This was an unannounced inspection – so that no one at Miriam Kaplowitch House knew that the inspection was going to take place. The inspection took approximately four hours through the middle of the day, with one inspector present. The method used to carry out the inspection was to send out a pre-inspection questionnaire, which asked questions about the service, to gather statistics, such as how many service users there are, the numbers of staff etc. We also sent out a number of surveys to residents and relatives, of which eleven were returned from residents, and ten were returned from relatives. This was followed with a visit to Miriam Kaplowitch House, where a method called case tracking was used; this involved identifying three residents and looking at their individual files and making a judgement about the quality of care they are receiving, and if their needs are being met. This was done by a partial tour of Miriam Kaplowitch House, looking at the activities on offer, and talking to staff and three residents. The registered manager – Maria Baddoo was present throughout the inspection and supplied much of the information provided for the inspection. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? At the last key inspection seven requirements were set relating to: medication, risk assessments, producing a plan of care for each resident, introducing staff documentation in line with Care Homes Regulations, and keeping care plans under review. These have all been met.

EVIDENCE: The three resident’s files seen all contained an individual plan of care, and details of health, personal and social care. Evidence was seen that the care plans are being redeveloped, with a more logical and easier to follow format. All three files contained all of the basic and key information that should be within them. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Each of the three files contained care plans relating to the resident’s health. The care plans contained sufficient detail for staff to be able to monitor the progress of health related issues, while recording all relevant information. Miriam Kaplowitch House have a monitored dosage system (medication dispensed into dossette boxes by the pharmacist), which is run through the local chemists. Inspection of the storage and record keeping – including administration records showed that there were no errors or omissions, and there is a clear audit trail for medication within the building. Some residents do self-medicate – usually creams, and there are care plans and risk assessments in place for those individuals. At the last key inspection a requirement was set relating to the storage of eye drops, and them being dated when opened. This requirement has now been met. During the inspection a number of staff to resident interactions were observed. These were always polite and respectful, and residents were seen to be treated with care. Staff were seen knocking on doors before entering, and there was a relaxed atmosphere throughout the home. All three residents who were spoken with said that they thought the staff were very good, and treated them with respect. This was also reflected in the resident questionnaires, which were returned. Each of the resident’s files had a specific care plan dealing with death and the wishes of the individual resident at the time of their death. The Jewish faith have many rituals associated with death and dying, and there was a great deal of evidence to show that any resident’s death would be dealt with in accordance with the customs and wishes of their faith. A rabbi was visiting the home during the inspection to spend time with a resident whose health was failing, and to offer spiritual support.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12 13 14 & 15 Quality in this outcome area is excellent; this judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

Staff were found to be knowledgeable about the Jewish faith and traditions, and the inspection took place during the festival of Passover. Staff were observed to be supporting residents during the festival, and engaging in activities that were associated with the festival. There is a weekly programme of events on display, and during the inspection a session of Bingo was underway. Talking with one resident who has passed their 100th birthday showed that they go by taxi every week to play cards at a Bridge club. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 All of the residents who were spoken with said that they had good family contact, and that their families could come whenever they wanted to. Some relatives were attending Passover events at the home, and all of the residents who were spoken with said that they felt Miriam Kaplowitch went some distance to include relatives in events and activities. Each of the residents spoken with said they thought there was a great deal of choice at Miriam Kaplowitch House, and gave examples. The choices ranged from the food on offer in the menu, activities, and daily living. Records relating to choices made over food were seen. Food plays a very important part in the Jewish faith, and all of the food prepared at Miriam Kaplowitch House is kosher. The staff working in the kitchen, explained the principals of kosher food, and showed me how the kitchen was divided into a dairy kitchen and a meat kitchen. Discussions with three residents indicated how important they thought this was. As it was Passover, a new menu had been introduced for the duration of the festival, and there were obvious signs of great care being taken over the ordering and preparation of the food.

Residents at Miriam Kaplowitch House are potentially at risk of abuse. EVIDENCE: Miriam Kaplowitch House have received one complaint since the last key inspection, a review of the complaints record showed that the complaint had been dealt with in line with Miriam Kaplowitch’s complaints procedure. All three residents who were spoken with said they knew how to complain and who to complain too, but they felt quite happy, and had never made a complaint. This was also borne out by the resident’s and relative’s questionnaires, which also indicated people, knew how to complain, but had never felt the need. Discussions with three staff members indicated that two had received training in safeguarding adults however this was over two years ago, and they had received no update training, while the third member of staff said that they had not received any training in safeguarding adults. A review of staff training records showed that mandatory training was, and specifically safeguarding adults training needed to be tightened up, so that all staff receive the necessary training and have annual updates to ensure they are aware of the latest policy and best practice. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

During the tour the maintenance man was decorating a bedroom, and discussions with him indicated that this was being done in a way that would cause the minimum of disruption to the residents. Evidence was seen that minor repairs are dealt with swiftly, and that procedures are in place for dealing with bigger maintenance issues. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 All three residents who were spoken with said they thought that the building was very comfortable, and they were very happy with the decorating and the fixtures. Outside the garden is spacious, fairly private and is landscaped, with a mixture of lawns and flowerbeds, with trees and shrubs to provide shade and privacy. There are also ramps and handrails to enable those residents with restricted mobility to access the gardens. Throughout the inspection the house was found to be clean and tidy, with cleaning staff seen to be hoovering and cleaning. Discussions with cleaning staff indicated that there were cleaning routines in place, and that the staff thought they had enough cleaning materials to be able to do their job properly. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27 28 29 & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good; this judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The numbers and skill mix of staff at Miriam Kaplowitch House meets the residents’ needs. Residents at Miriam Kaplowitch House are in safe hands at all times. Residents are supported and protected by Miriam Kaplowitch House’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff at Miriam Kaplowitch House need to be better trained so that they are competent to do their job. EVIDENCE: The staffing rota for Miriam Kaplowitch House was seen, and this indicated that there was enough staff on duty to meet the resident’s needs. The rota showed that the staff team had a structure, with some staff, more senior to others and able to take decisions and organise the work. Three members of staff who were asked all said that they thought that the staffing levels were sufficient, as did the three resident residents who were spoken with. The recommended standard training course for staff working in care is the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) level II. Of the twenty-four staff members on the team, one person has their NVQ level II, four are currently studying for the qualification, while four more are about to start. In addition two members of staff are starting their NVQ level III course. Ideally there should be 50 of the staff team qualified to a minimum of NVQ level II. The indication is that while this 50 has not yet been achieved Miriam Kaplowitch Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 is working towards achieving it. Miriam Kaplowitch House also employs two qualified nurses to work on the night shift. Three staff files were seen, and each one contained all of the necessary documentation to indicate that staff had been recruited in a manner, which would protect residents – this would include: written applications, formal interviews, two written references, and a criminal records bureau check. Each of the three members of staff who were spoken with said that they had been through a formal recruitment process, and had supplied references, and been criminal records bureau checked. A review of the staff training records showed that Miriam Kaplowitch House does have a training plan for it’s staff, and that some areas are well covered, for example a number of staff had recently received first aid training, and the majority of staff had also received moving and handling training. However records indicated that the last training on fire safety was in 2005, and as already identified not all members of staff had received training in safeguarding adults. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38.

EVIDENCE: Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V333860.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The registered manager has been through the Commission fort Social Care Inspection’s ‘fit person’ process, and has been judged to be fit to manage a residential care home. Miriam Kaplowitch House has a quality assurance system based on questionnaires being sent out, and the comments received analysed. The current quality audit questionnaires have just been sent out, and the manager is awaiting their return. Currently resident’s meetings do not take place at Miriam Kaplowitch House, and these should be introduced to ensure that residents have a formal voice, and the opportunity to comment on the quality of care they are receiving. Resident’s at Miriam Kaplowitch House have a small cash needs system for their cash needs. This is operated on their behalf by the staff, and four resident’s finances were sampled at random and checked. All cash balances tallied with the records, and receipts were kept, which enabled a clear audit trail of resident’s expenditure. The manager said that a system of formal staff supervision was being devised, and implemented, but that as yet it is not in place. Three staff members when asked said that they were not receiving formal supervision, although they felt they could approach the manager if they had any ‘issues.’ A range of health & safety records were seen, including fire records, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health records, and water temperature checks, and these were all found to be correct and complete, and indicate that both residents and staff at Miriam Kaplowitch House are kept safe by the policies and procedures in place.
