What the care home does well

The home welcomes people who will use the service and their families or representatives, to visit the home and assess the facilities of the home. The manager actively seeks information from external healthcare professionals as part of the assessment where necessary, to ensure that the home is able to meet assessed needs. People moving into the home are assured that the home that they are entering will meet their needs. For example, staff are well trained and show perception and professionalism in the way they deliver care, which enables people who live at the home to feel safe and enjoy a varied and companionable way of life. Staff treat people who live at the home with respect; they share their companionship and give support sensitively. Detailed records were in place that gave nursing and care staff information that enabled them to provide the help that individuals need. Health care was promoted through the use of tools that assist with monitoring the nutritional needs of individuals when that was necessary. The home has also developed good working relationships with healthcare specialists. Daily routines in the home were flexible and people who use the service being encouraged to make choices for themselves and exercise personal autonomy as far as was reasonably possible.People who live at the home were positive about the food that the home provided and were pleased with the range of activities in which they could participate and the condition of the accommodation that they occupied. People at the home, relatives and staff had confidence in the effectiveness of the home`s manager. Systems and procedures in the home worked well including, the management of medication, dealing with complaints, staff recruitment, quality monitoring, and health and safety.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The manager completed an AQAA, which was returned to the commission prior to the inspection visit. Within that they had identified areas which they felt had improved since the last inspection in 2005. These included: Assessments and care plans changed for risk assessing bed rails now signed in agreement by person using the service and or their family. Following a pharmacy audit the registered nurses are writing individual care plans for all `as required` medication and lotions, which works in conjunction with the medication records. Individuals who are assessed as needing end of life care are referred to the community palliative team. The environment continues to be maintained with regular redecoration and purchase of new equipment such as specialist beds.

A contract is provided to prospective service users before admission enabling them to seek professional advice if they wish”. During the visit the inspector sampled four pre admission assessments and care plans. Prior to admission to the home the registered manager or her deputy undertakes a comprehensive assessment of the prospective resident. Langdale Nursing Home DS0000011503.V336119.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 This assessment is carried out where the individual is at the time of request to move to Langdale.

The relatives commented that the admission process had worked, that they had been given adequate information to assist with the decision, making process. The relatives felt that the needs could be met at the home; in some cases the relatives appreciated being part of the process as they had cared for the individual and could continue to do so.

EVIDENCE: The inspector sampled four care plans on this occasion in conjunction with a sample of medication records and other health-monitoring tools used as part of the care planning for individuals. The care plans that have been developed for the residents were seen to be a working tool, with records of daily life and regular evaluations by the key worker. The documents examined and the plans were based on the assessments the home carried out in order to identify what help individuals needed. Assessments included a range of potential risks to residents e.g. pressure sores; falls; moving and handling; malnutrition; etc. Where a pressure sore Langdale Nursing Home DS0000011503.V336119.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 assessment indicated that an individual was at risk it was noted that the corresponding plan of care for the person concerned referred to the use a pressure relieving aid. The plans examined set out clearly the actions and support staff needed to take and what specialist equipment was needed to provide the support and assistance each person required. For example where support with movement was identified instructions on numbers of staff needed, equipment and communication was seen. Examples of instructions to staff included “reassure, give time to speak as anxious, talk calmly and gently orientate”. It was seen in the care plans that physical health needs are also addressed with recent residents having moved to the home with information from health and other specialists; this information has been incorporated into the care plan at this home. It was also seen that residents have access to opticians and dentists as needed. Notes re physical health indicated that other professionals had been involved as necessary for example the tissue viability nurse and care plans clearly identified pressure area care and monitoring. In the medical plan it was noted that one individual who received regular care from a foot health professional also had ‘their feet warmed up’ due to poor circulation and lack of movement. Records indicated that care plans were reviewed regularly and as needs changed and daily notes referred to the actions taken by staff to provide the needs set out in those plans. Care plans are agreed with the person using the service where possible and their relative or representative. The home had written policies and procedures concerned with the management and administration of medication. Medication was kept in locked and secured medicine trolleys, cupboards and where required in a medical refrigerator. Controlled drugs were stored securely and appropriately.

Staff were observed speaking and assisting the residents with dignity and respect. Affection was given appropriately to those residents who sought it. It had been seen on care plans that the preferred choice of name had been recorded and staff were heard to speak to residents by the name they wished.
