What the care home does well

There were some excellent reports from residents and their friends and relatives regarding the standard of care offer at Milton Lodge. One relative wrote about the service as part of a Care Home Survey (carried out by the Commission for Social Care Inspection): `They do their best at all times, they give my mother the love and care she needs and deserves.` Another relative wrote, `having experienced less satisfactory support at other homes where our relatives were living, I feel that Milton Lodge is well above average.` The service is very homely and comfortable. Many of the residents looked happy and content in pleasant and relaxing surroundings. Everybody who lives at the home has a plan of care setting out the action that is needed to be taken by care staff to ensure all aspects of health, personal and social care needs of the residents are met. These plans are reviewed regularly and any changes are written down in the plans. This ensures that the care staff has current information about each of the residents. Daily routines for the people living within the home are flexible and the residents` personal routines and lifestyles are respected. Mealtimes are relaxed and unrushed. Menus showed that there was plenty of choice available. The food that was being cooked on the day was nutritious and appealing. Several of the residents spoke of how much they enjoyed the cooking at the home. Almost all of the care staff either have a nationally recognised qualification in care or are working towards this. Over 50% of the staff are now qualified. This means that the care staff are better prepared to provide care for the residents of the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

New carpets have been laid in the lounge, dining area, stairs and hallway of the home. A new boiler has been fitted which has improved the central heating of the home. New curtains and soft furnishings for some of the bedrooms have been delivered. Some of the residents` rooms have been decorated. The residents live in pleasant and comfortable surroundings which enhances their well-being. A new gas cooker has been fitted in the kitchen area with an extractor fan. This has made the kitchen and dining area more pleasant to be in. Safety flooring has been fitted to two of the ground floor toilets ensuring sure the residents are safer when using these facilities. The manager of the home has completed a recognised qualification in management which helps to ensure that this care home id managed properly. Several of the care staff now have a nationally recognised care qualification ensuring that the residents are cared for by skilled and competent staff.

What the care home could do better:

The control, storage and administration of prescribed medication at this home needs to improve. There were a number of issues identified that could put the welfare of the residents at risk. A referral was made to the Commission for Social Care Inspection Pharmacist to offer advice about their medication procedures.

There were three care staff on duty, including the manager, during the site visit. There were 17 residents living at the home at the time of the site visit. The Commission for Social Care Inspection sent out survey comment cards to the residents and their families for them to express their views on the service. A number of these were returned and the results of this survey have been expressed in the report.

Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 1 and 3. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The information provided by the service is good, meaning that people can make an informed choice as to whether the home can meet their individual needs. Pre-admission assessments were thorough meaning that the home was confident that people’s needs could be met. EVIDENCE: The care plan records of four residents showed that assessments had been carried out before admittance. The assessments included information on religious, cultural, health and relationship needs of the residents. The relative of one resident confirmed they had been involved in the assessment process and were happy that the needs of their relative were being met. The service had a detailed Statement of Purpose and a Service User Guide, which described the facilities and services offered by the home. Two of the residents were able to confirm that they had been given this information before they made the choice as to whether the home was right for them, and Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 would meet their particular needs. One relative confirmed that their family were able to visit and look round the home before making a final decision as to whether or not the home was right for their parent. This is important because services and facilities could be viewed first hand to assess the suitability of the home. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Medication procedures and practices which could put the residents of the home potentially at risk. People were otherwise well cared for and treated with dignity and respect at this home. Care within the home was planned and reviewed to facilitate positive outcomes for the residents. EVIDENCE: Individual records are kept for each resident with a plan of care setting out the action that is needed to be taken by care staff to ensure all aspects of health, personal and social care needs of the residents were met. Significant events had been recorded and daily entries made setting out the care given. The care plans were structured and were being reviewed once a month. The care plans were then updated to reflect any changing needs in the health and personal care of the resident. No one in this home had been assessed as being able to control their own prescribed medication. A number of record sheets were looked at which showed how frequently the residents were given their medication. There were Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 several unexplained gaps where the senior carers had not recorded if medication had been given. This meant that either the record had not been filled in properly or some residents had not been given their medication when they should have been. Missing prescribed medication is dangerous and could affect the physical wellbeing of the residents. One resident had been prescribed medication that was ‘controlled’ because of its content or strength. The senior carers were no longer following the correct procedure regarding how this was recorded: the recording log register wasn’t being filled in. This meant that there were no records of who had administered the drug, how many tablets had been given and how many should be left. Controlled drugs should also be kept within a designated cupboard. This was not being done. There were two tablets of prescribed medication on the office floor close to the medication cupboard. This had been dropped either by a resident, who had been given their medication, or by the staff member who administered the medication. This could have affected the well being of the resident who should have been assisted to take it. Recent training had taken place at the home regarding medication awareness for the senior care staff that gave out medication. This was aimed at improving the good practice of the home regarding the handling of medication and this should have been addressed, and practice improved after this training. A referral was made to the Commission for Social Care Inspection Pharmacist for a more detailed inspection of the medication practices at Milton Lodge. There were some very positive comments made by the friends and family of people who lived at the home about the standard of care. One relative, who was spoken to, said, “Excellent, I can’t speak highly enough of them.” Another relative wrote of the home, via a Care Homes Survey (sent out by the Commission for Social Care Inspection), ‘ It (the home) cares for the varying individual need of a variety of residents with efficient and very caring staff. Despite the pressure of work they always have a positive outlook whatever time of day or night.” A resident who was spoken to during the inspection said, “Yes, I like it here, I like the way I’m looked after and the home is very comfortable.” Information was recorded by the carers about visits by health care professionals, such as doctors and district nurses. This is important because it enables the care staff to know the current state of health of the resident and what treatment, if any, they are receiving from healthcare professionals. No one who lived within the service had any pressure sores and there was equipment available within the home to prevent these. A nationally recognised Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 assessment tool was being used on a monthly basis to help ensure that pressure sores and tissue breakdown did not occur. Three of the residents were spoken to during the visit. All said that they were treated well and were spoken to with respect by the care staff. The inspector observed care staff talking respectfully to the residents of the home. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 12, 13, 14 and 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Social activities and meals are both well managed, creative and provide daily variation and interest for people living in the home. EVIDENCE: Those residents who had special dietary needs had this recorded on their care plans. The Commission for Social Care Inspection sent out surveys to relatives and friends of the residents at the home and one person commented, “They always pay attention to (the residents) needs. My relative is diabetic and the staff are fully aware of what they can, or can’t eat.” Eleven surveys were received from residents and all said that they ‘always’ or ‘usually’ liked the meals at the home. The residents were eating lunch in the dining room at the time of the inspection. The surroundings were pleasant and the meal was unrushed. Four of the residents that were spoken to said that they enjoyed the food provided by the home. The cook was spoken to during the visit. She said that fresh vegetables were always used and that care was taken to ensure that the residents had a balanced and nutritious diet. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Residents spoken to were very happy with the arrangements in place for social activities. These were varied and arranged individually and in groups. Several residents said they enjoyed activities both inside the home and in the local community. There was a schedule of daily activities on the notice board of the home. These included bingo, days out, quizzes and dominoes. Several residents were playing dominoes during the inspection of the home. Entertainers were booked to appear at the home on a regular basis. A varied activities programme adds to the wellbeing of the residents of the home. There were several visitors to the home during the inspection. One visitor said, “I’m really happy about how they treat (my relative). The staff are always polite and look after us well when we visit.” Another relative commented via a care home survey supplied by the Commission for Social Care Inspection, ‘Although myself and other relatives visit regularly every week, the staff do not hesitate to ring me on any matter concerning my mother. They make us feel very welcome when we visit.” Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Arrangements for complaints are handled well and taken seriously ensuring people feel listened to. Procedures for dealing with and reporting abuse were satisfactory ensuring any safeguarding matters are appropriately managed. EVIDENCE: The manager of the home and the senior carer were spoken to during the visit. Both had a good knowledge of how people should be safeguarded from harm whilst living at the home. They were aware of the procedures to follow should they be unhappy about any aspect of care at Milton Lodge. There were policies and procedures available for the staff to read regarding keeping people safe. There had also been recent training regarding ensuring that people are safeguarded from harm. There were certificates to verify this in the care staff files. One of the residents commented, “I feel really safe here.” The home had a detailed complaints procedure, which is made available to all residents on their admission. Residents spoken to were aware of how to make a complaint and felt these would be listened to and acted upon. The relatives of three residents also said they were aware of the complaints procedure but hadn’t had any cause to make a complaint about the home. At the time of this site visit no complaints had been received by the home or referred to the Commission for Social Care Inspection. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 All of the residents and relatives who filled out care surveys sent out by the Commission for Social Care Inspection wrote that they knew how to make a complaint about the home if they needed to. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

The home has a planned maintenance and renewal programme for the redecoration and refurbishment of the home to ensure residents live in a comfortable, homely, clean and safe environment. EVIDENCE: Some of the bedrooms had been decorated since the last inspection and the stairs and hallway areas had been fitted with a new carpet. The lounge and dining areas also had new carpets. Some of the beds in the residents’ rooms had been replaced. The provider had also recently purchased new matching curtains and bed heads for some bedrooms; these were waiting to be fitted. It is important that things are replaced when they show signs of wear, making the home a better place for people to live in. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 A tour of the building confirmed resident bedrooms had been personalised with their own belongings.

Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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.

Several care staff files were looked at during the visit. It was clear that staff were being recruited properly and that checks were being made to ensure that only suitable staff were being employed at the home. The files had been renewed and information was easy to find. All the correct information was being held for each staff member. Milton Lodge DS0000009694.V334550.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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.
