This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection carried out as part of the annual inspection program and took place between 1.30 and 5.30pm. The manager and hotel services manager were not on site at the time of the inspection and therefore it was not possible to access some information during the inspection which the inspector would have liked to have seen. Some staffing requirements remain outstanding as it was not possible to establish whether or not these had been met. The inspector was assisted during the inspection by the nurses on each floor visited and the handyman. The inspector spent the majority of the time touring the home talking with residents, relatives and staff. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The period since the last inspection has been one of significant change for the staff and manager and the home has focussed on maintaining the standards within the home during this period. A program of redecoration is underway.

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): All standards in this section were checked as part of the last inspection and assessed as met these standards were not checked again during this inspection. EVIDENCE: Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 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): 7,8,10 &11 Service users benefit from quality care however this can not be evidenced as required through the homes recording systems. EVIDENCE: Medication was checked at the last inspection and assessed as safe and was not checked as part of this inspection. Three service users files were viewed as a part of this inspection. Two of these service users had clear care plans in place, which were recorded as reviewed monthly. It is recommended that care plans incorporate the social needs of service users. One care plan for service user “A” and the waterlow risk assessments in the file stated they had been reviewed on 24.2.06 prior to the date of the inspection (the date of the inspection was 22.2.06). The inspector was concerned that staff had predated care plan reviews. The moving and handling care plan on this service users file however was not recorded as having been reviewed and updated since 26.4.05. The registered person is required to ensure that risk assessments and care plans are reviewed and updated regularly, accurate dates of these reviews must be recorded. It is recommended that care plans be reviewed monthly and risk assessments six monthly or more frequently if changes in need occur. Service user “A” was
Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 receiving “ensure” as a nutritional build-up to supplement poor appetite. A fluid chart was also in place however was not totalled and did not appear to be fully completed. The home must ensure that such records are accurately maintained. Daily records evidenced that the service users had the support of a GP, chiropodist and other appropriate health professionals as required. Feedback from relatives was that they were very happy with the healthcare arrangements for their relatives. It was noted that a service user was being transported in a wheelchair with no footplates, the staff said this was because the service user did not like them. All service users must be transported in wheelchairs and foot plates used unless there is a risk assessment in place detailing why this is to happen and what other systems are in place to ensure the service users safety. Relatives comments included. “The staff are all very kind, they take time to talk with mum and chat to her whilst giving care. I am happy with her here. Mum is gaining weight and she enjoys the food. I am kept well informed of any changes in her and am always made to feel welcome when I visit.” Relatives interviewed said that they were confident that the home would manage the death of their loved one sensitively and provide appropriate support in line with their wishes. Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 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.

Mum likes to join in, she has done potting plants, and lots of other things, she went with them to Southend and I met them there so I could spend the time with mum, which was really nice. They decorate the home for valentines, Christmas, Halloween, mothers day and St. Georges day.” “ They made his birthday really nice, organised a sing-along, cake and balloons.” “The staff are all very friendly and we are made welcome whenever we visit. The carers seem really good. The laundry service is very good, hardly anything goes missing and if it does they go to great lengths to find it. We can make tea and toast if we want in the little kitchens and I have even been offered dinner here as I am often about at lunchtime. There’s always something going on and he does join in.”
Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 The food is cooked on the premises from scratch and positive comments were received as to the amount and quality of food provided.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 &18 Systems are in place to protect service users from abuse and carers are aware of the issues. A recommendation has been made for ancillary staff to receive training in adult protection awareness. Service users and their families feel confident in the homes complaints procedures. EVIDENCE: The home has clear complaint policies (viewed at the previous inspection). Relatives said they felt able to complain and were confident in the management of the home taking their concerns seriously. The home has clear policies in place in relation to adult protection and the manager through previous discussions has shown clear awareness as to the procedures to be followed should such an allegation be made. Carers have also shown awareness of the issues. The inspector asked ancillary staff if they had received training in this area and they had not. Previous inspection reports and records provided to the Commission note that all carers and nurses have received this training. No adult protection allegations have been made in the past two years. It is recommended that basic awareness training in adult protection be provided to ancillary staff as they as with carers, need to be aware of the issues and what to do should they observe any ill treatment of service users.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,20,21,22,23,24,25 &26 Service users and their families benefit from safe and suitable accommodation which meets their needs and the national minimum standards. The home is clean and odour free. The home is generally well maintained although some maintenance issues were noted. EVIDENCE: The home is divided into three units on three floors. Each unit operates independently and has its’ own staffing team for the shift. Sufficient and appropriate toilets, bathrooms, bedrooms and communal lounges with kitchenette are provided in each unit. All service users have their own private rooms, which are furnished and decorated according to their choice. The building was maintained to a safe standard. A program of refurbishment is underway which includes decorating all and carpeting many of the communal areas. New curtains were provided last summer. Those areas visited were clean and hygienic with no noticeable odours. From discussions with relatives the day of the visit was representative of the normal standard in the building. Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 15 The manager advised the inspector at the previous inspection that the home is budgeting for the remainder of service user beds to be replaced with high low beds for staff safety and service user comfort by the end of the next financial year. The manager advised the inspector that the whole home is due for refurbishment and that as part of this process over ridable locks will be fitted to all service users bedroom doors by the end of the next financial year. Some maintenance issues were noted as follows: the wardrobe door was broken off in room 30 and requires repair/ replacing. Outside room 54 and the lounge the carpet was not fixed adequately and was lifting presenting a tripping hazard. The registered person is required to have these maintenance issues addressed.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27 &30 Service users benefit from caring competent staff that show a genuine interest in the welfare of the residents. The number of qualified nurses per daytime shift must be maintained at one per unit. EVIDENCE: The inspector was advised that since the last inspection a qualified nurse has now been allocated to work on each floor however on the day of the inspection this nurse was covering the middle floor as well. The home is required to have a qualified nurse on each floor between the hours of 8am and 8pm. Staffing levels were satisfactory with this exception. On the top floor there was one nurse (shared with middle floor) and three carers to provide support to 17 service users most of whom have high care needs. Most of the staff at Hornchurch nursing centre have worked at the home for a number of years. Staff turnover has been little and service users enjoy staff who are regular and who are familiar with their needs. Relatives and service users interviewed spoke very positively about the staff. Relative’s comments included: “There is good continuity of staffing both qualified and carers, they are all very kind and take time to talk and they chat to her whilst providing care.” “ The staff are all very friendly and we are made welcome whenever we visit. The carers seem really good. The laundry service is very good, hardly anything goes missing and if it does they go to great lengths to find it. We can make tea
Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 and toast if we want in the little kitchens and I have even been offered dinner here as I am often about at lunchtime” Staffing requirements from the previous inspection related to staff supervision, induction and recruitment and could not be checked at this inspection and therefore remain outstanding in this report. The manager has however written to the inspector stating : “Supervision. This has started and documentation is in my office to support this. This is in the process of being performed by qualified staff to the care staff and once established will continue on a 2 monthly cycle. Induction. As yet we have yet to employ a member of staff since the last inspection in November 2005. We have been provided induction booklets by Bupa for new staff. …” The home has shown improvement in the frequency of staff meetings being held. The staff nurse interviewed during the inspection had worked at the home for three years. She was familiar with the needs of the service users and able to answer the inspector’s questions regarding care needs. This nurse said she had received training in fire prevention, dementia care, food handling, manual handling and adult protection. The home displays in each lounge a duty rota detailing, which staff are on duty at what time over a 24 hour period this is for the information of service users and their families. It is recommended that the home consider supplementing this with a photo of the individual staff member against their name to aid recognition. Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 18 Management and Administration
The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. 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 and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 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 &38 The home monitors health and safety but at the time of the visit service users, staff and visitors were not fully safeguarded from fire, risk of tripping or food poisoning. EVIDENCE: All key standards in this section were assessed as met at the last inspection and assessed as met or are detailed in this report. Fire doors on the first floor were not automatically closing, this had been identified and the handyman was able to evidence it had been reported to the company contracted to maintain them but a part was being awaited. It was required that the home liaise with the fire authority and agree a plan of safety with the LFEPA for the interim period including whether and when it was acceptable to prop open doors for frail service users to have free mobility around the building, what checks to be carried out and when. It was noted that the fire door to the kitchen was propped open, which the kitchen staff advised
Hornchurch Nursing Centre DS0000015596.V285769.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 was because they were cleaning the floor. When viewing the regular safety checks carried out by the home however it was observed that this had been noted during these checks on several occasions. It therefore appeared that this was not a singular event but part of a pattern of practice. An immediate requirement notice was served in relation to the fire arrangements. At the time of writing the report the inspector had been informed that the notice had been met. The registered person is required to closely monitor fire prevention arrangements. The metal shelving units in the Kitchen have uneven slanted shelves and present a health and safety hazard and therefore require replacing. Carpets outside room 54 and the lounge area must be fully secured. Raw meat was noted to be left uncovered in the fridge. The registered person must ensure that raw meat is appropriately covered at all times to prevent cross contamination. Records of care were not kept accurately in order to evidence the care given, the issues are detailed under standard 7.
