This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was a key inspection started on 1st April 2006. The inspection process included: a site visit on 4th August 2006, which lasted 7 hours; review of evidence supplied by the proprietor, residents, visitors to the service or the staff; resident, visitor, healthcare professionals and staff surveys; discussions with the registered manager, senior carers, care staff, ancillary staff, residents and relatives. During the site visit the premises were inspected, including inspection of the grounds. Samples of records and residents care plans were also reviewed. The home was clean and well maintained. The overall care and well being of the residents was the focus of the inspection. Staff and residents were welcoming and happy to speak to the inspector at the site visit. This inspection covered all twenty-one key standards and three of the remaining standards. The manager and her staff approached the inspection in a positive and cooperative manner that was focused on achieving best practice to meet the needs of the residents. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Care plans need to be consistent throughout the whole home using all of the assessments and information contained in a satin unit that is available to the staff. There needs to be consideration given to the medications rooms to ensure that all medications are kept below 25°C and that double locked metal cabinets are supplied on both floors. Staff need to ensure there is no chance of cross contamination of medications when administering liquids or tablets. When the administrator is not in her office, the security of the front entrance of the home needs to be improved to ensure the safety of the residents. Quality assurance that the home must be individual to the needs of the current residents. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office. Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS
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 Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2, 3 & 6 - Quality in this outcome area is good; this judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. All staff were clear on the conditions of registration of this home, ensuing that prospective residents and their relatives were given information that enabled them to choose the right home. EVIDENCE: The welcome pack contains a summary of the statement of purpose and the service users guide. It is given to all new residents on admission. The administrator takes time going through the information contained within, so that she is assured that the resident and their relatives have up-to-date information about all aspects of the home. She has found that there are far less problems regarding day-to-day financial issues and residents/relatives understanding of the running of the home. There are up-to-date copies of the statement of purpose and service users guide kept on file at the local office of the Commission for Social Care Inspection. Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The manager and/or the senior nurse on each of the units carry out preadmission assessments of prospective new residents. Assessments are also received from the social services and some residents are admitted to the home on the strength of the social service assessment, especially on Speedwell unit, (elderly frail), as the turnover of residents is quite high. However if there was any question about the suitability of the resident from the social services assessment it would be backed up by a visit from personnel at the home. The nurse spoken to on Speedwell unit stated that the liaison between the local PCT and social services is good and they have therefore not admitted anybody who was unsuitable into the home. All preadmission assessments are on paper, the information is then transferred to the computerised Saturn system and paper documentation is archived. The assessment paperwork used was Care UK documentation. Intermediate care is not offered at this home, however the inspector and registered manager discussed PCT contracts, which include provision for interim care within the home. The manager was clear on what intermediate care meant and that the home would have to comply with the national minimum standards if they decided to admit residents who needed intermediate care. Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 & 10 - Quality in this outcome area is adequate; this judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. Health and personal care is well supported for all the residents in this home. Residents looked well cared for, clean and dressed appropriately. EVIDENCE: All resident care plans and personal file information is contained on the homes computerised Saturn system. Saturn is a wide-ranging system that offers easy to complete risk assessments and dependency assessments, covering all elements required to cover all aspects of the residents care. However a total five care plans were reviewed during the site visit and there was a distinct difference between the two units, in how much of the information on the system was actually used. Mayflower unit (dementia care,) use all available assessments to assess the care needed by residents and the quality all of information in the care plans and daily records was very good. Speedwell unit do not use all available assessments and some important assessments were not present on the care plans reviewed during the site visit. (E.g. manual
Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 handling assessments were not completed.) The only drawback with Saturn as highlighted by the registered nurses was that it had slowed down considerably over the last few months as more homes had come online and were using it. Following the site visit the inspector discussed this problem with one of the clinical directors and was told that the firm were fully aware of the problem and were in the process of trying to solve it. When the system was not available for whatever reason, paper daily records were kept. Some were transferred to the system when it was back up and running, but mainly these were filed with the archived notes, which sometimes made it difficult to follow the progress of the individual resident progress. The use of Saturn has highlighted a considerable overall improvement in quality of information kept about the resident; it also provides a good audit trial when investigating concerns or complaints. Care plans are reviewed regularly and the system highlights any care plans that are overdue for evaluation. The provision of health care in the home was good. There is at least one registered nurse on each floor 24 hours a day. District nurses did not need to attend the home, however specialist nurse professionals were consulted as needed and attended the home if required. Two GPs visited the home during the site visit and one told the inspector that the home and the staff were good at keeping them informed about the progress and needs of the residents, and that they only calls the surgery if it really necessary. The GP also stated that the general care in the home was good. Since the last inspection the manager has instigated formal reviews for all residents on a rotational basis; there is a meeting on each floor every week, which includes a consultant and appropriate professionals, where they review all of the residents, their health care, medication and progress. This group also occasionally agrees new admissions if they are known to the professionals at the meeting. The manager stated that she felt that these meetings had reduced hospital admissions and had helped more residents to be discharged to their own home with care packages. Other allied professionals attended the home regularly including a chiropodist, a masseur, optician’s and dentist’s. This home uses ‘blister’ packaging for all medications. The senior nurse on Mayflower unit, to accommodate local and national changes to medication administration policies, had recently updated the local medications policies and procedures. Changes had been made to the policies relating to medication administration through enteral feeding systems; the monthly audit procedures; procedures to be followed if a drug error occurs; the handling of medications brought in by residents who are at the home for respite care; and medication waste disposal procedures. All medication administration records were
Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 checked and found to be correct. Stock levels in the home were generally quite high at the time of the site visit, because it was the beginning of the ‘medication month’. Both medications rooms were tidy and all cupboards were appropriately labelled. There was a new drugs fridge on each floor, which enabled staff to separate medications for individual resident. The drugs fridge and room temperatures are documented on a daily basis, however this demonstrated that the medications room on Speedwell unit consistently registered a temperature above 25°C, which is the recommended temperature to store medicines at. Controlled drugs were kept in a locked metal cupboard, bolted to the wall of the medications room and the medications room were always locked when not in use. Controlled drug records were checked and are found to be correct. Both floors used syringes to measure liquid medications, which were not individually labelled. Staff had removed the syringes before the end of the site visit and stated that they would be replaced with labelled syringes before the evening medications round. Tablet cutters on both floors were in need of more regular cleaning to insure tablet residue was not transferred to different medications. There was sunscreen present in both medication rooms and staff stated that this had been used on all residents who sat outside during the recent heat wave. There was evidence that regular medication reviews were being undertaken and that residents were being maintained on the most appropriate medications for their conditions. During the site visit of the inspector observed all staff treating residents with respect and maintaining their privacy in various ways, including knocking on their doors before entering rooms and calling the residents by their preferred name. This included laundry, housekeeping and administration staff, as well as care staff. Residents and visitors spoken to at the site visit said that staff were polite, but always jovial. One relative said “they always have a smile and treat mum as an individual, not as if she is stupid, which happened in her previous home. Mum has blossomed at Haven Lodge.” Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 & 15 - Quality in this outcome area is good; this judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. Resident activities were varied and appropriate to their levels of dependency. Food offered was very good and meets the nutritional needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: Activities in this home are varied and activities programs were seen throughout the home. There are two part-time coordinators who worked on both floors, however neither of them were on duty on the day of the site visit. The coordinators tried to balance activities undertaken to include activities within the home, ‘bought-in’ entertainment and trips out for those residents that were able. They also had a programme of one-to-one time that included all residents. Community input to the home had been improving and the manager made an effort to include relatives, visitors and local neighbours in events at the home. There had been a recent fate that raised money for the residents’ activities fund, which had been well attended and relatives of the homes residents had ‘manned’ the majority of the stalls. All residents were on the electoral register.
Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Sample menus had been supplied with the PIQ and demonstrated that a varied balanced diet was offered. The chef and kitchen assistants were all happy to speak to the inspector and they demonstrated a commitment to resident choice. The residents were happy with the quality and quantity of the food offered and one told the inspector that they can have what they want “ we only have to ask.” the last Environmental Health Office visit had been in January 2006 and there had been no issues highlighted. During the recent hot weather the kitchen and care staff ensured that the residents were given drinks on a regular basis, jugs of water and squash were kept chilled and they had increased their order of fruit juices squash etc. They also decreased the amount of food offered as they had found that the residents were eating less during this time. The chef is not restricted in what she can order or the type of food she can offer the residents. One relative said that they were regularly asked if they wanted a meal, which they enjoyed with the resident. Care staff were observed helping residents during both breakfast and lunch time, their help was appropriate and communication was good during this time. Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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.

EVIDENCE: There had been one complaint to the home, which was forwarded to the Commission for Social Care Inspection, since the last inspection. Although the complaint was ongoing the manager and proprietors had followed their own policies and procedures well and were keeping the commission informed of the outcome. The complaint policies and procedures were reviewed regularly and were clear about the staff responsibilities. There had been no Protection of Vulnerable Adults issues since the last inspection and staff training was up-to-date. Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment

The environment of this home was clean, a tidy and well maintained, however some security issues need to be reassessed. EVIDENCE: A complete tour of the home was undertaken during the site visit. There had been no change to the fabric of the building since last inspection. Mayflower unit on the ground floor had been redecorated since the last inspection; colours were more muted and calming for the residents. Some carpets had been replaced and the whole area looked brighter. Speedwell unit on the first floor would benefit from a redecoration of all paintwork, however all rooms were redecorated when a resident left the home and before the new resident was admitted. The home was clean and tidy throughout and there was no malodour throughout, all storage areas were locked and sluices were tidy. All CoSHH products were locked away. This home has three conservatories, which were cool on the day of the site visit, however the manager and staff reported that they had not been used during the recent hot spell as they could not keep them cool enough, but the manager was assessing their usefulness on a
Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 continuing basis. Staff were welcoming and visibly helping with breakfast at the beginning of the site visit, however the inspector had been able to enter the home and wander around unimpeded for about the first three or four minutes. Security first thing in the morning and in the evening when the administrator is not in the front entrance of the home must be improved to ensure the safety of the residents. The laundry was well laid out, tidy and nicely maintained. All machinery complied with requirements. The laundry person had worked at the home for over 10 years and she was very clear about her responsibilities, she discussed the problem of unnamed clothing. She is happy to label the clothes of new residents whenever needed, if the staff let her know that it needs to be done.

The manager demonstrated a commitment to National Vocational Qualification training for the care staff and training to assist maintenance of their registration for the trained nurses. Five personnel files were reviewed during the site visit. The paper copies were initially reviewed, but the majority of information is also available on the
Haven Lodge Nursing Home DS0000015324.V306992.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Saturn system. In the front of the paper files a sheet printed from Saturn gives all the basic information needed for reference. All folders were very neat and easy to follow.
