This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was an unannounced visit carried out over one day. The inspection involved speaking to three service users, the husband of one of the service users and staff on duty. Other inspection methods included speaking to the registered manager who was present for the duration of the inspection, a tour of the premises and examination of records. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
Both the statement of purpose and the statement of terms and conditions have been revised to include all required information. The home has made some improvements around working with service users to identify their personal preferences and interests in order to assist in the development of individualised activities.
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 6 The key worker system introduced by the home is being developed to ensure that service users receive a more individual and personalised service from staff. More information is being gathered around service users’ food likes and dislikes to ensure their personal tastes are catered for which has led to more variety within the menu. There have been some improvements in quality assurance with consultation with service users, family/friends and other stakeholders involved in the service. What they could do better:
The service user guide needs to be revised to include more detailed information about the home as required by regulation. For those individuals referred through care management arrangements, a copy of the care management assessment must be obtained and used as the basis for drawing up the service user plan. Service user plans and risk assessments need to be signed by service users, family/friends or a representative where appropriate to demonstrate that service users or other relevant persons have been involved in the care planning process. Regular reviews need to take place and recording within service user plans needs to be carried out consistently. Risk assessments for service users need to be more comprehensive detailing action to be taken to minimise the risks identified and the social care needs of individuals need to be addressed more effectively as part of the care planning process. Improvements made around the keyworker system and ensuring individualised activities are carried out with service users need to be consolidated and undertaken on a regular basis. The home’s policy and procedure on the protection of vulnerable adults needs to be reviewed and updated. Although planning permission has been obtained and drawings are in place, work has yet to start to improve access to front of the building by installing a ramp. Furthermore, access inside of the home to the first and second floors for service users requires consideration. There are gaps in staff’s training, specifically mental health awareness, that needs to be addressed to ensure the staff team can meet all aspects of health, welfare and safety of service users. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 7 Quality assurance systems need to be expanded and consolidated to ensure self-monitoring is more comprehensively addressed and to ensure the home is run in the best interests of service users. The home’s recruitment practice needs to be improved to ensure the protection and safety of service users. Systems used in respect to the receipt and monitoring of service users monies need to be improved to ensure that service users financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are not currently in receipt of regular supervision nor have they had an annual appraisal. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 8 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS
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 Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,3&4 Standard 6 is not applicable. The service user guide does not contain all the required information to enable service users to decide if the home can meet their needs. Not all service users had a copy of the care management assessment on file. A lack of specific training may detract from the ability of the staff to ensure that appropriate care is provided. EVIDENCE: Subject to a previous requirement, the statement of purpose has been revised to ensure that it includes all the required information. However, the service user guide still needs to be changed to ensure it contains a description of individual accommodation and communal space, relevant qualifications and experience of the staff team and any special needs or interests catered for by the home. It should also be altered to include the name of the Commission for Social Care Inspection and the revised copy should be dated to ensure service users receive the updated version. Therefore, this requirement has only been partially met and will be re-stated in this report. It was evident that all service users had had an assessment carried out by the home. However, only the more recently admitted service users had a copy of
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 the care management assessment on file. For all service users referred through care management arrangements a copy of the care management assessment needs to be obtained and kept on file. Subject to a requirement. One of the registration categories of the home includes mental disorder. Subject to a previous requirement, the home was instructed not to admit any service users with mental health needs until staff receive specific training in this area to assist them to support service users admitted to the home with a mental disorder. It was reported that there have not been any admissions in respect of this category of registration and training for staff is still to be arranged. Therefore, this requirement remains unmet and is restated in this report. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7&8 The care management assessment is not providing the basis for the care plan drawn up by the home. Health care needs are comprehensively met but in terms of personal care there were inconsistencies with recording within service user plans. The social care needs and risk factors in relation to service users are not fully addressed. Care plans are not being regularly reviewed and there is insufficient evidence that service users are involved in the care planning process. EVIDENCE: Three service user plans were inspected. All contained a comprehensive assessment of need carried out by the home. However, as previously stated only those service users who had been more recently admitted to the home had a copy of the care management assessment on file. In addition, it was evident from one service user’s file that was examined that the care management assessment had not been used as the basis for drawing up the care plan by the home as needs and risk factors identified within the assessment had not been addressed. Subject to a requirement. In relation to health care needs these were comprehensively met with evidence of good liaison with a variety of healthcare professionals such as district
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 nurses, occupational therapists, opticians, dentists and chiropodists. However, in terms of personal care there were inconsistencies in recording. One service user plan where there were particular concerns about the service user addressing their personal hygiene, personal care received and efforts by staff to encourage the service user to bathe/shower had been carefully recorded. Yet, in respect to the other plans inspected there were gaps in recording indicating that personal care needs were not being adequately met. Subject to a requirement. Social care needs were not comprehensively addressed within service user plans and although there was evidence to indicate that two care plans had been reviewed regularly, one care plan and all the risk assessments inspected had not been reviewed at all. Furthermore, there was no indication that service users, family/friends or a representative where appropriate have had any input in the care planning or reviewing process. Subject to a requirement Also, although risks were identified there was not always adequate information about control measures to minimise the level of risk and ensure it is managed effectively. Moreover, needs identified within the care plan such as noncompliance with medication was not followed up within the risk assessment. This shortfall has the potential to adversely affect the welfare of service users. Previously subject to a recommendation, this is re-stated as a requirement in this report. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,14 &15. Improvements have been made to ensure staff spend time with service users in individualised activities as well as group activities to match their expectations and preferences but records kept indicate these are not undertaken regularly. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome, appealing and balanced diet. EVIDENCE: The home has made improvements in trying to engage service users in individualised activities by utilising the key worker system, which is being developed on an ongoing basis. A policy outlining the responsibilities of the key worker has been drawn up to assist staff with fulfilling the role. An Activity File is now in place within which there was some evidence of personal life histories that had been drawn up with service users by their key workers. In addition, each service user had an individual activity programme that stated their dislikes, interests/preferences, time spent with the service user and the activity that was undertaken. However, recording indicated that this was not occurring on a regular basis which, limits effectiveness. The home does also offer a weekly programme of activities which includes sing alongs, board games, quizzes, bingo, arts and crafts, taking residents out for walks or going to the local shops and activities linked to reminiscence. However, service
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 users spoken to stated they had never played bingo and one service user said, “It’s a bit boring sometimes”. There was no evidence to indicate individual or group activities are being evaluated with service users to assess the appropriateness of the activities, the extent to which they have been enjoyed, that preferences and interests are being met and who has participated. This is particularly important for those service users suffering from dementia. Subject to previous recommendations and a requirement these have been partially met but a requirement is to be restated in this report. It was also noted from training records that none of the staff had recently attended a course in reminiscence. This could assist staff in the organisation of activities for those service users with dementia and is subject to a recommendation in this report. In relation to religious observance, there are visits from the local clergy and one service user spoken to was assisted in attending the church of her choice. It was also evident from speaking to service users that they are able to exercise choice and personal autonomy. One service user said “I can get up and go to bed when I want to”. Another service user made a similar statement. In respect to meals, the menu was examined which clearly indicated that a choice is offered to service users, who expressed satisfaction about the food provided. One service user stated “The food is alright here, you can get more if you want it”. Subject to a previous recommendation, there was some evidence of food likes and dislikes recorded in service user files. In addition, improvements to the menu have been made offering a wider choice of desserts to ensure service users particular preferences are met. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18 Service users are protected from abuse. However, the home’s adult protection policy is in need of reviewing and updating. EVIDENCE: There was evidence to indicate that staff have undertaken adult protection training and staff spoken to have good awareness in relation to the protection of vulnerable adults. However, the home’s adult protection policy and procedures are in need of being reviewed and updated to include more information about the different forms of abuse, indicators that an individual might be experiencing abuse, information in relation to the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) register and references to relevant legislation. Subject to a requirement. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,20,21 &22 The home provides a safe and homely environment for service users, although there are issues regarding access for individuals with deteriorating mobility. In general, service users have access to safe and comfortable outdoor and indoor communal facilities. There are sufficient lavatories and washing facilities but these all need to be kept in good working order. Access to the front of the building is inadequate for service users. EVIDENCE: In general, the home provides a safe, homely and well-maintained environment. However, the accommodation is on three floors and this presents access issues inside the building. For, although there is a chair lift to the first floor, all service users except for those who have rooms on the ground floor have to be able to climb stairs. This issue has clearly impacted on the home in terms of under occupancy. It was reported that there have been problems in placing individuals in the home due to the inaccessibility in particular, to the second floor, where two bedrooms are situated. Consideration also needs to be given to those service users presently in residence whose bedrooms are on the
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 first floor in terms of how the home will address this problem as mobility and health needs increase. Previous requirements have been stated in relation to this issue. An OT assessment was carried out in July 2004 and in September 2004 CSCI received proposals to extend and adapt the home in a way that would address access difficulties but it appears these plans were later considered not to be feasible. However, due to ongoing concerns, a requirement is re-stated in this report. Communal facilities outside and inside the home are generally safe and comfortable. There is access to a large well-maintained garden at the rear with a sheltered area for service users to sit. The lounge and dining room are a good size and well furnished. However, there were concerns about hoist equipment being kept in the lounge whilst being charged presenting a health and safety risk to service users. Alternative storage should be looked at or consideration given to charge the hoist overnight when all service users have retired. Furthermore, in respect to staff sleeping in facilities, these are unsuitable with a sofa bed placed in the office that is very cramped and makeshift. It was reported that staff are actually using one of the service user’s bedrooms that is presently empty as a sleep in room due to the impracticality of the arrangements in place. More appropriate sleeping in facilities for staff need to be put in place. Subject to requirements. Although there are sufficient toilets and bathrooms, subject to a previous recommendation the toilet on the first floor is still awaiting work to be carried out on the toilet flush to make it easier for service users to use. This is to be restated as a requirement in this report. Also, in relation to access a previous requirement has been the need for the installation of a ramp at the front of the building. Despite planning permission being in place, building work has not yet commenced. Therefore, this is restated as a requirement in this report. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 29 & 30 Service users have not been adequately protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practice. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. Yet, specific training is required to ensure the team can meet the presenting needs of all the service users. The registered manager must ensure that staff receive an annual appraisal to plan future training needs. EVIDENCE: Four staff files were inspected. Not all contained the necessary documents required by regulation. Of particular concern was a recently appointed member of staff who had been working within the home without the appropriate police checks in place or the Protection of Vulnerable Adults register being checked. An immediate requirement to address this matter was issued and evidence was sent to CSCI immediately following the inspection that the Criminal Bureau form and request for a POVA First check had been sent. However, two staff records were also found to have only one reference on file. It is essential that all recruitment records are in place prior to staff being confirmed in post and begin working and practice in recruitment is safe. Subject to a requirement. All staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. An induction booklet has been introduced by the registered manager and has been used to induct the new staff member and was seen to be comprehensive. There was also evidence of a training and development plan for each staff member having an individual training record. All staff have completed the statutory training, which is regularly updated, and all have achieved the NVQ Level 2 in care. In terms
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 of additional training for the staff team, it was reported that they have all recently completed a course in Understanding Difficult Behaviour as part of dementia awareness and have also undertaken adult protection training. Staff spoken to confirmed this. However, the previous requirement of staff receiving training in mental health awareness has not been met. There was no evidence of annual appraisals having been undertaken with staff. This is important to ensure staff development is addressed and to identify future training needs. Subject to a previous requirement, this is re-stated in this report. Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,32,33,35&36. The home is generally well run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge and is of good character. However, the registered manager lacks the necessary support in relation to managing workload and information technology equipment to be able to discharge her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Some improvements have been made in relation to quality assurance but systems in place to self-monitor performance remain limited. Service users’ financial interests are not being safeguarded completely. Staff are not being regularly supervised. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has been in post for just over a year. She is currently undertaking the Registered Manager Award and NVQ Level 4 in care and management and is also doing a Supervisory Management course that she is due to complete shortly indicating that she is taking responsibility for updating
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 her knowledge and skills. However, there was evidence to indicate that the manager was experiencing problems with workload management and requires additional support specifically in relation to administration to be able to discharge her responsibilities fully. Access to a computer would also facilitate the completion of these tasks. Subject to a recommendation. Discussions and observations of interactions between staff, service users and the manager gave a strong indication that there is a positive and inclusive ethos within the home and that the manager is approachable, supportive and very committed. Feedback from staff confirmed that the manager does welcome and listens to ideas and contributions from staff. In relation to quality assurance systems, there was evidence that the manager had drawn up a questionnaire to obtain feedback from service users, family members and other stakeholders involved in the home, the results of which have been compiled and was recently reported back. Overall, feedback received was positive. In respect to other systems to enable the home to monitor its performance, these were limited. Resident meetings are held. Minutes were inspected that indicated these are well attended by service users but they have not been held regularly. The home did not have an annual development plan in place or evidence of an internal audit. Policies and procedures observed are in need of review and to be updated. Also, the manager could not provide evidence of monthly provider visits. Subject to a previous requirement this has been partially met and therefore is restated in this report. Random samples of four records of resident’s finances that are managed by the home were examined. Each service user has their own individual petty cash account that details transactions and receipts are being kept. All records inspected reconciled with the balance of monies held by the home. Yet, only one account showed evidence of being regularly signed by the manager/staff member and the service user when transactions had been carried out. The manager carries out a self-audit of service users finances every fortnight but stated that external audits are not carried out. No valuables other than money and saving account books of those that are under appointee ship with the registered provider were held on behalf of residents and these are kept secure in the home’s safe. However, it was noted that the home did not have a form detailing valuables /possessions handed over for safe keeping which is signed by the service user and staff and kept as a record. This needs to be put in place. Subject to requirements. A recommendation is also to be made that a more secure alternative to the paper envelopes being presently used for storing service users’ individual money be looked into. Staff files sampled did not include evidence that staff are receiving regular individual supervision. Staff spoken to gave mixed responses when asked about supervision. Records of supervision seen indicate appropriate discussion and topics are covered but that for some staff members there has been a
Manor Park DS0000025632.V258271.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 22 considerable gap since their last supervision session. Subject to a previous requirement this is to be restated in this report. Staff meetings are held regularly. Copies of minutes were seen that covered a range of topics including training, practice issues in relation to service users and general matters to do with day to day running of the home.
