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

There is a good, friendly relationship between staff and residents. Attentive and prompt care is provided and staff members have time to spend with residents and to get to know them well. The standard of individual care is good. A range of activities is provided and residents receive good and varied food. The home is very well maintained and clean. It provides a comfortable and welcoming environment. Visitors are warmly welcomed into the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The deputy manager has been in post since March 2005 and has quickly developed her knowledge of the home, the staff and residents. She is currently undertaking the registered managers award and hopes to complete the training by the end of 2005. Formal supervision for staff is regularly being provided. All staff members who administer medication have recently undertaken refresher training and four senior staff members are currently completing more in-depth training regarding medication administration. All staff members have received training on the protection of vulnerable adults and six members of staff are currently completing NVQ training. Individual needs assessment and care plan information has been completed in fuller detail since last inspection and accurately reflects the care provided. Residents` wishes concerning terminal care and arrangements after death have been discussed and recorded for almost all residents.

What the care home could do better:

The information in the statement of purpose and service user guide needs to provide fuller information for prospective and existing service users to ensure they have the necessary information to make an informed choice about where to live. The statement of purpose and service user guide should accurately reflect the service and facilities provided. As part of an effective quality assurance and quality monitoring system Mount Pleasant should periodically seek the views of residents and stakeholders and publish the results of the surveys. The recording of medication could be improved to ensure medication is given as prescribed and paper towels could replace linen towels at hand wash areas to minimise the risk of cross infection.

Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 the following standard(s): 1,2,4 and 5 The statement of purpose and service user guide, do not accurately reflect the facilities and service provided and need to be re-written. They do not provide prospective residents with up to date and necessary information to make an informed choice about where to live. The process of moving new residents into the home is well managed to ensure that people moving in, and their relatives, know what to expect and that their needs will be met at the home. At the point of moving into the home each resident is provided with a clearly written contract/statement of terms and conditions stating the rights and obligations of the resident and the registered provider. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 EVIDENCE: Each resident has a copy of the statement of purpose in the their care file along with a copy of their terms and conditions of residency and a copy of the residents charter of rights. The statement of purpose and service user guide, were checked. They need to be rewritten to accurately reflect the services and facilities provided. The statement of purpose referred to a previous registered manager. The service user guide did not state room sizes, the relevant qualifications and experience of the registered provider, manager and staff, nor did it provide a copy of the most recent inspection report, a copy of the complaints procedure and residents’ views of the home. See Recommendation 1. Each resident is given a contract or statement of terms and conditions of residency when they move into the home. This states their room number, what services are covered by the fee, and outlines their rights and obligations as well as those of the registered provider. Three recent examples of statements of terms and conditions of residency were seen and two were clear and explicit. Advice was given at feedback to the inspection regarding the third example which did not give the correct contact telephone number for the Commission for Social Care Inspection and did not state the amount to which personal property was insured. Three care files of residents recently admitted were checked. They provided full information and the reason for each admission was clearly stated. Pre – assessment documentation had been compiled with the help of social services representatives, hospital staff, staff at Mount Pleasant, residents and their relatives. This information had been built upon during the first weeks of care to provide comprehensive information to enable care staff to provide individualised care and support and to meet the needs and wishes of residents. Initial assessments had been completed in residents’ own homes or in hospital and when possible prospective residents and their supporters had been encouraged to have introductory and trial visits to assess the facilities and suitability of the home. During the course of the inspection staff members were observed to have the skills and experience to deliver the services and care which the home offers to provide. Staff members were seen to anticipate needs and to provide, prompt courteous care and attention. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,9, and 11 The care plans checked showed that residents have access to a wide range of professional help to meet their health care needs. Residents are looked after well in respect of their health and personal care needs and care records accurately reflect the care and attention provided. Recording of administration of medication needs to be improved so that it can be established that; each resident is in receipt of their medication as prescribed. Residents’ wishes concerning terminal care and arrangements after death have been discussed and recorded for almost all residents so that they can feel confident that their wishes will be met and their death will be handled with dignity and propriety. EVIDENCE: The care file documentation showed that there are positive working relationships between staff at Mount Pleasant and care professionals including general practitioners and community nursing staff. The daily care notes accurately recorded the care provided and identified changing needs. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 One care file in particular provided evidence of very careful monitoring of health and fluctuating levels of confusion, which helped to accurately identify a severe adverse reaction to medication and resulted in alerting the General Practitioner to the problem. Residents had been referred to specialist health care services as necessary and detailed records were kept of the outcome of health care visits to ensure staff members were aware of changing needs and could provide appropriate care and support. Residents’ plans of care provided well- written medical and social history details. They accurately described all personal care needs and provided evidence of monitoring. The daily records documented any changes and significant events and provided evidence of continuity of care throughout the various staff shifts. All the recent medication administration records were checked. The home uses a monitored dosage system for medication administration and all staff members involved in the administration of medication had received recent refresher training to update their skills and knowledge. Four senior staff members were also completing more advanced and comprehensive medication training. Despite this good practice there were several unexplained gaps on the medication administration records. Staff members were recording the medication to be given as required in various ways and not in accordance with the home policy. One medication administration record did not contain a photograph of the resident to aid identification and correction fluid had inappropriately been used to correct an error in recording. See Recommendation 2. There is a procedures manual in the home, which provides clear and concise guidance about the care of the dying and about bereavement. In all but two cases, residents’ wishes concerning terminal care and arrangements after death have been discussed with service users and their families and have been recorded in care files. The home intends to gain this sensitive information for the last two individuals shortly, so that all residents can be confident that their wishes will be carried out and their death will be handled with dignity and propriety. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 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 the following standard(s): 12 and 15 Residents are able to make choices about their daily lives including taking part in a wide range of activities, so they can keep active and retain their interests. The quality of the food is very good. Alternative meals and special diets are available so that all service users have a varied and nutritious diet of food that they enjoy. EVIDENCE: Residents confirmed that they could choose to take part in activities as they wished. Details of the activities available are displayed on notice boards in the home. The range of options posted for November included participating in a games afternoon, listening to a musical entertainer, attending a clothes party and birthday party celebrations and watching popular films. Residents and staff confirmed that they were looking forward to a Christmas meal on 2nd December at a pub in the neighbouring village of Kingsley. Many of the residents spoken with were complimentary about the standard and choice of food provided and visitors to the home confirmed that their relatives’ appetites had improved since entering the home and that their relatives had benefited greatly from the nutritious range of wholesome food provided. The cook discusses meal choices every day with each resident. Residents’ individual food preferences and dislikes are well known and alternatives are always offered and provided. Relatives are able to dine with residents by request. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 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.

Staff members are aware regarding the protection of vulnerable adults and know how to safeguard residents. EVIDENCE: A residents’ charter of rights is included at the front of each care file. This details eighteen different rights with regard to choice, responsibility for taking risks, the right to personal privacy, independence and dignity. Residents are encouraged to take part in decision- making and to manage their own medication and finances as far as possible. Staff members ensure residents are involved in their formal reviews and have access to the formal complaints procedure. Residents are registered with a local G.P of their own choice and are enabled to vote in elections by being escorted to polling stations of by use of postal voting. Management staff at Mount Pleasant can direct residents and their family members to local advocacy services who can provide information, and assistance. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

There is a routine programme of maintenance; redecoration and renewal to ensure all areas in the home are kept clean, cared for and comfortable. Advice was given regarding a small amount of redecoration work necessary, where wheelchair movement had badly scuffed paintwork near doorways dividing two lounge areas. Since the last inspection all bathrooms, toilets and the lounge, the kitchen and a hallway have been redecorated. One bedroom has also been redecorated and carpeted very recently. Mount Pleasant DS0000006622.V254202.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 To reduce the risk of cross infection the introduction of a hand-wash-basin to a downstairs toilet near to bedroom 3 was discussed. Although this area is small and space is limited, this could be achieved by removing the existing radiator. The risk of cross infection could also be minimised by removing linen towels from shared bathrooms and toilets and using paper towels instead with suitable waste bins provided. See Recommendation 3. The grounds are extremely well maintained, attractive and accessible to residents and provide a peaceful setting. All bedrooms were checked and were of various shapes and sizes. All bedrooms were furnished to a good standard and were clean and personalised. Residents are encouraged to bring along small personal items to make their own rooms, homely and comfortable. The bedroom furniture had been arranged to suit individual needs and to enable personal care and assistance.

The proprietors and managers are approachable and accessible and are involved in the running of the home on a daily basis to share the responsibilities. Six staff members are currently working towards NVQ level 2 training and dementia care training for staff members is currently planned to take place in early 2006. Feedback questionnaires have been circulated to relatives as part of a quality monitoring exercise and to seek the views of relatives regarding the standard of care provided. Unfortunately there was a poor written response. This was possibly because relatives are already in close contact and liaison with the home, on a regular basis. The management staff intend to re-issue questionnaires and to explain that surveys are part of a plan to continually monitor service provision. It will be made clear that results of the survey are to be included within the service user guide to provide useful information to existing and prospective residents and other stakeholders.
