What the care home does well

Kings Lodge is a good service, which meets the need of the group of residents currently living in the home. Residents are encouraged to gain more independence and access the community regularly.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home complied with twenty of the twenty-four requirements made during the previous inspection; this is a major achievement by the staff and registered manager. The home has a much more homely feel and staff recruitment has improved and standards are now met.

What the care home could do better:

The inspector assessed 75% of the National Minimum Standards and it is therefore expected of having a large number of requirements during this announced inspection. The inspector noted a lack of structured annual development and regular quality assurance visits. Staff training needs must be assessed annually and the Commission for Social Care Inspection must be informed of this. The home must ensure that all staff receive appropriate training around Protection of Vulnerable Adults and ageing.The complaints policy must be up dated to receive full compliance with National Minimum Standards.

Kings Lodge DS0000017459.V266353.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 The ground floor toilet is judged as being very small and has a step, which could lead for residents to trip or fall. Previous inspections did require reconsidering the layout of the toilet, which remains still to be outstanding. The home has purchased an electrical hoist, which must be serviced every six months. The home was clean during this inspection; the inspector noted however strong urine smell on the ground floor toilet and bathroom, which must be resolved. In addition to this paper towel dispensers were out of paper, this was raised with the manager. The home has detailed Hygiene and Health and Safety policies in place. Kings Lodge DS0000017459.V266353.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

Appropriate recruitment practices protect residents from unsuitable staff. Staff receive support and supervision from the manager, there is however a need to improve this practice. EVIDENCE: The inspector viewed individual job descriptions made available to him, the job descriptions were judged of being appropriate and define clearly roles and responsibilities of each post. The home is providing the General Social Care Councils Code of Conduct as part of the induction. Residents informed the inspector of having good relationships with staff and demonstrated knowledge of their roles and responsibilities. The majority of staff employed by the home are qualified nurses who are currently in the adaptation process to receive their UKCC registration. The manager informed the inspector that two staff would start their NVQ Level 2 in Care this year. The inspector judges the skill mix appropriately. The majority of staff employed originates from the Indian sub continent, this does not fully represent the ethnic background of the residents and the registered manager should consider this when recruiting staff in the future. All staff employed by the home is older than 18. The inspector assessed the homes rota and current staffing levels are appropriate to meet service users needs. The inspector noted however that the registered manager must record the hours he is actually available on the Kings Lodge DS0000017459.V266353.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 homes rota. Previous inspection raised the concerns of lack in recruitment checks, this has been addressed and all staffing files viewed by the inspector are compliant with National Minimum Standards. Staff informed the inspector of having received compulsory training such as food hygiene, manual handling, first aid, etc. This was clearly recorded in the homes training files and certificates were available for inspection. The inspector however informed the manager that there is a lack of forward planning regarding staff training and an annual training development is required for all staff. All staff has received a detailed induction and records of these are available in individual staffing files. Records confirmed that staff has received formal one to one supervisions, the inspector however noted that these records are very recent and there was no clear evidence if staff are supervised regularly. Staff the inspector has spoken to told the inspector having received one supervision recently confirmed this. The inspector informed the manager that he must ensure that all staff receives regular supervisions. The staff team employed by the home is very new and therefore did not receive any annual appraisals. Kings Lodge DS0000017459.V266353.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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; 40; 41; 42 Resident’s benefit from an experienced manager. Residents are consulted about the home and care they receive, but more work is needed to achieve full compliance. Policies and procedures safeguard service users rights. Resident’s confidentiality is protected by appropriate storage of records. Residents’ safety and welfare is not compromised and service users are protected appropriately. EVIDENCE: The registered manager Mr Balendran has RMA qualifications and is currently attending a care manager course at the Open University. In addition to this the manager has over 15 years of practical experience in care. The registered manager informed the inspector that he is receiving regular supervisions and feels supported by his Line Manger. Staff told the inspector that they receive appropriate help and support from Mr Balendran. Residents have the opportunity to attend regular residents meetings and informed the inspector that the registered manager and staff do listen to their Kings Lodge DS0000017459.V266353.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 opinion. The home has however now structured processes to capture residents, staffs and outside professionals’ opinion about the home and care in place. The home equally does not have an annual development plan in place; this is required. In addition to this the home must be visited by the proprietor monthly and records of this report must be send to the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The home recently purchased a set of policies, which are written in plain English making them more accessible to residents. In addition to this the old policy and procedure file is still available and used. The inspector informed the manager that he must amalgamate both folders and create one clear set of policies and procedures. The home has a record keeping policy in place and records are securely stored in the homes lockable office. Previous requirements regarding Health and Safety and fire safety have been addressed, with the exception that the inspector still found fire doors wedged open. The inspector informed the registered manager that this must be addressed and alternative options explored.
