This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection carried out as part of the regulatory process. A total of 21 hours was spent on the inspection process. The Inspector carried out a tour of the home, and service user plans, medication records, staff records, financial records, management records, administration records, maintenance and servicing records were viewed. 13 service users, 11 visitors and 12 staff were spoken with as part of the inspection process. The pre-inspection questionnaire given to the home at the time of inspection, plus additional information provided by the Responsible Individual following the inspection, has also been used to inform this report. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Although generally well completed, more attention to detail is required with the service user plans, especially with updates and wound care documentation. Several shortfalls in the staffing were noted, and the home must address this
Hayes Cottage DS0000010933.V310436.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 as a matter of priority and ensure that the home is fully staffed throughout at all times to meet the needs of the service users. Staff training and updates in some areas of health & safety training was out of date and this needs to be addressed promptly. Records within the home need to be reviewed so additional paperwork can be archived and the records can be streamlined. Whilst it is acknowledged that the systems for quality assurance are overall good, the Responsible Individual has not arranged for Regulation 26 monthly unannounced visits to be carried out for some months, and this needs to be rectified. It is noted that since the inspection the Responsible Individual has written to CSCI with information to show how these shortfalls are to be addressed. 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.

Hayes Cottage DS0000010933.V310436.R02.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The home has a quality assurance system in place. The Responsible Individual was aware of the need to carry out Regulation 26 visits and complete a report. No reports had been received by CSCI since March 2006. Feedback questionnaires are undertaken every 3 months and the views of family, friends and stake holders are sought. Results of these questionnaires were available and evidence was available that these results had been discussed with representatives and service users within the home. Staff meetings, service user meetings and relatives meetings take place and minutes are recorded. The Responsible Individual has confirmed that management meetings for heads of department are to be re-introduced. A quarterly newsletter is produced for service users and visitors, and is very informative. Small amounts of personal monies are managed for each service user. Records of these were viewed and were clearly and accurately recorded. In some instances receipts were not available. One Inspector recommended that this be recorded. The home also has a residents account with individual numbered accounts for any service users who have significant funds. One Inspector viewed supervision records for staff. It was clear that staff had not been receiving regular one-to-one supervision. The home has in place an annual appraisal system, which had been carried out. A system to ensure staff receive supervision every 2 months must be put in place. Generally the records viewed were up to date. Service user plans are stored in service users rooms, for ease of access, and a signed agreement for this is available in each file. One Inspector noted that several records with regard to office administration were being duplicated, and in some areas those available were not up to date, although others viewed were. The need to review the documentation to ensure that all copies of records are up to date, and that only necessary duplication takes place, was discussed. A sample of servicing and maintenance records were viewed and found to be up to date. It was clear that the maintenance man has a good understanding of his role and maintains the home to a good standard. Risk assessments for equipment and safe working practices were available. Clear risk assessments are available for the laundry & kitchen, and the Responsible Individual has confirmed that the system for recording updates has since been reviewed for clarity. Shortfalls were noted in the health & safety training records, to include moving & handling training and fire awareness training. This was discussed with the Responsible Individual who said he would arrange for a moving & handling trainer to attend the home and provide training and updates for all staff as a matter of priority. Confirmation of such arrangements being put in place has since been received by CSCI. There was evidence of fire drills having taking place, and the importance of ensuring all staff take part in fire drills at the required intervals was discussed.
