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): 3. Standard 6 is n/a as the home does not provide intermediate care. The assessment process is sufficiently comprehensive to ensure service users’ needs are identified and met at the home. Staff demonstrated a good level of knowledge about service users needs. EVIDENCE: A total of 5 care plans were checked across the 3 floors. These demonstrated that service users had their individual needs assessed prior to and again on admission to the home. Assessments consisted of activities of daily living including; • • • • Personal care and hygiene Nutritional screening- nutritional status Assistance with mobility Health care and psychological needs

Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 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. There is a consistent care planning system in place on the whole, to adequately provide staff with the information they need to meet service users’ needs. The health needs of service users are well met with evidence of good multi-disciplinary working taking place on a regular basis. This would indicate that the partnership arrangements between the provider, Care UK, Islington Local Authority and Primary Care Trust are establishing well. The system in place for management and administration of medications is good and should ensure service users’ medication needs are met. A recommendation has been made in relation to carrying out a review of one service user’s pain control needs. EVIDENCE: The care plans checked had comprehensive assessments of service users’ individual needs. This included a clear plan of action to meet each identified need. These included: • Personal Care & hygiene • Continence management
Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 • • • • Nutrition food and any special diets, such as for service users with diabetes. One service user, who has difficulty in swallowing was having a pureéd diet. Moving and handling and mobility Care of and prevention of pressure sores Dressings for leg ulcers The care of service users with dementia was discussed and the manager confirmed that training in this respect was given. This was done as part of a recent induction programme. Care Plans to address each need were reviewed regularly. The GP visits the home routinely on Mondays and Thursdays and as necessary. Out of hours on-call arrangements are in place. There is also input from District Nurses and a Tissue Viability Nurse and this was evidenced from their records on service users’ files. The care of a service user who was reported as having a grade 4 pressure sore was discussed. Their Care Plan and documentation indicated the service user’s position was being changed two-hourly and wound re-dressed twice weekly as advised by the Tissue Viability Nurse. Staff reported the service user was admitted with the pressure sore. The service user was being nursed on a special pressure-relieving mattress. Medication had been prescribed for pain but staff reported the service user had refused it, saying she did not have pain. The inspectors advised that pain control for this service user be reviewed to ensure appropriate pain relief as necessary, particularly prior to changing their dressing. A wound assessment chart had been completed and there was a record of when dressings had been changed. The inspectors advised that the Care Plan should specify the two days of the week on which the dressing needs to be changed to ensure it was not overlooked. The care of a service user who had leg ulcers was discussed. The dressing of their ulcers was carried out by District Nurses and records of such were seen. The service user indicated they were happy with the care being provided. Input from other health care professionals included Occupational Therapist, Chiropodist, Optician and Dentist The arrangements for management of medication were assessed. The policies and procedures for medications management were checked as part of the registration process and deemed satisfactory. Arrangements were in place with Boots for the supply of medicines and advice is provided as part of that service. A sample of service users’ drug
Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 administration charts were checked and were found to be in order, with all medications administered being recorded. The storage of medications was in order. A controlled drug, Temazepam was stored on the second floor. The balance was checked against the controlled drug register and found to be correct. The drug fridges on each floor were checked. These were at the correct temperature ratios with records of such being recorded daily. None of the service users were self-medicating. Staff demonstrated a good awareness of medications management including drug uses. Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 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. Being newly registered, and the home is getting established, the arrangements to enable service users to participate in leisure and community activities to suit service user needs are still in progress. Visitors are encouraged at the home. Service users and their relatives are involved in the planning of their care. The menus and meals are varied and enjoyable. EVIDENCE: Communication with service users is somewhat limited because of their cognitive impairment due to dementia. However staff were able to demonstrate their awareness of service users likes and dislikes in relation to a broad range of activities. This was evident from discussion with staff and the relaxed communication observed between staff and service users. One service user said “Staff are marvellous. I am very well looked after. I cannot fault the care.” Inspectors spoke with a relative whose husband had been transferred from another home. She said she preferred the other home but that her husband was settling in. • • • Activities organiser in post Programme of activities Service users use the day centre on site for some activities

One service user spoken with said they would like West Indian food. Staff did say they had arranged for the service user to have Plantain. A relatives’ meeting had been arranged to take place on the day following the inspection. The manager confirmed links had been made with a local church and service arranged at the home on a weekly basis. Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 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. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 & 18. The arrangements in place for handling complaints have been assessed as satisfactory. To date only one complaint had been received and it appears this was handled appropriately. This standard will need to be reviewed as the home becomes more established. The arrangements in place for adult protection need to be improved. The manager needs to ensure that all staff have a better understanding of adult protection issues. Failure to ensure such may place service users at risk. EVIDENCE: There is a complaints procedure in place and written information was displayed within the home on how and who to complain to. Such information also included the contact details of the Commission. Complaint forms were available on each floor to be completed in the event a service user or relative wished to make a complaint. Staff spoken with were aware of the complaints procedure and what to do if a service user or relative wished to make a complaint. One complaint had been received since the home opened and records of such appeared adequate and the complaint had been resolved. An adult protection policy and procedures were available on each floor and a copy of the Islington Policy and Procedures was also available in the manager’s office. All staff confirmed that they received training as part of their induction training and there were records of this. However, not all staff interviewed knew what
Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 appropriate action to take if an allegation of abuse was reported to them. One member of staff said he would investigate the matter himself. Another member of staff was very clear on what action to take. This was discussed with the manager and demonstrated a need to review the outcome of adult protection training in addition to having a clear, concise, step-by-step, and set of written instructions on action to be taken in the event of an allegation of abuse. The manager confirmed that further adult protection training had been arranged for 27th October 2005. Highbury New Park Care Home DS0000063987.V260767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 Environment

The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 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 & 26. The standard of the environment within the home is good, providing service users with an attractive and safe place. Some service users and their relatives should be encouraged to make their bedrooms more homely by arranging more personalised items to be put in place.

The manager reported that it is planned to have an electrically operated gate at the entrance. The home looked clean throughout. Some service users rooms looked quite bare, whilst others’ looked very personalised and homely.

Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 & 30. The staffing arrangements, evident during the inspection, should ensure service users needs are met. The recruitment and vetting of staff was carried out appropriately and should ensure the safety of services users. The comprehensive induction programme, which took place prior to the opening of the home, should benefit service users and staff. There is a need to ensure that all staff have sufficient knowledge on how to respond to an allegation of abuse in addition to ensuring there is a system in place for recording all training undertaken by each named member of staff. As the home is getting established progress with training will be checked again at the next inspection. EVIDENCE: At the time of the inspection the staffing arrangement for the provision of direct care was as follows: 1st Floor – Day - : 1 team Leader and 3 support Workers. 2nd Floor - Day -: 2 Registered Nurses (1 Unit Manager) & 3 Support Workers. 3rd Floor – Day - : 2 Registered Nurses (1 Unit Manager) & 3 Support Workers.

A recruitment procedure is in place. A sample of staff personal files was checked. These demonstrated two references and a CRB certificate for each member of staff in addition to identification documents and evidence of registration with the Nursing & Midwifery Council (NMC) in respect of Registered Nurses. Staff training was discussed with the manager and staff. The home had recently been opened and there was evidence that staff had received induction training. There was a record of what the induction training covered in the form of a programme and a list of staff names that attended. However, the inspectors advised of the need to have a separate record of all training undertaken in respect of each named member of staff and the Manager advised that a system was being set up to enable this. The need for all members of staff to have sufficient knowledge on responding to allegations of abuse has been highlighted under standard 17. The manager was advised of the need for key members of staff on each floor to undertake a recognised training course on caring for people with dementia, in addition to the training given locally. A number of staff have undertaken, currently 60 , NVQ Level II training. One member of staff reported he had undertaken MRSA training. This is in relation to infection control. As the home is still getting established this standard will be assessed again at the second inspection later in the year.
