What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The home is run for the benefit of its service users and provides care and support in a pleasant environment. There is a homely atmosphere and the home is well maintained and decoration is of a good standard. Service users said that they were always treated with dignity and respect and nothing was too much trouble for the staff and they also stated that they are able to make their own decisions on how to spend their time. Care is provided flexibly and there is good interaction between service users and the staff, who are friendly and caring. Comments from service users included "The staff are wonderful" "the food is very good" "I have lived here for 18 months and I have never heard anyone complain". Staff stated that they enjoyed working at the home and that they were provided with regular training and updates in order for them to do their job effectively.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The service user guide has been updated to provide service users with the information they require about the terms and conditions of the home and all of the staff at the home have completed training with regard to adult protection. The home has introduced a new induction programme for new staff and some areas of the home have been re-decorated.

What the care home could do better:

The home needs to improve the information in service users contracts, as these do not give details of the room to be occupied, although the home has one fee for all rooms at the home, both double and single. The inspector discussed the current needs assessments for potential new service users to the home and the procedure needs to be improved so that the home has theinformation that is needed to ensure that the assessed needs of service users can be met before they move into the home. This has an impact on the care plans at the home and these must be further developed, especially with regard to the daily recording to give clear evidence that any identified actions are undertaken and outcomes are recorded. Medication is delivered to the home weekly by the pharmacy, however there is no record of receipt of medication recorded by the home and the home must ensure that any medication received into the home is clearly recorded, this will allow for a clear audit trail to be established. Also medication administration record sheets must clearly show the amount of medication issued to each individual service user. The home does not normally use agency staff to cover staff sickness or holidays, however if agency staff are used the home needs to ensure that any staff sent to the home have had appropriate recruitment checks carried out. Health and safety issues were discussed and the home needs to obtain an in date certificate for the homes gas appliances. The home is still using the old style accident book for recording accidents at the home and this should be replaced with the new style that allows for pages to be removed and stored in individual files, this provides confidentiality of information.

It was also possible to speak with 8 service users, 3 members of staff and 1 visiting GP. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: The home needs to improve the information in service users contracts, as these do not give details of the room to be occupied, although the home has one fee for all rooms at the home, both double and single. The inspector discussed the current needs assessments for potential new service users to the home and the procedure needs to be improved so that the home has the Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 6 information that is needed to ensure that the assessed needs of service users can be met before they move into the home.

Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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 Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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 & 6 Quality in this outcome area is “adequate”. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where they wish to live and each service user has a written contract, however contracts do not provide clear information on the room to be occupied, which may be detrimental to service users. No service users move into the home without having their needs assessed, however the assessments on file did not always provide all the information that would be required to ensure that all needs could be met in every case and this could be detrimental for service users. The home does not provide intermediate care. EVIDENCE: All service users and relatives are issued with a copy of the homes statement of purpose and the terms and conditions of the home. The inspector viewed contracts for privately funded service users and also for those service users who were funded by the local authority. These contracts did not give details of the room to be occupied, although the home has one fee for all rooms at the Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 home both double and single. Contracts gave details of the fees payable and by whom and detailed the rights and obligations of the service user and the provider if there was a breach of contract. Contracts at the home must give clear information on the room to be occupied. Needs assessments were looked at for 3 service users and these did not always contain sufficient information. Assessments viewed only had general information and did not contain information on specific health needs. Some service users had social service assessments, while other social service clients did not have any assessment. The issue was discussed with the homes manager and she stated that she did not always receive assessments from the local authority before service users moved into the home. The manager at the home must further develop the needs assessment procedure so that the home has the information that is needed to ensure that the assessed needs of service users can be met before they move into the home Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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 & 10 Quality in this outcome area is “adequate”. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The health, personal and social care needs of service users are set out in an individual plan of care however these need to be further developed, especially on how recording takes place, as currently there is not sufficient information and this is detrimental to service users. Service users are able to keep their own GP if possible and have access to all relevant health care professionals and the health care needs of service users are generally met. The storage and administration of medication was generally satisfactory however medication procedures at the home require some improvement to ensure that service users are fully protected. Service users at the home are treated with dignity and respect. EVIDENCE: Care plans were seen for 3 service users and these individual plans gave information for staff on the care needs of individuals and there was evidence that some risk assessments had been carried out and one care plan contained consent for the use of bed rails. However the recording of daily notes and Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 monthly reviews do not provide written evidence that care has been delivered effectively therefore it was not clear if care needs were always met. Daily notes for one service user indicated that the service users was feeling unwell, the next entry on the recording notes was 3 weeks later and this did not provide clear information as to how long it was before the service user was feeling better. It is a requirement that care plans must be further developed to give clear evidence that any identified actions are undertaken and outcomes are recorded. Service users at the home are registered with 2 local GP surgeries and also the local health centre, although they may have different GP’s. Service users may keep their own GP if they wish. The health centre provides dental treatment and home visits can be arranged. A visiting optician provides eye care and the home has a visiting chiropodist who calls once per month, some service users at the home have foot care provided by the local health centre via GP referrals. The home uses a monitored dose system from a local chemist and the home has a policy and procedure for administering medication. Medication is delivered to the home weekly by the pharmacy, however there is no record of receipt of medication recorded by the home and a requirement was made for the home to ensure that any medication received into the home is clearly recorded. This will allow for a clear audit trail to be established. Medication administration record sheets do not always clearly show the amount of medication issued as recording sheets for 2 service users indicated that one or two tablets should be administered, therefore a further requirement was made for the home to clearly record the actual amount of medication administered. The inspector looked at the medication cabinet and a sample of stocks was checked against records and found to be correct. Controlled drugs were stored appropriately and clear records are kept. Service users spoken to were very positive about the care received at the home. All service users said that staff were very caring, helpful, and friendly and stated that they were always treated with dignity and respect. Observations made by the inspector confirmed that service users and staff get on well together. Staff were observed interacting with service users and were seen to treat service users with dignity and respect. Staff knocked on service users doors before entering and used service users preferred form of address when talking to them. Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 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 & 15 Quality in this outcome area is “good”. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The home provides a range of activities for service users, which meets their expectations and the religious and recreational interests of service users at the home are provided for. Service users are able to maintain contact with family and friends and visitors are welcome at any time. Service users are supported to exercise choice and control over their lives and are provided with a wholesome and balanced diet in pleasant surroundings at a time convenient to them. EVIDENCE: Activities at the home include bingo, games with the staff, skittles, musical movement, video’s, gardening, trips out and visiting entertainers. On the day of the inspection there was an entertainer playing at the home and service users were observed singing along and enjoying the activity. The home does not have a dedicated activities co-ordinator but staff at the home stated that they enjoy organising activities for service users. Service users spoken to were happy with the activities provided, some stated that they preferred watching TV whilst others were happy relaxing and watching what was going on, some service users preferred to stay in their rooms. Service users Kiln Lodge DS0000012314.V293618.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 interests are documented and there are no restrictions on bathing, getting up or going to bed. The home has a visiting policy and there are no restrictions on visitors and the visitor’s book at the home showed that there is a regular stream of visitors to the home. Service users spoken to were able to confirm that they are able to make informed choices on what they wished to do and were able to control their own lives. The manager stated that a local vicar visits the home once per month and that service users could choose to attend if they wish. The inspector was informed that service users were consulted regularly and that staff at the home respected their views and that if they wanted anything all they had to do was ask. A number of service users had bought some of their own possessions into the home and rooms had been personalised. All service users spoken to were happy with the food provided by the home and stated that the food was plentiful and good. The home operates a four week rolling menu and service users are offered a choice at meal times and are able to eat their meals in the dining room, their own rooms or elsewhere if they prefer.

Staff at the home are appropriately supervised and the health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are generally promoted and protected, however the gas safety certificate at the home is out of date and this puts service users at risk. Also accidents at the home are not recorded in a new style accident book and this does not provide effective confidentiality of information.
