What the care home does well

Padgate House provides short-term care for older people leaving hospital or requiring a period of additional support. This enables many people to regain their independence and return to the community. The home also provides respite care. The service is flexible and constantly evolving to respond to changing needs. The service brings together the local authority, the primary care trust and the acute trust in collaboration. A multi-disciplinary team is based within the home, which ensures that people have access to specialist services on a daily basis. One resident, who has lived at Padgate House for several years, continues to be supported in their chosen environment. The staff members at Padgate House provide a good standard of care to the people that stay at the home, they were seen to be treating clients with respect and dignity and were able to demonstrate an awareness of their diverse needs. Good relationships were seen to exist between "clients" and staff and those people that commented all said that the staff members were good. Comments from clients staying in the home included; "its marvellous, staff are very caring", "staff treat you as a friend". A visiting relative said that, "my mother would like to stay, staff are very good". A number of positive statements have also been made on the survey forms, these include; "the staff look after you very well and nothing is too much trouble", "homely atmosphere, staff always extremely pleasant and courteous, very caring" A range of social activities is provided. A wide choice of meals is offered and the standard of catering is good. The building is clean and well maintained throughout. The local authority provides regular training for staff.

What has improved since the last inspection?

More staff members have been given the opportunity to achieve an NVQ qualification and the home now meets the Department of Health target which recommends that at least 50% of care staff have a recognised qualification. Telephone points have been installed in all bedrooms. New entrance doors, which are more easily accessible for people who use a wheelchair, have been fitted. A new fire alarm system has been fitted throughout the home and automatic door closers have been fitted to the bedroom doors; this enables people to keep their door open if they wish to do so. In addition to the closures new rise and fall hinges have been fitted to the doors, these are now easier for people to open.

What the care home could do better:

Padgate House generally does the majority of things well so rather than state what they could do better the inspector considers that the home needs to continue with the development of the service in order to ensure that the good quality of care provided to the people using the service at the present time is maintained.

The people spoken with during the visit confirmed that they knew what to do if they were unhappy or wanted to make a complaint. The survey forms received also confirmed this. A file of positive comments is maintained and it was evident from looking at a selection of recent cards and letters [10 were received in March 2007] that the people using the service considered that the quality of care provided to either themselves or their relatives was of a very good standard.

There are outdoor sitting areas planted with flowers and shrubs available for people to enjoy. These were accessible and well maintained. A client has written on a survey form, “beautiful” As people only stay at the home for a relatively short time there are limited opportunities for them to personalise their bedrooms. However it was seen that some people had brought in some small items such as a TV or radio. The one permanent resident’s bedroom was personalised.

Prospective staff members are checked against the POVA list before employment commences and CRB disclosures are obtained. The files seen were maintained to a high standard and demonstrated that all of the appropriate checks had been undertaken and any gaps in an individual’s employment history were investigated prior to employment commencing. The local authority provides training programmes for all grades of staff, including a two-week induction for new care staff. Whilst there was ample evidence from the documents seen and the staff members spoken with to confirm that a wide variety of training courses were available it was difficult to monitor when training was due. The deputy and administrator agreed that they would undertake a review of all training and if any shortfalls existed they would address it immediately. Padgate House DS0000036225.V328166.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38.

Senior and administrative staff members support the deputy to manage the home.. A number of positive comments about her were made during the visit. Padgate House DS0000036225.V328166.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 There is a safe where clients can deposit small amounts of personal money. The home’s staff members assist the long stay client to manage his finances and good records of this are maintained. Personal monies for a number of respite clients were being handled appropriately. Those inspected had correct balances and accurate records. Warrington Borough Council has a quality assurance system in place and the views of the people using the service and their representatives are sought. This is an ongoing process and survey forms are kept in individual bedrooms. In addition to this process there is a suggestion box within the entrance area for people’s use if they wish. All staff members receive regular 1-1 supervision and a number of records to confirm this was happening were seen during the visit. New staff are initially supervised by the deputy manager and senior staff members feedback on their performance and any issues during the probation period There is a comprehensive health and safety manual as well as policies and procedures in relation to safe working practices in place.
