There were some minor shortfalls in medicines practice which could make infection control more difficult Organisation around meal times was raised as an issue by people using the service who felt they were not attended to if they were not in the dining areas. Fire protective doors were wedged open but the manager told the inspector that this was to be dealt with by the fitting of magnetic door closures attached to the fire alarm.

Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This site visit to Kemp Lodge took place in one day with a total of 8hrs being spent on the premises. Before the visit the home completed a pre-inspection questionnaire (PIQ) that detailed some of the homes actions to ensure the safety of people who use the service and is one of the ways the CSCI gathers information. During the visit the inspector spent time with people who use the service talking about their daily lives within the home and what they think about the care support they receive. Time was spent observing staff as they went about supporting people who use the service. Two mealtimes were shared with people who use the service, some of whom invited the inspector to see their rooms. The building was inspected as were a number of records which related to the health and safety of people and the running of the home. Comment cards were provided to people who use the service, their family and professional visitors. Information received will be included within the report where it can be. What the service does well: Kemp Lodge appears to be a happy place to live. All the people spoken with spoke highly of the care and attention provided by care staff.

Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 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 Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,3, 4 & 5 Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service receive information about the home prior to moving in and are assisted to settle in when they move in. EVIDENCE: People who may wish to use the service are provided with a statement of purpose, service users guide, a homes brochure and a quality audit report for the company. If the decision is made to move in, then people receive a booklet called ‘Your Handbook’ which contains everything a person would want to know about the company and the services offered at the home. The home meets with prospective people in their own home or placement to conducts a assessment of need. Those who are funded are also assessed by Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 the Local Authority. Assessments looked at were of an appropriate standard and enabled the home to make decisions about suitability of the home to meet the personas need and assist in the development of initial care plans to ensure support was planned for from the first day. One person had an extensive moving in programme which they designed themselves to suit their own needs. This enabled them to take control of the moving process and settle into the home at their own pace. The person stated that though it was hard to leave their old home, everything was done to help them settle. They were able to visit and stay for as many times as they liked before moving in. Continuing they said that the home had found out their favourite colour and decorated the room as a surprise. This touched the person deeply and helped them feel cared for from the bringing. Unfortunately the home did not record this excellent process. Such practice would enable the home to formally monitor the person from the very start and the information gathered would help towards the formulation of the initial care plan and assist staff further in understanding the person. Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service have their health care needs recognised and met. EVIDENCE: All people who use the service have written care plans in place which were based on assessments of needs. People are consulted about how they would like their care needs met and are able to state when they want care support. Care plans looked at were detailed, they contained information on ,care needs, personal information, photos, personal profile and the life history of the individual. In addition, health care issues were recorded as was the assistance required. Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Personal histories of the individual included childhood, working life, family life, activities and hobbies. Such information assist staff to capture the essence of the person as a whole person and not someone who just requires assistance. Care files also identified personal preferences for bathing routines and oral health care. Key working information confirmed that people who use the service were offered a choice of where they wanted their care plan to be stored. One person confirmed that they had seen their information and had signed to say they agreed with the care plan. All comments received from people who use the service and their relatives confirmed they were satisfied with the medical support provided at the home. One relative commented that ‘the home does general and personal care well.’ Medication administration procedures were observed. The person administering medicines was sensitive to individual needs, taking her time explaining to some what their medication was for and ensuring they had a drink with their medication. Medication was administered during a meal time, the timing of this practice interrupted people who were dining and one person leaving the table was asked to wait until medication was administered. Throughout the administration process the administrator was observed to handle medication. There were no hand washing procedures observed and protective gloves were not worn. Such practice increases the risk of cross infection and contamination of the medication. Throughout the inspection people who use the service spoke positively about the manner in which they were cared for and of the support they were given, however comment cards returned indicated that some felt practice could be improved for those who chose to remain in their room or those which are less mobile. One person stated ‘buzzers take a while to be answered especially at meal times . This can be an issue when you need the toilet.’ Another said ‘Some service users cannot use the buzzer, I am not sure they are always checked enough to see if they want toilet or more drinks.’ One relative indicated that as staff are busy at meal times assisting others, leaving some people who use the service left to long when they need the toilet and have had ‘ accidents’. They stated ‘this is not nice or dignified.’ Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.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. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service are supported to continue to make their own decisions and choices about their daily routine and lifestyles. EVIDENCE: Throughout the inspection people who use the service were observed to be chatting and laughing with each other, staff and visitors. They appeared to know each other well with good friendships evident. People who use the service continue to direct their own lives and have control over their daily routines. They were observed coming and going from the home as they desired with a number travelling independently into the community to meet friends, visit hairdressers and or undertake shopping for themselves. Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The home employs an activities co-ordinator who is dedicated to ensuring that people who use the service receive stimulating activities which they enjoy. One person who uses the service explained that the home had a notice board which displayed ‘all the comings and goings on’ They confirmed that activities were provided every day and that there was always ‘something to do if one wanted.’ On the day of the inspection visit an external entertainer was visiting the home and arrangements were in place to celebrate someone’s birthday. Care files confirmed that people who use the service are consulted about their preferred activities. Records maintained that people who did not wish to join in group activities received one to one time each week. One person invited the inspector to visit their room which had been arranged in an individualised manner to fit computer equipment and support their hobby. The home’s menu is extensive and caters for everyone’s needs and preferences. There are multiple choices of vegetarian and soft diets offered each day along side a variety of main meals on offer. Diabetic items are discreetly coded so service users know which food are suitable to them and which food poses a risk. People who use the service are also offered a ‘specials’ and ‘snacks’ menu which offers snacks throughout the day and evening. One person informed the inspector that ‘meals were very good’ and a comment card recorded ‘ on the whole I like all the meals. I am a fussy eater and am always given an alternative’. The home provides a dining room assistant in the mornings, she was familiar with all the service users and took time to chat with each one whilst obtaining their morning food options. However tea was automatically served to all service users, even though it was evident that some retained the ability to pour drinks for themselves. Likewise, cereals automatically had milk added and or sugar by the assistant when the person themselves could complete such takes. Such practice reduces peoples independence. At lunch time care staff provided one to one support to those who required assistance. Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18.

Lounges and dining rooms were pleasant areas offering people who use the service comfort and safety when relaxing. Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 The inspector was invited to look at a number of bedrooms. All viewed were nicely looked after. Each one was individual in colour and layout. People spoken with were proud of their own living areas and regarded them as their ‘quiet place’ One person spoken with had purchased their own phone and along with others had brought some furniture from home. One person also confirmed that the home had provided them with a television set, however it was their intention to buy their own in the near future. Another person had their room laid out in a individual and unusual manner, they stated this enabled them to maintain their hobbies and interests. The person confirmed that the home had offered them a larger room which they declined preferring the smaller room. Communal toilets and bathroom did not reflect the homeliness shared in other parts of the home. The visitor’s kitchen facilities had lots of other items stored in there and the visitors toilets appeared shabby. People who use the service spoke fondly of the ancillary support, stating they would do anything if requested. Throughout the inspection visit all parts of the home were observed to be clean and free from odours. All rooms have call points to enable people who use the service to summon assistance when required. Hand rails and hoist were in place and for those they required individual equipment, medical professional services supported the home to provided individualised equipment. Throughout the first part of the inspection visit, many internal fire safety doors were observed to be wedged open. Staff appeared familiar with this practice and unconcerned. The manager stated they had been trained to remove all wedges in the event of a fire emergency. The registered manager stated that the home was planning to fix electronic closures to main doors but not bedroom doors and she would contact the fire officer and discuss what can be done if service users insist on having their bedroom doors open.

Although there appeared to be sufficinet staff on duty there were comments from people who use the service which indicated that the deployment at busy times should be looked at. One comment card stated that ‘Sometimes staff rush a bit when they are helping you.’ Another stated ‘To improve, I think they (staff) should spend more time with people, sit and chat with them and keep them company.

Staff are trained with 56 of staff having achieved training at NVQ level 2 or above. Furthermore the home employs ten registered nurses. Kemp Lodge DS0000017245.V334400.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38.

Records are made where the home manages small balances for people at the home. The home takes responsibility for managing one persons finances, they have been provided with a high interest savings account and finances are managed in their best interest. Regulation 26 visits which form part of the homes quality monitoring process are undertaken each month as required. However the details contained within the report are not sufficient.
