Inspection on 19/09/05 for Milton House

Also see our care home review for Milton House for more information

This inspection was carried out on 19th September 2005.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

Staff working within the home were kind in demeanour and attitude. Staff morale was positive and there was a good team spirit. The deputy manager within her field of competence, responsibility and experience demonstrated a commitment to improving standards. The inspector was received well and the inspection was a pleasant experience. The home is centrally situated with easy access to the town. Residents were complimentary about the food provided.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection that took place on 6th January 2005, there were no substantial improvements to note. This is not to say that no improvements what so ever have taken place, but this judgement was based on the areas inspected at this inspection. Other improvements may be evident at the next inspection.

What the care home could do better:

The Commission would acknowledge that the registered provider is currently addressing local management issues. However, there is a legal obligation that at all times, the home is being managed on a day-to-day basis in a competent manner. This was not evident on the day. The registered provider must be able to demonstrate that documentation systems, statutory records, staff recruitment records, care practices, health & safety issues, and environmental matters meet regulatory requirements and the national minimum standards. Staff also require the leadership and guidance of appropriate management. The registered person must make immediate arrangements for the home to be managed on a day-to-day basis by person or person(s) suitably qualified, skilled and experienced. It is not acceptable for the current deputy manager to carry the responsibility of `managing` the home until such time when local arrangements are clarified and/or addressed.

Milton House provides accomodation for 28 residents. The home has 24 single and 2 double bedrooms. Most have ensuite facilities. There are 2 lounges and a dining area. There is a car parking area at the front of the building and a small secure garden/patio courtyard style area. Milton House is situated close to central Southend and has good access to local bus and train routes. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection took place over a period of 6.5 hours. The inspection focused mainly on the progress the home has made since the last inspection, although other standards were considered. Not all ‘shortfalls’ from the last inspection were re-assessed. This has been reflected within the relevant ‘agenda for action’ section of this report. The Commission would acknowledge that there had been a period of unsettled local management in the month prior to the visit and this was taken into consideration as part of the inspection. The registered provider has provided a plan of action to regularise the situation, but some matters identified during the inspection require more immediate attention. As a result, a letter was sent to the registered provider asking for details of how these matters are to be addressed. These matters have a bearing of the safety and welfare of residents. A partial tour of the home took place. Staff and residents were spoken with. Records were selected at random and viewed. A notice was displayed in the main entrance area advising all visitors to the home that an inspection was taking place with an open invitation to speak with the inspector. The deputy manager was present throughout the inspection. In addition, Mrs Vive–Kananda and Mrs MaCarthy (Service Support Officer) were present during and/or at the end of the visit. ‘Feedback’ was given during and at the end of the visit with opportunity for further discussion and/or clarification with those present. The next inspection will focus more on the day-to-day management of the home and will cover additional standards as well as assessing the progress of the shortfalls identified at this inspection. Some of the shortfalls identified at this inspection have been raised at previous inspections, but remain not addressed. The registered provider will be given this further opportunity to put things right. If at the next inspection there has been no progress or inadequate progress, the Commission will be minded to take further action. What the service does well: Staff working within the home were kind in demeanour and attitude. Staff morale was positive and there was a good team spirit. The deputy manager within her field of competence, responsibility and experience demonstrated a commitment to improving standards. The inspector was received well and the Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 6 inspection was a pleasant experience. The home is centrally situated with easy access to the town. Residents were complimentary about the food provided. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: 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. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 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 standard(s) 3 & 6 Pre admission and admission documentation was brief and not complete. There was inadequate detail on which to base a full assessment of care needs. EVIDENCE: The registered provider is aware that the current pre admission and admission documentation system is inadequate. It lacks detail, continuity, and uniformity and mainly consists of a ‘tick box’ style format. A full discussion took place with those present who agreed with the inspector’s findings. Milton House does not provide intermediate care. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 9 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 standard(s) 7,8 & 9 The current care plan system documentation system which includes risk assessments is fragmented, lacks order, is not complete and contains inadequate details for staff to follow in providing care to residents. EVIDENCE: The current care planning system is inadequate and not effective. Although all residents had care plans, those seen were inadequate in detail and content, had not been reviewed and did not always record identified known care or related health care needs. Those risk assessments seen were not adequate in detail and/or content. In some cases, pages within the care planning system had not been completed or were left blank. This lack of order and continuity places residents at potential risk as care needs are not always being recorded and there are no clear instructions to staff on how to deliver the care. On two separate occasions the inspector and the deputy manager witnessed residents being moved in wheelchairs without the use of footplates. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 Residents said that they were happy with the care provided but were bored most of the time. The inspector did observe one member of staff interact very well in a warm friendly manner with residents. Residents clearly enjoyed this natural interaction. This was reported to the deputy manager as being an example of good practice. This was the only interaction the inspector observed which was not task orientated. These matters were discussed in full with those present who agreed with the inspector’s findings. There were some anomalies within the medication administration recording system. These were fully discussed with the deputy manager who took notes at the time. There was direct reference to the Royal Pharmaceutical Society guidance. The home must review it’s own ‘in house’ medication policies/procedures to ensure full compliance with this guidance. Although not inspected in full, the storage of medication was orderly and secure. Documentation made reference to the intervention and assistance of health/clinical care related services/agencies upon request. Two community nurses were in the home during the inspection, but unfortunately on this occasion the inspector didn’t speak directly with them due to their workload. They were aware of the inspection and had opportunity to speak with the inspector if they wished. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 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 standard(s) 15 Residents receive a balanced and varied diet. EVIDENCE: Residents spoke positively about the choice and quality of food provided. The home maintains appropriate records. On this occasion, the inspector did not observe the presentation and serving of food. Practices and lunchtime routines were not observed. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 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 standard(s) 16 & 18 The homes complaints procedure was displayed in the main entrance. Staff were aware of Protection of Vulnerable Adults procedures. EVIDENCE: An appropriate complaint procedure was displayed in the main hallway. However, the complaint record book was not current. The last entry was made on 22nd July 2003; the deputy manager said that there had been complaints since that date. Residents spoken, with said that they would be happy to raise any issue of concern with a member of staff. Staff spoken with, were able to discuss appropriate procedures concerning the reporting of any POVA issues and of the home’s ‘whistle blowing’ policy. Staff POVA training was not discussed in any detail at this inspection. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 13 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 standard(s) 19,20,23,24,25 & 26 The standard of décor, furnishing, fitments, hygiene and safety within the home varied from acceptable to not acceptable. Some aspects of the environment could potentially put residents at risk. EVIDENCE: On entering the home, there was a very unpleasant urine odour. During the day, the odour had permeated into the main lounge area. Odour control within the home must be managed more effectively for the wellbeing and comfort of residents. The deputy manager acknowledged that the current situation was not acceptable. Residents’ bedrooms were personalised and clean, but many items of furniture within these rooms was old, worn and not in good condition. Some rooms still contain older style nursing beds. This practice is inappropriate in a residential home setting. Where parts of the basic bed structure had been adapted to make them more acceptable, metal post sections had been left sticking out. This practice is dangerous. In one bedroom, these ‘posts’ had been covered Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 14 with bedspread and the inspector walked into the hazard resulting in a minor injury. This incident was witnessed by the deputy manager and acknowledged that there was a very real danger of a resident injuring themselves. In general, many areas of paintwork and wall coverings were in need of attention because of their poor maintenance condition. Bedrails seen did not have protective ‘bumpers’, wardrobes were not securely attached to walls and residents cannot control the temperature in their respective rooms because ‘controls’ are boxed in. There were no adequate risk assessments in place concerning these matters. The footplate on the bathroom hoist was not in good condition, a bathroom cupboard contained a mixture of residents’ personal toiletries and an electrical junction box housing call bell wiring that had no cover which exposed the wiring inside the casing. The laundry area contained no COSHH documentation, no safe working practice information or infection control policies/procedures. Soiled washing had been left exposed in a basket on the floor. There was no protective covering for staff to wear within this area. The laundry area is directly off the main courtyard area that is used by residents. The door was left wide open allowing residents free access to an area that houses electrical equipment and chemicals. This practice is not acceptable. The member of staff dealing with food in the kitchen area was wearing no protective gloves or apron. Whilst food was being prepared, a soiled and dirty dustsheet was covering the oven area as maintenance work was being undertaken at the same time. This practice is not acceptable. Much of the furniture within the lounge and dining areas is old and not in good condition. It was understood that the service support manager has raised this with the registered provider on previous occasions, but there has been no real progress in obtaining new furniture. The general standard of furnishing through the home is not good. The outside décor of the home requires attention, as the paintwork is not in good condition. The home does not have a designated visitors room. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 15 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 considers Standards 27, 29, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 29 Adequate recruitment procedures could not be evidenced either in the home or from the Head Office. This places residents at potential risk. EVIDENCE: Staffing levels were not fully assessed at this inspection. It was noted that much of the interaction between residents’ and staff was task orientated. There were long periods of time when the more dependant residents were left to their own devices. This will be further assessed at the next inspection. The registered person must be able to demonstrate at the next inspection that there are sufficient staff on duty at all times to provide not only physical care, but to also meet the social, occupational and emotional needs of residents. Staff spoken with were helpful and had a good manner. The inspector sensed a good team spirit and moral was positive. Residents had no complaints about staff attitude or demeanour. Staff supervision sessions and team meetings require development. Staff records viewed were not complete and did not contain items required by regulation. These include staff being on duty and ‘in charge’ with no evidence of cleared POVA 1st Checks or Criminal Record Bureau checks. Documentation was not in the home and Mrs Vive-Kananda could not locate them in the Head Office. Not all staff had two references, there was a lack of evidence concerning staff induction, the homes own printed ‘in house’ personnel/recruitment check records were incomplete, unsigned and/or Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 16 undated. The paperwork relating to one member of staff was located in somebody else’s file. Staff training records require updating and stored or filed systematically. The current situation is unacceptable and places residents at potential risk. Milton House I56-I06 S15457 Milton House V236201 190905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 17 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 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 31,32 & 38 The absence of effective local management was evident during the inspection. The registered provider has a legal responsibility to ensure that this is addressed. The home is not being properly managed. EVIDENCE: The Commission would acknowledge that the registered provider is currently addressing local management issues. However, there is a legal obligation that at all times, the home is being managed in a competent manner. This was not evident on the day. The registered provider must be able to demonstrate that systems, practices, health & safety issues, and environmental matters meet regulatory requirements and the national minimum standards. The registered person must make immediate arrangements for the home to be managed on a day-to-day basis by person or person(s) suitably qualified, skilled and experienced. It is not acceptable for the deputy manager to carry the responsibility of ‘managing’ the home until such time when local arrangements are clarified.
