What the care home does well

The home provides a safe, secure and comfortable living environment. Observations of service users indicates that the home provides a good standard of care to service users with a high level of needs. Service user`s opinions and decisions regarding their care are sought together with that of their relatives where appropriate. This gives them confidence that any concerns they may have will be listened to. The home has enabled service users to maintain close links with a variety of community groups/organisations as well as their relatives. Care planning documents are very comprehensive and indicate that there is a high level of involvement with various professionals in care planning and review meetings and general day-to-day support.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Adaptations have been made in the home to improve the facilities and living environment. For instance window restrictors and radiator covers have been installed and the laundry has been relocated to a room on the top floor of the home. Lockable storage cabinets are also available in each room. The statement of purpose and service user guide has been reviewed in line with CSCI regulations. The complaints policy has also been reviewed to reflect the name CSCI. Evidence of consultation with service user regarding their care and general welfare is now available. A quality assurance exercise has been carried out to seek the views of relatives and other stakeholders. The majority of staff have received adult protection training. The staff rota now accurately reflects staff on duty and who is on duty at any given time. Staff are subject to an enhanced criminal records bureau check before they commence employment.

What the care home could do better:

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users’ know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1, 2 and 5 Service users or their relatives where appropriate, are now able to make informed decisions regarding the services and care offered by the home and their contractual obligations, based on the information contained in the statement of purpose and the statement of terms and conditions. Information contained in preadmission assessments ensures that service user’s needs and aspirations are assessed and can be fully met by the home. EVIDENCE: At the previous inspection, a requirement was made that the statement of purpose and service user guide be reviewed. Both documents were examined and the inspector confirmed that they contained the information detailed under regulation 5 and schedule 1 of the Care Homes Regulations 2001. At the time of the last inspection three service users were living in the home although the pre-admission process for the fourth service user had been started. The inspector was shown comprehensive pre-admission documentation relating to the fourth service user that clearly stated their needs and how these could be met. Two files were examined. Both contained contracts however only one had been signed. The manager explained that the other contract had not been signed as the service user was unable to do so themselves and their only relative was PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 unable to sign due to ill health. In light of this circumstance the inspector considers this requirement to have been met. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 6, 7 and 9 The standard of care planning documents in the home is commendable and indicates that a comprehensive assessment of needs has been carried out. Despite the limited verbal skills of service users, the home was able to demonstrate its commitment to involving service users and where appropriate their families in relation to their care. EVIDENCE: At the previous inspection the registered persons were required to ensure that care plans show consultation with service users or their representatives where appropriate. Two files were inspected. Both contained detailed care plans and risk assessments. There was also evidence of annual social services reviews that indicated that service users and their families were involved. The manager informed that the home carries out 6 monthly reviews of care planning documentation that are then sent to professionals directly involved in the care of the service user including their family. Any comments are then incorporated into the final care plan and risk assessment documents. Documentation seen indicated that the home made all attempts to ensure that service users are encouraged to make decisions regarding their care. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 17 The home has a varied menu that takes into account individual preferences. This ensures that service user’s dietary needs are met. EVIDENCE: At the previous inspection a requirement was made that all food that had been opened must be labelled and dated. An inspection of the contents of the fridge confirmed that this was being done. The inspector observed that despite the fact that the weekly shopping was due to be done, there were sufficient quantities of fresh and frozen foods. The current menu was seen and it was confirmed that the ingredients for the evening meal were available. Due to service user’s lack of verbal communication skills it was difficult to determine their opinion on the food they were offered, however it is the inspector’s opinion that service users appeared healthy and well cared for. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 19, 20 and 21 Staff have clear guidelines on administering medication that ensures that service users are protected from harm and abuse. The home and other health professionals regularly monitor service user’s health and their decisions relating to their health and welfare are respected and recorded. EVIDENCE: There was documentary evidence of visits to or by health care professionals such as GPs, dentist, optician and community nurse. There was also a letter on a file requesting that a service user attend a routine gynaecological examination. There are no service users who are self-medicating at the home. One service user has their medication covertly administered and signed consent detail information regarding how this was to be done was available. Only staff that have received medication training gives out medication. The manager explained that the deputy manager usually gave out medication. When the deputy manager was not on duty a member of staff was responsible for medication but they were required to give this out in the presence of another member of staff. An examination of the rota revealed that staff responsible for medication were clearly indicated. Following a requirement at the last PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 inspection, sample signatures of staff that are authorised to administer medication are now available. Of the two service user files examined, only one had information in the service user’s wishes in the event of their death. The manager reiterated that due to the ill health and difficulty in engaging the service user’s parent, they had been unable to get this information. The social worker is due to visit the service user’s parent and they have been asked if they could obtain this information on behalf of the home. It is however acknowledged that this is a sensitive topic and discussing it would depend on the parent’s state of health. The inspector acknowledges the attempts made by the home to seek this information and the constraints that they are encountering and in consideration of this considers this standard is met. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 22 and 23 The home recognises the importance of complaints in improving the quality of care and had demonstrated this by presenting complaints information in a way that makes it accessible to all service users. The training needs of recently recruited staff must not be overlooked as this could pose serious risks to service users. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints policy that is in a format appropriate to the needs of service users and includes aids such as pictures and makaton signs. The home has received no complaints since registration with the CSCI in March 2004. The name NCSC in the complaints policy has now been changed to CSCI. At the previous inspection a requirement was issued for all staff to receive adult protection training. Records examined at this inspection confirmed that the majority of staff had received training towards the end of 2004. Staff recruited from the beginning of the year to date are still to receive this training. This is required. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 26, 29 and 30 The home has made great progress in improving facilities to ensue a safe and hygienic living environment for service users. EVIDENCE: The inspector was able to view all 4 service user bedrooms. Further to a requirement made at the previous inspection, all contained a lockable storage space. A recommendation by an Occupational Therapist that a manual handling plan be compiled for a named service user had been carried out. At the previous inspection the laundry was situated in a separate building in the back yard with access through the kitchen. Concerns were raised about the risk of infection as soiled laundry was carried through the kitchen. In response to this the home has relocated the laundry room from the back yard to the former sleep in room at the top of the building. An inspection of the new laundry room revealed that a wash-basin had been installed as well as a washing machine with a sluice cycle. A discussion with the deputy manager revealed that at present no service users were doubly incontinent however should this occur staff were aware of the need to carry soiled laundry in bags. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 33, 34, 35 and 36 There has been an improvement in recruitment practises at the home however service user are still being left vulnerable as a result of inconsistency in the checks carried out on new staff. The lack of training in core areas for some staff casts doubt on whether service users are consistently and effectively met. Current levels of staff supervision are irregular and therefore inadequate and must be improved, as this is likely to affect the standard of care offered to service users. EVIDENCE: A copy of the current rota displayed in the home was examined. This indicated the staff on duty in any 24 hour period. The hours of the deputy manager were listed and 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. In her absence over the weekends, a senior carer would be in charge. Through discussion with the manager it was confirmed that the hours of the deputy manager had been changed from parttime to full time to enable the manager to have more flexibility about the days and times she would be at either of the two care homes that she managed. The inspector confirmed that this arrangement was working very well. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 Three files of the newest members of staff who has commenced work during the month of April 2005 were examined. All files contained an enhanced criminal records bureau check carried out by the home, a job description and a contract. All files also contained a recent photograph of the member of staff, a health declaration form, details of qualifications and training and evidence of participation in an induction programme. All files contained references however one file did not contain reasons as to why the member of staff left their previous positions where they had worked with vulnerable adults. 1 out of 3 files did not contain evidence of eligibility to work. This requirement is restated. Training records for the same 3 members of staff were also examined. Records indicated that training was very patchy and inadequate. For instance one member of staff had received training in abuse and health care assistant training from a former employer but there was no year on the certificate therefore it was impossible to determine how long ago this training had been carried out. There was no evidence that this same member of staff had received training in first aid, infection control, food hygiene or fire safety. Another member of staff had receive training in dementia, first aid and moving and handling from a former employer but there was no evidence of food hygiene, infection control and fire safety. A discussion with the registered manager confirmed that they were aware of staff training needs and training was being arranged. The registered persons must ensure that thee is evidence confirming that all staff working in the home have received training in first aid, fire safety, infection control, moving and handling and food hygiene. Supervision records seen indicated that staff are still not receiving regular supervision. Two members of staff who had started work in April 2005 had received supervision in May and none since then. A restated requirement is made relating to staff supervision. PERSON CENTRED CARE HOME G59 S58138 PCC Home (Little Park Gardens) V232462 03.08.05 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 39 and 42 By carrying out a quality assurance exercise, the home has shown its commitment to listening and valuing the views of service users and other interested parties. The safety of service users has been promoted through adaptations to the home. EVIDENCE: At the previous inspection a requirement was made that a quality assurance be carried out to seek the views of service users, their relatives and other professionals. The manager showed the inspector evidence of letters written to relatives and various professionals requesting their views on various aspects of the home. The response received was very positive. During a tour of the home the inspector observed that radiator covers and window restrictors had been installed.
