Page 6 of 31 We visited Kingsley Nursing Home to enable us to look at records and to discuss how the home supports service users in all aspects of their lives. Part of this process involved speaking with the manager, members of the staff team and spending time with service users to find out their views on living at the home. We spent approximately seven hours at Kingsley Nursing Home. What the care home does well: What has improved since the last inspection?

Opened up fireplace in the lounge. New larger wall mounted TV in the lounge. The manager and the owner continue to support the staff team to undertake training to enable them to offer service users appropriate and safe support resulting in positive outcomes. Members of the staff team spoken with and comments made in returned surveys provided the following information: The home is very good at giving people choice and maintaining their independence. The service provides a high level of care to all service users and caters to all service users needs. As I have worked in the same place for over 10 years I think that speaks for itself. The care given to the residents is to a high standard and they look happy. Barbara is very supportive and fair. We support and try and meet all the needs of our residents. They give very good training for new employees. They treat residents as individuals they dont generalise them. We get on well as a team What they could do better: We looked at a number of risk assessments and discussed with the manager the need to review them more frequently and to clearly document information received or sought from other healthcare professionals. This is to ensure service users healthcare needs are being fully met in a proactive manner. We discussed the information currently recorded when a risk assessment has identified that bedrails are needed to maintain a service users safety. We advised the manager to keep detailed records as to how often the bedrails and bumpers are checked to ensure they are in the correct position to safeguard service users from injury. The manager told us she would ensure detailed records are kept including attempts made to contact specialist services for advice and support. All members of the staff team have received safeguarding adults training.

These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Prospective service users can be confident the home can meet their identified care needs and personal aspirations in a safe and supportive environment. Evidence: The statement of purpose and service user guide provides basic information about the services and facilities available. We discussed with the manager the need to review the formats used in these documents to ensure they are easily understood and are in formats that are meaningful to service users and people who may wish to move into Kingsley Nursing Home. Before a person moves in to the home the manager or one of her deputies make arrangements to carry out a full assessment of the persons needs and lifestyle choices. The assessment process involves talking and spending time with the person who wishes to move into the home and talking to their relatives and other
Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 31 Evidence: professionals involved in their care. Admissions to the home only take place if the manager or deputies are confident they can meet the prospective service users identified needs. This approach ensures service users can be confident they are moving into a home that can meet their medical, physical, emotional and psychological needs. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 31 Health and personal care
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Service users personal and health care needs are met by a staff team who are skilled, respectful and sensitive to their needs. This results in them receiving a person centred service which respects and promotes their individual needs and wishes. Evidence: Service users receive personal and health care support using a person centred approach with support provided being based upon the rights of service users to be treated with dignity, equality and respect. This ensures service users receive individualised care and support based on their needs and lifestyle choices. Care plans provide information regarding service users health, social, emotional and psychological needs. We discussed with the manager the need to increase the information held about service users past life experiences, which will support the staff team to get to know them in a more individualised and personal way. Care plans are regularly reviewed to ensure the care support provided meets the changing needs and wishes of service users. Enabling service users to have confidence that the home can
Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 31 Evidence: continue to meet their needs in a sensitive and professional manner. The manager was advised to review the way in which the staff team record information following visits from other healthcare professionals. This is to ensure there is clear guidance and information for the staff team to follow resulting in service users receiving consistent and safe care. Service users spoken with provided the following information: I only need to ask for help and the girls are there. The girls are very good and help me when I need it. Records show the home acts proactively to ensure service users are supported to access health care services when required including GP, hospital appointments, podiatry, tissue viability services and optical services. Service users spoken with during our visit confirmed this information. We looked at a number of risk assessments and discussed with the manager the need to review them more frequently and to clearly document information received or sought from other healthcare professionals. This is to ensure service users healthcare needs are being fully met in a proactive manner. We discussed the information currently recorded when a risk assessment has identified that bedrails are needed to maintain a service users safety. We advised the manager to keep detailed records as to how often the bedrails and bumpers are checked to ensure they are in the correct position to safeguard service users from injury. The manager told us she would ensure detailed records are kept including attempts made to contact specialist services for advice and support. If I feel unwell Barbara or will ring the doctor. The home has a detailed medication policy and a procedure that is clear and easily understood for the staff team to follow. Qualified nurses administer service users medication. A sample of service users medication and the accompanying records were examined and the following issues were raised with the manager: On some Medication Administration Record sheets it was unclear when medications should be administered. The manager acknowledged this and told us she would contact the dispensing pharmacist to make sure this information was added. The use of PRN medication for one service user should be reviewed with the GP to ensure there is clear guidance for the staff team. Food supplements prescribed for individual service users should be stored separately
Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 31 Evidence: to ensure they use can be effectively monitored. Following the site visit the manager confirmed by email the above issues had been resolved. The AQAA document tells us service users have access to a public telephone in the entrance hall, however they are also supported to have a telephone line fitted in their bedrooms for easy access and privacy. Service users spoken with felt their relatives and friends are made to feel welcome when they visit. We observed members of the staff team supporting service users in a respectful and affectionate manner. Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 31 Daily life and social activities
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Service users views and wishes are sought and form the basis of social and leisure activities provided by the home. Evidence: The manager and the staff team support service users to develop friendships within the home and to maintain important personal and family relationships. Enabling service users to remain connected to their lives prior to moving into Kingsley Nursing Home. Service users are supported to continue to take part in activities they enjoyed doing prior to moving into the home and to become part of the home community through shared activities and experiences. This could be further improved by widening the variety of activities provided supporting service users to be involved in meaningful activities and to engage in decision- making regarding how they spend their days.

There are things to do if you want to sometime I join in other times I like to be on my own. There is no formal dining room with service users supported to eat their meals in their rooms or the lounge and conservatory if they wish. The lack of space reduces the ability for service users to be able to eat together as a group and to use meal times as a communal social event. The AQAA dataset completed by the manager prior to our visited raised this issue as an area they would like to improve. There are set menus with alternative meal options available for service users to view. Discussions with service users provided the following comments: They will change any food I do not like. They are happy to serve me in my room if I want If I dont want the meal on offer they will always make me something else.
