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 adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is evidence in the Care Plan of health care treatment and intervention, and a record of general health care information. There are some gaps in information but staff are able to think in a person centred way and are able to give a verbal update. People living at the home are generally involved in the care planning/ reviewing process. People living at the home are able to access primary and secondary healthcare services. The staff properly manage and administer medication. People living at the home feel they are treated with respect. EVIDENCE: People who use the service responded well to the question from our survey about whether they get enough care and support.
New Cote Rest Home DS0000026512.V345128.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Comments included: ‘They look after me well’, ‘The staff are very good here’ and: ‘they look after us well here’. There was a range of new documentation available in the individual service user care files. Three peoples’ care was tracked and their care plans closely looked at. Care plans were patchy in the level of detail, actions and outcomes recorded. One record indicated that the resident had diabetes in the initial assessment. However there was no detailed care plan for the support required for this in the areas of medical condition, diet or foot care (chiropody). With regards of signs and symptoms to look out for such as, how staff would manage hypo or hyper episodes. This was discussed with the manager and was actioned during the inspection. Another persons record tracked had gained a significant weight over a short time and this was causing mobility problems. An action plan was in place for this. In the three care documents tracked there was evidence for two representatives involvement in the compiling the care plans. The practice of obtaining a signature from the resident and/or their representative has progressed following the last inspection. Discussion took place with the manager to ensure progress in the recording of all care plans. Risk assessments are now being reviewed on a regular basis evidenced in two of the records viewed. However, the other one did not have a signature from the resident or their relatives indicating their involvement. Reasons for this not to be undertaken must be included in the plan of care. A previous requirement about weight monitoring had been met. There was monthly recording and actions relating to this being undertaken. The inspector viewed the medication management this evidenced accurate records for the receipt, storage and disposal of medications. There where no people self medicating. The homes policy for this was viewed and found to be thorough. Therefore safe- guarding people who may use this as a choice for their medication. The last Pharmacy check was undertaken on 07/09/07. All was found to be correct. All residents are registered with a local GP with the home and the inspector was advised there was a good working relationship. There have been recent referrals to the PCT Physiotherapy. The Chiropodist visits residents in the home. New Cote Rest Home DS0000026512.V345128.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Survey comments from eight health professionals include ‘New Cote is very well organized’, ‘the residents receive very personal care’, ‘New Cote is very well run’, ‘New Cote provides very good, compassionate care to residents’, ‘residents are given time when required to and are dealt with professionally, patiently and discreetly’. During the inspection staff were observed to knock and wait before entering service user bedrooms and toilet doors. Staff and service user interactions were seen to be friendly and supportive. The majority of service user comments indicated staff ‘were courteous’ and ‘respectful’. Another service user informed the inspector that when they used the call bell ‘it was answered promptly’. Survey responses from nine relatives/advocates include: ‘Good help with care and welfare of my loved one’, ‘always keeping in touch with me if there are any problems’, ‘we have had several instances where the care has been exceptional’. Another survey response highlighted that ‘ we would like to be contacted by telephone and not have to wait until a visit to the home for information relating to change in medical condition being told’, ‘communication could be better- information between carers is ad hoc’. General information from the surveys was shared with the manager during the inspection. The response was that she would ensure that all staff are made aware of this and work on making changes if required to the systems of communication. New Cote Rest Home DS0000026512.V345128.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): 12, 13, 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. New Cote Rest Home enables residents to maintain contact with family, friends and the local community and take part in organised activities within the home. However residents would benefit further from being fully consulted about the choice of activities they would prefer so that the home matches their expectations and preferences. Visitors are made very welcome and meals are well managed and provide daily variation, and good nutrition for people. EVIDENCE: New Cote has a member of staff who undertakes two afternoon sessions of activities per week. It was noted that on the day of inspection there was no planned activities. However the hairdresser was visiting and undertaking a number of appointments. There is a diary for activities with entries of what has taken place.
New Cote Rest Home DS0000026512.V345128.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 On observing the month of September it was noted that there were entries of quizzes, games and reminiscence therapy, one resident said it was “very boring” and that she’ spent her time watching TV in her room’. The TV in the lounge was not on and three residents who were in there were quite happy it was off. Another resident said that he ‘chose not to participate in any of the activities as they weren’t his cup of tea”. Comments from our survey included ‘ I would like to have trips out from the home’. From comments from our survey for relatives, carers and advocates ’offers of activities are not usually taken up by my loved one’, ‘ my loved one wishes to go out more often, possible out to the theatre’, There was information around the home of planned activities to promote them to the resident’s. It was noted that there was a planned Bonfire Supper with Fire Works for November. Three people where looking forward to this. With discussion with the manager she stated that there where plans to increase the hours worked by our activities co ordinator. One visitor said they were ‘able to visit their relatives at any time, and generally do this on a daily basis around the lunchtime period’, another person said ‘their family lived nearby and visited often’. There was evidence in the signing book of various times of the day when visitors came to the home. Menus were looked at together with information about meals from the residents meeting in July 07. Seasonal choices were noted. This gave positive compliments from the residents. There is a choice of one main meal at lunchtime and residents were heard being encouraged to make choices about what alternative they wanted if they decided to change their choice. The menu for the day of inspection was a vegetable lasagne with sauté potatoes. The vegetable choices were in serving bowls on the tables for residents to help themselves. The sweet was a Queens Pudding with cream. This was followed by cheese and biscuits and finished with tea or coffee. Cold drinks were provided with the meal. A couple of residents needed to be assisted with the cutting up of their food and assisted from staff members and this was undertaken sensitively and in an unhurried manner. From our survey comments included: ‘Food is very good tasty meals’ ‘I enjoy my food’ ‘Very good food and there is always seconds on offer’ There were no negative comments made. There was evidence that a number of residents had specific dietary needs, yet nutritional assessments are not undertaken. The home must have processes in place to ensure that nutritional needs are met and that, where necessary, there are systems in place to monitor residents’ likes and dislikes, dietary intake and weight loss.
