This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The assimilation of information was used to assess the key standards that are identified in the National Minimum Standards, including: the pre inspection questionnaire (completed by registered manager) and an unannounced inspection visit to the service. (Unfortunately no questionnaires from service users and only one comment card from a service users’ relative was returned). During the visit to the home four service users’ files were examined, including the most recent person to go and live at Newfield Lodge and discussions took place with some of the service users throughout the day. There was the opportunity to observe the care provided to the service users and the interaction between them and the staff. The registered manager was available throughout the day and there was the opportunity to have conversations with other staff members including the deputy manager and some of the care staff. The homes policies, procedures and all other documentation including health and safety files and certificates were examined as well as a full tour of the home being carried out. Generally the home is of a very good standard, however one concern was identified during the visit and the registered manger was informed of this. (See standard 9). What the service does well:
There is a consistent staff team, with few staff changes, helping to maintain continuity and familiarisation for the service users. The organisation provides good training opportunities and the staff are well trained and skilled to provide a good level of care to vulnerable people. The premises are very well maintained to a good standard. There is a calm, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere within the home and it is apparent that good relationships exist between the service users and the staff. The home has good quality assurance monitoring systems in place and they have also maintained the ‘Investors in People Award’, which is a quality assurance-monitoring organisation.

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): 3 (intermediate care is not provided) “Quality in this outcome area is ‘Good’. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service”. There is a thorough pre admission process in place, helping to ensure that individuals are properly and adequately assessed, in order to meet their needs. EVIDENCE: Three service users’ files were examined including the most recent person to come to live at Newfield Lodge and all of their files contained relevant assessment documentation including: admission assessments, care plans and up to date daily record sheets. A thorough and robust pre-admission process was in place and in discussion with the manager it was clear that the process is successfully used for all new service users who to come to live at Newfield Lodge. A document entitled ‘New Resident Checklist’ is used for all new service users, which includes a list of relevant, concise and important questions, to ensure
Newfield Lodge Rest Home DS0000064313.V304320.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 that as much information as possible is gathered to ensure that a persons assessed needs will be met. Relevant and appropriate risk assessments were drawn up along with an in depth care plan, which are used to help ensure that the persons assessed needs are being appropriately met. Newfield Lodge Rest Home DS0000064313.V304320.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10. “Quality in this outcome area is ‘Adequate’. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service”. The home works in partnership with other agencies to ensure that service users’ health needs are fully assessed and addressed. The administration of the controlled drugs was not adequately recorded, this could cause potential harm to service users. Service users are empowered where possible to administer their own medication, thereby promoting independence and choice. Equality, dignity and respect is actively and positively demonstrated in the way that care is provided. EVIDENCE: Service users’ care plans were examined and were found to be up to date, containing relevant information with clear guidance on how to provide individual personal care and how to meet a person’s health care needs.
Newfield Lodge Rest Home DS0000064313.V304320.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Individual information was also available with regard to service users’ specific health needs and there was evidence that, hospital appointments, GP’s appointments and other treatments and consultations with other health professionals had been carried out. This helps to demonstrate that people’s health needs are monitored and treated correctly when necessary. During the inspection visit a service user was overheard asking one of the staff, “When will my next appointment for the hospital be?” the member of staff was able to answer immediately and then went to check, she returned within minutes and gave the service user full details of forthcoming appointments, what they were for and who with. Another person was coughing and a staff member said “I think we will make an appointment with your doctor, to get that cough seen too” and then the member of staff spent some time reassuring the person. It was evident that nothing was rushed or hurried and people were listened to and given time to respond. Care plans and risk assessments are reviewed monthly, helping to demonstrate that individuals’ health and personal care needs are regularly monitored and assessed, in order to ensure that they are adequately provided for. The medicines were stored safely, securely and were well organised with all medication being properly labelled and files containing service users’ photographs, helping to avoid any confusion when administering medication. The records for the general prescribed medicines were up to date and correct, however the controlled drugs record book had not been signed the previous evening for the medication given and although the medication process in general was detailed and thorough, this oversight means that this standard is not adequately met. The registered manager was informed of this error during the visit. For the service users who are able to self medicate, there were signed contracts/agreements in place between them and the provider, confirming that individuals are responsible for taking their own medication. Highlighting that when possible, individuals are supported and enabled to be independent. In observation throughout the visit, service users were treated respectfully and with dignity and some comments received were, “The care my mother receives is excellent” “everything is perfect” and one other person said, “you will not find anything wrong here”. Newfield Lodge has a calm and pleasant atmosphere, with attentive, caring and supportive staff.

This person said, “It was the best birthday I have had for years, I was looked after, they made a fuss of me and the cake was lovely” Newfield Lodge Rest Home DS0000064313.V304320.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Complaints and Protection
