What the care home does well

There was good evidence that the manager and staff had worked hard to make improvements at the home. This has followed the previous key and random inspections. This showed that the staff and manager are committed to the care of the people who use the service and the improvements at the home have benefited the welfare and safety of those people. The people who use the service said that they generally felt well cared for by the staff and they were treated with respect and kindness. There was a relaxed atmosphere in the home; the staff had taken care to ensure that the people who use the service were helped with all aspects of their personal care; the people who use the service were clean and well dressed, they thought that the food was `very good` and there was plenty of choice available. The relative and professional visitors said the care provided at this home was good. Routines appeared to be relaxed, the people who use the service said that they could get up when they wished and go to bed at a time that suited them. They also confirmed that they were able to talk to the manager and staff whenever they wished if they had any ideas or concerns. Assessments had been made of the people prior to them coming into the home to ensure that their needs could be met. Healthcare records and contacts with outside professionals weredocumented in the care plans. The home was clean, tidy and the staff had endeavoured to ensure that all areas were fresh smelling. There was an established programme of staff training and more than fifty percent of the staff team had obtained their NVQ Level 2.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The care plans contained the correct details of the needs of the people who use the service and what action the staff must take to ensure the care needs are met. The people who use the service rights and best interests are now safeguarded by the homes medication procedures. The manager has produced a system to monitor the medication administration. The providers have produced quality assurance system to ensure that the manager monitors all aspects of the service provision. Records of all checks made on all systems are fully completed and risk assessments are completed with regard to all issues relating to maintaining a safe environment. Staff are now offered regular supervision and the necessary training has been planned to allow them to understand and meet the needs of the people who use the service. The new providers have commenced refurbishment of the areas around the home with damaged decoration, carpets and furniture. The strings light cords have been replaced and refuse bins were fitted with secure lids. The hot water temperatures are now regulated to ensure they are maintained at safe temperatures at all times.

What the care home could do better:

Care plans must be reviewed monthly. The staff should review the practice of putting incontinent pads on all the easy chairs on the lower ground floor. The procedures at breakfast time on the same floor need to be reviewed to ensure that the people who use the service do not have to wait for long periods before their breakfast is served. The manager must ensure that The Commission for Social Care Inspection are notified of all the incidents as detailed in section 37 of The Care Homes Regulations. Two staff should witness all financial transactions made on behalf of the people who use the service.

Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS 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 Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.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): 2, 3 and 6 People who use the service experience a good quality outcome in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who use the service are fully assessed prior to moving into the home to ensure their needs can be met. They are able to have informal introductory visits to the home at the time of their admission; this makes them feel less anxious. The people who receive an intermediate care service receive the care in a dedicated area. This allows staff to provide rehabilitation in one area. EVIDENCE: Detailed full needs assessments had been completed by the referring social worker before a person is admitted to the home. Families had been involved in the assessment process as appropriate. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 People who use the service said at the time of their admission they were able to have informal introductory visits to the home and they had been provided with a contract containing the relevant information. Records checked and discussion with eight people who use the service and one relative confirmed that their families had been involved in decisions regarding the arrangements. The people who receive an intermediate care service receive the care in a dedicated area and they are helped to maximise their independence. An up to date contract/statement of terms and conditions had been provided to the people who use the service and signed copies were retained on individual files. These clearly detailed the services and facilities provided by the home. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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 and 10 People who use the service experience a good quality outcome in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who use the service receive care and support to meet their physical and emotional needs, this allows them to achieve their individual preferences and personal goals. The care plans had not been reviewed on a monthly basis. This does not allow staff to meet the changing needs of the people who use the service. All of the easy chairs in the lower ground lounge had incontinent pads on the seats. This does not promote the dignity of those people who use the service. The systems for the safe administration of medication were satisfactory; this protects the best interests of people living at the home Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 EVIDENCE: The inspector observed staff interacting in a friendly and positive way towards the people who use the service. Bathroom, toilet and bedroom doors were noted to be closed if people were receiving personal care and staff knocked on doors before entering peoples bedrooms or the bathrooms. Three peoples plans of care were checked. Each set out individual needs and the action required and taken by staff to ensure the needs were met. Discussion with four staff and two professional visitors identified that a range of health professionals visited the home to assist in maintaining health care needs. The people who use the service were being weighed on a regular basis. A range of aids to assist them with mobility problems was provided; these included lifting hoists, assisted baths, walking frames and wheelchairs. The care plans had not been reviewed on a monthly basis. All care plans detailed the gender of staff that the person wished to support them with their personal care; they also contained details of their religious and cultural needs. People who use the service and their relatives have been involved with production of the care plans. All of the easy chairs in the lower ground lounge had incontinent pads on the seats; the staff said this was to protect the chairs. There were systems in place for the safe custody and administration of medication; the containers were all clearly labelled, with prescription information fully legible. All items were for named individuals. There were medication administration (MAR) sheets for each service user; these recorded the type of medication, the dosage and how it was to be administered. There were reasonable stock levels of medication kept in the home. Controlled drugs were safely stored and there were two signatories for the administration of controlled drugs. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.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 and 15 People who use the service experience a good quality outcome in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. There is a good range of activities from which people who use the service may choose, for their particular lifestyles. This promotes the wellbeing of service users. People who use the service were supported with maintaining and developing contact with their family and friends, and they said that visitors were always welcome at the home. Which creates a home that people want to visit. A good choice of food was offered at breakfast and lunchtime. Some of the people who use the service were being offered special diets on a regular basis. This promotes their rights. The people who use the service in the lower ground lounge were kept waiting for a long period before breakfast was served. This is not promoting their wellbeing. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 EVIDENCE: The aims and objectives of this home reinforced the importance of treating people with respect. The people who use the service and one relative confirmed that staff were extremely supportive and always encouraged them to become integrated into the local community, when they felt able to do this and with the appropriate staff support provided. Staff confirmed that they were encouraged to support the people who use the service with discovering how to enjoy social situations and activities. All the people spoken with said that they could have visitors whenever they wished. There are a number of lounges and small quiet sitting areas if the people who use the service wish to see their visitors outside of their rooms. The files contained information about any special dietary needs and the people who use the service had been weighed on a regular basis if this was felt to be necessary. Those people, who were able to say, said that the food was good. The inspector observed breakfast and lunch the food provided was of good quality, well presented and a good choice of food was offered. Three people were receiving special diets. It was noted in one dining room that some people who use the service were kept waiting for their breakfast for over one hour. Special cutlery and crockery was provided for those service users who had difficulty using knives and forks.

We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The people who use the service and relatives are confident that their views are listened to and acted upon. Policies, procedures and staff training are in place to protect people who use the service from abuse and harm. EVIDENCE: The complaints procedure was available for people who use the service, visitor, relatives and staff. The manager confirmed that this would be available in alternative formats and languages should this be requested. The people who use the service and one relative spoken to said that they knew that they could complain if they were not happy about anything and that they felt able to discuss any issues or concerns that they may have with the manager and staff. They also said that staff were always available and that they were encouraged to talk about anything that troubled them or caused them anxiety. Since the last random inspection no complaints have been made about this home. The staff had received training on recognising and dealing with abuse. Staff had been made aware of the action to take in dealing with third party information. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The people who use the service live in a spacious, clean and comfortable home with furniture and equipment available, both communally and individually, to meet their needs. This creates a home that people like to live in. The new owners are currently refurbishing parts of the home. This should improve the quality of the environment for the people who use the service. EVIDENCE: All the people interviewed said that the rooms were very clean. At least three bedrooms were checked, all were very homely, highly personalised and contained a range of furniture, including chairs, bedside tables and suitable storage. Most had photos and ornaments. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The lounge areas were spacious and there was a quiet lounge for those who preferred not to sit in the area with the TV on. There were other areas around the home where people who use the service could sit or take visitors if they did not wish to use their rooms. Each floor had a number of toilets and bathrooms and assisted baths were provided for those people with mobility problems. Toilets were easily accessible as they were close to lounge and dining areas. All the toilets had been adapted for people who use the service with physical disabilities and a good supply of equipment was also available for those people. The appropriate seating had been provided in the garden for those wishing to sit outdoors whenever the weather permitted. The home had a proactive infection control policy and they work closely with external specialists, e.g. the Health Authority, Environmental Health and their own staff to ensure infections are minimised.

Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 People who use the service experience a good quality outcome in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The staff team were experienced with a good knowledge of the needs of the people who use the service, enabling them to support the people in maintaining their independence. Staff and the people who use the service said that the staffing levels were always good. Appropriate checks had been made on all the staff; this ensures that vulnerable people are protected. The home had a training and development plan and all staff had completed a range of training relevant to their role. Some staff had not yet completed training on caring for people with physical disabilities. This doe not allow the staff to ensure they meet the special needs of those people who have physical disabilities. 50 of the staff are trained to NVQ level 2. This shows the providers commitment to staff development. EVIDENCE: All the people who use the service who were able to clearly express themselves said that they felt that they were well looked after by the staff and that there were ‘usually’ enough people on duty. They said that the staff worked very hard and described them as “very caring, kind and understanding”. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staff were approachable and sensitive to the needs of the people who use the service and were able to communicate effectively with each person. Three staff files were checked; the files demonstrated that the recruitment processes had been followed as required by the Care Homes Regulations. Criminal record checks had been done for all three staff. Two references had been obtained and no gaps were noted in staff’s employment history. Staff spoken to had an understanding of the home’s fire procedures; they had received training on moving and handling, fire, food safety and infection control, however some staff have still not had training on caring for people with physical disabilities. Staff files checked and discussions with four staff and the manager confirmed that all staff had completed detailed induction training. 50 of the staff team were qualified to NVQ level 2. Staff were being formally supervised at the frequency required to fully ensure individual staff development and the monitoring of care practices Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully.

Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. 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 and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35 and 38 People who use the service experience a good quality outcome in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home has effective quality assurance systems. These include health and safety, and finance. This promotes the best interests of the people who use the service. The manager has not yet completed her NVQ level 4 training. Completion of this training will allow the manager to be more effective. The CSCI has not been notified of all incident required. This is not good management practice. The staff handles money on behalf of some service users but a second individual does not always witness all transactions. This does not protect the people who use the service from financial abuse. All records were available for inspection up to date and securely stored. A safe environment was provided in all parts of the home. This protects the health and welfare of the people who use the service. Gleneagles Nursing Home DS0000021780.V330421.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 EVIDENCE: The manager does not yet have the required management qualification but she is half way through her NVQ level 4 training. She has worked hard recently to improve the service and provide an increased quality of life for the people who use the service.
