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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3. The information provided to prospective residents does not contain sufficient information for them to make an informed choice about whether the home will meet their needs and aspirations. The pre admission assessments do not always contain sufficient information to ensure that the home will meet the needs of prospective residents. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Out of the eight resident satisfaction questionnaires received prior to this inspection seven people said that they did not receive enough information about the home before they moved in. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The information provided to prospective residents was assessed during this visit; it did not contain sufficient information to enable them to make an informed choice about whether the home would be able to meet their needs and aspirations. Five residents stated in their satisfaction questionnaires that they had not received written contracts/terms and conditions of residence. All of the residents whose records were checked had a signed copy of this document on their individual personal files. It was identified that one resident’s race/ethnic origin was incorrect on the preadmission assessment, which had been completed by a social worker. The assessment did not give any information about whether this resident had any specialist cultural or linguistic needs. The manager stated that she had contacted the social worker to check these aspects of the residents needs prior to her admission to the home. However there was no written evidence to confirm this. When the inspector spoke with the resident she stated that she was very happy in the home and that she believed that the home staff are meeting all of her assessed needs. James Hince Court does not provide intermediate care. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10. Residents’ individual care plans appear to contain sufficient information and are updated frequently enough to ensure that staff are always aware of what support and assistance each resident requires. The home’s medication is generally well-managed and residents are treated with respect. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Three residents’ care plans were viewed as part of this inspection, the care plans appeared to address the issues highlighted in the residents assessment process. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 All of the care plans had been reviewed and when necessary amended each month. Where possible residents have signed their care plans to confirm their involvement in the planning and review process. (This is good practice). Records show the residents’ health care needs are being appropriately met; this was confirmed by two of the relatives spoken with during the visit. The home’s medication systems have generally been very well maintained. None of the current residents have been assessed as safe to administer their own medication. Their records receipt and disposal of medication have all been well maintained. The medication is stored securely and an air-conditioning unit has been ordered to ensure that it will always be stored at the correct temperature. One resident’s medication administration records indicated that she had not been given one of her tablets on a number of occasions. The manager stated that this was probably because the resident was asleep and guidance for this medication suggests that a resident should not be woken to have the medication administered. The manager was advised that if medication which has been prescribed by a medical doctor, is not given for any reason, an explanation must be provided. All of the other medication records checked during this inspection, including the records of controlled medication had been well maintained. All of the residents spoken with, who were able to express an opinion, said that staff are friendly and respectful and ensure that their privacy and dignity is maintained at all times. The relatives who were spoken with during the inspection also confirmed this. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15. The lifestyle experienced in the home appears to match the resident’s expectations and preferences. People are encouraged to maintain contact with their families and friends and the food provided appears wholesome and nutritious. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The manager stated that she is continuously looking for new activities and entertainment, which are suitable for the people living at the home. She stated that two members of staff are booked to attend specific training on providing activities for people with dementia on the 30th of June 2007. This was also confirmed by one of the members of staff spoken with during the inspection. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The residents and their relatives spoken with during the inspection said that they are generally satisfied with the activities provided by the home. One relative said that a singer was booked to entertain the residents on the evening of this inspection and that he would be returning later to participate in the entertainment with his wife. Residents and their relatives confirm that visitors are made welcome at any time. One resident said that she could see visitors in her bedroom or use one of the communal areas if you wish to speak to them in private but does not wish to use her bedroom. All of the visitors stated that the staff are very friendly. The manager stated that she tries to provide an environment, which encourages residents to make choices. Individual residents’ care plans also give details of how residents can be encouraged to make decisions about their daily lives. There are regular residents meetings, minutes of which were observed during this visit. The lunch on the day of this inspection appeared wholesome and nutritious. One resident said that she is very satisfied with the food provided by the home. She confirm that there is always a choice of food and that if she does not want the meal suggested on the menu an alternative will be provided. At the time of inspection the manager was in the process of updating the recently revised menus to include pictures of the food, which would help residents to make individual choices. (This is good practice). James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18.

The home has a robust accessible complaints procedure and staff are ensuring that residents are protected from abuse. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The complaints procedure is prominently displayed throughout the home. The Commission for Social Care Inspection has received one formal complaint, which was returned to the registered person to be investigated using the home’s complaints procedure. The manager had also received one formal complaint. Both of these issues had been thoroughly investigated and appropriate action taken. The manager is now keeping a record of all informal complaints and concerns to provide an overview of the nature and frequency of complaints received. (This is good practice). The residents spoken with, who were able to express an opinion, confirmed that they would contact the manager or a senior member of staff if they had James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 any concerns or complaints. They believe that their concerns would be dealt with appropriately. The manager stated that all members of staff receive training in safeguarding adults as part of their induction. She confirmed that all staff training was being reviewed at the time of this visit and that where necessary refresher training will be provided. The member of staff spoken with during this visit was aware of the home’s Whistle Blowing Procedure and of her responsibility to report any incidents of abuse. There have been no allegations of abuse in the home in the last 12 months. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities.

The accommodation has been maintained to a reasonable standard it was clean and hygienic at the time of this inspection. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: A partial tour of the premises was completed as part of this inspection. The purpose-built accommodation has been maintained to a reasonable standard. Shortly prior to the inspection some areas of the home had been flooded, due to the severe weather conditions. These areas were not in use at the time of inspection and some residents had been moved to alternative accommodation. Some newly fitted carpets had been damaged as a result of the flooding. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 One visitor said that his wife was finding it very disruptive having to move to an alternative lounge area. However he did accept that this was only a temporary measure and that she would be able to return to her usual lounge once remedial work had been completed. The residents’ bedrooms viewed during the visit were comfortably furnished and people had clearly been encouraged to personalise the rooms with photographs, ornaments and small items of furniture. All of the residents spoken with, who are able to express an opinion, stated that they liked their bedrooms and confirm that they can use them at any time. The call system was tested in one-bedroom and was answered promptly by staff. Some relatives stated that the garden area is looking poorly maintained. This was difficult to assess, on the day of inspection, due to the very poor weather conditions. The manager stated that a group of people completing community service were in the process of tidying the gardens but that there work had been hampered by the poor weather conditions. All of the residents and visitors spoken with during the inspection confirmed that the home is always clean and free from offensive odours. The home has a comprehensive infection control policy. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29,30. Sufficient staff are being employed to meet the assessed needs of the residents, the homes recruitment policies and practices are generally supporting and protecting residents. The registered person was able to demonstrate a commitment to staff training and development. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The rota provided prior to this inspection and to those viewed for the week of this inspection showed that sufficient staff are being provided to meet the assessed needs of the residents. One relative stated that the home sometimes appears to be short of staff however they could not identify any areas where resident’s needs were not being met. They stated that sometimes relief or agency staff do not always know all of the residents names. This was discussed with the manager who stated that wherever possible the agency staff are employed who have worked in the home on many occasions where new staff are employed they are supported by experienced members of staff. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 All new members of staff complete an appropriate induction-training programme. However it was noted that one member of staff who had transferred from Nottinghamshire County Councils Home Care Services did not have a copy of her induction training and consequently it was not possible to assess whether she had completed all the required elements of the training. The staff training records show that out of a total of 36 in care staff 24 have completed NVQ level 2 or above and nine people were completing the training at the time of inspection. (This is good practice). The home follows Nottinghamshire County Councils recruitment policies and procedures, which include aspects of equal opportunities to ensure that there is no discrimination. The manager did however state that they have had considerable difficulty in recruiting male members of staff. The personal records of two members of staff were assessed as part of this visit. With the exception of one person’s induction training records, the staff records had been maintained to a very good standard. The manager confirmed that staff do not commenced employment until all the required information has been obtained. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35,38. The home is well managed and run in the best interests of the residents. Where checked the health and safety of residents and staff are generally promoted and protected. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: A new registered manager has been appointed since the last inspection the new manager is experienced and well qualified having completed the registered managers award. James Hince Court DS0000035527.V336229.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Residents, staff and visitors said that the manager is very approachable and that she seeks their views about the way in which the home is run. Quality monitoring systems are in place and the manager was in the process of using the information gathered to produce a development plan for the home. The manager was reminded that the development plan must address any individual issues highlighted by residents in the quality review process. Staff do manage some residents’ personal allowances, the records were checked at random and were well maintained. The aspects of health and safety, assessed as part of this visit had generally been well maintained. The homes fire risk assessment had been reviewed in May 2007, however the records of the homes emergency lighting tests indicated that these had not been completed in February, April, May or June 2007. The inspector was informed that the tests had been carried out each month but that the records had not been completed. Nottinghamshire County Councils health and safety department complete a health and safety inspection of the home on a regular basis.
