The management and staff at Keller House have continued to work very hard over the last year to meet the National Minimum Standards and have maintained the standards met. The care planning system has changed and all the information from previous documentation transferred. The procedures for dealing with medicines have been improved and now record clearly their safe administration and storage. Staff training continues to be provided and a training record kept. The feedback from staff was very positive regarding the training provided.

What the care home could do better:

Two immediate requirements were identified during the inspection, one was ensuring that cleaning fluids are not left in bathrooms and that the cleaning cupboard is kept locked to ensure the safety of the residents and the other requirement was the use of objects to prop open doors. These were rectified immediately by the manager and will not be listed in the requirement section of the report. There are some recommendations of good practice made and these are referred to in the body of the report.

The reader should be aware that the Care Standards Act 2000 and Care Homes Regulation Act 2001 often use the term ‘service user’ to describe those living in care home settings. For the purpose of this report those living at Keller House will be referred to as ‘residents’. This was a key inspection that included an unannounced visit to the home and contact with resident’s representatives and visiting health and social care professionals. The unannounced visit included a meeting with the registered manager who received the inspector’s feedback at the end of the inspection. On the day of the home visit the inspector spent most of her time meeting with residents and their visitors, speaking with staff and observing practice in the home. During the inspection visit 5 residents care documentation was reviewed in depth. A further selection of documentation was reviewed as part of the inspection process and this included the statement of purpose and service users guide, staff duty rotas, training records, 4 recruitment files, records relating to health and safety and a number of policies and procedures. Three staff members were also interviewed in private. In addition service users surveys were given to 6 residents or their representatives and staff surveys were sent to the home for staff to return. The information contained in the returned surveys has been incorporated into this report. What the service does well: Keller house provides a good standard of personal care and support care within a friendly and homely environment. The premises are well maintained and all parts of the home are clean and hygienic. All resident were smartly dressed, wearing appropriate clothing for the temperature of the home. Time and attention had been given to their appearance, including nails and hair, the men were shaven.

Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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 the following standard(s): 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. Prospective residents and their representatives are provided with information about the home in order to make an informed choice about whether to live at the home. The pre-admission assessment procedures ensure residents admitted can have their care needs met within the home by experienced staff. EVIDENCE: There is a range of information available about the home and the services it provides, which is given to all residents and their families before their admission to the home. This includes a statement of purpose and the aims and objectives of Keller House. As yet there is still a need to develop a suitable service users guide specifically for the residents to refer to. It is acknowledged from talking to the residents at Keller House that it not something that they feel is important to their comfort, but it is a useful document for family members and representatives to refer to. Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 There is a statement of terms and conditions, which includes the services covered by the fees and the room to be occupied. A review of the care documentation confirmed that pre-admission assessments are completed, and are currently completed by the manager. A new care plan system has recently been instigated and one new pre-admission assessment form was seen completed in full. The assessments viewed during the inspection were found to be completed in full and were used to ensure that admissions to the home were suitable and that the home have the staff and environment to meet the care needs of the new resident. The information contained in these assessments is then used to provide the basis of the care documentation in the home. The prospective residents’ are seen either in their home or hospital before admission and the manager confirmed that wherever possible the family or representative is involved. None of the residents spoken with had a clear recollection of how they came to live at Keller House. The manager was able to verbally demonstrate her knowledge and awareness of the different specialities admitted to the home and ensures that the carers employed have attended relevant courses to deal with the needs of the elderly and also specialised courses for certain medical complaints. Trial visits to the home can be arranged. The manager confirmed that selffunding residents are invited to a trial period to ensure suitability of the home; this is clearly stated in the Statement of Purpose and in the statement of terms and conditions. Intermediate or rehabilitative care is not provided at Keller House. Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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, 9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. Generally care plans provide a good framework for the delivery of care, however these need to provide clear guidance to care staff on all the care needs of all the residents. The home was found to be meeting resident’s health and general needs with accessed additional specialist support when needed. Medication practices at present are satisfactory. EVIDENCE: The care documentation pertaining to five residents were reviewed as part of the inspection process. These were found to include plans of care, nutritional assessment, and personal histories and risk assessments. On the whole the care documentation was seen to be greatly improved and demonstrated that the care was reviewed and evaluated on a regular basis, however it was noted that the plans of care did not always cover all the communication needs of residents. For example one resident who has communication problems did not have any guidance in the documentation to facilitate this vital need. There was evidence of a nutritional risk assessment being performed on all residents, Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 and further guidance for staff in completing these assessments would be beneficial. As staff become more familiar with the new care plan system, the quality of the care plans will continue to improve. Two surveys received from visiting professionals commented that “ I have no concerns regarding the care of residents” and “ the residents seem content and the staff are knowledgeable regarding the residents health problems”. Two relatives spoken to were completely satisfied with the care provided at the home one saying that the home ‘the staff are very caring’. Residents spoken to were also satisfied, comments included ‘I am happy and content here’ ‘ I think I am well looked after’. There are policies and procedures in place for the storing, administrating, disposal and receipt of medication; they were last updated in October 2005. The medication administration records were viewed and were completed correctly. A recommendation of good practice is that any verbal orders taken should be signed and dated. During the inspection the residents were seen being cared for with respect and kindness and their dignity being protected at all times. Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered both during and before the visit to this service. Meals remain good in respect of both quality and variety that meets service users tastes and choice. Residents are able to make a range of choices about their lives as well as maintaining links with friends and relatives. EVIDENCE: The inspector observed residents being able to spend time where and how they wanted moving around the home freely. Set routines are avoided as far as possible and residents are able to determine when they would like to go to bed and what time they would like to get up in the morning. This was confirmed during chats with the residents living in the home. Residents are able to choose whether they wanted to join in the activities provided which are available in the mornings and afternoons and include bingo, skittles, exercise sessions, bowls and games. Residents and their representatives felt the activities and entertainment provided was satisfactory. The activities provided did not demonstrate any creative sessions, such as flower arranging or painting and this might be enjoyed by the residents. Care plans have been developed but there is still little information recorded Keller House DS0000021145.V309312.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 regarding past lives and interests. Two surveys received by post would like more outside trips arranged. On speaking to residents and visitors it was clear that visiting is very positively encouraged with no restrictions being imposed. One visitor expressed a satisfaction that staff made him feel welcome whenever he visited. The meal viewed by the inspector was found to be well presented with an emphasis on home cooking and fresh ingredients. The main meal was chicken casserole, with a dessert of their choice. There was evidence in the food diary of alternative meals being provided dependent on the residents’ personal preferences. Residents were able to have their meals where they wanted to and to have extra portions if they desired. Most residents and visitors praised the food, and the vegetarians in the home were well catered for. Some residents were less forthcoming in the view on the home, saying it was “O.K” “satisfactory” and “all right”. The dining room is situated on the first floor adjacent to the kitchen. There is now a supper cook that comes in the evening to prepare suppers, which the manager confirmed has improved the time constraints on the carers. One area that needs to be reviewed regularly is the provision of drinks throughout the day, tea and coffee were offered at set times, but there were no jugs of water/squash available in the lounge areas that residents can access if they want to. A recent Environmental Health inspection was carried out with positive feedback. It was mentioned that the cook attend her basic food hygiene course and the manager confirmed that this has been attended to.

The complaint procedure is clearly detailed in the Statement of Purpose and is available to residents and their families enabling them to share their concerns formally and confidentially. Staff spoken with had a good understanding and knowledge of Adult Protection policies and procedures, which protect the residents from harm and abuse. EVIDENCE: There are appropriate policies and procedures in place regarding complaints, and it was confirmed that these are followed when investigating any concerns raised at Keller House. The complaint book was viewed and this demonstrated that all complaints are recorded, along with the outcome and action taken by the home to resolve the complaint. A little more information regarding the action taken and outcome should be recorded. The staff spoken with were knowledgeable regarding the complaint procedure and of how to start the process if the manager is not available. No complaints have been received by the CSCI since the last inspection. Three surveys received stated that they were aware of the complaint procedure and would have no problem with raising a concern if they wanted to. The Adult Protection policy in the home was found to be up to date and staff interviewed were knowledgeable about the systems in place to protect vulnerable service users. There is on-going training for all staff in Protection of Vulnerable Adults.

Residents are encouraged to personalise their own rooms and many have done so with ornaments, pictures and small pieces of furniture. Maintenance of the home was seen in the main to be good, one bedroom ceiling showed evidence of water damage, and this was reported to the manager. There are toilet, washing and bathing facilities to meet the needs of the service users, including showers and assisted baths.
