What the care home does well

The Old Rectory provides a welcoming homely environment and is well maintained both internally and externally. Staff are friendly and approachable and residents and relatives comfortable in approaching staff for information or help. Care is of a good standard and residents look well cared for and comments from residents and visitors support this. The proprietor and staff communicate well with residents and visitors and visitors said they are kept informed about their relatives. Requests or concerns are responded to positively. The fees for services include chiropody, hairdressing, daily newspapers and social outings. A variety of social activities are provided for residents. Residents are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Staff are provided with training and information on adult abuse during their induction. The results of quality audits are made available to residents. The quality assurance systems within the home continue to develop with themed audits planned for 2006.

What the care home could do better:

Residents should have individual care plans which identify their social preferences and record details of their participation in social activities. Life stories or life histories of residents should be recorded so staff have important information about them and aid the planning of social care. The downstairs bathroom would benefit from redecoration. The quality of lighting in the downstairs corridor could be improved to further protect the safety of residents. Staff should wear identification badges to aid residents or visitors to identify them.

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): 1, 2 and 3 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Information is available for residents and their representatives. Residents’ needs are assessed prior to moving in. EVIDENCE: Residents were not routinely provided with a copy of the statement of purpose, though a copy of this was available. Relatives confirmed they were provided with a statement of purpose when making enquiries about The Old Rectory. The statement of purpose was not available in large print or different formats but the provider said this could be done on request. Five questionnaires were returned prior to the site visit. Five residents received information about the care home. Three said they had a contract. Two relatives completed questionnaires and said they did not want a contract. There were copies of contracts on file for those residents whose files were examined. Records were examined of three residents who most recently moved into The Old Rectory. A nurse from the Old Rectory had assessed all three residents. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 A resident who recently moved in said “ I moved in here recently. My daughter arranged it and dealt with all the information and paperwork. I have thanked her for finding this place. I’m so happy and content. I could not manage at home but it’s been easy to make my mind up about moving in. I asked to share a bedroom. The lady I share with is lovely we get on great, she is older than me and needs some help and I look after her. I get the help I need when I want it”. Equality and diversity was discussed with the deputy manager who said residents’ lifestyle choices would be supported. She gave examples of residents sharing a bedroom. She said this is discussed in detail with residents when a vacancy arises in a double bedroom, as residents’ lifestyles may not be compatible. Residents who had chosen to share a bedroom did not raise any concerns and stated positive experiences. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.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 assessed as excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Residents’ plans ensure their health and social care needs are recorded, reflect residents’ needs and are reviewed regularly. Medicine management and administration is safe. EVIDENCE: Four care plans showed that a wide range of assessment documents were completed; with a care plan to address residents’ needs. From looking at care plans, observing staff working practices and talking with residents, staff and visitors, the health needs of residents were met. There were examples of good practice regarding the care of residents. The Old Rectory used a core care plan format, which uses standard care plans and risk assessments to identify and address residents’ health needs. These can be individualised to each resident. They cover a wide range of care needs from personal care to mental health. Care plans had been reviewed for two residents who had recently moved in. Staff monitor residents’ health. Residents’ who have heart conditions or take medicines, which affect their blood pressure, are monitored regularly. Blood sugars are monitored for residents with diabetes. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Staff liaise with the General Practitioner (GP) Liaison nurses or GP surgeries for routine tests. Two residents had urine specimens taken by staff as they closely monitor them for urine infections. The GP surgery contacted the home during the site visit to confirm both residents had urine infections and were prescribed antibiotics. A resident recently admitted from hospital improved very quickly after moving in and did not require fluids via a drip. The resident’s weight improved. The resident was reviewed by the NHS nurse assessor for funding and her funding for care decreased as her health had improved. The resident had put on weight, drinking fluids and mobilising with the aid of one staff member. Residents attended routine appointments at GP surgeries and hospital. Three GP comment cards returned prior to the site visit said, “No concerns the standard of care provided seems high”. “An excellent home with experienced caring staff”. “The residents appear happy and well cared for. One of the best nursing homes in the area”. A relative said of the care of her father “ I moved him from another care home where he was left isolated and was not eating and immobile. Three weeks after moving to here he was sitting up and eating by himself. He put on weight and was soon mobile. They really know him well and promote his independence within his capabilities. They will remind him if he is overdoing things. He talks to them about how he feels and trusts them as I do. They have advised me on the right approach with him when his mental health is poor. I worry about him and want to protect him all the time. Recently his brother died and I didn’t want him to go to the funeral. The deputy who he has a good relationship with said he had the right to grieve and talked to him about going to the funeral. He was great at the funeral service and we shared a lot of great memories”. Medicines management and administration was examined. No errors were noted on medicine administration records. A monitored dosage system is used throughout the care home. The manager said medicines audits were to be introduced as part of the quality assurance system. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 12, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is assessed as good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are supported in making choices in their lifestyle and social activities needs so they have control over their lives but improvements in recording activities could be made. Residents have a choice of meals in pleasing surroundings but the recording of alternative meal choices could be improved to reflect residents’ decisions. EVIDENCE: Many positive comments about the provision of social care and activities were made and received from residents and relatives. Residents and relatives said they chose The Old Rectory because of the ‘homely environment’, ‘family atmosphere’ and ‘friendly welcome’. The residents are aged between 75 to 102 years and are physically frail. A number of the residents have some memory problems. Residents receive daily newspapers inclusive of the accommodation fees. Accommodation fees also include chiropody, hairdressing and external activities. A trained nurse coordinates the activities and arranges the activities programme. An activities programme covering a week was in place. One planned activity per day was scheduled. These range from physical exercises to quizzes. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The care assistants are responsible for leading the daily activities. Residents and relatives said they enjoyed both the daily activities and evening social events planned. A resident said, “ I enjoy reading, floor basketball, exercise group and reminiscing with the other residents. We’re never bored. I get a daily newspaper and I enjoy it. There is always music and singing. The other residents are frail and don’t have a lot of energy and join in the exercise groups if they wish. I like to spend my time doing what I want”. A relative said “mum cannot join in many things now. I asked if she could sit in the main lounge, as she is frailer. Staff do activities everyday, not too strenuous. They ask her if she wants to join in but she enjoys watching and listening”. Two visitors commented “our parents have lived here for two years and we have visited everyday at different times to suit us. They are well cared for. Mum has bad arthritis and staff massage her hands daily with aromatherapy oils. Dad’s memory is poor but he finds his way around with staff help. Mum still enjoys the crossword and puzzles in the newspaper, as does dad. The main thing is the consistent staff team. Matron is very experienced and the owner’s philosophy is residents come first nothing is too much trouble and no expense spared. Dad knows his meat and says the meat is very good. We are invited to the evening social events and they are a good family event”. A satisfaction survey regarding the activities programme was completed in 2005 and residents were satisfied with the range of activities within the home. The Old Rectory do not use a social care plan or routinely keep records of residents participation in social events other than care staff reporting to the trained nurses to record this information in daily records. Only a few residents’ families had produced a life history or life story for their family members. Residents’ key workers are responsible for ensuring they have sufficient toiletries, their clothes well maintained and bedrooms tidy, not for liaising with families about residents’ health or social care. Residents discussed the provision of meals prior to them having lunch. Residents said they knew what was on the menu as it was written on the menu board. Residents said staff came and asked them what they would like to choose from the options available. Residents said at lunchtime there was one main choice with options available if they wished to choose them. The main menu did not indicate an alternative at lunchtime but did for the evening meal. The cook said residents could choose what they wished at lunchtime but she did not routinely keep a record of their choices other than for the evening meal. The chef said that residents’ meal preferences were recorded when they moved in and she had details of these. She said she prided herself on using fresh produce to make meals including homemade soup. Relatives and visitors said they saw meals being served and eaten and they always looked appetising. Lunchtime was seen as a social occasion. Tables were set with flowers and condiments. Residents chose where they ate their meal. The frailer residents sat in the main lounge and staff were available to assist them. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18 Quality in this outcome area is assessed as excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Complaints and concerns are acted on appropriately. An informed staff group and manager protect residents from abuse. EVIDENCE: No complaints using the provider’s complaints procedure had been recorded. A relative raised an issue about a picture in her mother’s bedroom, which her mother did not like, and the deputy manager assured her the picture would be moved. This was treated as a concern and recorded in the complaints book. Residents talked about their awareness of the complaints procedure. Residents said they were satisfied with the care they receive and would talk to the owner or matron if they were not satisfied. Relatives spoke very positively about how any matters were responded to and said they did not feel as though they had to raise any concerns as the matron or provider positively responded to all matters. A relative said, “ If I have ever had to ask about anything or a minor grumble they put it right instantly. They listen to you and respond. I asked about her health and received an update. They tell me if anything changes. They communicate well. You can talk to any staff and they listen. I have never had to make a complaint but would be very confident matron or the owner would put it right. My wife visits regularly and knows every item of clothing and it’s well cared for. Every resident looks smart whenever I visit. Staff who have contact with mum know her. The laundry lady has a great relationship with her and talks to her. If I give her any information it’s passed on”. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 As part of the training partnership with the local council over 50 of staff had attended the local authority adult protection training. Prior to this all staff had training from the provider. Staff discussed this and knew what to do if they suspected a resident had been abused. A staff member said “ if it was a carer I would report it instantly to the trained nurse. If it was a trained nurse the matron or owner. If it was the matron or the owner, social services or police”. As part of the recruitment procedures all staff had an enhanced Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check completed. A programme of supervision had commenced. Supervision between the trained nurse and care assistant is recorded as a formal one to one session. Staff had a supervision contract in place and supervision is seen as a developmental process. Where care staff had been supervised as part of their work this was also recorded. Examples of this were an observed practice or discussion about relevant policies and procedures. The manager and lead nurse for supervision had undertaken training in the supervision of staff. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities.

Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is assessed as good. Residents live in a safe and well-maintained home, which is clean and hygienic but the décor in a ground floor bathroom and lighting on a ground floor corridor could be improved to benefit residents’ safety. EVIDENCE: Two bedrooms and the main lounge had been decorated and new furniture purchased for some bedrooms. The bathroom on the ground floor corridor leading from the main entrance is in need of repair. The paintwork is marked and there is a hole in the wall. Repair to the flooring had been identified but repair to this not planned. On the main ground floor corridor adjacent to the nurse station the lighting is poor. This corridor has no natural lighting and the diffuser lights were not bright. Residents asked if the connecting door to the smaller dining room was the correct door. Brighter lighting would aid residents to see in this corridor. A relative said, “ The only improvement I would say is the lighting in the corridor by mum’s bedroom. There is not natural lighting and it looks dark. The lights are on all day”. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 During a tour of the building it was noted to be clean and hygienic with no odours present. A relative said, “ the home is always clean and smells nice it’s really homely. When you visit on a Sunday you can smell the aroma of Sunday lunch when you arrive”. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is assessed as good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The numbers, training and skill mix of staff are adequate to meet residents’ needs. Staff recruitment ensures residents are protected. EVIDENCE: The staff rota confirmed sufficient registered nurses and care assistants were employed to meet the residents` needs. Additional staff are on duty to serve and assist residents to eat their breakfast. Staff do not wear name badges to identify themselves. Care staff interviewed said residents who were confused repeatedly asked them their names and name badges would help residents recognise them. Staff said they were proud that they did not use agency staff and were provided with suitable training. Additional professional support is available to residents from the local Primary Care Trust (PCT) and local authority staff with referrals made when necessary. The manager confirmed that she has eighteen supernumerary hours a week. The deputy matron has six hours a week and the lead nurse on tissue viability has time to attend a local wound care forum. The staff group are stable. Old Rectory Nursing Home - Warrington DS0000005153.V300688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The Old Rectory had joined the local council training partnership.
