What the care home does well

The home provides an attractive environment in which to live and there is a homely atmosphere. Residents have their needs assessed prior to moving into the home and receive any help they need to understand the procedures. Residents are supported to make decisions about their daily lives and to be involved in the running of the home. Residents have opportunities to take part in a range of activities to suit their needs and preferences both inside and outside of the home. The home works with other professionals to make sure that residents` support and health care needs are met. There is a well trained and friendly staff team and the home`s managers are approachable and supportive.

What has improved since the last inspection?

There is now better protection for residents and staff through the home`s adult protection policies, procedures and ongoing training for staff. Since the last inspection a new downstairs bathroom and shower unit has been fitted and there is new flooring in one of the lounges. New smoke detectors have been fitted following advice from the fire officer.

What the care home could do better:

The home must ensure that any physical interventions to safeguard residents and staff are detailed in the individual residents` care plans.

Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 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 Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 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&5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents and their representatives have the information they need to choose a home which will meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The registered manager explained the admission procedure for the home. The organisations’ Director of Referrals carries out initial assessments of prospective residents to see whether the service can meet the person’s needs and expectations. This assessment includes details such as the funding authority, the person’s care manager, and details of any religious or ethnic requirements the person may have. The registered manager then contacts the care manager to obtain further relevant information including the care management assessment, and arrange to visit the prospective resident to conduct the home’s own assessment. If the person is admitted, the combined information is used as the basis for care planning. There had been no new long-term admissions since the previous inspection, but the home also admits residents for short periods of respite care from time to time. The same procedure is used for respite as for long-term admissions and the home’s records showed that a former short-term resident’s relatives had been involved in the information gathering process. The person had visited the home with their relatives and returned for further visits, staying for lunch or tea. The prospective resident was asked to choose one of the available Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 rooms and the one chosen was then prepared and any alterations made to suit the person’s needs. The completed assessment and care management information was on file. A record was kept of the person’s eventual discharge from the home, including an inventory of their belongings, medication and money, signed for by their representative. Residents are issued with written terms and conditions of residence. The home was in the process of re-issuing these in a format that combines the written document with picture symbols to assist residents in understanding the content. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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 & 9 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ needs are mostly met through thorough and detailed risk assessments and care plans, which also clearly record any restrictions on individual choice and freedoms. However, the home must ensure that any physical interventions to safeguard residents and staff are detailed in the individual residents’ care plans, in line with the home’s policy. EVIDENCE: Care plans and related records were seen in relation to four residents. The home has a comprehensive system linking care plans with risk assessment and management plans. The records included current reviews and reports involving healthcare specialists. The home carries out monthly evaluations of care plans, looking at physical, mental, behavioural and social aspects of residents’ wellbeing. Staff observations are recorded and show whether individual residents accept various activities on offer. Medication is listed for each resident and health and weight checks are recorded. Risk assessments include the objectives and method for managing risks and these are updated every six months, or before if necessary, when the care plan is fully reviewed. A functional analysis for each resident contained the home’s approach to the Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 management of aggressive behaviour, where applicable, including behaviour triggers and clear guidelines for staff. Relevant training requirements for staff were also recorded here. There were also sections on self-help, showing what residents could do independently or with various levels of support and staff and residents were observed interacting in ways that reflected the care plans. Health action plans have been in place since June 2006. The organisation had reviewed its policy on physical interventions and issued the new policy in August. This states that a first aid qualified member of staff must be present to watch for signs of positional asphyxiation; and people should not be restrained in the prone position for longer than fifteen minutes. The policy also states that prone restraint must only be used by trained staff and only for specific residents, who pose a greater threat, where the need for prone restraint has been assessed and sanctioned by the home’s manager and detailed in the resident’s functional analysis. Although incidents involving physical intervention were well recorded, it was noted that the need for prone restraint had not been included in one particular residents’ functional analysis. A requirement was made in relation to this and the registered manager said the information would be added to the care plan. Each resident has a ‘communication passport’, which uses picture symbols to assist communication. These are used in the home, for example to communicate activities such as going to a restaurant, pub, theme park or cinema. The passports also provide accessible information if a resident goes into hospital or has a doctors’ appointment. Evidence was seen that residents are involved in decision making within the home (see sections on Lifestyle and Conduct and Management of the Home). Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the 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, 15, 16 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ benefit through the home providing opportunities to take part in suitable activities, access the community and maintain relationships. Residents’ rights and responsibilities are recognised in the daily routines of the home and meal planning promotes choice and healthy eating. EVIDENCE: Residents’ care plans are linked to programmes of activities designed to meet their leisure and personal development needs. People’s interests and hobbies, such as art and craft, were recorded and there was evidence of relevant activities taking place in the home. Individual care plans relating to community access, developing communication and social skills, employment and occupation, and maintaining relationships were seen. A day care centre used by residents at the home had recently closed, but there was evidence of continuing outside activities being arranged. For example, residents took part in sailing, horse riding and trips to Salisbury horse races, local pubs and restaurants. One staff member said they thought activities Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 arranged by the home were now more personalised than they had been. Five residents attended a sports and social club on Wednesday evenings, which provided an opportunity to meet other people, with and without a learning disability. One resident did gardening with a college and work experience at a dairy. The home organises barbeques and fun days in summer in the grounds of the home. At the time of the inspection the home was decorated for a Halloween party and staff and residents were observed dressing up and making the preparations. Later in the day residents’ relatives were seen arriving for the party. The daily routines of the home promote service user’s independence and the development of daily living skills. Housework tasks are clearly scheduled and form part of each service users’ agreed timetable of activities, for example cleaning their rooms. Residents were observed in the kitchen with staff preparing the meal. The home provides seasonal food menus that include alternative options and promote healthy eating. Any special eating or mealtime needs are documented, for example one residents care plan recorded how they preferred to eat alone. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. 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): 18, 19 & 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ healthcare and personal support needs are met both by members of staff and through referral to healthcare specialists. Residents are protected by the home’s medication handling policies and procedures. EVIDENCE: The home operates a system of key teams of staff providing personal support to residents. The staff team is comprised of both male and female carers. Staff spoken to demonstrated knowledge and understanding of individual resident’s needs and gave examples of promoting choice and communicating with residents. Staff interacted with residents and residents were observed to be comfortable with staff. Through discussion with the registered manager and reading the home’s records, it was evident that professional specialist support teams were involved when needed in residents’ healthcare. One resident was having regular meetings with a community nurse and care plans and risk assessments relating to physical and mental health were being updated. Records also showed that medication reviews and changes were made as assessed and prescribed by the healthcare teams. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The home had sought specialist support for another residents’ mental health needs and arranged a review of their medication, following changes in their behaviour. A meeting with the person’s relatives had also been arranged. The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) had been notified of incidents relating to the use of prone restraint, and records were seen in the home regarding the management and outcomes of incidents. The home has a written medication policy and procedure. A sample of the records of medication administered was seen and these were well maintained and up to date. Evidence was seen that staff members who administer medication had received appropriate training. Some residents have ‘as required’ medication and there was a clear procedure for staff to follow in order for this to be authorised by the management or senior on-call person. Although there were no controlled drugs kept in the home, some medications were stored and recorded as such, for example with two staff signing a record of the amount of medication given and remaining. This demonstrated that good practice is promoted in this area. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has effective systems for ensuring that people’s views are listened to and responding to their concerns, demonstrating that residents’ and other stakeholders concerns are taken seriously. There is now better protection for residents and staff through the home’s adult protection policies, procedures and ongoing training for staff. EVIDENCE: The home has a clearly written complaints procedure, which includes the stages and times-scales for the process. The Service Users Guide contains a version of this in picture format and the registered manager said there were plans to enhance the full policy using pictures. Previous reports had identified that residents had an understanding of what to do if they had any concerns. Individual forms are used to record complaints and these give details of actions taken and the outcome. The Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) had not received any complaints in respect of the home in the time since the last inspection. The home has an adult protection policy and procedure in place of which staff spoken with had a good understanding. Evidence was seen that staff have received managing challenging behaviour and adult protection training and this is updated (see section on Staffing: training and development). The registered manager reported that there had been three adult protection investigations in the time since the previous inspection and records of these were seen, showing that these had been brought to the attention of the relevant authorities for investigation under their procedures. Two of the allegations had proved to be unfounded and in the remaining case the home was taking measures to ensure Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 that each member of staff was aware of their responsibilities for reporting any incident or allegation, through supervision and adult protection training updates. Records with regards to the management of residents’ finances were seen at previous inspections and assessed as being maintained as required. The registered manager said that there was a corporate appointee for six of the residents and residents used community banks and individual accounts for their finances. The manager was engaged in meetings with one residents’ social worker and parents regarding benefit entitlement. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents live in a clean, comfortable and well-maintained environment. EVIDENCE: A tour of the premises was undertaken and the home was seen to offer a spacious and comfortable environment to residents. There is an ongoing programme of maintenance and renewal and residents are supported to help choose the colours when rooms are redecorated. Since the last inspection a new downstairs bathroom and shower unit has been fitted and there was new flooring in one of the two lounge areas. A spare bedroom had been recarpeted and a new bed was in place ready for use. Furniture and fittings in the communal areas were all of good quality. There is a large games room equipped with table tennis and snooker tables, puzzles and games, which had been decorated for Halloween. There is a payphone for residents use. The fire officer last visited the premises on 19/06/06 and new smoke detectors had been fitted. There is a personal alarm system in place for staff (see section on Conduct and Management of the home: safe working practices). The laundry room is situated away from areas where food is stored, prepared or eaten and is equipped with hand-washing facilities. Gloves, aprons and Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 colour coded mops and cleaning cloths are provided to reduce the risks of infection. There are sign language symbols on the washers and driers to assist residents in doing their own laundry. The registered manager said that the laundry floor was to be re-sealed as part of the refurbishment programme. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 34, 35 & 36 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff in the home are trained, skilled and in sufficient numbers to support the people who use the service. EVIDENCE: The home currently employs twenty-one care staff and an ancilliary staff member, in addition to the registered manager. There were nine residents at the time of the inspection visit. The staff complement had reduced by three since the previous inspection visit and the home was also employing agency staff to cover some of the shifts. The rota was being managed flexibly to ensure a suitable mix of both regular and agency staff are on duty at all times. The registered manager said that the home uses the same agency workers to provide consistency within the team and regular staff members do some extra shifts, within limits to ensure safe working. Staff personnel and recruitment records were seen in relation to three staff members. The organisation has an agreement with CSCI that the original documents are held centrally and the information is transferred to a form that is held in the home for inspection. The information seen indicated that the organisation carried out required checks on staff before they worked with residents in the home, such as Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults). Also that new staff completed application Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 forms with employment histories and two written references were obtained for each staff member. All but two of the staff had achieved NVQ level 2 qualifications and these two had either completed or were undertaking the Learning Disability Award Framework (LDAF) induction programme. Nine members of staff had NVQ level 3 and two more had started level 3. Two staff members had NVQ level 4 and two others were planning to start level 4 in January 2007. In addition to the registered manager, there are two assistant managers who have obtained the NVQ4 Registered Manager Award. There is an ongoing programme of staff training and development. All but two of the staff had first aid certificates and all staff received training in fire safety, safe handling of medication, infection control, food hygiene, health and safety, mental health awareness, schizophrenia and diabetes. The manager had also requested additional specific training for staff about autism. A notice in the office showed dates when each individual staff member was due for update training in adult protection issues. The registered manager said she was going through the adult protection policy and procedure individually with staff in order to assess their understanding. Communication training and related refresher courses were also booked for November. Control and restraint training was taking place on a monthly basis and dates were already booked into next year. A new staff supervision and appraisal policy was in place and a supervision register was seen. Staff members received formal recorded supervision at approximately two-monthly intervals. Comments from two of the staff indicated that the home’s management are always accessible and supportive. The staff members demonstrated clarity with regard to their roles and responsibilities and in relation to physical intervention as a last resort, using de-escalating techniques in the first instance. Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 & 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ benefit from a well run home that seeks their views and promotes the health, safety and welfare of residents and staff. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has been in post for over two years and has the Registered Manager Award. Mrs Julie Harris receives regular support from her line manager within the organisation and keeps her training updated along with the staff team. Good working relationships were observed between the staff group and the residents and staff. Staff members confirmed that they found the management approachable and supportive. The organisation operates a quality assurance system that includes anonymous questionnaire surveys sent out to people who use the services, their next-of-kin, care managers and staff. The results of these are evaluated and given to the manager who had subsequently written a development plan for the home. The home conducts its own additional survey and also obtains Heywood Sumner House DS0000055844.V314911.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 residents views through meetings, which are recorded. The minutes of a recent residents’ meeting were seen and further demonstrated that they were involved in decision making within the home. Regular staff meetings are held and recorded and residents are also invited to relevant parts of these. Regulation 26 monitoring visits by an appointed person within the organisation were taking place. Safe working practices are maintained in the home for the safety of residents, visitors and staff. An alarm call system is in operation on the premises and staff members carry personal alarms, which can also be used to track staff as they move around the home. The registered manager demonstrated how the system worked and staff were seen to respond rapidly, arriving at the source and location of the alarm in a matter of seconds. The home is also equipped with two-way radios for staff to carry when in the grounds of the house and for residents to take with them when they go to the local shops or post office. A record is kept of weekly tests of portable alarms and equipment. Staff members receive training and updates in mandatory health and safety subjects as part of the rolling programme of training. A fire safety risk assessment and current records of fire drills and equipment checks were in place. A file containing up-to-date certificates relating to tests and services of equipment and appliances, such as gas, electric and fire safety systems was also seen. This included a risk assessment and regular checks for Legionella. The home had the new style of accident report book and this was up to date and being filled in correctly.
