What the care home does well

The home is fortunate in retaining a stable and dedicated staff team who have good understanding of the needs and challenges of the residents. Staff were observed to be providing care in a flexible manner targeting this to meeting the particular needs of each resident as these arose. The staff were seen to be working cohesively together as a team and to be interacting well with the residents with whom they had an easy rapport. The good standard of training, supervision and support that the staff receive enables the care needs of the residents to be well met. The size and facilities of this spacious building have been well adapted to meet the needs of the residents. The resident`s social plans are well developed and the home provides a good range of activities, which are targeted to meet individual needs.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection the residents care plans have been fully revised with fresh information presented in an accessible manner. An easy to use " widget" computer system has been introduced for the use of the residents.A number of refurbishment and re-provision works have been carried out to the building and a timetable for other works has been agreed.

What the care home could do better:

The home should continue to revise its documentation to make this more easily accessible to its service user group. Further development of the "widget" computer programme would be advantageous for the service users as would an Internet link for the home.

The building is owned by the National Trust and leased to Care Tech. It is located within several acres of parkland and gardens, which are accessible to residents. It is within walking distance of Potters Bar shops and town centre and is convenient for public transport links.

The house has been divided into two units, one eight bedded unit for residents requiring higher staff input and a four-bedded unit for more independent residents. All bedrooms are for single occupancy and each unit has access to its own communal areas. The layout of the building makes it unsuitable to residents with reduced mobility. There is a service folder, which includes a copy of the latest Commission for Social Care Inspection report, the complaints procedure and other information concerning the service, readily available in the home. Fees vary according to the unit concerned, ranging on average from just over £1000 per week to £1500 per week. Personal toiletries, newspapers, dentistry and chiropody services where these are not free are all charged at additional cost, as are some day care services.

EVIDENCE: As there have been no new residents admitted to this home since the last inspection it was not possible to examine any recent admission records. However previous documentation was seen to include a comprehensive initial assessment process and the planning of a phased introduction to the home. One resident who had been living in the home for many years told the inspector with great detail of her memories of her first introductions to the home and said how kind the staff had been in helping her to quickly feel very settled The existing residents have the required information about the home including the recently reviewed Service Users Guide and Statement of Purpose.

The diverse social and activity needs of the residents are well supported. Staff assist the residents to use local community facilities. A varied and healthy diet of freshly prepared good quality food is provided. EVIDENCE: All the residents have individually planned social and activity plans, which were seen to be well recorded as part of their new person centred care plans. It was noted that these plans are also regularly reviewed to take account of any changing needs or wishes. Each residents plan encompasses three or four days attendance at either a local day centre or college class as well as some regular evening and weekend activities involving sport or community events. The manager must ensure that Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 the activity needs of the one resident temporarily unable to attend the day centre are adequately met during this interim period. One resident spoke to the inspector of her part time job in a local charity shop whilst another spoke of her recent efforts and staff support to obtain similar employment for herself. The home has regular access to transport facilities so that outings and visits in the locality can be quickly arranged to accommodate plans made unexpectedly and the inevitable problems caused by sudden changes in the weather. Photographic evidence was seen of recent trips and visits made and the residents discussed some of these with the inspector. Others were seen to be studying summer holiday brochures and to be making plans for visits to a variety of destinations. The extensive grounds give good opportunity for outdoor leisure activities, which on the sunny day of this inspection were being well used. The opportunities presented by the development of the large greenhouse continue to be well appreciated by the residents who showed the inspector the variety of vegetables that were being grown. All the residents participate in choosing the menus and in the preparation of their meals. Good attention is paid to a healthy eating regime. Fresh ingredients are used with free-range eggs and locally grown potatoes being brought from a local farm shop. Bowls of fresh fruit were seen to be freely available in the dining rooms and lounges as well as in some of the resident’s bedrooms. The planned diets were varied with good choices available at each meal. Records of food actually eaten were recorded where needed along with monthly weight records. BMI records are not presently kept and these should be considered especially for residents with high or low weight problems. The manager reported that the cooking and gardening skills of one staff member in facilitating an improvement and encouraging greater interest in these areas has been to the homes considerable advantage. The residents are fortunate in having family or other long-standing friends who keep in regular visiting contact and to whom they can make periodic staying visits. One service user has an advocate and another is subject to a Guardianship order. Several relatives completed questionnaires prior to this inspection giving their comments and views as to the quality of service that their relative was receiving. Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18,19 and 20. People who use this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using a range of available evidence including a visit to the service. Personal Care and Health Care offered to the residents continues to be of a high standard. There is a robust medication storage and administration system, which was well maintained. EVIDENCE: Personal care was seen during this inspection to be delivered to the residents in a kind and understanding manner by staff who clearly had a through understanding of their care needs both physical and emotional. This observation was supported by the detail of the discussion between the staff that occurred during the shift handover meeting, which the inspector sat in on. Staff were heard to be discussing how to enable and encourage a resident to do as much for themself as was possible within safe limits. Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Individual carers were seen to reassuringly intervene when residents became anxious or aggressive. Staff have undertaken training on the management of challenging behaviours. There was good evidence of the resident’s involvement with a number of health professionals; residents are all able to visit their GPs at their surgeries and one was seen to be doing so accompanied by staff during the time of this inspection. One resident attends for regular chiropody treatment and several others have recently had a hearing assessment. The psychology service has regular contact with the home and one resident has been referred for a further specialist assessment. Two residents regularly attend a local epilepsy clinic. Since the last inspection all the residents have received an optical examination as part of the new outreach service offered by a local optician. The manager explained that following the closure of the local hospital based specialist dental service he is endeavouring to arrange for all the residents to be registered with other local NHS dental services. Medication records were spot checked and found to be satisfactory. All staff that administer medication have been trained to do so. The manager confirmed that residents would be encouraged and enabled to self medicate where this was appropriate and could be done so safely. At the time of this inspection only creams were being self administered by one resident. The home continues to use an MDS, monitored dosage medication system supplied by a local chemist. The medication was seen to be safely stored in appropriate locations where good attention was given to the maintenance of a safe temperature. The MAR, medication administration records spot-checked were accurately recorded. The home does not currently have any facilities for the storage of controlled medication. Although no controlled medication is currently being prescribed for any resident in the home this situation could change suddenly and without any warning. The manager must satisfy himself that in such an eventuality legally acceptable storage and administration arrangements could be in place in time to ensure that the required standards for the storage and administration of such controlled medication would be met. Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23.

EVIDENCE: A comprehensive complaints policy and procedure is in place and is well publicised to both residents and to those responsible for them. One complaint received by the home since the previous inspection was properly investigated and was not upheld. Staff receive training in issues and procedures around the protection of vulnerable adults. Since the last inspection there have been two incidents concerning adult protection, which have been the subject of joint agency investigations, one of which remains ongoing. Copies of the Hertfordshire joint agency adult protection procedures were seen to be freely available for all staff. Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 and 30. People who use this service receive good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The physical design and layout of the home enables the residents to live in a safe, well-maintained and comfortable environment, which encourages independence. EVIDENCE: On the day of this unannounced inspection the home with one minor exception was found to be clean and tidy, to be well maintained and to have a homely feel and appearance. Areas of the extractor hood over the cooker were found to be sticky, with caked dust. The frequency of the cleaning of this extractor appliance must be increased to ensure that an acceptable level of cleanliness and safety is maintained at all times. The building, formally a merchants house but renovated to its present format in the late Victorian period has large rooms and high ceilings which provide a Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 very special environment for its residents for whom the spaciousness gives good advantages to the meeting of their particular needs. The new manager is to be complimented for meeting the considerable challenges poised by this building which was found to be well maintained subject to a routine maintenance programme, to be appropriately furnished in a comfortable attractive and homely manner and to meet the residents needs and provide an attractive and safe environment. Risk assessments for various aspects of the building were seen to be compiled with good detail and to be regularly reviewed. Good attention was paid to the various security aspects poised by the building and by the needs of some of the residents. Individual resident bedrooms seen by the inspector were comfortably appointed in a style and manner, which reflected the resident’s own tastes and wishes. One resident who showed the inspector his collection of pot plants, which were thriving on a large sunny windowsill in his room, said “ I like it here, this is my home and I’m happy”. Another resident who has just returned from her part time employment was proud to show off her brightly decorated room to the inspector and she commented on the beautiful views of the trees and the gardens which she had from her windows. Repairs to the lounge ceiling which had been caused by an overhead water leak had recently been repaired and new furnishings, sofas, and carpets had been obtained and works to complete the redecorations were waiting for completion.

The recruitment practices are robust thereby offering protection to the people who use this service. EVIDENCE: The home is fortunate in being able to retain a stable core group of staff who are experienced, regularly undertake training and who were, on the day of this inspection, seen to be working well together as a team. The manager explained that having benefited from a completely stable staff group for a period exceeding twelve months the home was about to experience staff changes due to the imminent departure of three members on maternity leave. He demonstrated that adequate cover arrangements were in place and Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 shared with the inspector a letter that he had sent to all residents and to their relatives explaining these changes. Staff spoken with confirmed to the inspector that they were well supported by the homes managers and by the clarity of the working policies and procedures, which they are expected to follow. They confirmed that their full participation is encouraged at the homes regularly held staff meetings and that they also have bi- monthly supervision meetings with a manager along with an annual appraisal. Minutes and records examined by the inspector confirmed these findings. A training needs profile is compiled for each member of staff and the records examined evidenced their attendance on this training. The home currently has 33 of its staff holding a professional qualification at NVQ level 2 and with several other staff due to complete this training by the end of the year this percentage should rise to or just exceed the required 50 standard. Recruitment records for recently employed staff were examined and were seen to be satisfactory with all the required checks and documentation in place. The manager confirmed that the homes are assisted in their recruitment processes by the Care Tech human relations team. He also explained that recent advertisements for staff now resulted in a number of applications from experienced and qualified workers and that he was, along with another home manager interviewing for new staff on the day following this inspection. One recently appointed senior worker who holds NVQ qualifications at level 3 and who has several years experience in a number of similar work settings confirmed to the inspector that her interview and recruitment arrangements had been handled professionally by the company and the homes manager and said that this was one of the reasons why she had chosen to come to Morvan House. Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39 and 42. People who use this service experience good quality outcomes in this area.

There is a well-developed system of quality assurance in place to gain the views of the people using the service. EVIDENCE: Although only appointed as Manager of Morvan House twelve months ago the new manager had previously held similar management posts and has applied to the Commission for registration. He is part way through his studies for the Registered Managers Award qualification. The manager explained that he Morven House DS0000019475.V340971.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 chose to come to work at Morvan House as he recognised that his experience, skills and interests in the management of challenging behaviours in which he holds special training qualifications, could be put to good use in the home. In his discussions with the inspector he was able to demonstrate a clear sense of direction for the home and to evidence that the revision of many of the homes working arrangements, polices, procedures and care plans over the past year had assisted with the development of this new direction. There appeared to be a good understanding of equality and diversity issues and a grasp of the complexity and varying stands of these issues. Operational procedures of the home were found to be working smoothly; these were assisted by the accurate keeping of the records, the organisation of which was found to be extremely well managed with close attention to detail. The recent in-house Care Tech audit resulted in a 99 achievement. This good record keeping also promotes the safety and protection of the services users health and welfare. Comments received from relatives and stakeholders in the home confirmed the sound management arrangements and good communication between them.
