What the care home does well

The recently appointed manager has carried out an internal audit of the home. She has identified a number of issues that need improvement and will, with the support of her line manager, be putting procedures in place to deal with these. These will make sure that the quality of the service is improved for the people who live in the home. Parklands is well maintained so that the people living there do so in comfortable, pleasant and safe surroundings.

What has improved since the last inspection?

There is a commitment from the manager and staff to improve the quality of the service provided to the people living in the home to make sure their needs and choices are met in the way they prefer.

What the care home could do better:

The `Initial Assessment and Support Plan` for people who wish to move into the home must be fully completed to show what each person`s care needs are and that these can be met at Parklands. The plans of care for people who live at the home must be kept up to date to accurately reflect their changing needs. They must include up to date information and guidance for staff so they know what they have to do to meet the needs of each person. The staffing levels should be reviewed to make sure that there are enough staff available to meet the needs and choices of the people who live at the home. Staff training on safeguarding adults, moving and handling and fire safety must be kept up to date. This is to make sure staff know how to provide safe care, in line with up to date best practice, for the people who live at the home.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The information available about them is to be updated so that it are done before they move into at the home do not have all the needs can be met at Parklands. Parklands to help people decide if it is suitable for is accurate. Assessments of peoples care needs that the home are not always completed properly so staff information necessary to make sure the persons Evidence: During our visit to the home we saw a copy of the Residents guide and Statement of Purpose that provides information about the home, including its aims. The new manager for Parklands, who had started in post only days before our visit, said the information about the changes to the home was available but had not yet being added to the statement of purpose. We saw copies of the statement of purpose in a number of bedrooms. We spoke with one of the people living in the home who told us that their family had visited the home to check it on their behalf. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 28 Evidence: We saw copies of the checks on the needs of two people living in the home. These assessments had been carried out by staff from the home before the person had moved in. One of the care folders also had assessment documentation which had been completed by the care manager from the local council. The assessment of need carried out by staff from the home for one person was not completed and did not show the support they required with their mobility and well being. One of the assessments of need had not being signed by the member of staff carrying out the assessment. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 28 Health and personal care These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The plans of care we saw did not have all the information about peoples care needs and how these should be met. This means that staff are not always aware of how the needs of the people living at Parklands are to be met so they may not be able to ensure safe and appropriate care is provided to keep the person well and healthy. Evidence: The plans of care we saw for two of the people who live in the home showed how they were to be supported with some of their personal care needs and daily routines. The plans did not show how the person wished to be supported with all aspects of personal care, such as mobility and communication, and with their daily routines. The plans of care and the assessment of need record we saw for one of the people who lives in the home gave different information on the level of support required by the person with personal care such as using the bathroom. This could mean that the person was not receiving the support they needed in the way they preferred. The plans of care showed how the healthcare needs of the people were being monitored and the action taken by staff to address any concerns and worries. This Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 28 Evidence: included a record showing the persons contact with doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals. We saw copies of risk assessments for moving and handling and malnutrition. During our visit to the home we saw the continence advisor arrive to speak with a member of staff about the needs of the people who live in the home. We saw a sample of the records of medication administered by staff to the people who live in the home. These were signed and up to date. We were told that none of the people living in the home manage their own medication. We saw the room where the medication is stored. We were told that the room is also used as a treatment room where the people who live in the home can be seen by doctors and nurses. The care team leader told us that this room is kept locked when not in use. CLS, the organisation that runs the home, has provided policies and procedures on the administration of medication, a copy of which is kept in the home for staff to refer to when they need to. The staff training records seen during our visit showed that staff have received training on the administration of medication so they know how to do this safely, without making errors. During our visit we spoke with people who live in the home. They told us that staff are kept very busy and that some of the people who live in the home are very demanding. During our visit we saw that a number of the people who live at Parklands required a high level of staff support which affected the amount of time they could give to the other people who live there. The care needs of these people was also seen to upset some of the others who live in the home. During our visit we saw that the the way staff support people with personal care tasks such as using the bathroom is not always consistent. We saw in the care plans for one of the people that because they may have problems using the bathroom they should be put on the toileting list. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 28 Daily life and social activities These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives. They are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. People have nutritious and attractive meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People were not receiving the support they need from staff regarding their daily lifestyle so their expectations and preferences about their chosen lifestyle may not be met. Evidence: On the day of our visit we saw one of the people who lives in the home going out to the local village. We also saw another person going out with their family for lunch. Three of the people we spoke with during the inspection said their families and friends are able to visit the home as they wish. They also said they can receive visitors in the communal lounges and in the privacy of their bedrooms. The location of the home, in the centre of the village of Poynton, ensures it is easily accessible to the families and friends of the people who live there. We were told that the home has close links with the local community and that the home is seen as part of the the local community. We saw a list of activities for September on display in the entrance area. During our visit we saw a number of the people who live in the home play bingo that had been organised by the activities co-coordinator. CLS has developed a Marvellous Mealtime policy which sets out how mealtimes are to a relaxing and social occasion for the people who live in the home. However, the mealtime we saw during the visit was Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 28 Evidence: rushed, people were given their desserts as soon as they had finished their main meals and before others on the table had finished their main meals. We saw staff offered drinks to the people who live in the home from two large jugs, one made of plastic and one made of metal. We saw staff support people with their meals by standing at the table and cutting up their food. Staff were required to offer additional support to one of the people who lives in the home as they were disturbing the others. One member of staff was required to spend time with a visitor to the home who arrived during lunchtime. Tables were being cleared before all the people at the table had finished their lunch. Following their mid day meal the people living in the home were told that a residents meeting was to be held in the communal lounge/dining area. However, it was not clear if they were given the choice on whether they wished to attend. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 28 Complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them know how to complain. Any concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse and neglect and takes action to follow up any allegations. People’s legal rights are protected, including being able to vote in elections. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Although there are policies and procedures on safeguarding adults staff have not received the training they need to make sure they know what to do to protect the people living in Parklands from harm and abuse. Evidence: We saw the Policy and Procedure feedback customer folder which includes the record of complaints received by the home. We saw a record of two complaints which were received by the home. The complaints recorded were about dirty crockery and the food offered. In the information we were sent about the home before our visit, which was completed by the previous manager for the home, we were told that the home had received four complaints in the last twelve months. The information we had received was that these complaints had been upheld following an investigation by the home. We were told that the statement of purpose and complaints procedure will be updated to show the new contact details for the Care Quality Commission. We saw a notice in the entrance area to the home informing people of the new contact details for the Care Quality Commission. CLS has provided policies and procedures on safeguarding vulnerable adults from abuse. This includes a copy of No Secrets, the guidance for keeping adults safe from abuse. The staff training records we saw showed that sixteen staff had not received training on safeguarding adults, three had received training in 2006 and one in 2005. We were told by the manager that she had identified that staff required training on Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 28 Evidence: safeguarding and other areas. She also said that she would be meeting with her line manager to plan how these, and other issues, would be dealt with. Care Homes for Older People Page 17 of 28 Environment These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home is well maintained which means that the people living there are living in comfortable and safe surroundings. Evidence: The home is in the centre of the village of Poynton and is close to shops, health centre and other local amenities. There is a private car park to the front of the home. There is also a large public car park to the front of the home. There is an enclosed garden at the back for the people living at Parklands to use. All the bedrooms are single rooms with hand washing facilities and there are sufficient shared toilets and bathing facilities to meet the needs of the people who live in the home. During our visit we saw one of the bedrooms being re-decorated and we saw the maintenance assistant repairing bedside lamps. There are hoists and lifting aids provided to help people with mobility problems move around as independently as possible. Other aids such as wheelchairs, grab rails and lifting equipment are also provided in the home. There are care call points in all bedrooms, bathrooms/ toilets and communal areas which people who live in the home can use to call for help. There is a passenger lift for access between the ground and first floors. During our visit we saw people moving freely between the communal areas and their bedrooms. There is an inner courtyard in the home which has a goldfish pond, bridge and sitting area for the people who live at Parklands to use. Care Homes for Older People Page 18 of 28 Evidence: We spoke with a number of the people who told us that the home is kept clean and tidy. They also told us that the bedrooms suits their needs and one person said it would be better if we had our own toilets. We were told that they are converting an unused bathroom into a storage room for wheelchairs and other equipment. Care Homes for Older People Page 19 of 28 Staffing These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable to care for them. Their needs are met and they are cared for by staff who get the relevant training and support from their managers. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The people who live in the home are supported by staff who have not received up to date training on health and safety matters so they may not be able to provide the safe and appropriate care the people in the home need. Evidence: The staffing rota we saw during our visit showed that there is normally one care team leader and three care assistants on duty during the morning, afternoon and evening. There is usually one care team leader and one care assistant on waking night duty. In addition we saw domestic, kitchen and maintenance staff on duty during our visit. The rota showed that the some members of care staff can be on duty from 8am until 10pm. We looked at the personnel files of three staff. These showed that checks including criminal record checks and background checks are carried out on staff before they began working at the home. These checks are necessary to help to make sure that the staff are suitable to work with the people who live at Parklands. Information on staff qualifications was not included in the information we were sent before our visit to the home but we were given the record of staff training during our visit. This showed that staff training on safeguarding vulnerable adults from abuse, moving and handling and fire safety is not up to date. We were told by the new Care Homes for Older People Page 20 of 28 Evidence: manager that she had carried out an audit of staff training and identified that staff training and other issues required improvement. She said that she will be meeting with her line manager to plan how staff training will be updated as soon as possible. We spoke with staff who told us that the change of manager had happened very quickly. During our visit we saw that staff were very busy supporting the people who live in the home and did not always have time to sit and talk with people who were distressed. Care Homes for Older People Page 21 of 28 Management and administration These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is led and managed appropriately. People control their own money and choose how they spend it. If they or someone close to them cannot manage their money, it is managed by the care home in their best interests. The environment is safe for people and staff because appropriate health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. The people staying at the home are safeguarded because it follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and ensures their staff understand the way things should be done. They get the right care because the staff are supervised and supported by their managers. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The management systems for the home need to be improved to make sure that staff are able to provide safe care and support for the people living at the home. Evidence: The manager for the home had been in post since 24 August 2009. She has worked for CLS since 1995 and has held senior posts which include managing other homes in the organisation. She has achieved an NVQ Level 4 and obtained the Registered Managers Award. She has also attended training to up date her knowledge and skills in caring for older people. We were told that she has carried out an audit of the home and has identified issues that need improving including up dating staff training. We were told that she would be meeting with her line manager shortly after our visit to plan how the issues are to be dealt with. During the inspection we were told that the home does not manage the finances of the people who live there. Staff may, for example, purchase toiletries, newspapers and other items for the people who live in the home and are then refunded by the person Care Homes for Older People Page 22 of 28 Evidence: or their families. We saw the fire safety record log book during our visit which showed that fire drills are carried out, that the fire alarm system is tested weekly and that the emergency lights are tested monthly. We also saw a copy of the fire risk assessment in the entrance hall. We saw a sample of service records which included portable appliance tests, lift service report and a hoist maintenance report which showed that these were inspected in 2009. These checks help to show that the home and the equipment in it are safe for the people who live and work there.
