What the care home does well

The home is very well presented to prospective clients both in general appearance and in the excellent sources of information provided. The home provides very person centred personal care in a friendly, homely atmosphere and a very pleasantly maintained environment. The assessment of needs process, and the derived care plans, are thoroughly maintained and of a good standard. The home has provided staff training and NVQ level 2 numbers of staff exceed the requirements of standards. Training Orgainisation for Personnal Social Services standard induction and foundation training has been introduced and staff supervision is well established and relevant to guiding staff in their activities of work.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has been very receptive to previous guidance and requirements and has been proactive in implementing these. These include extending the fire alarm system, providing staff with a toilet (although this arrangement remains temporary) and the pre-employment checks have improved to ensure these are completed in advance of staff commencing work.

What the care home could do better:

The extensive grounds and patio areas should be maintained to provide the service users with a safe, pleasant and comfortable facility. The home should seek to make provision for service users to receive visitors in private without need to use their bedrooms. Staff should seek service users views and be responsive to individual wishes such as providing for food preferences over and above the standard menus. Trained staff should demonstrate responsibility for their own health by discontinuing the practice of re-sheathing needles before disposal.

Holbeche House Nursing Home E55_v241373_Holbeche House NH_s58391_Stg4.doc Version 1.40 Page 6 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This is the report of a statutory announced inspection undertaken by one inspector over a full day during the summer 2005 and involved a full tour of the bedrooms, communal rooms and service areas. Other information was gathered through observation, meeting with staff and examing records. Inaddition the manager completed a pre-inspection questionnaire and a small number of service users and relatives comment cards were received . The responses in the comment cards were overall most positive, one service user wanted more influence in the choice of food provided and another thought the activities were not suitable for their needs. Relative responses, while overall satisfied with care, all felt there were not sufficient staff always on duty and a number were unaware of the complaints procedure or the availability of the inspection reports. One wished to meet their relative in private without use of the bedroom and one observed that staff should assist more at meals (the example given to cut food up). The inspector took the opportunity to speak with most service users and those able to communicate their views were positive regarding all aspects of the home and care provision. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The home has been very receptive to previous guidance and requirements and has been proactive in implementing these. These include extending the fire alarm system, providing staff with a toilet (although this arrangement remains temporary) and the pre-employment checks have improved to ensure these are completed in advance of staff commencing work.

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 standard(s) 1 - 5 The homes statement of purpose and service user guide are good sources of information providing details of the service enabling service users and families to make informed decisions about admission to the home, this is confirmed at admission by contract. The staff group collectively have the knowledge and skills to assess needs and to meet these assessed needs of the current service users. Confirmation that assessed needs can be met furthers enables service users to make informed decision about entering the home as does the opportunity to visit and trial the services offered. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose and service users guide were reviewed and updated during June last year and will be further reviewed on completion of the registration process of the manager. The documents provide current and prospective service users with a good source of information from which to make informed decisions about the suitability of the home and the services they offer. The information is also available on audio cassette and in large Holbeche House Nursing Home E55_v241373_Holbeche House NH_s58391_Stg4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 print. A copy of the service user guide was seen in each of the bedrooms visited and both were available in the reception area. A sample of residents files were inspected in both the general nursing and EMI areas and were seen to include a contract and a letter of confirmation that service users needs can be met by the service. The case files for each of the areas of the home were inspected and found to include a pre-admission assessment and further in depth assessments at the time of admission using Ropers model of activities of daily living and including individual risks such as falls, pressure sores, nutrition and continence. All assessments are subject to monthly review by means of raising a care plan for each assessment undertaken. Introductory visits and trial stays are encouraged by the home, ensuring that people have time to make decisions, which are right for them. The home does not provide intermediate care. Holbeche House Nursing Home E55_v241373_Holbeche House NH_s58391_Stg4.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 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 standard(s) 7, 8 & 9 Health care needs of service uses are fully met and care planning in the home is overall of a good standard adequately guiding staff in the delivery of care needs. There remains scope to improve if service users are not to be at risk of needs not being fully met. Arrangements for the administration of medication are good and ensure service users medication needs will be safely met. EVIDENCE: A sample of case files were selected at random in each area of the home to be inspected and case tracked. The care plans were seen to be drawn from the assessed needs process and were relevant and maintained to a good standard. The care plans reflect actual care requirements and the service users preferences of how it is to be given. It was observed that a contingency plan was available for the care of diabetes but requires to be more directive to staff on actions to be taken if a complication arises. The files show that the care plans are reviewed monthly. All service users are registered with a GP who provide a weekly visit routinely, other allied health care providers also attend on a regular basis. Holbeche House Nursing Home E55_v241373_Holbeche House NH_s58391_Stg4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 The home has a good range of pressure relieving equipment and these were observed to be in use. Where mattresses were in use an equivalent cushion was seen to be provided. No service users are identified as able to self-medicate.

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 standard(s) 12, 13 & 15 The home provides a limited but varied social and recreational activity programme that provides interest and pleasure for service users. Visitors are welcome and help to keep service users informed about the wider community.

The space within the lounges is adequate to enable different activities to take place. Lighting is domestic in character and furnishings are of a good quality. The 46 single and 1 double bedroom have either wash hand basins or have ensuite facilities. The bedrooms have good quality furnishings and a proportion have nursing beds. Many of those seen have been personalised with pictures and ornaments. Ventilation is natural from windows that are fitted with restrictors.
