects of their daily living activities. One service user’s care records confirmed she was part of the Care Programme Approach under the 1983 Mental Health Act and had an Enhanced Care Programme care plan. This is coordinated by mental health professionals including a Social Worker, CPN, and Consultant Psychiatrist. One care plan referred to one service user’s requirement that they must avoid sugary foods. Another care plan identified the service user’s likes and dislikes with their meals. A service user was asked if she had a care plan and stated there was one that was written in conjunction with her keyworker. The care plans had been reviewed since the last inspection. Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 Discussion was held with a service user and a member of staff who said the service users were able to choose what they wanted to eat and when they get up and go to bed, apart from when they go out during the week. An examination of the daily records indicated service users were able to have a lie in during the weekend. One service user stated she was involved in interviewing for new staff since the last inspection. The member of staff who had been interviewed was on duty at the time of this inspection and confirmed which service user had been involved in his job interview. Service users are involved in making decisions about their life in the home. They are involved in meetings to discuss future activities, changes to menus and when arranging their holiday. Minutes seen from these meetings indicated that the meetings were not always held every month. Risk assessments were in place that covered topics such as prevention of falls along with other risk assessments covering other areas of vulnerability. For example a risk assessment had been developed for one service user who tends to spend long periods away from the service. There was step by step guidance in place to inform staff what they should do if the service user did not return to the service by a certain time.

One service user said she attends college during the week to do flower arranging and was pleased to show an example of a display she had recently completed. The service user was disappointed that a course for Indian head massage had been cancelled because of a lack of interest. Another service user also goes to college to do gardening, art and computers. She showed examples of Christmas cards made by herself. Both service users stated they were able to participate in shopping for food and were able to choose what they want off the shelves. The service users had gone on holiday during the summer to Minehead but did Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 not enjoy this chiefly due to the poor standard of accommodation. An examination of the daily records indicated service users have participated in trips out to Dudley Zoo, Warwick Castle, the Cotswolds, pub lunches and the cinema. The records also confirmed service users were able to maintain contact with their relatives with two service users who spend time away from the service to be with their families. An examination of the menus confirmed service users had access to a varied and nutritious diet. The food cupboards, fridges and freezers were well stocked with foodstuffs brought through reputable suppliers. Service users are supported by staff to communicate their feelings and wishes. They have access to a qualified counsellor who involves them in alternative therapies including Tai Chi exercises and Reiki Therapy.

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): 19, 20 Service users are able to access community and specialist primary healthcare services through good recording systems. Medication management requires some improvement to maintain and promote service users’ good health. EVIDENCE: An examination of service users’ care records indicated their healthcare needs were generally being addressed. Each service user is registered with a GP and there was evidence where service user had contact with local primary healthcare professionals including a dentist and optician. At the time of this inspection one service user was receiving a visit from a District Nurse who was monitoring her blood levels due to the individual having diabetes. There was evidence on the service users’ records to confirm where they been seen by specialist health professionals including a Community Psychiatric Nurse and Consultant Psychiatrist. Service users weight was being recorded on a monthly basis. This was a requirement from the previous inspection. One service user’s care plan identified specific goals for a reduction to a target weight and the monthly weighing record confirmed the service user was making good progress. A service user stated she had recently been seen by her GP to have a test to check her levels of cholesterol. The management of medication was good but some improvements were required. There was no written protocol in place for one service user who Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 required Chlorpromazine and Zopiclone PRN or as required and the manager must take action to address this. An examination of staff training records confirmed they had completed medication training with Boots and in the Safe Handling of Medicines Course provided by Solihull College.

The new member of staff stated he looked forward to coming into work every morning. Haddon House DS0000016889.V270683.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 22 A representative from the organisation visits the service every month and reports for these visits indicated that service users and staff were able to contribute their views about the management of the service. The service has a range of policies and procedures and these were viewed and signed by staff to confirm they understood their content and relevance in their work. The records were found to be generally up to date and locked in a secure facility. However when examining the care records for service users there were gaps in recording where some risk assessment documentation did not always have the service user’s name nor the date of when these had been completed. The manager must ensure these are checked on a regular basis to maintain good practice in record keeping. Records with regard to health and safety were satisfactory. An examination of the fire safety records confirmed the fire alarm was being tested every week and the emergency lighting tested every month. A fire drill had occurred prior to this inspection. Training in fire safety had occurred since the last inspection. A risk assessment was in place for the prevention of fire. A requirement for the hard wiring of the premises to be inspected and tested had not been addressed. The accident book was examined and it was noted three had occurred since the last inspection.
