An application has been received at the commission from the organisation West Regent Ltd, to extend the period of time in respect of the service returning to The Royd and also to extend the time for them to recruit and have in place a registered manager. This inspection was conducted on an announced basis by one regulation inspector over a period of one day. The inspector was able to meet with residents and staff. Records pertaining to care delivery, staffing, services and health and safety were viewed. A short tour of the premises was undertaken. Comment cards received prior to the inspection from professionals who visit the home were generally complimentary of the service, however some concerns were raised that the home does not always follow up on actions following reviews of care. Residents’ opinions and views were that the home is good, that they enjoy living at the home and that the local amenities are excellent. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? Residents have been encouraged to be involved in the planning of their care, they have been asked about how effective this care has been. Written care plans have been individualised to each resident, developed from an assessment of need.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users’ know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1,2,5 Residents are not provided with adequate information to ensure they can make a fully informed choice as to whether they wish to live at the home. EVIDENCE: The home has a detailed statement of purpose describing the service, resources and facilities at the home. The statement needs amendment to detail that the home does currently provide nursing care to residents. Sampled residents’ files included detailed assessments updated following the transfer to Millwater. Residents’ contracts in respect of the terms and conditions of residency refer to The Royd nursing home, the contracts need to be updated on an interim basis to reflect accommodation at Millwater. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 6,7,9 Written care plans and their related assessments including risk management plans are inadequate to fully support individual residents to achieve their goals. EVIDENCE: Assessments of need do include adaption and loss, mental health relapse management and all activities of daily living have been recently completed. The assessments in part require further development to include specific details such as; clear instruction of exactly which areas of personal care require supervision and statements such as “goes to bed at normal time” needs to detail what is normal for each individual resident. Mental health assessments also require more information to be completed in the section called ”normal day care needs”. One dental / oral health assessment recorded referral to a dentist, however details of this referral were not available. Written care plans had been developed from these assessments, however one assessment of frequent backache had no complimentary care plan. A care plan following a recent report of high cholesterol levels was not available. Sampled files also included Care Programming Approach care plans, summaries, reviews and relapse and risk management plans. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Some important information recorded at these reviews had not been developed into care plans and thus actions had not been implemented such as cooking, college courses and yoga classes. The home has developed many risk assessments for residents, these raise individual residents risks such as vulnerability, finances and safety issues in their rooms. Many risk assessments and measures to reduce risk are reviewed monthly, this must be practice for all risk assessments. Risk assessments are needed where medical tests are declined by residents such as blood tests; the risk assessment framework and management plan must include consultation with relevant healthcare professionals such as the mental health team, GP and social worker and also inform staff of signs and symptoms of toxicity. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11,12,13,15,17 The home does not support residents to have all their lifestyle needs met in a safe environment, this means that the residents health maybe put at risk especially when food safety is considered. EVIDENCE: Residents informed the inspector that they are able to use many local shops, clubs and local amenities. The home also supported them with developing their cooking skills and that the weekly cooking group continues to meet. The home has not addressed requirements from the last inspection to ensure the weekly menu encourages a healthy diet, that residents have access to drink making facilities when needed and not be reliant on staff to access the main kitchen to make hot drinks. The current weekly menu does not allow residents to have an alternative choice of dinner. Written care plans are needed to define how residents are supported with cooking skills. Health and safety checks are not fully maintained in the kitchen including fridge and freezer temperatures, core food temperatures, taking food samples and completing cleaning schedules. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 These improvements were identified at the last inspection and records suggest that these concerns are mainly apparent when the cook is not on duty, especially as weekends. Chipped and damaged crockery needs to be replaced. One resident was very positive in respect of the social skills training group that meets once a week with activities inside and external to the home. Some residents’ activity records described leisure activities such as golf, day trips, walking and snooker. Sampled residents files all included an assessment of recreational and leisure pursuits. At the time of inspection some residents and staff were involved in a game of badminton in the garden. Residents confirmed that visiting them at the home was flexible and that the home was supportive when they visit family and friends. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18,19 and 20 The personal and healthcare needs of residents are not fully met by the home, improvements are needed to ensure that it is safe and meets the individual residents specific needs. EVIDENCE: The residents are able to meet their own personal care needs, the staff do monitor and record residents ability and provide encouragement where needed to improve and maintain standards. Details of specific areas of need and support are needed as identified in standard six. Monitoring personal care is recorded as a measure in some relapse management plans and care programming approach documents. Some residents confirmed that they see when needed their GP and also support from their community mental health team and social workers. Some residents require health checks such as weights and blood tests, the manager confirmed that weights are required monthly, however sampled records reflect this is less frequent. Records of health visits are maintained on a separate form for staff to gather information quickly and to keep the information together. Medicine management is generally good, requirements of the last inspection have not been totally addressed. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 Concerns still remain in respect of the accurate recording of medicines on the MAR and ensuring the stock of medicine is accurate. Some as required medicines did not have a written protocol or a written care plan to guide and advise staff of when it should only be administered. The medicine policy could not be located at the home at the time of inspection. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 22 and 23. The home does not fully protect residents who are vulnerable from the risks of abuse. Residents are adequately supported to raise concerns in respect of their care and service provision. EVIDENCE: The homes complaint policy is visible within the home, residents have a copy in the residents guide and also information is recorded within their terms and conditions of residency. The home has policies and procedures to help protect residents from the risks of abuse, these policies do not fully comply with local multi-agency guidelines. The manager informed the inspector that a review of this policy was underway. A commitment to training staff is recorded within the policy however sampled staff files did not include evidence of such training. The home has completed risk assessments with each resident detailing why the home needs to help manage their money and records do reflect that residents’ money is being safely managed. The balance of money for one resident should be discussed with the resident and social worker to ensure it is fully secure. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24 and 30 The home is maintained to a high standard, including décor, repairs and good infection control practices. Residents are living in a comfortable and healthy environment. EVIDENCE: The home has been decorated and furnished to a high standard throughout. The communal areas seen by the inspector have been well maintained. Furniture is of a modern design and adequate to meet individual and collective needs of the residents. All areas appeared bright and clean. Staff were observed maintaining good infection control practices, appropriate hand washing facilities are available in high risk areas such as communal toilets. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 33,34,35,36 The staff team is not trained, supervised and recruited to fully meet the needs and to adequately protect the safety of the residents. EVIDENCE: Staffing rosters included with the pre-inspection questionnaire indicate there is normally one trained nurse (RMN) during all day hours and a minimum of four support workers in the morning and three in the afternoon. At night one nurse and two support workers are on duty. Duty rosters do not indicate the full name of the worker or the times shift commences and finishes. The roster does not identify who cooks at the weekend, where this is nurse or a support worker, additional hours to maintain minimum staffing levels must be in place. The home has not employed a permanent domestic member of staff, this requirement is carried forward from the last inspection. The recruitment practice must be improved, some staff were recruited on the basis of a CRB photocopied from and completed by a former employer. References are taken up and application forms completed. A pre-employment health check is also completed prior to appointment. The pre-inspection questionnaire section regarding training information had not been completed, previous inspections record that the home does not have a minimum of 50 of care staff trained to NVQ 2 in Care or above. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 Induction training based upon the TOPSS programme is in place however training is needed in all safe working practices for all staff including nurses; this must include Basic Food Hygiene and Moving and Handling. Some staff receive supervision routinely, these supervisions include learning, performance, areas of concern and an action plan. One nurse had no supervision records available. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 37, 42 The manager of the home has not been registered with the commission, her ability to manage the home has not been fully assessed. In light of this it is deemed that the skills and competencies of the manager are inadequate to fully meet the needs of the residents. EVIDENCE: The home as required at previous inspections does not have a registered manager who is suitable qualified, competent and experienced. The present manager will shortly be leaving the home. The home has some risk assessments for hazards in respect of fire, premises and staff. Further assessments are needed to detail other hazards such as food safety, gas and security at the home. The testing, servicing and maintenance of the homes fire system, utilities such as gas, electric and water and all other health and safety checks are kept upto date. Millwater E54 S63161 Millwater V230966 080705 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 20 The recent emergency light service identified seven lights that had failed the test, the manager was left an immediate requirement to have these repaired. The manager since the inspection has telephoned the inspector to confirm the lights have been repaired.
