Also see our care home review for Newburgh Road, 13 for more information

This inspection was carried out on 4th July 2006.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is (sorry - unknown). The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done. The inspector also made 9 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

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

The Home is reasonably domestic despite its relatively large size. Service users are treated as individuals and their individual needs are assessed and generally met. Care plans are thorough and well presented, with regular reviews taking place. The Registered Manager has introduced some excellent shift leader training and medication competency assessments. A fairly thorough internal quality assurance system is in place, and thorough Regulation 26 visits are undertaken, sometimes by a senior manager of the organisation.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Internal door surfaces have been cleaned. Staff have received additional training in medication administration. Most of the outstanding maintenance issues have been undertaken. Regulation 37 reports are being sent to the CSCI were appropriate. Each service users has an activity timetable written in consultation with them. Two service users now attend a day centre for older people. Shift Leader assessments and training have been put in place.

What the care home could do better:

The registration of the home must be changed so that it reflects reality as only 7 service users are ever accommodated. The records of the home must show what food was eaten by which service users on a daily basis. There are too many gaps in the record at present. The records of medication returned to the pharmacist must be better maintained. The trip hazard in the kitchen floor must be made good urgently. When new agency employees are inducted into the work of the home, adequate records of this procedure must be kept. When new permanent employees are recruited the home must be provided with the necessary evidence that all appropriate checks have been undertaken by the Human Resources Department of Ealing Consortium. The home must aim to have at least 50% of the care staff with NVQ level 2 or 3 qualifications. All staff including agency employees must be appropriately supervised at the correct frequency.

Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was a key inspection that looked in particular at the identified key National Minimum Standards (NMS) for younger adults in registered care homes. The Inspector spent most of one day in the care home, interviewed the Registered Manager in depth, spoke to three other staff members and two service users, and examined a range of records including case-tracking one service user’s care plan file. There have been no changes to the occupancy of the home. Two support worker posts are vacant, hence agency staff are sometimes being used at the present time. The home’s performance was assessed against 24 of the NMS, and the Inspector found that 16 of the outcomes were fully met, whilst 8 outcomes were only partially met. This led to the Inspector making 8 requirements, one of which is restated from the previous inspection as the requirement had not been achieved within the timescale set, and one recommendation. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? Internal door surfaces have been cleaned. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Staff have received additional training in medication administration. Most of the outstanding maintenance issues have been undertaken. Regulation 37 reports are being sent to the CSCI were appropriate. Each service users has an activity timetable written in consultation with them. Two service users now attend a day centre for older people. Shift Leader assessments and training have been put in place. What they could do better: The registration of the home must be changed so that it reflects reality as only 7 service users are ever accommodated. The records of the home must show what food was eaten by which service users on a daily basis. There are too many gaps in the record at present. The records of medication returned to the pharmacist must be better maintained. The trip hazard in the kitchen floor must be made good urgently. When new agency employees are inducted into the work of the home, adequate records of this procedure must be kept. When new permanent employees are recruited the home must be provided with the necessary evidence that all appropriate checks have been undertaken by the Human Resources Department of Ealing Consortium. The home must aim to have at least 50 of the care staff with NVQ level 2 or 3 qualifications. All staff including agency employees must be appropriately supervised at the correct frequency.

Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities; are part of the community; have appropriate personal, and family relationships; their rights and responsibilities are respected; and they are provided with a reasonably healthy diet, but better records of food eaten are required. EVIDENCE: The Inspector continued to case track the care records on one specific service user. The Inspector found that the service user, and one other service user, had started attending an Age Concern Day Centre. At this centre, the service user undertook keep fit exercises, dancing, games, bowling and bingo. Whilst in the care home, the service user enjoyed knitting and along with the other service users was involved with laundry and cleaning duties within the home. The Inspector noted that each service user has been consulted about their interests and that an individual activity timetable has been produced for each service user. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The Registered Manager reported that two service users have employment in other care homes operated by Ealing Consortium, and that communal activities offered include shopping, pub trips and outings. The Registered Manager added that all the service users are registered to vote, all hold keys to their own bedrooms, and most service users have positive relationships with family and friends. The Inspector examined the home’s food menu and records for the last four weeks. He found that each week’s records of who ate what contained some gaps. Requirement 2.

Dietary needs are discussed in staff meetings. One service user sees a dietician. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 and 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users receive personal care in the way they choose, their mental and physical health needs are met, and they are generally sufficiently protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines, except that the recording of medication returned to the pharmacist must be improved. EVIDENCE: The Inspector continued to case-track the care records of one service user. The Inspector found that the service users’ personal care requirements and wishes concerning bathing were adequately recorded. Likewise the service user’s health needs were identified, he received depot injections on site given by a community psychiatric nurse, his medication had been periodically reviewed by a consultant psychiatrist, and he had received physiotherapy in the past. The last six monthly care plan review included sections on dentistry, diet, chiropody, and physical and mental health. Regarding medication, the Inspector noted that he had recently received two Regulation 37 reports concerning the incorrect dose of medication given to service users. The reasons behind this were examined in detail by the Inspector who concluded that the Registered Manager had taken all appropriate steps to minimize the likelihood of it happening again. These steps Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 included additional training for all staff in medication by the Boots pharmacist, and excellent medication competency assessments for all staff that are to be undertaken annually. The Registered Manager reported that staff who have made medication errors have had a written warning in line with Ealing consortium’s disciplinary procedure. The Inspector examined the storage of medication within the home and the records of its administration. The Inspector found errors in the records of medication returned to the pharmacist. In one case the pharmacist’s representative had taken the spare medication but had not taken the record sheet that listed what was being returned. On other occasions this duplicated record sheet did not show the name of the care home or give the date of the collection. It is the responsibility of the staff in the care home to see that the proper procedure is followed and proper recording maintained when medication is being returned. Requirement 3. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 and 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users’ views are listened to and acted on; and service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm by the policies and procedures the home has in place. EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager reported that no complaints had been received by the home since before the previous CSCI inspection. The Registered Manager also reported that all staff members had received training in the Protection of Vulnerable Adults during the last three years. The Inspector verified this by examining the home’s training plan. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and generally safe environment that is clean and hygienic. The exception is the kitchen floor. EVIDENCE: The Inspector toured the home’s premises. They were seen to be clean, including the internal doors that had previously been dirty. Maintenance work that had been necessary at the previous inspection had mostly been undertaken. An important exception is the inspection cover in the kitchen floor that remains a trip hazard. Requirement 4 is restated from the previous inspection. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 34, 35 and 36 Quality in this outcome area is poor This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users are not sufficiently protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. This is because the home does not have the records to demonstrate that appropriate recruitment checks have been undertaken on new permanent staff. In addition the home does not keep a record of the induction training that is provided to new agency employees working at the care home. Neither are agency employees allowed by Ealing Consortium to be supervised by anyone within the care home less employment rights are deemed to have been conferred. Nor is the frequency of supervision of permanent staff, and the ratio of NVQ trained staff, sufficient. EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager provided the Inspector with details of which support worker staff are currently qualified with NVQ level 2 or 3 in Care. Only 2 out of 8 current staff are so qualified, that is 25 , although additional staff members are undertaking or about to start the qualification. Recommendation 1. The Inspector examined the home’s training records. The Registered Manager reported that the home has two support worker vacancies. In addition a new support worker has recently commenced work at the home. The Inspector examined the recruitment file for this person but it Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 did not contain an indication that appropriate recruitment checks had been undertaken as this information had not been sent to the home by Ealing Consortium’s Human Resources Department, despite it having been requested by email by the Registered Manager. Requirement 5. The Registered Manager reported that it is currently necessary for the home to use agency employees. The Inspector observed evidence that the agency used provides the Registered Manager with details of recruitment checks they have undertaken on their staff. The Registered Manager informed the Inspector that new agency staff were subject to an induction process within the care home, but no records could be produced to demonstrate which agency employees had received which induction training aspects, on which days. Requirement 6. The Inspector did however observe full induction training records for the new permanent employee. The Inspector requested to see the supervision records kept on permanent employees. He noted substantial gaps in the two records seen, one being a four month gap. The NMS specify formal supervision must take place at least 6 times per year, and the home’s policy is for monthly supervision. Requirement 7. The Registered Manager reported that Ealing Consortium have said that long term agency employees working in their care homes can no longer receive supervision from a member of Ealing Consortium’s staff less this be construed as confering employment rights. The Care Home Regulations however state in section 18(2) that the registered person shall ensure that persons working at the care home are appropriately supervised. Requirement 8. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 and 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users benefit from a well run home; their views are taken into account; and their health and safety is promoted. EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager reported that he is undertaking the A1 NVQ assessor’s award and will be commencing the Registered Managers Award training in February 2007. The Inspector observed and commends the home’s internal quality assurance system. Thorough and searching Regulation 26 visits are also undertaken, which is also commended. Ealing Consortium produce an annual plan for the organisation as a whole but which includes individual targets for certain homes. Service users are formally consulted on an annual basis. Newburgh Road, 13 DS0000027736.V300767.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The Inspector checked the records of hot water, fridge and freezer temperatures. He found that a recent fault had developed in the fridge thermometer but the Registered Manager was already aware of the issue and was planning to replace the faulty item. The inspector checked a First Aid box that was adequately stocked. The Health and Safety trip hazard in the kitchen is reported on elsewhere, see Requirement 4.
