CQC found this care home to be providing an Poor service.

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

The home provides a homely environment and residents told us that they were happy at the home. Comments from those residents we spoke with included `the staff know me well and look after me` `I prefer my own company and like to stay in my room` `everything is fine` `I can`t complain about anything` and `I like living here`. We observed staff interacting with service user`s and we saw that people are treated with respect and their right to dignity maintained.

What the care home could do better:

There were no further requirements made as a result of this visit. However the report identifies areas where the home can improve. More work needs to be done with regard to care planning to ensure that all service user`s have their needs fully identified in their plan of care. The home also needs to ensure that a consistent standard of care planning is maintained. When a person`s care needs have changed the home must ensure that the care plan is updated as soon as the change is identified. Although risk assessments have improved the home needs to ensure that all risk assessments are of a consistent standard to enable staff to identify and minimise risks to all service users. The home needs to continue with the progress it has made in recent weeks to ensure that they move the service forward and comply with the minimum standards required.

Care Homes for Older People Page 3 of 9 What we found: We undertook a Random Inspection of Haven Rose Rest Home on the 28 October 2009. The reason for our visit was to follow up on the requirements made at the last key inspection, which took place on 4 August 2009. Following our previous visit the registered manager sent us an improvement plan that we asked for. We looked at the information in the improvement plan and checked to see if appropriate action had been taken to address the issues raised. During our visit we had the opportunity to speak with 6 residents 3 members of staff, one visiting health care professional and also the homes registered manager. The home is registered to accommodate 16 people and at the time of our visit there were 11 people living at the home. We looked at the care records for 3 users of the service and these were the same 3 people whose care plans we looked at on our previous inspection. The care plans seen had been reviewed and generally we saw good information on what support the service user needed and there was information for staff on how the service user would like their care to be given. For example; one plan stated needs support with washing and dressing and the plan went on to explain to staff exactly what type of support was needed. The plan also went on to tell staff what they should do if the person refused support. This enabled staff to offer the correct level of support. Another care plan we looked at had information that the person was prone to urine infection. The plan gave staff information on how they could identify if the person may have an infection and also what action they should take. Although we saw that improvements had been made to care plans there was still more work to be done to ensure that there was a consistent standard maintained. One plan seen gave staff information to inform the GP or Community Psychiatric Nurse if the persons mental health deteriorated, but there was no information recorded on how staff could identify any changes. There was no information on what the persons normal behaviour was so that staff could monitor any mental health issues. We saw that care plans are reviewed monthly by the homes manager. The reviews included an evaluation of how the care plan was working for the individual and also provided evidence that the service user was involved in the review process. The recording of reviews had improved since our last visit. However we found that one service users plan stated that the person mobilised using a walking frame. But this persons needs had changed and they were now mobilising independently. The manager showed us that this plan had been recently reviewed, but the information was not up to date and we explained the need for the plan to be updated as soon as any identified need had changed. Daily recording has been improved and the recording seen had good information on care delivery. Care plans seen contained risk assessments and these have been updated and reviewed Care Homes for Older People Page 4 of 9 since our last visit. Those seen had good information for staff on the identified risk and also the action they should take to minimise any risks. All old risk assessments had been removed from care plans and all risk assessment seen had recently been reviewed. There were risk assessments for falls and these generally gave good information for staff on what support the person needed. However we saw one risk assessment for a person who was at risk of falls and this lacked sufficient information on how staff should support the person. Although risk assessments have improved the home needs to ensure that all risk assessments are of a consistent standard to enable staff to identify and minimise risks to all service users. The safe handling of medicines was assessed by a Commission specialist pharmacist inspector. They looked at the medication records and medicine supplies for all of the people living in the home and the care plans for six people. The standard of record keeping has improved since the last inspection on 4 August 2009. The records and medicine supplies were now able to show us that people were receiving their medicines as they were prescribed by their doctors. People who are prescribed medicines that are to be given only when needed had care plans to guide staff in how to decide when to give the medicines. Care plans were also available when medicines were prescribed to be given at a variable dose such as one or two tablets. People have their medicines given to them by the care staff. Staff have recently been trained in the safe handling of medicines. Staff have access to written procedures on the safe handling of medicines. All medicines were stored securely for the protection of people who use the service. Medicines needing cool storage were kept in a locked container within a domestic fridge. Medicines that can be misused, known as Controlled Drugs, were not stored correctly. The manager informed us that a Controlled Drugs cupboard was on order and that she was chasing up the order. During our visit we looked around the home and found that the refurbishment in the laundry room had been completed and surfaces were easy to clean. There was a clear policy and procedure for washing any soiled items. There was a daily cleaning routine for the laundry area and the manager carries out weekly checks. Hand washing facilities were clearly sign posted and hand washing gel was available to help prevent the spread of infection. At out last visit we found that there was a hot water boiler in the kitchen that was not secured. This has now been removed and this has been replaced by an electric kettle. We looked at training records and we were able to see that training for staff on how to manage challenging behaviour was carried out on 15 September 2009. Training for staff on Mental Health issues was carried out on the 23 September 2009. We spoke to 3 members of staff and they told us that they felt the training was very useful. Previously the home was keeping some services users money in the homes bank Care Homes for Older People Page 5 of 9 account. The manager of the service told us that the home no longer manages the finances of any residents. One of the residents identified at the last visit has now moved out of the home and the other service user has their money managed by their solicitor. At the last visit we made 6 requirements to improve the quality of service provided. At this visit we found that the home had either fully complied or had made progress in meeting the requirements made. We noted that care planning and risk assessments had improved but more work was still required to ensure that the minimum standards required were consistently met. In order to ensure that improvement is maintained we will continue to monitor progress at the home.
