What the care home does well

What has improved since the last inspection?

The owners have continued with their refurbishment programme and have recently completed the decoration of all hallways and dining room, with new carpeting throughout. With the exception of one bedroom, all have been redecorated and where required refurnished. On the first floor landing a new door and windows have been fitted which open out onto a large balcony area and which offers wide views of Dartmoor. A new sitting area has been provided around this area. Further parts of the already extensive gardens have been laid to lawn and the owners have purchased more garden furniture. The care manager has continued to review and complete care records to a high standard, review and provide a good activity, entertainment and outings programme and ongoing staff supervision and training. The home has maintained the level of staff and staffing complement, with the exception of four members of staff in the last year. The current care manager had given the owners notice to leave some weeks prior to this inspection visit. The owners had already taken steps to recruit a new manager, have given additional responsibilities to the senior care staff and increased the care staff hours to take them through this period of transition and the new manager`s induction period.

What the care home could do better:

The home has no requirements arising from this inspection visit. The home provides a good level of care to all residents and in particular to those residents with higher levels of needs, such as physical health or dementia. The staff training programme is comprehensive and ongoing. It would however, be good to see some further external and certificated training in relation to dementia care for all staff in the future. This would give the staff team the expert knowledge and confidence in presenting themselves to health care professionals and other stakeholders in relation to dealing with residents with this level of need.

Four residents were case tracked during the inspection visit and two sets of visiting relatives were spoken with and views sought. What the service does well: The home is a calm, relaxed and a happy environment in which to live. The home is situated in a good position; surrounded by views of countryside and the Teign Estuary. The home itself is clean, very well maintained and decorated and furnished to a high standard. The owners have recently completed a large refurbishment programme including the decoration and recarpeting of the hallways, landing and dining room. This maintenance programme is continual and is always completed to a high standard. The level of care is good, as is staff training and development. All of the home’s records are up to date and accurate and there is evidence of continual reviewing of all documentation and the service in general. There is a good activity programme offered in the home and regular events, entertainment and outings. The home produces a newsletter informing all residents of forthcoming activities, events and celebrations. Residents comments include: “I’m so happy here. Everyone (meaning staff) is really very good” “Having looked around a number of other homes – this is by far the best”. “I feel very lucky to be here” “This home saved me after a period of ill health” “This is five star- the best home around” Relatives consulted also spoke very highly of the home and were very pleased with the level of care given, the staff and owners. One relative stated “there is always a happy atmosphere” and that their relative was “very well looked Penns Mount DS0000003772.V325343.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 after”. One relative made an initial search of approximately 100 homes before choosing this home and states “this was by far the best I have come across”. Staff members commented on the good level of support they receive from the care manager and owners, of the training and supervision they receive and their belief that the care records and level of activities offered in this home are good. One member of staff commented “if every home was run like Penns Mount – I look forward to getting old and enjoy my retirement”. The homes quality assurance surveys received from health care professionals were viewed. Comments include; “I have a good relationship with the home and am always impressed by their professionalism”, “I feel this home excels itself over and above the criteria needed”, “I visit over 50 homes in south Devon and this is one of the very best from my point of view”. It must be noted that there were no negative comments received from residents, relatives, staff or health care professionals. The home has an open complaints procedure, which has been used by residents for very minor issues and was seen to be taken seriously and dealt with effectively and swiftly. What has improved since the last inspection? The owners have continued with their refurbishment programme and have recently completed the decoration of all hallways and dining room, with new carpeting throughout. With the exception of one bedroom, all have been redecorated and where required refurnished.

Care plans are detailed documents and there is evidence that these documents have been completed with the resident where they are able and their relatives or representative. Staff have been requested to sign the back of each care plan to indicate that they have read and understood it. These records are reviewed and amended monthly. The care plan has also been summarised into an “at a glance care plan” – which is a shortened version for care staff to pick up and provide personal care on each shift – including one for nights. Manual handling assessments were found to be up to date and complete. Additional assessments for pressure care, falls and general risk assessments were also found to be in place and accurately reflect the current level of needs for the four residents case tracked on the day of this inspection visit.

All staff have received basic training in the administration of medications and then re-assessed with the care manager, before they are given the responsibility of administering medications. There is a system in place whereby one senior member of staff orders new medication and another checks the new medication in. This is commended and seen as a safe system. Another member of staff has the responsibility to carry out an audit of the records to ensure that all medications have been signed for.

Residents Penns Mount DS0000003772.V325343.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 were observed enjoying a reminiscence session in the evening of the inspection visit. Both residents and relatives spoken to at this inspection visit confirmed that the home has an open visiting policy and that all relatives are kept fully informed of the residents current care needs and are invited to events, entertainment and outings. Many of the residents spend time with relatives outside of the home and this is very much encouraged and supported. A number of residents have their own private telephone lines in their rooms, which allow them free access to contact with friends and relatives. A discussion was held with the care manager at a previous inspection visit, about encouraging and supporting residents in maintaining skills of independence. Some examples of this would be that residents are offered tea pots, sugar bowls and milk jugs, from which to make their own drinks, serve their own vegetables from dishes on the table, or sauces and gravy’s and cold drinks and waters from jugs. Some discussions have taken place with residents and staff and some introduction of these new ideas have been started. All residents have been consulted about their wishes in relation to the use of serving dishes, tea and coffee etc. The care manager was able to demonstrate that most residents had requested that their meals are still plated up and that do not wish to have serving dishes. However, some are enjoying the ability to serve themselves tea and coffee etc. A full audit of residents preferences in relation to food likes and dislikes have been undertaken and care staff refer to these surveys and lists at each meal time to ensure individuals are given exactly what they have requested. Residents spoken to at a meal time confirmed that this system was successful and was how they wished to continue for now. The provision of foods is said by residents and relatives to be of a high quality. Meals served were seen to be hot, nutritious and individual. All residents are consulted on choice of meals. As mentioned above an audit has been completed in relation to residents general likes and dislikes and this includes the amount a resident would prefer to be put on their plate. Alternatives are offered to every meal and varied. A meal was taken by the inspector on the day of the inspection visit and was found to be nutritious and plentiful.
