This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection is the first of key inspections for 2007/08 and took place over six and a half hours on Tuesday 22nd May 2007. It was conducted by one Commission for Social Care Inspection regulation inspector. Twenty five of the thirty eight National Minimum Standards for Older People were inspected. Thirty one people are currently living at the home; and throughout the time of the inspection were observed to be accessing all areas of the home. The registered manager was on the premises and in charge of the building and was supported by three care staff with additional domestic and catering staff. The owner of the home was on the premises during the inspection.

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 Netherwood DS0000020718.V335293.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): OP 1,3,6 Quality in this outcome area is good. The home provides a Statement of Purpose that is specific to the individual home, and the resident group they care for. It clearly sets out the objectives and philosophy of the service and is supported by a Service user Guide. An experienced member of staff always undertakes the pre admission assessment. The assessment is conducted professionally and sensitively and involves the individual, and their family or representative, where appropriate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The statements of purpose and service user guide are included in the homes brochure package and have been updated with the current information including details of the weekly fees for the service from April 2007. The brochure is readily available on request. The case file of the person most recently moving into the home contains an assessment of care needs from which an initial basic plan of care has been
Netherwood DS0000020718.V335293.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 developed. Other case files inspected included pre admission information from the primary care trust, social workers and previous social care placements. One person confirmed that they visited the home with their relatives prior to making the decision to move in. Another person stated that they were willing to let their relatives make the decision as to the suitability of the home with another person stating that the home was ideal for them because of the close vicinity to their family and friends. The home does not provide an intermediate care service. Netherwood DS0000020718.V335293.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): OP 7,8,9,10 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. Each individual has a care plan but the practice of involving people who use the service in the development and review of the plan is variable. The plan includes basic information but is not in sufficient detail or information to ensure that all care needs are effectively met. The care plan does not appear to be used as a working document and does not consistently reflect the care being delivered. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Five case files were selected for inspection, with people being at the home for varying lengths of time. Each person has an individual file with basic personal details, risk assessments, care plans, records of visiting professionals. The daily report in which care staff record daily life is in a separate file. There was little evidence to suggest that the person and/or representative had been involved with the planning and review of their care. Only one plan Netherwood DS0000020718.V335293.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 recorded that discussions had been held with the person and their family when a change of accommodation had been offered. Risk assessments had been carried out for pressure sores, moving and handling and nutrition, however the amount of information, review times and content varied greatly. Where a risk had been identified for maintaining tissue viability, personal safety and nutrition a specific plan of care had not been developed. Four of the five case files inspected evidenced that nutrition and weight losses and gains are not being monitored appropriately with no action taken when a high risk has been identified or when there is a significant loss of weight. The manager stated that the home has only stand on domestic type weighing scales and for people who experience difficulties with mobility or balance it was impossible to monitor their weight effectively. The manager confirmed that records are not made of a person’s daily dietary intake. Another case file indicated that a person has had several recent falls and had been prescribed analgesia for pain; a specific plan of care had not been developed for reducing the risk of further falls or for effective pain management. The content of the care plans were discussed with the manager, who confirmed that most staff had cared for residents over long periods of time and as such have become familiar with the care needs of the individuals. The blister type packaging is used for administering medication in addition to some bottles and boxes of tablets and liquid preparations. The lunchtime medication round was observed with the Medication Administration Record seen to be completed at the point of administration. The minimum/maximum temperatures of the medication fridge are recorded daily and appear to be within normal limits. There is a secure cabinet for the storage of any controlled drugs that may be prescribed. Some personal confidential information regarding the bathing routines of named individuals is openly displayed on the notice board in the corridor by the main office. This was discussed with the manager and action was taken to remove the document from general view. The care staff were observed to be assisting service users with personal care discreetly and in a manner which promotes service users’ dignity. Netherwood DS0000020718.V335293.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): OP 12,13,14,15 Quality in this outcome area is good. People who use services are involved in meaningful daytime activities of their own choice and according to their individual interests and capability The menu could offer more variety and choice to meet the dietary needs of people using the service. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: A monthly activity sheet is produced and displayed on notice boards detailing the activities arranged on a daily basis. One person stated that presently the art and craft group are preparing for the local carnival and commented that it was ‘great fun’. In house religious services are arranged each month, one person described her wish to go to the local church and went on to say that staff are arranging this for her. One person discussed with the inspector the opportunity to play cards with friends on a regular basis something that has been enjoyed over many years. Other people stated that they joined in with some of the arranged activities but at times preferred their ‘own company’.
Netherwood DS0000020718.V335293.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Many visitors were at the home during the morning and afternoon all appeared to be at ease. One visitor stated the home was ‘very friendly and comfortable’ and they were able to visit several times each week. During the tour of the premises many of the bedrooms were very highly personalised with a persons possessions. Information on the advocacy services available within the district are displayed on the notice boards. The dining rooms were prepared in advance, ensuring the meals are taken in a congenial setting. People are encouraged to sit at the table for the main meal, with only the minority of people having the meal served in their rooms. One person did not like the main course prepared for the day, a member of the catering staff discussed the options with this person. A visitor stated that the alternative is generally ham and vegetables and that this person generally has that for lunch. One person stated that they didn’t enjoy the lunch and was not given the option of an alternative, the meal was taken to them by a member of staff and no choice or alternative was offered. One person requested some orange juice but was given a glass of water; staff offered no explanation of why she couldn’t have orange. Other people stated that the food was good. The menu sample in the statement of purpose gave only one choice of fare for lunch and supper with the exception of Saturday lunch and Sunday tea, liver and onions or sausage or quiche or egg salad respectively. However a notice is displayed in the dining room that people should inform with the cook by 10:00 if an alternative meal is preferred.
