What the care home does well

The home provides a high standard of care to the residents living there. The staff team are kind, caring and enjoy their work. They seem to have a genuine regard for the people living in the home. A resident said she enjoyed living there and she had a good relationship with the staff team. The atmosphere in the home was relaxed and happy. The staff work hard to provide a range of choices to the residents at home and to ensure that they are able to participate in a wide range of fulfilling activities outside of the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The menus have been reviewed to ensure that they provide a varied and nutritious diet for residents. Nutritional assessments are being introduced to ensure that any problems are quickly identified and acted upon if any resident has any problems with their diet. Each member of staff now meets with a senior member of staff on a regular basis to review how their work is going. The kitchen units and flooring have been replaced which has provided a very nice eating area for the residents.

What the care home could do better:

The residents are not being weighed regularly enough. It is important that this is done as part of the monitoring of residents` wellbeing. Medications were being stored and handled well, however, it was noted that there was one gap on a record so it was not clear whether a medication had been taken or not. The Company vets applicants for jobs in the home well, but it was noted that a declaration regarding any criminal record had not been signed. The applications for jobs should be looked at more carefully to ensure that they are fully completed. An up to date record could not be found to show that the gas appliances had been serviced within the last twelve months by a competent person. This needs to be provided. The Home`s copy of the Certificate of Insurance had expired. An up to date copy must be obtained so that interested parties know that the home has this insurance. Both parts of the home`s Certificate of Registration, issued by the Commission, must be displayed so that interested parties can confirm what the home is registered for.

Not all of the residents use verbal communication, however staff could describe how they offer choices to them and carefully observe their body language or other means of communication, which helps the staff to know what they like and dislike. The staff were observed to do this throughout the day. They were Lyndhurst & Albany B53-B03 S668 Lyndhurst & Albany V226427 060705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 seen to consult residents and respect their choices regarding food and how they spent their time.

Other residents preferred to spend time alone. A baking session takes place weekly which residents participate in. It was confirmed that residents’ visitors are welcomed to the home. Staff also spend time with residents helping them to write to relatives to keep them up to date with their news. This is good practice.

An adult protection policy and whistle blowing procedure is in place. Some of the staff have received training in adult protection issues and the rest are to receive this in July this year. Evidence of this training was seen within staff records. A member of staff spoken to during the inspection had received this training, showed an understanding of the issues and was very clear about the action she would take if she had any concerns.

Further redecoration and refurbishment is planned for the future. There are an appropriate number of bathrooms and toilets. The home is equipped with hoisting equipment and a tracking system for lifting people. Dining chairs have been adapted for use by people living in the home. A belt is being used to ensure the safety of one resident when sitting in a dining chair.

The procedures for the recruitment of staff are robust which helps to ensure that residents are protected. Training is provided to the staff team, which ensures that they have the skills necessary to support the residents living in the home.

Through the night there is one waking night carer and a second carer sleeps in on the premises in case further assistance is needed. On many days there are more than three staff on duty to support residents going out for day care or social activities. The support staff carry out food preparation, laundry and cleaning tasks. Staff turnover has been low which provides for greater consistency of care.

They were skilled and knowledgeable about the needs of the residents they were supporting. Comment cards were received from two professional visitors to the home who were satisfied with the care provided. Additional comments were made as follows:“Establishment is more like a family than residential care. Well run. Well maintained. Works to care standard.” Excellent person centred approach to care.

Lyndhurst & Albany B53-B03 S668 Lyndhurst & Albany V226427 060705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 21 The positive comments of residents, members of staff and other interested parties, give confidence that the Manager provides good leadership throughout the home and has an ‘open door’ policy which encourages good communication. Meetings are held with staff and residents. The home has a quality assurance programme in place, which includes seeking the views of residents, relatives and other interested parties, to provide feedback on the quality of care provided. Discussions with the Manager and examination of records provided evidence that the staff were being supported in their roles through regular supervision meetings. A thorough approach is adopted towards health and safety. There is a system in place to ensure that the staff are given training in moving and handling skills, fire safety, first aid, infection control and good hygiene.
