What the care home does well

Nutley Hall offers a good standard of accommodation in a beautiful setting, and also offering residents the opportunity to get out into the wider community. The quality and quantity of the food is very good. There are two cooks and a group of residents that cook the main meal of the day in the main house and distributed between the various houses, but the evening and weekend meals are prepared and cooked in the individual dwellings. All the houses and flats have well equipped kitchen and dining areas.The workshops within the community are offering residents the opportunity to acquire skills, have a meaningful and stimulating day with a sense of achievement. The residents have a choice of activities and many attend more that one workshop per day. Nutley Hall is excellent at ensuring that new residents settle in and responds well to any difficulties. Nutley Hall was found to provide good support and the management team and staff are good at ensuring residents have a good and comfortable life. The management team are well skilled and operates in an open and inclusive way, supporting both residents and staff and continue to improve the service based on seeking the views of those involved with Nutley Hall. Besides the work ethos, Nutley Hall offers many opportunities for leisure and cultural activities including sport, music and drama.

He stated that is enjoyed the activities especially clowning, plays, festivals and outings. Nutley Hall has a large assembly hall in which many of the activities take place.

What has improved since the last inspection?

It was recommended at the last inspection that the home review the `residents` guide` to be produced into a more readily accessible format. The home undertook this review and produced pro-type version in symbols and words. However, the residents and prospective residents did not find this vehicle of communication helpful and in fact the new resident`s family reported that it was not helpful or informative. The majority of the residents do have reading skills and others would prefer the information to be available audibly. There are plans to have available audio recording to be played in-conjunction with the home`s Statement of Purpose. The care plans are reviewed regularly and there are discussions within the staff teams to streamline information and have a common format throughout the community. It was evident that the reorganisation of care plans is are a project in progress and some good work has been undertaken.

What the care home could do better:

There is a need for supervision contracts to be written for staff, which would explain what was the home`s policy and expectations of the supervision, and the outcomes with regards to the National Minimum Standard (36). Nutley Hall could review the traditional terminology regarding staff.

The Main House is a detached Victorian building set in three acres of grounds. The home was founded in 1959 as a residential centre for people with learning disabilities, set up to run and developed according to anthroposophical principles that seek to optimize physical and mental health and well being in each individual. The home is situated on the A22 in the centre of the village of Nutley about five miles north of Uckfield and overlooks the Ashdown forest. In addition to the residents accommodation there a number of different workshops and a bakery with shop, which is open to the public. Nutley Hall is essentially a community of residents and staff living and working together which has grown and developed organically over a number of years. Several staff and service users have lived at Nutley Hall for many years. The organisational structure is non-hierarchical although the Registered Manager is ultimately responsible for running the service. The current scales of fees range from £ 558 to £910 per week. Nutley Hall DS0000021176.V325764.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The Care Standards Act 2000 and Care Homes Regulations 2001, uses the term ‘service user’ to describe those living in care home settings. For the purpose of this report, those living at Nutley Hall are referred to as ‘residents’. Also the reader should be aware that the traditional term used at Nutley Hall for senior support staff is ‘houseparent’. This report reflects a key inspection based on the collation of information received since the last inspection and an unannounced site visit conducted by an Inspector on the 17th January 2007. The site visit included a tour of the premises and the workshops. The inspector undertook an examination of various records including medication, care and staffing records. The Inspector met with the manager, management team, staff members on duty and residents at various venues throughout the day, which included the individual houses, the community meeting and in the workshops. The residents were sent a ‘Have your say’ about Nutley Hall survey, and nine were returned, and from information gathered residents were very happy with the care they received. Residents requested to see the inspector, and they were interviewed and their comments were very positive about Nutley Hall with one resident saying: “ I like living here very much, everything is lovely here, if I was unhappy I would talk to Paul (The manager).” Another resident stated that “It’s lovely, and we have a good houseparent, I like bowling and going to the cinema”. Also a resident that has only lived in the home two weeks was also interviewed in the workshops, and the inspector was invited to have lunch in the resident’s house. It was evident to the inspector that the resident had settled in very well in such a short time. What the service does well: Nutley Hall offers a good standard of accommodation in a beautiful setting, and also offering residents the opportunity to get out into the wider community. The quality and quantity of the food is very good. There are two cooks and a group of residents that cook the main meal of the day in the main house and distributed between the various houses, but the evening and weekend meals are prepared and cooked in the individual dwellings.

The inspector during this inspection visit reviewed the staffing records of the two staff members and the recruitment documentation held was in order. The manager informed the inspector that 17 staff and undertaken supervision training, and ‘peer supervision’ has been in place for two years with staff of an equal status supervising each other. Some staff had returned from the supervision training with the expectation that supervision was totally confidential between the supervisor and supervisee. The inspector and the manager had the discussion regarding this situation, and the need for formal supervision to be undertaken by senior staff. There should also be supervision contract written, which would explain what was the home’s policy and expectations of the supervision, and the outcome with regards to the National Minimum Standard (36). Residential staff are referred to as ‘house parents’ this term does not accurately reflect practice in this adult service, and is an out dated term.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39 & 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. Nutley Hall is openly and exceptionally well managed in the best interests of residents who are fully involved in the running of the home.

The Registered Provider(s) must comply with the given timescales. No. 1 Standard YA36 Regulation 18(2) Requirement It is required that the registered manager ensure all staff have a supervision contract, which would explain the home’s policy and expectations of the supervision, and the outcome with regards to the National Minimum Standards. Timescale for action 01/07/07 RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations relate to National Minimum Standards and are seen as good practice for the Registered Provider/s to consider carrying out.
