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 Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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): 1, 2, & 3 - Standard 6 is not applicable to this home. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who may be considering moving into the home receive sufficient information to make a decision about moving into the home. Their needs are assessed prior to admission to ensure that the home can meet these needs. EVIDENCE: The home has a joint service user guide/statement of purpose (brochure) which gives people choosing a home a clear picture of what day to day life is like at Mont Calm. It discusses matters such as the staff and their
Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 qualifications and what types of people, they can care for. A copy of this document is available in the hallway for guests and people who wish to use the service to look at. People who use the service and their relatives who completed comment cards all confirmed that they received sufficient information to help them make a decision about moving into the home. Terms and conditions for people using the service have been reviewed as suggested on the last report and now include all of the content required, including the fees payable and by whom. Comment cards from people who use the service confirmed that they have received a contract. Two members of the management team visit all people applying to use the service in their own homes or in hospital to carry out a comprehensive assessment to make sure that the home can meet the person’s needs and expectations. Where the people wishing to use the service have a Care Manager an assessment is also completed by them and given to the home. The pre-admission assessments enable the home to be sure that they will be able to meet the needs of people prior to them moving into the home, and form the basis of the service user plan of care. The home, like many others, does not provide intermediate care as described in Standard 6 of the National Minimum Standards. This is a specific service, which is designed for people who may be able to move back home. Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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): 7, 8, 9, & 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service have their health care needs met by the staff, supported by health care professionals. Some improvements are needed in the recording of medication to fully protect the people who use the service. EVIDENCE: Each person living in the home has his or her own, individual, person centred plan of care and care plans include any equality or diversity needs that are identified. All care plans are now available in the new revised format and improvements to the format are ongoing. All care plans are reviewed monthly or at the time of changing needs if this is before the planned date for review.
Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Where the people who use the service are unable to take full responsibility for signing their own reviews their families are encouraged to undertake this task on their behalf. Recording in the care plans has improved in the past few months following recommendations at an adult protection meeting. The daily individual record sheets have been improved and are now completed three times daily to include information about what happens during each shift. The times of nighttime checks are also detailed. The health needs of the people who use the service are being met by the staff of the home supported by a variety of health care professionals such as Doctors, nurses, Chiropodist and Optician. All visits from health professionals are logged in the individual plan of care. District nurses are contacted if there are suspected pressure sores and they provide support, treatment and the necessary equipment to promote good tissue viability. A visiting health care professional commented, “They give the best care they can, sometimes above and beyond the call of duty”. The home undertakes nutritional screening for each person on admission, and weights are recorded monthly. The home has a set of sit on scales for this purpose. One visitor commented, “They meet her needs, they notice”. Families are kept informed about the health and needs of their relative, comment cards included, ‘I am always contacted for anything to do with my father’, and ‘Yes (I am kept up to date), my husband has been in hospital several times’. Since the last inspection the storage of medication has been reviewed as required, and fans and thermometers have been provided in the medication rooms to allow staff to check that temperatures do not go above 25oC. Storage of medication is good. The recording of receipt, administration and disposal of medication is, on the whole, sufficient to allow an audit trail to take place. However on the day of the site visit there was one recording error due to staff misreading information and not double-checking properly. The home manager has undertaken to speak to the staff involved; to remind all staff who administer medication of the correct method of checking and recording; and to instigate additional regular checks. A requirement has been made regarding this. There was also one bottle of eye drops that had not been dated on the bottle when opened and this has been added to the requirement. All staff who administer medication have attended medication training. Staff at the home respect the privacy and dignity of people who use the service. Examples include staff knock on doors before entering, call people by the name they prefer, and cover them whilst performing personal care tasks. The communication witnessed between staff and service users was friendly but
Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 respectful. The home has a policy on equal opportunities which includes equality and diversity information. A visitor commented, “They treat her with respect”. One professional comment card included ‘appropriate use of rooms for consultation’.

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): 12, 13, 14, & 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service are supported to lead a lifestyle that meets their needs and preferences; they are encouraged to maintain links with family and friends; and they receive a wholesome and nutritious diet. EVIDENCE: The home now employs 2 activities organisers, one for each house. Individual getting to know you sheets and life history books being completed, and these sheets include details of the interests of the people who use the service, and also any equality and diversity needs. A varied range of activities are organised from dominoes to scrabble and from reminiscence to hand massage. Staff comments about the activities included, “We sometimes do exercises with
Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 them” “They are really good at the moment, its brilliant”, “Its better than it was”, and “I don’t think they have enough group activities”. One of the people who use the service said, “I like picking flowers”. Outings are organised and a mini bus was on order and expected the week after the site visit. Outings that had occurred included a visit to The Friary for lunch. All activities are recorded, and the record includes when people have chosen not to join in. Currently the only religious needs of the people living in the home are Christian based. Contact includes a weekly visit from the catholic priest, a fortnightly holy communion from the local vicar, and occasional visits from representatives of other denominations. Should people from other religious backgrounds come to live in the home the manager would arrange visits as needed. People who use the service are encouraged to maintain contact with their families and friends. Visitors commented, “The staff are very friendly, they always make us welcome”, “You always get offered a cup of tea”, and “I am made welcome and have a laugh and joke with the staff and the other residents”. The people who use the service are encouraged to make decisions about their daily life and care, as far as they are able. Staff indicated a wide variety of choices are given on a daily basis. One visitor commented, “She is not sat in the same place all of the time, when she has had enough of one place or person they encourage her to move somewhere else”. Although the home is made up of two separate houses, all of the food is prepared in one house, and all is freshly home cooked. Since the last inspection a heated trolley has been provided for each side of the home and lunch is served directly from the trolley by the care staff. Currently there are some people who require a soft diet and where this is needed it is served in separate portions to resemble a regular meal. The only other special diets catered for at present are vegetarian and diabetic. Other special diets would be catered for if and when required. The home uses a 4-week menu that has been checked by a nutritionist to ensure that it provides a balanced diet. There is a choice available and care staff ask the people who use the service what they would like each morning. The cook is currently looking into extending the variety of second choice available for the lunchtime meal. The home is also reviewing the teatime menu to allow for better choice. Visitors to the home commented, “The food is fine”, and “The food is really good”. Staff comments about food included “Its O.K.”, “It could be better”, “They get a nice
Mont Calm Residential Home DS0000067183.V348521.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 selection of fresh veg, and I think its good”, “She is a brilliant cook”, and “It’s better balanced now than before”. It is the intention of the home to build up a portfolio of photographs of the meals to show the people who use the service and encourage them to make informed choices.
