This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection carried out as part of the regulatory process. A total of 15 hours was spent on the inspection process, and was carried out by 2 Inspectors. The Inspectors carried out a tour of the home, and service user plans, medication records & management, staff rosters, staff records, financial & administration records and maintenance & servicing records were viewed. 18 residents, 20 staff and 3 visitors were spoken with as part of the inspection process. The pre-inspection Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) document completed by the home, plus two comment cards from representatives/visitors have also been used to inform this report. No comment cards were received from any of the residents living at the home. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
The medication management has improved and medications are now being well managed at the home. The home has started to gain information regarding the wishes of residents and their families in respect of end of life care, so that their wishes can be respected. The home has appointed an activities co-ordinator and work is being done to provide activities to meet the interests of the residents. Resident food preferences, both for personal reasons and in respect of cultural and medical reasons, are ascertained and the cook works hard to meet these preferences. There is evidence of some improvements in the environment but further improvement is required to bring the it up to a good standard throughout. There has been a good improvement in the training provision for staff, and this needs to be ongoing to ensure all staff are kept up to date with subjects relevant to the work they perform. Action has been taken to ensure that in the absence of the Registered Manager, arrangements are in place to ensure the home continues to be managed effectively. The homes policies and procedures have been reviewed and where required updated. The risk assessments for fire, equipment and safe working practices have been reviewed and updated. There is now evidence that fire drills are being carried out at regular intervals.

Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home
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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3. The home does not provide intermediate care. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are fully assessed prior to admission, thus the home ensures they are able to meet each persons needs. EVIDENCE: The home has a comprehensive pre-admission assessment document that provides a good picture of the resident and their needs. Copies of the Social Services assessment are also obtained. Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service user plans are in place for each resident, however shortfalls in the information contained in the care plans could lead to residents needs not being fully met. Medications are being well managed at the home, thus safeguarding residents. Staff care for residents in a gentle and professional manner, respecting their privacy and dignity. Resident choices regarding end of life care are recorded, thus ensuring that individual wishes are respected. EVIDENCE: One Inspector viewed 3 service user plans plus 2 more in relation to wound care management. Clear admission assessments are carried out, however the information from these and the pre-admission assessment documentation is not being used to identify each need, and care plans had not always been formulated to address these needs. One service user plan viewed on the dementia care unit did not have a care plan for dementia care needs. New care planning documentation has been introduced that allows for specific information regarding each resident to be recorded. There was some evidence of input from representatives in respect of signing assessments and consents,
Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 however residents spoken with did not appear to have had any involvement in the formulation and review of their service user plans. The importance of this was discussed with the Registered Manager. Some of the assessment documentation had been changed, and risk assessment and assessment information was very brief, to include information regarding falls risk. A requirement is set under standard 8. Wound care documentation was viewed. Care plans for wounds were in place, along with records of dressing changes, body maps and pressure sore risk assessments. Assessments for moving & handling and nutrition were very brief and did not provide a clear picture of the residents needs. Continence assessments were not available in the current service user plans, however one viewed for a previous resident was clear. The Inspector suggested that the documentation available be reviewed and the home use those documents that provide comprehensive information about each aspect of a residents care, so that appropriate assessments and associated documentation are in place for each resident. There was evidence of input from healthcare professionals to include GP, dentist, chiropodist and tissue viability nurse. The medication records and management were sampled. All receipts, administration and disposals had been clearly recorded. For each resident a front sheet with a photograph, name, allergy information and other relevant information was available. A list of staff signatures and initials was in place. With one exception all liquid medications had been dated when opened, however there was a date for commencing the medication clearly printed on the administration instruction label. The Inspectors recommended this date be circled to clearly identify when the medication was opened. Fridge minimum and maximum temperatures were being recorded and were within safe range. Since the last inspection the medication policy had been updated to expand the section for disposal of medications. Assessments and signed consents by the GP were in place for any residents for whom covert administration of medications is necessary due to non-compliance. A risk assessment was in place for one resident who self-medicates with one medication. The controlled drugs register was up to date, medications were correctly recorded and signed for and stock checks had been carried out. Since the last inspection new lancing devices for professional use are now being used for blood glucose monitoring. Stock control was checked for some residents and stock amounts tallied with the administration records. For one resident who had recently returned from hospital, a hand-written medication administration record (MAR) had been done and the stocks of medications received from the hospital had been entered. Medications are being well managed at the home. Staff were seen caring for residents in a gentle, caring and professional manner. Residents spoken with were very happy with the care they are receiving at the home and positive comments were also received from visitors and healthcare professionals. Bedrooms viewed were very personalised and looked homely. Residents personal clothing is labelled and residents were well
Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 groomed and dressed, reflecting individuality. Residents can have their own telephone if they so wish, and mail is delivered unopened. Staff speak with residents using their preferred term of address. Information regarding the wishes of residents and their families in respect of health deterioration and dying is now being ascertained. The Deputy Manager said that some people find this a very difficult topic to discuss and the staff are sensitive to this. Several staff had undertaken training in dying and bereavement since the last inspection. Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 & 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The activity provision at the home has improved, however further work is needed in this area to ensure the interests of all residents can be catered for. The home has an open visiting policy, thus encouraging people to maintain contact with family and friends. Information regarding advocacy services was available, thus peoples right to individual representation is respected. The food provision in the home is good, offering variety and choice, thus meeting peoples’ individual needs. EVIDENCE: The home has appointed an activities co-ordinator and there was evidence of several outings over the summer plus activities on the units. At the time of inspection the activities co-ordinator was covering for the administrator who was on leave. The importance of ensuring activities are being organised each day was discussed with the Registered Manager. The Inspectors recommended that the activities co-ordinator accesses training relevant to her role. Some dementia care training has been given to staff, with a small element including activities for people with dementia, and training is needed to expand the staffs knowledge in this area. Residents and representatives are being asked to complete a ‘life history’ document, providing staff with information regarding
Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 the residents social history to include interests and hobbies previously enjoyed. The home has raised flowerbeds so that residents who enjoy gardening can get involved in planting bulbs and other plants. The home has an open visiting policy and visiting is encouraged. Residents can receive visitors in their own bedroom or in one of the communal areas, as they so wish. The visitors spoken with said that they are always made very welcome at the home and are offered refreshments. Representatives are kept up to date with any issues. The home has access to the local Age Concern Advocacy service and information on this was clearly displayed on the notice boards. Information was also available for ‘Care Aware’ advocacy services, who provide advice on financial issues. One Inspector viewed the kitchen, which was clean and tidy, and kitchen records were up to date. The menus are regularly reviewed and the cook had a good understanding of meeting the needs of residents who have specialist dietary needs for medical or cultural reasons. The kitchen had recently been inspected by Hillingdon Environmental Health Department and had attained a Four Star food hygiene rating. The menu offers a choice of meals and residents spoken with confirmed that they are offered a choice. Completed menu choice lists were seen and staff were using these when serving the lunchtime meal. The food provision to include puree and soft diets was good and meals were well presented and looked appetising. Staff were available to assist residents as needed, and were doing so in a gentle manner. Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.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.

The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 21 & 26. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Overall the internal and external environment is of a fair standard, thus providing a clean, comfortable and homely environment for people to live in. Plans for redecoration & refurbishment need expanding to ensure all areas in need of work are identified and addressed. One bath facility needs reviewing to ensure safety is being maintained for the residents. Infection control procedures are in place and are being followed, thus minimising the risk of cross-infection. EVIDENCE: The Inspectors carried out a tour of the home. There was evidence of some redecoration and refurbishment, to include the purchase of more profiling beds so that all residents now have one. Some of the individual tables are tatty and in need of replacement. Some of the carpets are also very worn and in need of replacement. One vacant room in need of redecoration had not been done, even though this would have been an appropriate time to complete such work.
Parkfield House DS0000010935.V349190.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 There is a redecoration and refurbishment plan, however this needs to be expanded to include all areas that require redecoration and refurbishment so that the work is being done in a timely manner. Several bedrooms and some bathroom areas were in need of redecoration. A further audit of the environment is needed so that all areas in need of redecoration and refurbishment, to include carpets, are identified and included on the action plan with timescales for completion for all areas. The external grounds are attractive and well maintained. Comment was received that the outdoor seating and sheltered areas provide areas for residents and their families to sit out in, in a pleasant environment. The redecoration of bath and shower facilities had been identified on the action plan. Work had been done to try and address the issue regarding the standing water in one of the assisted baths, however even when staff follow the correct procedures there is still an issue with standing water. Action needs to be taken to sort out the drainage or replace the bath with an up to date assisted bath facility. At the time of inspection some items were removed from bath & shower areas and these areas were not being used for storage. One Inspector viewed the laundry, which was clean and tidy. There are two washing machines with a sluice programme for soiled items and two tumble dryers. Personal items of clothing are labelled. Some comment was received regarding items not being returned, and the laundry lady said that she would look for the specific items and also that any unlabelled items are labelled promptly. Following the last inspection paper towel dispensers have been installed in the en suites for each bedroom. Protective clothing to include gloves and aprons were available. The home was clean and smelled fresh throughout. There are policies and procedures in place for infection control and these are followed. Infection control is well managed at the home.

The home was due for an annual audit and was in the process of completing their annual home self-assessment. The home has obtained the Certified Quality System for Management. This covers several aspects of quality assurance. Internal audits to include medication, service user plans, accidents and pressure sores are undertaken, and it was clear that the medication audits had improved the standard of medication management. Staff meetings, relatives meetings and residents meetings take place and minutes are recorded. Policies and procedures have all been reviewed. Regulation 26 unannounced visits are undertaken monthly and a copy of the written report is sent to CSCI. One Inspector sampled the records for monies held on behalf of residents.
