What the care home does well

The statement of purpose and service user guide contained relevant information for residents so that they could make an informed choice of where to live. Prospective residents had their needs assessed prior to admission, and the home had confirmed by letter and the issuing of a contract that they could meet their needs. Individual plans of care were in place for each resident. These contained information on the staff action required to ensure individual needs were met. Residents felt they were treated with respect and their right to privacy and dignity upheld. Systems were in place to ensure the safe storage and administration of medication. All of the residents spoken with said the food provided was good, and alternatives to the menu were offered. Residents and relatives had no complaints but said they would be happy to approach staff if they had. Staff members were trained in adult protection and said they would report any abuse if they became aware of it. The cleanliness of the living environment had been maintained and the home presented well. Residents were pleased with their living environment and had been able to personalise their rooms. Staff undertook a range of training to provide them with the skills needed to carry out their duties. The majority of staff had achieved NVQ level 2 in care. All of the residents and staff said the manager was approachable and supportive. The manager worked within set budgets and insurance cover was in place. Health and safety procedures were implemented and equipment was checked and serviced, to promote the safety of residents.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The service user guide had been updated to include all of the required information. Pre admission assessments were routinely dated and signed. Medication administration systems were undertaken safely, staff signed records after medication had been administered to individual residents. The complaints procedure and adult protection procedure had been updated to include all of the required information. All of the residents said the teatime meal was enjoyable, and the food was good quality. All of the bathrooms and toilets checked had been provided with soap and towels. The manager undertook Residential Staffing Forum guidance on a weekly basis to ensure sufficient staff were provided. Care staff breaks were acknowledged within this equation. The rota available indicated that the manager worked supernumerary to the care hours provided. New kitchen equipment had been purchased in line with plans to refurbish the main kitchen.

What the care home could do better:

The notice board in the grounds indicated that the home provided nursing care, however, the home is no longer registered to provide this type of care and the board needs replacing. The contract required updating to include information on who is responsible for the payment of fees. On the whole the care plans were comprehensive and identified all issues relating to residents health, personal and social care. However, one plan did not contain up to date information on one aspect of a resident`s health. Some activities were offered to residents. The manager was recruiting to a part-time activity worker post to improve the range of activities offered. The majority of the environment was well maintained. However, the entrance area did not create a positive first impression. Woodwork on the front porch was rotten and had damaged paintwork. The carpet in the entrance area was damaged with cigarette burns. Whilst the manager undertook Residential Staffing Forum calculations each week, these did not acknowledge that care staff were removed from care duties to undertake kitchen duties for a short time each evening.Individual training profiles were not kept at the home. The systems to efficiently monitor the training provided were insufficient. The inspector acknowledges that the manager was in the process of introducing a training matrix to improve this system. Staff recruitment files indicated that all of the required information was not routinely obtained. A quality assurance system was not in operation, to seek the views of residents, their representatives and professional visitors. Records of financial transactions were not kept at the home, to evidence that residents` financial interests were safeguarded. Staff supervision, to support and inform staff, did not take place at the required frequency. A system to monitor the staff fire training provided was required. A minority of staff had not participated in a fire drill at the required frequency.

Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. 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 and 30. Residential staffing forum calculations were undertaken. Some further adjustments were required to identify care hours available. The home had a commitment to NVQ training. Staff recruitment files contained the majority of information required, improvements to the system had been undertaken for some new staff. Staff were undertaking training, which enabled them to meet the needs of the residents in the home. Staff training files were not kept at the home. EVIDENCE: The manager undertook weekly residential staffing forum calculations to identify the number of staff hours required. The system had been updated to recognise care staff breaks and the layout of the building. This system needed to be further improved to reflect that some care staff were not available for care duties as they undertook kitchen duties for a short time each evening. The manager confirmed that she was supernumerary to care hours. In exceptional circumstances she would cover care duties. The current weeks rota was available at the home, this evidenced that the managers 37 hours were not calculated as care hours. Other rotas were kept at the homes head offices. The homes rota was being updated to evidence staff breaks had been included in any calculations. This was available for inspection on the homes computer. All staff reported an improvement in staff numbers and availability as three new care staff had been recruited. Hoyland Hall DS0000006485.V251114.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 Levels of NVQ trained staff over and above those required had been achieved. Fourteen of the seventeen care staff had achieved NVQ level 2 in care. A further six staff were undertaking the award at level 3 in care. Two recruitment files were inspected. These contained the majority of required information, and included proof of identity, CRB disclosures, and two written references. The recruitment system had been improved to include evidence that the employee was physically and mentally fit to carry out their duties. One recent employees file also contained evidence that gaps in employment history had been explored. A further recent employees file did not contain this information. Staff confirmed that they undertook a range of training. Individual staff training files were not kept at the home in order to monitor and evidence that relevant training had been undertaken. New staff undertook induction training to equip them with the skills needed to carry out their duties. Hoyland Hall DS0000006485.V251114.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 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): 31,32,33,34,35,36,37 and 38 The manager was a qualified nurse. Staff reported that she was approachable and supportive. A quality assurance system needed to be put into operation. The manager worked within set budgets and insurance cover was in place. Records relating to residents finances were not kept at the home. Staff supervision did not take place at the required frequency. Records were stored securely. Health and safety systems were in operation. Equipment was serviced and checked. A procedure to efficiently monitor staff mandatory training was not in place. A minority of staff had not participated in a drill at the required frequency. EVIDENCE: All of the residents and staff spoken with said the manager was approachable, supportive and a good listener. Staff said they were able to contribute to the development of the home. Hoyland Hall DS0000006485.V251114.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 A quality assurance system, to obtain the views of residents, their representatives and professional visitors to the home, was not in place. The manager confirmed that budgets were in place and insurance cover was provided. Records were stored securely. Staff had access to all policies and procedures. The inspector was unable to inspect the finance records of residents, as previous requirements for financial records of residents to be kept at the home had not been met. Staff supervision, to support and inform staff, did not take place at the required frequency. A health and safety procedure was in place. Staff undertook training on a range of topics including moving and handling, first aid, food hygiene, health and safety and infection control. However, monitoring of training was difficult, as staff training files were not kept at the home. The manager stated that a matrix of staff training was being undertaken to address this issue. The accident book was being completed, however, accident-recording sheets were not removed and filed appropriately. A tour of the building identified no fire exits were blocked indoors and hazardous substances were securely stored. Fire fighting equipment had been serviced and was in date. Weekly fire alarm checks took place. A record relating to staff fire training contained relevant information, however, there was no clear system to monitor this training efficiently. Further examination of these records indicated that three staff had not participated in a practice drill at the required frequency.
