This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection took place over 8 hours. It was an unannounced visit and was carried out as part of the regulatory requirement for care homes to be inspected at least twice a year. A visit was conducted earlier this year to follow up requirements from the previous inspection in December 2004. During this visit a partial tour of the home was conducted. Care, staff and other nursing home records were inspected. The inspector met with the manager, a registered nurse, 2 staff, 5 residents and 2 relatives. Comment cards were left for residents and relatives to complete regarding the service and facilities provided at the home. The inspection was very positive and the home have done well in meeting the requirements from the last inspection. The home is settling down under the new manager’s guidance and leadership and staff were seen working as an enthusiastic and committed team. What the service does well:
Kingsley provides a warm welcoming atmosphere for residents and relatives. The home has a friendly feel to it and staff ensure the residents receive a good standard of care. A resident said, “the staff are just lovely, they are busy but have time for a chat.” The manager conducts the initial assessment with the resident and family member. The assessment process is detailed to ensure residents are correctly placed at the home. A resident who has recently arrived said he was settling in well and staff were supportive. Residents have an individual plan of care, which includes key areas, for example, mobility, washing and dressing, nutrition and skin condition. Specific health needs are also monitored by staff and recorded in detail in the plan of care. Residents commented on the respectful attitude of staff and stated that assistance with personal care was given in an unhurried manner. Communication between residents ands staff was seen to be good and staff were on hand to help residents where needed. The staffing level in the home is consistent with no use of agency cover. Staff receive regular supervision.
Kingsley Nursing Home F53 F03 S44817 Kingsley NH V226641 260705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 6 The owners provide very good written reports on the home and these are forwarded to the Commission on a monthly basis. Residents have recently completed satisfaction questionnaires and comments received have generally been favourable regarding the service and facilities in the home. Mrs Evans has spent time with residents discussing suggestions and ideas. What has improved since the last inspection?
As previously stated the home has worked hard to comply with the requirements from the last inspection. This was good to see and residents and staff spoke enthusiastically about the recent changes made. Residents feel the home is well managed. Residents are admitted to the home following a full assessment and the assessment process now covers specific needs relating to nursing care and medical conditions. All residents have a plan of care, which is reviewed on a regular basis to ensure the information is kept up to date. The resident’s agreement to their plan of care is also being sought and recorded. Quantities of medicines received in the building are now recorded and staff signatures were evident for medicines administered. The home has a policy for residents who wish to self medicate. The home has a policy regarding residents’ monies and financial affairs and precludes staff involvement in the making of or benefiting from residents’ wills. A plan for decoration of the home was available and rooms are being decorated when vacated. Height adjustable beds are being purchased and residents are asked whether they would like a lockable facility for the safe keeping of their money and valuables. These are provided on request. When recruiting staff, job application forms are completed regarding past employment and 2 references are sought before commencing work. Staff are also now asked to complete a health declaration form as part of the recruitment process. New staff receive induction during the first six weeks of employment and manual handling and fire prevention training has been given. Staff receive formal supervision on a regular basis. General records and care records viewed were up to date and well maintained. This included fire prevention records. The fire service conducted a visit to the home earlier this year for general advice and doors were checked to ensure they shut to their rebate.

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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Kingsley Nursing Home F53 F03 S44817 Kingsley NH V226641 260705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 3 There was a good standard of assessments enabling the home to be sure of meeting residents’ care needs. EVIDENCE: Individual records are kept for each resident and the manager completes the assessment documentation prior to admission. Several resident assessments were seen and these included an assessment that had been completed with the assistance of hospital staff as the resident was unable to provide the necessary information. Care management assessments from social services were also on file as well as evidence of the home’s own assessment format. Details of individual needs were transferred over to care plans in all cases. The manager is looking to change the assessment documentation over the next few months to ensure more detail is recorded for ‘the reason for admission’. This will further assist when drawing up the plan of care. A relative stated that the admission procedure to the home had been organised and staff were providing a good level of care and support to the family.
Kingsley Nursing Home F53 F03 S44817 Kingsley NH V226641 260705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 standard(s) 7,8,9 and 10 It was clear that that the health, personal and social care needs of residents were understood and set out in an individual plan of care. Medication practice was according to the home’s policy and procedure. Care was provided sensitively, residents were treated with respect to maintain their privacy and dignity. EVIDENCE: Individual plans of care were available and improvements have been made to ensure that all aspects of health, personal and social care needs are identified and planned for. Care plans viewed evidenced key areas, for example, family involvement, diet, mobility, skin care and personal hygiene. Staff interviewed demonstrated a good understanding of these needs and described the care they were giving. Care plans viewed were detailed, easy to read and had been reviewed monthly to ensure they were accurate and up to date. A number of care files evidenced agreement by the resident and/or relative to their plan of care. A resident interviewed spoke positively about the nice nature of the staff when being helped with washing and dressing. Supporting care documentation

Residents are weighed and nutritional assessments completed. Wound care is recorded and wound care charts include diagrams of the affected site. Records viewed indicated advice from the Tissue Viability Nurse regarding wound care management. Residents confirmed that they are referred for hospital appointments and can see their own GP at any time. A GP was visiting at the time of the inspection and staff acted promptly arranging admission for a resident to hospital. A staff member accompanied the resident. Another resident is attending hospital as an outpatient and care records evidenced the treatment given. A resident who underwent eye surgery was having her care plan updated to ensure staff were aware of her postoperative care and follow up appointment. Residents receive their medication from blister packs. A number of medicine sheets were reviewed these evidenced staff signatures following administration. Residents are able to self medicate if they wish and sign a disclaimer for this purpose. This was discussed in relation to eye drops and the home should regularly risk assess this practice with the resident and incorporate the information in the care plan. Residents were complimentary regarding the polite and helpful attitude of staff. Comments included, “the staff are very nice” and “the staff have time to talk with me and take their time when they are with me.” Residents’ preferred name is recorded in their plan of care and residents were smartly dressed. Staff were observed to knock on bedroom doors before entering and also offering residents assistance with their lunch in an unhurried manner. Residents thought the key worker system involving named care staff was a good idea. Staff also confirmed that they are enjoying this role as they are getting to know the residents better.

Visitors were seen popping in and meeting residents in the lounge and in their bedrooms. A relative said, “the staff never mind what time we come in.” Residents interviewed discussed their daily routine and how staff accommodate their time of getting up or retiring at night. A resident said, “the staff ask what time I want to go to bed and there is never a problem if I want to stay up late”. Several residents have the use of a small fridge in their room also a toaster and kettle, which they requested. Some residents prefer not to come to the lounge or dining room and staff respect their wish. The home is developing more activities and social interests for the residents, flower arranging is still popular for the ladies and the home has a good supply
Kingsley Nursing Home F53 F03 S44817 Kingsley NH V226641 260705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 of ‘old’ films and music. A make up demonstration and head massage is planned later this month.

The lounge and dining room/conservatory have been redecorated and bedrooms are receiving the same treatment when vacated.” This programme should continue, as there are some rooms that still require attention and many pieces of furniture are old and should be replaced over a period of time. The environment will be inspected in full at the next inspection. The home’s handyman carries out general maintenance and the repair of a dressing table was brought to the manager’s attention. Bathrooms are domestic in style and will in time need some work as bathrooms suites are old and working space is limited. Staff confirmed that the bathrooms are difficult to work in. A resident commented on the home having a nice ‘homely’ feel to it and being generally pleased with
