Care is provided for up to twelve young adults with a learning disability. The focus of one of the bungalows is on supporting service users with specific behavioural needs. In the other house, staff assist people with quite profound needs, including physical disabilities. The accommodation is purpose built and all on the ground floor. The houses are set in a hollow with quite high banks on three sides so the outlook is restricted. One of the bungalows has a large garden. The other only having a very small area at the back. The service users each have a single bedroom and in both bungalows there are shared bathrooms, lounges and dining rooms. There is parking to the front of the bungalows. The home is owned by the Craegmoor Healthcare organisation. The position of Registered Manager was vacant, but the home was being managed on a day-to-day basis by the Deputy Manager, Ms Nicola Cressey, who, she said, intends to apply for the post in due course. The weekly fee was in the range of £775 to £1112. This covered 24-hour care and accommodation, but residents will be responsible for such things as their own hairdressing, magazines, taxi fares, food purchased off-site and outings. This information was correct on 13th April 2006. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This site visit took place unannounced, in line with the Commission’s policy. It was explained to the Deputy Manager that the frequency of site visits to care homes will, in future, be dependent on how the Commission, from evidence gained, feels they are being run. Excellent homes are likely to be visited less frequently than homes about which there are some concerns or that are subject to enforcement action and which might close. This was the first site visit of this inspection year and, while not certain, another unannounced random visit could follow before March 2007. The visit was timed to allow some examination of records and contact with people who live and work at the home. The Commission had some information provided by Ms Cressey prior to the visit and she and her staff were able to give some further details of the education and/or work experience, leisure activities, family contact and community links that residents have. On the day following the visit staff faxed to the Commission records of service users’ appointments with the dentist, optician, chiropodist and contact with Community Psychiatric Nurses and access to specialist health care. The Commission’s newly-introduced policy of ‘intelligence gathering’ to provide the ‘bigger picture’ of how the home was operating was explained to a visiting NVQ Assessor. She agreed to e-mail her views and later did so. The father of one resident was spoken with on the telephone when he called the home to speak to his son and his views, too, were useful in forming a view about how Kalmia and Mallow is being run. He agreed to complete a comment card when next he visits the home. Two service users completed and returned comment cards. No other comment cards were received. In coming to its view about the home, the Commission took account of what are called ‘Regulation 26 reports’. These are reports of visits by a senior member of staff in the Craegmoor organisation. The visits are undertaken monthly and should be unannounced. We also looked back at correspondence over the last 12 months between the Commission, the home and Craegmoor. Any relevant letters from interested parties, including professionals and other agencies were also taken into account. This site visit looked at all of the National Minimum Standards that are considered to be particularly important in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of the people living at Kalmia and Mallow. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 6 What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: • • It is important to get a registered manager in post as a matter of urgency. From what the Commission has heard, it is important that the acting manager is supported and encouraged by the organisation through the application process and beyond. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 7 • • • • • • • • • A more coordinated approach by staff to communicating with one resident, in particular, would improve the resident’s opportunities to choose. The system of communicating to all care staff any changes to residents’ care arrangements should not rely on the Message Book. They should have a far higher profile. ‘Personal’ information about different residents’ care should not be recorded all together in the Message Book, but should be on separate sheets so as not to compromise privacy and confidentiality. Medication administration must be tightened so that people receive their medication regularly and on time It is important that the good efforts to train staff in Protection of Vulnerable Adults continue - to include all staff. Efforts must be made to keep the houses smelling clean and fresh at all times. The specialist bath and sensory garden, recommended by the organisation’s own Area Manager back in January 2006, would provide additional benefits for residents. The recruitment procedures would be improved if written references were only accepted from previous employers and/or professionals and not from personal friends of the applicant or their relatives. Some additional thought should be given to the different ways in which one resident, in particular, is stimulated.

Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–5) Individual Needs and Choices (Standards 6-10) Lifestyle (Standards 11-17) Personal and Healthcare Support (Standards 18-21) Concerns, Complaints and Protection (Standards 22-23) Environment (Standards 24-30) Staffing (Standards 31-36) Conduct and Management of the Home (Standards 37 – 43) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2 and 3. Some good progress has been made in providing documentaton in different formats and besides giving the services users a greater chance to understand them, this will have made staff think about the ways that they communicate with service users. But in respect to one person, in particular, the approach did not appear to be sufficiently coordinated, with staff ploughing their own furrows in a sense. The lack of stimulation, especially at a time when the service user had 1:1 care, was poor. Overall, the Commission considers the quality in this outcome area to be poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a site visit to this home, observation and discussion with staff. EVIDENCE: Evidence was seen of documentation, including fire safety procedures, in picture format. Communication profiles were complete for two service users, in particular, who have communication difficulties. There was some evidence of an isolated approach to ensuring that a service user has choices. For instance, one member of staff described the good efforts she is making to establish a sufficient level of communication to enable choices, say about clothes, to be made, by ‘eye pointing’. Another member of staff who is reasonably new in post was observed supporting the resident concerned. While she was kind and considerate she showed little real understanding of how the service user is likely to make her wishes known, or how to seek cues and clues. There was little evidence of the service user being stimulated. On Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 four different site visits she has been observed sitting in her chair in front of the television with no apparent interest in what is being shown. There must be some doubt about whether this is suitable stimulation for the person concerned. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7, 9 and 10. There was evidence to show that most people using this service are able to make decisions, and take considered risks, in respect of their day to day lives, thus increasing their independence, and that this is respected and supported by staff The quality in this outcome area is adequate. EVIDENCE: One service user manages his care with some support from staff. This includes him going into town whenever he wishes and making his own purchases. These are not always appropriate. The choice of food items is particularly concerning, but this represents his own choice. Another service user who is diabetic has fluctuating blood sugar levels owing to the choice of diet especially when out with a family member. There was evidence of service users making their own decisions about choice of clothing, leisure activities, music, menu etc. Staff are clear that they are not allowed to restrict choices unreasonably, but can advise and guide. Information from a third party confirmed that personal details about residents is handled sensitively and in confidence. There is some doubt as to whether the system for making known to care staff any changes to care arranagements was sufficiently robust. Staff said these were Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 written in the Message Book. Not only might this compromise privacy, dignity and confidentiality, it is possible that not all staff will see them, especially if they have been on leave or not on shift for some days. There did not seem to be any way that they would be flagged up as a priority. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Evidence showed that the residents, where possible, and where they wish, have sufficient work experience, community links, leisure activities and family contact, thereby stimulating them and providing interest. The quality in this outcome area is good. EVIDENCE: Formal day care activities off site are split about half and half between residents. Two people, in particular, have no interest and staff said another is unpredictable as to her willingness to attend. All have the opportunity to shop and spend time with staff off site if they wish. Most service users have some family contact if they wish. One, in particular, spends overnights stays with family every 2 or 3 weekends. Some service users do small housekeeping chores such as laying the table, clearing away etc. Some assist with meal preparation with a lot of staff support. There is some meal choice. One person had a pizza on its own while others had lamb chops and vegetables. Staff did know about individual likes and dislikes. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 15 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20. Residents do have suitable and regular access to external health care facilities and, when necessary, specialist services, including community nurses. Some of the homes own arrangements for the administration of medication do not always appear sufficiently robust to protect and safeguard the welfare of residents. The quality in this outcome area is only ‘adequate’, the problems over medication administration being particularly concerning. EVIDENCE: The home has a hoist for one person who is profoundly disabled. A new, high tech chair has just been delivered. There have been problems with adapting it and staff at the home have taken steps to get the engineer back to adjust it. There is evidence of specialist health care facilities when needed. One person is currently held in secure conditions off site for a mental health assessment. A behaviour therapist visited during inspection to advise on behaviour management for one peson who staff feel is tense. Doctors, NHS dentist, optician and health checks are available. There is an element of choice by residents. Some appointments were not kept. Medication Administration records (MAR sheets) were checked. There was evidence seen of 3 medication irregularity forms for 7th April 2006. Three residents did not have their 8.00pm medication as staff had forgotten. There was another occasion when Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 there had been a problem with medication (3rd March 2006), but the two medication irregularity forms had yet to be completed so it was not possible to say why this had happened. One resident had a form of supported self medication, but the arrangement had failed and he had been holding tablets under his tongue and spitting them out after staff had gone away. Another service user is being encouraged to take some responsibiity for his own medication administration by approaching staff when it is time for him to take tablets. He has shown some unwillingness to cooperate with these arrangements. The Regulation 26 visitor recommended in January 2006 that a specialist bath was provided in Mallow. This has yet to be provided. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23. The home has made good progress in this regard, but there is still some work to be done in respect of training for all staff so that they are all fully informed and residents’ welfare is safeguarded. The quality in this outcome area is good. EVIDENCE: The training matrix for March 2006 showed that 15 staff have now completed Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) training. Five staff have yet to do this important training, including a Senior Supprot Worker, a Bank worker and a night carer. The Complaint Log was not checked on this occasion. The Complaint procedure is in sign format. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30. The houses looked fit for purpose, in good repair and well maintained. The provision of a specilaist bath would improve the facilities for one person in particular and for staff who assist and support. The quality in this outcome area is good. EVIDENCE: There were no obviously poorly maintained areas. Most rooms looked inviting. Both houses were nicely furnished and fitted with pictures and ornaments around. The bedrooms were extensively personalised. There is no specialist bath for one person currently in a wheel chair. The sensory garden recommended in January 2006 would benefit service users. A member of staff confirmed she had food handling and food hygiene training. The training matrix showed all but one member of staff had this training. One area in Mallow had an unpleasant odour. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 34, 35 and 36. Some real efforts have been made to improve induction and individual supervision for staff, and to encourage NVQ assessment, thus ensuring carers have access to information and development. Careful consideration must be given when bringing staff into post before their CRB disclosure have been received. Obtaining written references only from professionals or other agencies would improve the robustness of the recruitment proccess. The quality in this outcome area is adequate. EVIDENCE: The training matrix showed that more than 50 of care staff have done, or are doing, NVQ 2 or 3. CRB certificates were seen for two staff appointed since the ‘additional’ site visit in January 2006. Both came into post before their certificates were received. Recruitment procedures were looked into. The manager was advised not to allow written references from personal friends or family members. Induction training had been completed for all new staff in post. Supervision records were up to date with plans for individual sessions every 6 weeks or so. The National Minimum Standards call for 6 sessions a year - so every 8 weeks. Kalmia & Mallow DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 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, 39, 41 and 42. The home has been without a registered manager for over a year now and this is of concern to the Commission. We have been unable during this long period to test, through an application process, the fitness of the people put forward to manage the home on a day to day basis and while there have of late been signs of returning stability, this is worrying. The quality in this outcome area is poor. EVIDENCE: No application has yet been made for registration as manager. The Acting Manager took advantage of the inspection to ask some questions about the process. The Commission had received an assurance from Craegmoor that an application would be made by the end of March. This matter is now very urgent. The applicant has yet to make a CRB application. The Message Book was seen to contain some quite ‘personal’ information about residents. This should more properly be on separate sheets and placed in individual case files to maintain privacy and confidentiality. The accident records were examined and found to be in order.

Yes. STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS This section sets out the actions, which must be taken so that the registered person/s meets the Care Standards Act 2000, Care Homes Regulations 2001 and the National Minimum Standards. The Registered Provider(s) must comply with the given timescales. No. 1. Standard YA3 Regulation 12(4)(a) Requirement Timescale for action 19/04/06 2. YA20 13(2) 3. YA23 13(6) The Registered Persons must ensure that a coordinated approach is taken to the matter of communicating with residents, but in particular to a resident with no language skills and who is likely to find it difficult to make their wishes known. The Registered Persons must 19/04/06 ensure that medication administration procedures are sufficiently robust so that residents always receive their medication in line with prescription. The Registered Persons must 09/06/06 continue efforts to provide Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) training for all staff. This is a repeat requirement from the last three inspections. The Registered Persons must ensure that all parts of the home are free from unpleasant odours at all times. The Registered Providers must without delay put forward for registration a suitably qualified and experienced person to DS0000027529.V290745.R01.S.doc 4. YA30 16(2)(k) 19/04/06 5. YA37 9(2)(c)(i) 19/04/06 Kalmia & Mallow Version 5.1 Page 23 manage the home. 6. YA38 12(5)(a) The home has been without a registered manager for over a year now. The Registered Providers must put in place measures, in a real sense, to support the acting manager and to provide assistance and encouragement during any application process. 19/04/06 RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations relate to National Minimum Standards and are seen as good practice for the Registered Provider/s to consider carrying out. No. 1. 2. Refer to Standard YA3 YA6 Good Practice Recommendations The Registered Persons should try to find more ways to stimulate one resident, in particular, who has few communication skills. The Registered Persons should introduce a more effective system for sharing information with care staff about any changes in care arrangements for residents. The changes should have a high profile so that all staff, on their return to work, will be made aware of them even if they have not been on shift for some time. The Registered Persons should follow the recommendation of its own Area Manager, made in January 2006, and install a specialist bath in Mallow as soon as possible. The Registered Persons should follow the recommendation of its own Area Manager and create a sensory garden for use by residents. In order to maintain the robustness of the recruitment process the Registered Persons should avoid accepting written references from personal friends or family members and only take into account the written views of previous employers and/or ‘professionals’. The Registered Persons should encourage staff to record information that might be considered ‘personal’ to residents on separate sheets and not in a Message Book that could compromise privacy and confidentiality. 3. 4. 5.
