What the care home does well

What has improved since the last inspection?

It was positive to note the new development of pictorial service users guides containing all statutory elements. The manager confirmed the intention to individually supply each resident with a copy. Good progress had been made in developing the home`s policies, procedures, and systems. The fire officer had reviewed the fire risk assessment and the staff team had received fire training. A health and safety risk assessment for the premises was observed to be in place. Staff in charge of the home had access to all necessary records and records of food were being maintained. Observations confirmed work had taken place to further develop care plans, which were observed to clearly set out how individual needs and the aspirations and goals of residents will be met. A copy of the revised local multi-agency adult protection procedure was now available in the home. Staff had received adult protection training last year from an external trainer and an adult protection procedure for the home was in place. A new development since the last inspection was the replacement of a shower unit with a bath for the purpose of meeting individual needs of a resident recently admitted.

What the care home could do better:

A homely remedies policy must be produced and a list of homely remedies in use, in consultation with the general practitioner. Attention was drawn to the statutory requirement to have a current photograph of all staff employed on their personnel files. Also to ensure staff are issued with the General Social Care Council Code of Conduct and Practice. Record keeping needs to demonstrate regular review of residents` personal risk assessments. Recommendations were made for the statement of terms and conditions of residency/contract to be in language and format accessible to residents. The same comment was made in respect of the notes of residents` meetings. It was suggested additionally that information relating to details of insurance cover for residents` personal possessions be incorporated into the Service User Guide when next revised.It was recommended that a system be put in place to ensure ongoing checks on staff`s driving licenses and details of their car insurance.

This inspection was the home’s second inspection for the year 2005/2006. It was announced to management, staff and service users in advance of taking place. The inspection commenced at 09.35 hrs and concluded at 13.00hrs. The provider and manager were present throughout. The inspection process included review of progress for compliance with the requirement made at the time of the last inspection. A tour of the home took place and records were sampled.

Information and feedback in comment cards received following the inspection also formed part of the inspection process. The inspector would like to thank all who contributed information; also to express appreciation to the resident, provider and home manager for their courtesy and cooperation on the day of the inspection. What the service does well: The atmosphere of the home was warm and welcoming. The provider and manager were friendly and supportive towards the one resident who was present for part of the inspection. Their approach was respectful and ageappropriate. It was evident that positive relationships existed between both managers and that individual who expressed a high level of satisfaction with life in the home. She stated, “ I like the home very much, it is good here and I love the staff”. A person – centred planning approach was being developed to ensure resident’s individual needs and aspirations were identified and met. Residents were afforded opportunities for making choices and exerting control over their lives as far as practicable. They were encouraged and supported in maintaining relationships with families and friends. The operation of the home ensured residents’ had access to education and lifelong learning opportunities. Individual independence and responsibilities for taking part in the running of their home was promoted. Support was given to enable residents’ to acquire and practice independent living skills. The importance of self-advocacy and advocacy was evidently well recognised in the operation of the home. The views of residents and their family members were clearly taken account of in decision-making. Links were established between the home and all relevant agencies.

Preadmission assessment procedures ensure residents’ needs and aspirations could be met. Residents had been each issued with contracts/statements of terms and conditions of residency, which were held on personal files. EVIDENCE: Information about the home had been produced in accessible formats and the latest development had been a good quality service users guide intended to be individually distributed to residents. Residents had an individual contract on their personal file. The need to ensure these were signed was identified. It was suggested these be developed in an accessible format and contain details of the maximum amount of insurance cover included in the home’s policy for residents’ personal property. Since the last inspection a third person had taken up residency and there was now three female residents accommodated. Examination made of care records demonstrated that admission procedures continued to be based on a full assessment of needs carried out by Care Management. There was also an assessment undertaken by the home’s management to ensure needs and aspirations of residents’ could be met.

Consultation with the one resident present for part of the inspection confirmed she was very positive about all aspects of her care and support and the operation of the home. She confirmed all residents’ shared responsibility for Parklands DS0000061565.V276012.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 domestic tasks, cooking, cleaning and shopping and were involved in gardening, with encouragement and support of staff.

A formal supervision structure for staff had been implemented there was an ongoing programme of training and staff development. EVIDENCE: The staff list and staff rota was examined. No new staff had been recruited since the time of the last inspection. Staff recruitment procedures ensured the safety of residents. Areas of discussion included the POVA Scheme and the impact of this on CRB Disclosures, which are no longer portable, for future reference. The need to obtain current photographs of all staff to be held on their personnel files was identified. Also for staff to be supplied with copies of the GSCC Code of Conduct and Practice. Usual staffing levels were one or two staff on each shift during the day, dependent on the activities planned. At night there was one sleeping in member of staff. On call arrangements ensured that staff had access to the provider and the manager at all times.

Also to clarify the period of cover of the home’s electrical certificate and for this to be recorded on the certificate. The home had a new six-seat vehicle, which was insured for business purposes, driven by the provider and manager only. Staff were stated to use their own cars at times to transport service users and to have business insurance cover. The provider stated staff’s insurance and driving licenses were checked on recruitment. A system needs to be in place for follow up checks in both matters. Systems were in place to ensure financial planning, budget monitoring and financial control. Insurance cover was evidenced. The certificate of registration was displayed in the lounge. It was suggested this might be more appropriately displayed in the office.
