What the care home does well

The home is well furnished and provides a relaxed and friendly environment for service users. The home has large well-maintained gardens which service users make use of. Service users are encouraged to be independent and have their views on how the home is run. Service users are given choices in their activities of daily living. A wide range of activities is available both within and outside of the home. Visitors are made welcome and can visit at any time. Service users spoke highly of the care staff and felt they offered excellent care.

What has improved since the last inspection?

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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service Assessments give a clear picture of a service users needs, ensuring their needs are met. Service users are given the opportunity to come and spend time in the come before moving in, ensuring it is the correct home for them. EVIDENCE: The files of three service users were sampled. Two service users had been in the home for over a year and the third service user had been in the home for under a year. It was noted pre-admission assessments had been completed and information had been gained from hospitals and care managers. The inspector was advised the service user would always where possible be invited to come and spend some time in the home before moving in. If possible a member of staff would visit the service user before moving into the home. Assessments seen did give a clear picture of a service users needs. Discussions were held on the presentation of the information; for the service user who had been in the home for less than a year the information was easy to find and Osborn Manor DS0000011768.V305499.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 gave clear picture. For the service users who had been in the home for a longer period the information was presented in a less comprehensive manner and it was harder to find all the information, although when searching the file information was available. It was agreed it would be more useful to present the information in a manner, which made it easy to access and read in one record. Two service users spoken to stated they could remember coming to look around the home before they moved into the home. The home does not provide intermediate care. Osborn Manor DS0000011768.V305499.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, 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service Care plans provide adequate information, but further detail is needed on the care plan to ensure care staff have all information to meet a service users needs. Health care needs are well documented with a range of services available to meet service users needs. Medication is well managed in the home and offers appropriate protection for service users. EVIDENCE: Three care plans were sampled. It was found care plans did record some good information and it was clear to see service users overall health and social needs were being met. Clear information is recorded on all a service users needs and all health visits are recorded in the service users file. Evidence was seen that service users have access to doctors, district nurses, community psychiatric nurses, dentists, opticians and chiropodists. The inspector was advised service users generally go to the health centre for appointments, which is close to the home. Osborn Manor DS0000011768.V305499.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Care plans did give good information but more detailed information was needed in how care should be given. For example when the care plan stated a service user needed assistance with bathing, the care plan should state how assistance is needed and what the carer has to do. Care plans had not always been updated with service users changing needs. The inspector was advised one service user had recently detiorated and the family had been asked to look for a nursing home, however this was not recorded on the care plan. Daily and nightly notes were maintained, which the inspector was advised is where most information is recorded. Daily notes did give lots of information, it was agreed on a monthly basis these should be summarised and added to the care plan where it reflects changes to the care and the service users needs. The home uses a monitored dosage system in line with the homes policies and procedures. All medication is kept in the locked drugs trolley, which is chained to the wall. The senior on duty holds the key, but the inspector was advised all staff are involved in the administration of medication. All staff have received training on the administration of medication and the manager and deputy have received training in Care of Medicines. Medication records and stock held on the day were all accurate. No service users currently take any controlled medication but staff were aware how this should be stored and how it should be recorded. The pharmacist who signs a record for the medication returned collects all excess medication. The inspector watched a member of staff dispense the medication and noted the correct procedure was followed. None of the current service users are selfmedicating. It was clear from observations and discussions on the day service users are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld by care practices. A visitor to the home stated she always got to see her friend in private. Care staff knocked on all doors before entering and service user were spoken to in a respectful manner. Most service users had keys to their rooms; which some users choose to use, whilst others felt there was no need to keep their doors locked.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The number of staff on duty meets service users needs, but consistent staffing levels would benefit staff and service users further. Training records should demonstrate what training has taken place in the last twelve months and who has up-to-date training in the core areas. The lack of good recruitment records could put service users at risk. EVIDENCE: The home employs 11 care staff and two domestic staff. Most staff have worked in the home for a lengthy period and have a good knowledge of the service users needs. The inspector was advised nine members of staff have a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) Level 2 and one member of staff has started a Registered Managers Award.
