What the care home does well

Kingsley house strives to provides its residents with a homely environment where they can receive support and assistance to deal with the stress and strains of everyday life that could affect their mental health and general well being. Comprehensive assessments and advice and guidance from other professional bodies is sought prior to agreeing any new admissions. Risk assessments are well documented and residents confirmed that they are involved in the planning of suitable management plans which enable them to undertake risk incurred in promoting / maintaining their desires for independence.

This information helps prospective resident’s, their families or representatives make informed decision regarding the suitable of the home and the staff in meeting their needs appropriately. A copy of the service users guide is displayed upon the service users notice board for future reference for residents living within the home. No new residents have been admitted to the home since the previous inspection. However examination of three resident’s files confirmed that it was standard practice to for the home and other professionals to fully assess needs prior to admission taking place.

Records relating to the reviewing of care plans and risk assessments indicated that a number of these have not been complete on or around dates previously set. It’s important that arrangements are made to ensure such plans are reviewed at regular intervals as this provides an opportunity for residents and staff to reflect upon the effects of the support and assistance given, whilst considering any other new needs or aspirations that may need to be addressed. Residents files where stored within the main office, which is locked when not in use, protecting the residents rights in relation to the handling of their confidential information.

The home provides the residents with a dartboard, pool table, playing cards, digital TV, a music centre and a computer. The inspector was told by residents that there are occasions when outside entertainer is supplied to enhance Kingsley House DS0000018906.V284336.R02.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 parties and events within the home.

Records confirmed that residents, their representative and other healthcare professionals are consulted, to ensure their personal and healthcare needs are met correctly. Residents within Kingsley house are presently able to attend to most aspects of their own personal care independently although on occasions it appears that prompting / advice and guidance is required to ensure a decline in a residents physical appearance is not linked to a decline in their mental health. It was noted that further medication storage facilities have been supplied within the home and that staff members have taken on board requirements Kingsley House DS0000018906.V284336.R02.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 made during the last inspection.

The inspector was able to confirm that polices and procedures are in place to guide staff in their approach to the changing needs and events that can occur due to ageing, illness and death of residents in their care.

Records seen confirm that issues and concerns raised with the home in the past had been appropriately recorded. Observations of interactions between residents and staff members indicate that residents feel confident raising and expressing any dissatisfaction encountered. The inspector asked a number of residents if they had or had ever had any complaints regarding the home and was told. “we tend to sort things out quickly here, so things don’t really get to the point that we’d have to make a complaint” “The staff are always asking and telling us about things that are happening in the home so that we can work things out together, and that reduces any stress” The home also had a copy of “Protecting Vulnerable Adults in Wirral” staff members confirmed they have received relevant information and guidance regarding dealing with allegations of abuse etc. The inspector was told that recent training had been given in relation to the home whistle blowing policy.

The majority of the residents in the home are smokers and although there is a small no smoking lounge and a policy of no smoking within bedrooms it was noted that the odour and presences of smoke coming from the main lounge can at times be very heavy.
