The AQAA states that the home has policies and procedures to promote equality and diversity and all staff have received training, to increase their knowledge and awareness of these issues. The final report takes into account detailed information provided by the registered provider, Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA), returned surveys (next of kin, medical professionals, care manger and any other interested representatives of the residents) in addition any information that the CSCI has received about the service since the last inspection will also be used to complete this report.

Standards 24 and 30 were assessed during this visit. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The physical environment of the home matched the needs of the residents and in accordance with the statement of purpose. Attention was required to general maintenance of the décor in some areas and furnishings and to odour control. EVIDENCE: Generally the home is clean and meets the needs of the residents, there is a need for the home to develop a rolling plan if decoration and maintaince in order to improve and maintain the environment. The communal areas, two sitting rooms and the kitchen of this home are of a reasonable size. The seating in the dining and sitting rooms are appropriate for the resident’s. However the continuing use of one of the sitting rooms as a smoking room for two of the residents requires the management of the home to review the ventilation of the ground floor.
Kenilworth (Banstead) DS0000013690.V355048.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The kitchen is light; airy, clean and relatively well maintained the exception was a large burn mark on the work surface next to the hob where a hot item had been set down. The responsible individual has developed a plan for the deep cleaning and redececoration of the home. The inspector was informed that this would include the cleaning of all carpets to remove heavy stains, which will then be followed by the redecoration of a major proportion of the home. The inspector was informed that all internal cleaning and decorations would be completed by the end of February 2008. The day-to-day cleaning of individual residents bedrooms is the responsibility of the person occupying the room the staff encourage them to undertake this task without assistance. However the staff will intervene and work with the individual residents if their rooms become untidy or if the develop a strong odour as they were on the day of the visit. The inspector was informed that the staff will offer to assist in the process of cleaning, but at the same time they are very conscience of the residents rights to privacy and dignity so therefore they do not go in without an agreement from the individual.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is adequate. Standards 32, 34, 35 and 36 were assessed during this visit. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The resident’s benefit from a competent and stable staff group. The home has a recruitment policy unfortunately it is not followed. Some staff training is undertaken. Staff supervision does not appear to be offered. EVIDENCE: The residents are supported to a very high degree by a group of people who have been with the home for some considerable time. There is evidence that the staff team and the residents work well as a team and the home benefits as a whole from this stability. The inspector audited all staff files and found that there were considerable gaps in every area of the files. The home had failed to meet a requirement to ensure that all staff files contain all relevant information set out in Schedule 2 of the Care Homes Regulations act 2001 please refer to page 23 of this report. In addition staff have not received appropriate supervision again in direct contravention of the Care Homes Regulations act 2001 and was also subject to
Kenilworth (Banstead) DS0000013690.V355048.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 a requirement from the previous report dated 17/08/2006 please refer to page 24 of this report. Therefore these requirement still stand and new dates for the home to comply have been set. The registered manager and responsible individual must understand that a failure to comply with these may result in CSCI seeking legal advice, if these continue to remain unmet. Kenilworth (Banstead) DS0000013690.V355048.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is adequate. Standards 37, 39, 41 and 42 were assessed during this visit. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents benefit from the management of the home, which is based upon openness, respect, dignity stability and for its service objectives. The lack of self-auditing and a failure to comply with previous requirements has had a detrimental effect on overall management of the home. EVIDENCE: The responsible individual informed the inspector “Kenilworth is a home that is dedicated to ensuring that the people who live there receive a service, which is totally user focussed”. There is good documented evidence of teamwork between staff and residents working together and making this service a home. Kenilworth (Banstead) DS0000013690.V355048.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The friendly family atmosphere, which exists at the home, allows the residents to feel “secure and part of a family”. The dignity and respect shown towards the residents was well documented and demonstrated during the site visit especially in the way the residents have the ability to make their own decisions. The inspector was informed that residents right are “core to the service”, however if the choices they may make could have possible detrimental effect on them or the home the manager and staff will work with the individual to achieve a more effective outcome. The home has not undertaken any form of self-monitoring. The responsible individual has developed a procedure in a resident focused format to undertake an audit of the home and the service it provides but this has still not been undertaken. This is the second time the home has failed to complete the selfmonitoring process, they were required to do by the previous inspection report dated 17/08/2006. However the residents have a good network of family, friends, care professionals and work colleagues that they are more than willing to go to if they felt a need to discuss the home or a problem they may be having with someone or some aspect of the home. As was previously sated on pages 19 & 20 of this report the record keeping and the implementation of policies and procedures especially in respect of staffing and recruitment have not been put into practices. It is essential that the registered provider ensure that all the residents a fully protected by the implementation and the continual use of appropriate record keeping and management. The inspector was informed that the health and safety of the residents is seen as a high priority for the home. The manager conducts regular check throughout the home to ensure that the residents and staff work and live in a safe environment. The responsible individual unfortunately could not locate this information during this site visit and therefore a requirement has been.
