The inspection process consisted of pre-planning the inspection, reviewing the last inspection report and the reviewing of the Pre-Inspection Questionnaire and Comment Cards/Surveys distributed to service users and General Practitioners by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) along with the reviewing of significant events. Ten Comment Cards were sent out to service users, and one to a General Practitioner. The unannounced site visit commenced on the 2nd November 2006 and lasted 1 day. The focus of the inspection is based upon the outcomes for the service users. The method of inspection was ‘case tracking’. This involved identifying service users with varying levels of care needs and looking at how these are being met by the staff at Lenthall House. Four service users were selected and discussions were held with two of them and the relative of one service user to ascertain their views about the care provided. The method of case tracking included the review of service users’ individual care records, discussions with staff of various delegated responsibilities within the home and reviewing the records, training records and the minutes of service user and team meetings. A 100 of Comment Cards were received. The majority of the comments received were complimentary about the care. Comments incorporated within Service User Comment Cards included: • • • • • • • • • • I have been on two days out, one on the canal. They were very enjoyable. I am satisfied with the home. The food is excellent with a wide variety of choice. Prior to coming to Lenthall House I looked around several homes and this one was by far the best. There are always activities (Mon – Fri) but I prefer not to join in. I feel well cared for in the home. The carers are good, patient and work hard. I do no like to join in the activities, but there are daily activities if I want to. Rarely I have to wait, for a staff member after pressing my bell. Activities daily - but I only enjoy the quizzes.

Lenthall House DS0000033464.V317854.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Quality Assurance was discussed in detail with the Registered Manager, who advised that Leicestershire County Council Social Care Services, was introducing a ‘Development of Annual Quality Assurance’, which once completed would be reviewed on an annual basis. The Quality Assurance document is to focus on numerous aspects affecting the efficient running of the home and the delivery of care to service users. Topics to be included within the Quality Assurance Report will include, the audit report, line managerial reports, complaints and commendations, minutes of staff and service user meetings, premises reports, reports completed by external agencies such a Environmental Health, Fire Department and the Commission for Social Care Inspection, training audit and questionnaires to service users/families and other stakeholders such a visiting health care professionals. The report will be concluded by a summary overview and the proposals as to how the service can improve. Lenthall House had already begun the process of developing the report, which included the questionnaires already completed by carers, family and friends. The Inspector viewed the completed questionnaires, it was noted that a significant number of positive comments had been received, examples of the most recent comments include: ‘ I am very pleased with ……. care and feel fortunate having this resource on my doorstep.’ ‘Mothers care is excellent – staff are sympathetic without being patronising.’ ‘The attitude of the staff which comes down from the manager, I feel that the manager and her team really care about the residents and put their needs first.’ ‘Every need is take care of without the staff having to be asked.’ ‘This home really feels the nearest it can be to home.’ It was noted that since the last Inspection twelve months ago, two senior staff meetings, two care staff meetings and one service user meeting has taken place, it was noted that a service user meeting had been scheduled to take place in the next few days. It is essential that meetings take place with greater frequency to ensure that the needs of service users are being met, and that service users are given an opportunity to actively contribute to the running of the home, consideration needs to be given as to how the outcome of these meetings is be incorporated in the management of the home. A representative of the management team of the Local Authority, who is external to Lenthall House, visits the home on a monthly basis, representing the Responsible Individual. Lenthall House DS0000033464.V317854.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 A report is generated following each visit, the purpose of the visit being to review documents, speak with service users, staff and the management team, to view the environment and deal with any specific issues.

Care plans detail as to how service users finances are managed; in some instances this is by the service user or their family, whilst for some a Solicitor is involved. An Internal Audit Visit conducted by Leicestershire County Council which took place in October 2006, in a report made an overall comment:‘Overall we have concluded that the establishment’s financial management far exceeds the standard that we measure against.’ The Pre Inspection Questionnaire submitted prior to the CSCI prior to the site visit detailed the regular maintenance of health and safety systems within the home, including fire systems and equipment, environmental health visits, central heating systems and emergency call systems.
