Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection took place over six hours on the 10th and eight hours on the 11th May 2007. One inspector visited the home, spoke with residents, relatives, staff and the temporary manager. Records were looked at and the communal areas and six bedrooms were seen. Eighteen questionnaires were sent to residents, relatives, health professionals and social workers. Eight questionnaires have been received by the CSCI and comments from these are included in the relevant sections of this report. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Update the Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide to ensure people have information about staff and services currently provided. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 Care plans must be more person centred and include all details to ensure peoples needs are fully met. Reviews must be more person centred and include details of the person being reviewed. A review of the mealtimes should take place to ensure residents receive a good service. More activities must be available to ensure all residents have the opportunity to do be involved in something they enjoy. All complaints must be recorded and include any actions taken and the outcome. Questionnaires noted that the laundry arrangements could be improved to ensure clothing is worn by the individual rather than other people. Staff levels must be kept under review to ensure peoples needs are met. The organisation must ensure that ongoing staff issues are concluded quickly to ensure consistency of care for people. A permanent manager must be appointed to provide good leadership. The portable electrical appliances must be tested every year to ensure peoples health and safety is protected. The lift must be serviced at the required intervals to protect people from harm The fire alarm must be tested weekly for safety reasons. A copy of monthly visit carried out must be sent to the CSCI to comply with Regulations. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

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 Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1 and 3 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide provided on each floor do not give up to date information about the home. Assessments are completed prior to admission. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guides which were provided on each floor were not up to date and do not reflect the staff and services currently provided. Five people noted that they had received enough information before they moved in. One person said that their relatives chose the home for them. One questionnaire quoted ‘looking around makes it easier to decide’. Another person said ‘I’m happy at Link House’. One person said that they didn’t receive any information about routines and contact numbers which would have been useful at the time of admission.
Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Questionnaires indicated that people have a contract of residence with the home. Assessments were seen to have been completed by placing social workers and by staff prior to someone moving in. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 11 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Every person has a care plan which includes basic information needed to deliver care but it is not detailed or person centred. Health needs are monitored with some gaps in information. People who use the service have access to health care professionals who visit the home. EVIDENCE: Care plans are in place and have been reviewed monthly, except in two of the eight looked at. One care plan included lots of detail about the individuals preferences and how their care needs should be met by staff. Two care plans did not include details of the person’s religious persuasion. On one unit, staff complete regular reviews of individuals. This is a good practice, however on two reviews seen, the information was regarding a different person. This indicates that the review is a paper exercise and is not person centred. Two
Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 files directed the reader to other areas for information, this is quite confusing when the information is stored in a different place. One questionnaire indicated that they are kept informed of their relatives progress and condition and that the home usually meets their relatives needs. Three questionnaires said that the person always receives the care and support they need while four questionnaires said that they usually get the care they need. Health information is clearly recorded in case files. People are all registered with a GP who visits once a week and as necessary. The dentist, optician and chiropodist visit at regular intervals throughout the year and some people attend community facilities of their choice. Six people said their medical needs are always met and one person said their medical needs are usually met. One relative noted that the GP was supposed to visit when the person had a cold and cough although this didn’t happen. Medication is securely stored and records were up to date with three exceptions. One gap in the signing of an external cream for two people. One external medication was not applied when prescribed. One persons medication was signed, however some medication remained in the monitored dosage system. Staff reported that this was due to not receiving medication from the pharmacist on time and using medication from a packet rather than the monitored dosage system for a few days. All other medication seen was signed and up to date. The signing of medication has improved since the last inspection with regular checks carried out by senior staff. Peoples wishes regarding end of life care are noted, however some noted ‘observe religious beliefs’ which were not all clearly stated and did not include what the religious beliefs are. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Daily Life and Social Activities
The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People using the service are given the opportunity to take part in a variety of activities within the home and some in the community. The food is generally of good quality, well presented and meets people’s dietary needs, however the meal experience needs to improve to ensure peoples needs are fully met. EVIDENCE: An aromatherapist visits once a week and spends time with a few people on one floor each visit, using smells, touch and massage with individuals. One person was very positive about the aromatherapists visit and how helpful it was for them. An artist continues to attend once a week, spending time on a different unit each visit. Questionnaires noted that two people ‘always’, one person ‘usually’, two people ‘sometimes’ and one person ‘never’ has enough activities provided. One person noted that there is only a weekly art class and another person said they had been on one trip with not much else provided.
Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 People were seen to be reading the paper, talking with staff, watching their television, spending time with visitors and playing skittles during the visits. One person noted that they are not supported to maintain contact with relatives. Other visitors confirmed that they are made welcome. Visitors were seen throughout the visits. Visitors and residents confirmed that representatives from the churches of their choice visit. Comments regarding the food provided ranged from its ‘always good’ to it’s ‘sometimes good’. A mealtime was seen to be unhurried and well managed on one unit. Tables are laid with cloths, place mats, serviettes and flowers. In one unit, ten people were seen to remain in their wheelchair. One person had a serviette and four people were seen to have a ‘bib’, this practice should stop and people should be offered a serviette. This practice does not maintain peoples dignity. If people choose to wear an apron this should be recorded in their care plan. For people who take meals in their bedrooms the service was seen to be a less positive experience, with some people receiving their main course and hot dessert at the same time and one person not receiving the help they require to meet their needs as noted in their care plan. Staff must be made aware of peoples needs and mealtimes should be reviewed to ensure that all peoples’ needs are met. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A complaints procedure is in place which is available to residents and their relatives and representatives. People are aware of how to make a complaint. Records are kept but do not contain all actions taken and the outcome of the complaint. EVIDENCE: People were aware how to make a complaint and knew who they could speak with to raise concerns. One person noted that they should speak to a carer, although they had a different carer every day. One person reported that their family would deal with any concerns or complaints. No issues or concerns were raised during the visits. Seven complaints have been received since the last inspection, four were regarding care practices. The records did not clearly indicate the actions taken and the outcome of the complaints. One complaint was not recorded and one complaint was recorded in the persons file, not in the complaints record. One complaint has been received by the local social services department, which is still being investigated. The CSCI has not received any complaints since the last inspection. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The organisation takes a long time to investigate complaints and concerns involving staff and the policies followed do not always protect residents. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment
The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home provides an environment that meets the needs of people who live there. People are encouraged to personalise their bedrooms. A choice of communal areas is available in two units and people can meet with visitors in private in their bedrooms if they wish. The home is well lit, clean and tidy and generally smells fresh. EVIDENCE: The home is separated into three units with single bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room, a lounge on the ground floor and a lounge and dining room on the other two floors. People have access to two enclosed gardens. Staff reported that residents are supported to maintain the flowerbeds and pots in the garden.
Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Bedrooms are all single with an ensuite toilet and wash hand basin. Bedrooms were seen to have been personalised with the individual’s belongings, pictures and ornaments. People made positive comments about their rooms and the home. Six questionnaires noted that the home is ‘always’ clean. All areas of the home were seen to be clean and tidy, one odour was noted on one unit on first arriving. Communal areas are starting to show signs of wear and a redecoration schedule must be in place. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing
The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People using services are generally satisfied that they get the care they need to meet their needs, but there are times when they need to wait for staff support and attention. EVIDENCE: Staffing levels were seen to be sufficient, however three questionnaires identified that staff are always available and four questionnaires said staff are usually available with two additional comments that ‘often wait a long time’ and ‘wait, due to staff shortage’. Staff also reported that more staff would enable more time to be spent with residents doing activities. Two comments were also made about the difference between day and night staff, noting that night staff are ‘not so helpful’. A comment was also made that staff usually have the right skills but not necessarily the right attitude. Residents comments about staff included ‘the staff are good’, ‘staff help’, Staff were seen to have a good knowledge and understanding of peoples needs. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staff recruitment is in line with requirements, with application forms completed, interviews, references and Criminal Records Bureau checks completed prior to staff commencing employment. Staff reported that they have access to training courses and are supported to do their work. Staff training records continue to be quite confusing and it is quite difficult to see what courses staff have completed. The staff training programme must include training for working with people with dementia and challenging behaviours, to ensure staff are aware of people’s needs and how to meet them. Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Management and Administration
The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Checks show that records are generally up to date although some gaps are found. EVIDENCE: The registered manager left in March 2007. The organisation put in temporary management arrangements for a few weeks and a temporary manager is now at the home. This is the eighth change in manager since the home first opened. A permanent manager must be appointed and register with the CSCI. A senior staff meeting was held in April and May 2007 but it was not clear from records when the last staff meeting was held.
Link House DS0000019135.V338904.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Evidence was not available to confirm that residents are involved in the day to day running of the home. A representative from the organisation visits and carries out a monitoring visit and writes a report on the services provided. A copy of this report must be sent to the CSCI. Residents finances are well managed, records up to date and balances correct. If there are concerns about residents finances, these should be discussed with the placing authority to ensure people are protected from harm. Recording of health and safety is well ordered and up to date with the exception of the portable electrical appliances, the lift service and the weekly fire alarm test.
