What the care home could do better:

The AQAA returned was not fully completed as could be, this was due to lack of information provided. As a consequence vital information has been lost and failed to form part of this report. This information may have benefited the overall quality of assessment by us for Maplin House. Quality Assurance is carried out well and the information is collated, however the results of this needs to be made available in an area accessible to all residents` and visitors to the home and sent to all interested parties, including CSCI. Recruitment documentation needs to be complete for all staff, this is relating to photographs missing from staff files and ID documentation from one. As well as the in-house induction process, new staff need to follow the `Skills for Care` criteria for induction.

This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. The site visit took place over five hours and was carried out as part of the annual inspection programme for this home. This visit was conducted with assistance from the proprietor. As part of the process a number of records relating to residents, care staff and the general running of the home were examined. The site visit also focused on any requirements and recommendations from the last key inspection. Prior to this site visit CSCI (Commission for Social Care Inspection) sent out surveys to all interested parties, however at the time of writing this report only three have been returned, however these comments from relatives will form part of this report. A number of residents and staff were spoken with during the site inspection and a tour of the building was undertaken. Additionally the manager was sent an (AQAA) Annual Quality Assurance Assessment form. This is a self-assessment that homes are required by law to complete, that asked how well the home is meeting the needs of the people who live at Maplin House. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? Most of the requirements and recommendations from the last inspection have been met and one remains partially met.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A robust pre-admission process reassures residents that their needs will be met before they move to the home. EVIDENCE: The manager reviewed the Service User Guide in January 2008 and contains up to date information on the services that the home provides. There are five vacancies at present, however there have been no admissions since the last inspection. Five of the residents’ care files looked at, showed us that all key areas such as personal preferences, general health care, and emotional, social and physical needs are covered by the pre-admission assessment process. The policy and procedures around admission showed us Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 that it allows the person to visit and meet other people living and working in the home, before any decisions are made. Residents spoken with confirmed that they had an assessment prior to their admission and that they had been given sufficient information to make a choice. The manager states on the AQAA that, ‘we carry out pre-assessments,to ensure suitability of new residents.’ Maplin House does not provide intermediate care. Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 (Older People) and Standards 6, 9, 16, 18 –21 (Adults 18-65) are: 7.

The Commission considers standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 (Older People) and Standards 6, 9, 16, 18, 19 and 20 (Adults 18-65) are the key standards. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10 (op) 6, 9,16,18,19 and 20 (ya) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff are successful in delivering appropriate care for all residents. EVIDENCE: In all of the eight care plans inspected, there was evidence to show that a good standard of recording is consistent and in place. In all care plans looked at information such as weight monitoring, fluid in takes, falls, dementia and individual support for communication needs were inclusive. All daily notes, professional visits (such as GP’s, hospital visits), general recording of the Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 changing needs in care plans and risk assessments are in place and clearly cross referenced. This shows that issues are picked up on and actioned. Monthly reviews are clear, concise and include a summary of why there may or may not be any changes made to the care or risk assessment, for example in one person monthly review it explains, ‘this person has had a review of medication with their GP and there are no changes needed, so the care plan remains the same.’ In all of the personal files looked at, under the section of reviews, there was no blanket response of, ‘no change’ without some kind of summary being found to back up why, equally where changes to the care plan are needed, this was clearly explained. The care plans are clearly used as a working document and they consistently reflect the current care being delivered. Additionally the files reflect that the staff make sure that all residents have access to a wide range of health care services, such as, dentist, community and district nurses, Choice of GP, chiropody etc. The manager states on the AQAA that, ‘Personal care delivered with regard to all care values being adhered to at all times. Professionals i.e GP or District Nurses are being contacted immediately if problems arise.There is good communication between staff and service users.’ The majority of residents stated that they are well supported by the care provided by staff and the majority of relatives expressed that the support was usually to a good standard. A Monitored medication dosage system is in place for each resident. Medication is stored in a lockable cabinet. The administration records were being maintained in accordance with agreed procedures. Record sheets had been signed for with no omissions or gaps. When medications are booked in or returned and documentation is consistently recorded and accurate. Looking through the medication folder there is plenty of advice, guidance and good information regarding medication taken by residents. This gave staff more in depth knowledge about medications taken by individuals and would enhance good practice by enabling them to pick up on any concerns and to spot any changes more easily with residents regarding medication. Discussion with key members of staff who administer medication on a regular basis evidenced that they knew procedures well, had training and were aware of individual need. Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 (Older People) and Standards 7, 11– 15 and 17 (Adults 18-65) are: 12.

The Commission considers standards 12, 13, 14 and 15 (Older People) and Standards 12, 13, 15 and 17 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14 and 15 (op) 12,13,15 and 17(ya) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. All residents can be sure that they will be offered appropriate activities. EVIDENCE: Observation on the day of inspection showed that staff have good interaction with individuals and speaking with many of them it is apparent that they listen to residents’ views, for example, empowering them to make choices of activities they may want to carry out for that day, as well as having a weekly plan to use. Weekly activities both during the day, evening and weekends aromatherapy, joining in and playing various board games, attending evening Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 clubs, visiting, phoning and keeping in contact with friends and family, watching TV and films, taking rides out in the minibus supplied by the home and using the local facilities within the community. Additionally every week a resident gets to go to the local supermarket and do the food shopping for that week. In of one individual notes it stated that, ‘I offered them a number of things what they may want to do for an activity, however they wanted me to assist them in bringing in their washing from the line and putting it away and then chose to spend the afternoon in the garden relaxing as it was a nice day.’ Other daily notes were also reflective of choices made by the resident and not by the member of staff. Many of the residents spoken with consider that they have retired from full time education or regular planned activities, therefore the level of activities offered within the home are appropriate for the current demand or need. Equally people are encouraged to have a full week if this is what they want, for example, one person attends a day centre Monday to Friday, they have attended this centre for many years and told us that they still wish to continue to do so. The manager states on the AQAA that, ‘Service users go out in the minibus regularly and visit a friendship club weekly.’ During the inspection lunchtime was observed. Staff interacted sensitively with people that needed assitance and people could have their meals where they chose. The meal on the day of inspection was nutritious, home cooked and when speaking with indivduals they informed us that, ‘it is cooked nice’ and ‘what I liked to eat’. Menu’s looked at were varied, healthy and inclusive of special dietry needs. They was always a choice of meals and residents went shopping to enable them to choose their own preferences every week. Monitoring of fluids and food consumption is recorded well and actions taken if any issue arise. Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 – 18 (Older People) and Standards 22 – 23 (Adults 18-65) 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 feel their views are listened to and acted on. (YA NMS 22) Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service Users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. (YA NMS 23) Service users are protected from abuse. Service Users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. (YA NMS 23) The Commission considers standards 16 and 18 (Older People) and Standards 22 and 23 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18 (op) 22 and 23 (ya) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents’ benefit from a good complaints procedure. Residents are protected by staff knowledge and training. EVIDENCE: The proprietor reassured me that a dedicated complaints and concerns folder is in place, however on the day of the site inspection this could not be produced. Some staff are aware but not fully knowledgeable around the home’s policy and procedures or what to do if they received one. If a complaint or a concern is received then it is important that all staff know how to record this appropriately. Therefore this should be discussed with all staff. The proprietor showed us that he has good first hand experience around knowledge and procedures to follow around safeguarding, (protection of vulnerable adults) such as, the staff inclusion list, what other agencies to involve and who would take the lead role within a safe guarding issue. There has recently been a safeguarding issue raised within the home. The Boroughs safe guarding unit has led and guided the proprietor and manager through this process and as a result has raised awareness and good practice within the service. Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Looking through staff training and the induction of all new staff it is clear that the proprietor and manager have made safe guarding training a priority and certificates were in staff folders to show us that this had taken place. Additionally an advocacy service has been involved in supporting the people who live at Maplin House. This service is now providing a weekly session of activities without the homes staff being involved, apart from providing the people who live there with additional activities it also allows them the chance to raise any concerns they may have and to speak freely. On the day of site inspection the advocate was spoken with and gave the staff and manager of the service praise for being caring, listening to individuals and overall a good service.

Maplin House provides plenty of good space, light and private rooms for residents and their families to use. There were no apparent odours in communal or private rooms and the place was clean, tidy and smart. Resident private rooms were personalised and comfortable.

The Commission considers standards 27, 28, 29 and 30 (Older People) and Standards 32, 34 and 35 (Adults 18-65) the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 (op) 32, 34 and 35 (ya) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are protected by good staff recruitment, induction and training. EVIDENCE: Training opportunities for all staff are good and include manual handling, health and safety, first aid, dementia awareness, fire awareness, safeguarding and infection control. Staff spoken with reflected that courses undertaken had developed a better understanding of the residents that they worked with. New staff shadow the more experienced staff for a period of weeks, this practice gave them a chance to build a rapport with individuals and get to know their needs well, before working independently. The induction of new staff consists of basic in house issues. The manager still needs to implement alongside the basic induction staff receive, the ‘skills for care’ induction process which is a reflective workbook that covers all basic training needs such as, fire safety, health and safety, safe guarding and should be completed within a Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 period of time of new staff being recruited. This would aid new staff to further refresh and gain knowledge, which is essential to their role, and also enable the management to monitor staff performance and progress within the expected probationary period. The proprietor and manager states on the AQAA that, ‘New staff to be given a brief introduction to each individual service users needs.’ Two staff recruitment records viewed contained application forms, two references obtained, criminal records bureau checks undertaken and contracts of conditions of service and job descriptions were issued to new staff. However proof of ID and photograph were missing on one of the staff files inspected. Supervision notes were present within folders. Staff spoken with confirmed that there are regular meetings, individual supervisions and hand over meetings (sharing of information) on each change over of shifts.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35 and 38(op) 37,39 and 42 (ya) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The manager protects and promotes the health, safety and welfare of the residents at Maplin house. Maplin House DS0000015450.V364321.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 EVIDENCE: The manager is knowledgeable, has good experience of the resident group she works with and is highly organised. There is clear accountability. The policy, procedures, support for both residents and staff which maintains the health, safety and welfare of both parties. Speaking with staff, relatives, residents the majority appear more than contented with the current situation of the home under her leadership. Policy, procedures and documentation evidence that resident finances are protected. All health and safety checks that were inspected are up to date. Within the fire records looked at were found to be to a good standard. The manager does ensure that there is a good Quality monitoring system in place, however results of this need to be made available to CSCI, relevant interested parties and in a format the residents can access. Quality Assurance includes views of residents and their representatives. The manager has collated this evidence and has made a plan of action recording the outcomes which is kept within the office. Again residents meeting are held and some of the issues raised within the surveys have also been raised in the meetings. The home is seen to do very well in addressing these issues raised and actioning them. The AQAA that was sent by CSCI was completed to a basic standard. The manager needs to develop the next AQAA by covering all of the outcome areas required.
