Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The site visit was carried out over two days by two inspectors. The inspectors toured the home, looked at records, care plans, policies and procedures and resident’s finances and witnessed medication being administered. The people living at Marie Louise House prefer to be referred to as residents, therefore the rest of this report will reflect this. The inspectors witnessed lunch being eaten and positive interaction between residents and staff as they participated in daily activities such as watching films as planned by residents and the activities coordinator. The inspectors had the opportunity to speak with residents and a visitor to the home. The inspectors also spoke to four members of staff. The home was clean and provided pleasant accommodation for residents. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The home have improved activities that are flexible and varied to meet the residents’ expectations and preferences. The manager has reviewed the homes complaints procedure which specifies how complaints may be made and who will deal with them within the stated timescale. The duty roster shows the names of the staff that have actually worked. The pre admission format has been improved to provide a comprehensive assessment tool. The manager said the general atmosphere of the home has improved, providing a homely environment. Staff feel that they are working better as a team. Resident and staff meetings have become more regular and are well attended, one relative confirmed either she or her siblings attend relatives meetings, which they find very useful.

Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 7 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 Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 8 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 & 6 Prospective residents receive information about the home that will enable them to make an informed choice. The home have a comprehensive pre admission assessment form which enables each resident to be fully assessed to ensure the service users needs can be fully met by the home. The home does not provide intermediate care. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The manager has revised the home’s statement of purpose, which sets out the aims and objectives of the home and includes a service user’s guide providing basic information about the service to existing and prospective residents. One resident confirmed they had received a copy. The inspector asked the manager to remove the word ‘registered’ prior to manager when referring to herself, as she is not yet registered with the CSCI as manager.
Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 The pre admission form has been greatly improved, the manager or the deputy complete these assessments, which they say are easy to follow and more comprehensive. It was suggested that a space is available on the form for a signature of any other people who are providing information for the assessment. The manager agreed and said this would be added. The home does not provide intermediate care. Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 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): 7,8,9 & 10 Care plans do not reflect the individual health, personal & social needs of resident’s to ensure their personal needs are met. Residents are protected from the homes medication policies & procedures. Residents feel they are treated with dignity and respect & that they are given information to enable choice. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Care plans were in place for all the residents but these were not detailed or personalised to address the individual care needs of each resident. The care plans were “core care plans” which staff had completed by ticking a box in each section of the plan. There was a section at the bottom of each plan for additional information; all these had been left blank. None of the records seen by the inspectors contained a care plan for night care/sleeping. All the records contained a form to be signed by the resident or their representative to say they had been involved in the care planning process. All these forms had been left blank.
Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 At the last inspection the inspector was informed by the new manager that they were aware of the unsatisfactory documentation of care plans in the home and had already identified this as a priority to be addressed as part of her management strategy plan. The inspector was also informed that the care planning for the home was shortly to be documented on a computer and that the care plans at that time were just temporary. No progress appears to have been made with the care plans and the same requirement made at the last two inspections has not been. It is of serious concern that care plans are not being updated or have in depth information within them to enable staff to competently attend to residents needs effectively. This has been required on two consecutive occasions, 30/09/05 and 01/03/06. This matter will now be addressed by way of a serious concern letter outside of this inspection report. One Inspector sampled risk assessments for the building, which were comprehensive and included risk assessments for activities and staff. Policies and procedures are available regarding health and personal care, staff were aware of where to find policies should they need to refer to them. The manager confirmed in the homes pre inspection questionnaire that the policies were reviewed in May 2006. The inspectors witnessed medication being administered by a trained RGN (Registered General nurse.) The recording procedures were found to be correct, and the staff member said she received regular monitoring by the deputy manager, as well as training in administration of medication, however certificates were not available to confirm this. All the residents spoken to stated that they were well cared for and treated with respect and their dignity is upheld by the staff. One relative said “staff are always helpful and respectful of my mother”. Staff said they are aware of the importance of dignity and respect, one staff said “ I treat people as I wish to be treated, and I respect my elders”. The manager confirmed staff receive training to ensure residents feel that they are treated with dignity and respect and that residents views are listened to and respected, however certificates were not available to confirm this. The recent questionnaire stated residents feel that they receive information which enables them to make choices. The manager confirmed in the homes pre inspection questionnaire that policies and procedures are reviewed and available for staff to access regarding residents health and personal care, and that residents access the district nurse and audiologist via their Doctor. Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 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): 12,13,14 & 15. Residents social, cultural and religious needs are met and they are able to participate in a programme of suitable activities, receive visitors as they wish and are offered a choice of nourishing well-presented meals served in a relaxed atmosphere. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The receptionist has taken on responsibility as activities coordinator during the afternoons Monday-Friday, and schedules activities for residents to participate in over the weekends. The manager explained the home have a separate budget for residents activities. The inspector sampled records which show the activity that has taken place, and what each resident thought about it. The home have an activities committee, nine residents and staff have been arranging a summer fair. The inspectors observed residents eating lunch in the dining room, the atmosphere was relaxed, residents were offered choices of main meal and desserts. The manager explained some residents choose to eat their meals in their bedrooms, the manager explained the way meals are distributed to residents in their rooms has been improved, to ensure the meals are hot and
Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 are served to the resident in their room, and not plated up in the kitchen. Cold drinks, tea and coffee with biscuits and cake were available throughout the day and staff are able to access the kitchen at night to provide hot drinks and snacks for residents who wish them. Residents spoken with said that they were able to exercise choice over their daily living activities. The registered manager said that there were no residents from an ethnic minority at present but that if a resident had cultural or religious interests every effort would be made to accommodate them. A Church of England service is held every day, and Pastoral sisters visit daily and speak with residents if they wish. Residents are able to choose to attend the services as they wish. The home has an open visiting policy. This was evidenced by records of visitors to the home and confirmed by relatives and one relative, who confirmed they visit at different times of the day and are always welcomed. The manager confirmed in the homes pre inspection questionnaire that policies and procedures are in place to ensure residents are supported to lead active lives as they prefer, however care plans did not reflect this. Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 Complaints and Protection

The home has a satisfactory complaints procedure, which residents feel able to use and an adult protection procedure to safeguard residents from abuse. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Residents spoken to were aware of whom to complain to, should they have a need to, although at present they were happy with the care they receive. The homes complaint log was looked at and showed adequate details of the complaints received and that they had been resolved. The complaints procedure in the policy and procedure file was different to the complaints procedure held in the ‘service users guide’, the manager said this would be amended so that both documents hold the same relevant information. One staff said ‘I am aware that reporting any concerns or complaints is important to improve things, I know that I should speak with the matron, or the owner if it is about the manager.’’I have received training in Adult Protection issues.’ The home have included the corporate Hampshire County Council and adult protection procedure, which includes a whistle blowing policy. The manager confirmed in the homes pre inspection questionnaire that policies and procedures are reviewed and available for staff to access regarding complaints and protection, and that staff receive training in Adult protection, however training records were not available to support this.

One inspector looked at these records and they were found to be correct records of the money held. The manager confirmed residents can access their money during office hours, Monday to Friday, so forward planning is needed to ensure residents have enough money for the weekend. The manager said relatives send money to the resident as and when they need it, the home safeguard the money until it is needed. One resident said ‘if I need any money I get it, I sign to say how much I have received, and another member of staff confirms this amount.’ Marie Louise House DS0000062154.V288741.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 Environment

The manager explained at present the home has 29 of its workforce either working towards, or have achieved National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) levels 2 and 3. The manager will look into whether the RGN’s qualification is equivalent to an NVQ level 3, this would increase the total staff with NVQ qualifications to over 50 .
