What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The service is good at treating the residents as individuals, ensuring their person-centred plans cover all their assessed needs and that the residents are fully involved in the process of developing and reviewing them. The personcentred plans are well illustrated and describe in clear language a holistic plan of care for the individual, whose likes and dislikes, opinions and aspirations are fully explored. Those things, which mean the most to the individual, are described in their own words and the support required bringing those wishes to fruition. The care plans are reviewed regularly confirming that the resident`s changing needs are being addressed. Minutes of the review meetings are recorded from the resident`s point of view and in a format accessible to them. Health protocols ensure that the individual`s personal and healthcare needs are assessed and that support was provided in the way that they preferred and required.The home has strong links with the local community, makes good use of the facilities and resources available and the residents have a full programme of activities based on their individual needs and choices. Throughout the day, the staff were observed interacting with the residents and the relationships were warm, supportive, friendly, encouraging and respectful.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The organisation has appointed a manager who is now registered with the CSCI. A number of requirements from the previous report have been effectively completed within the agreed time scales.

Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced site visit was conducted as part of a key inspection using the Commission’s ‘Inspecting for Better Lives’ (IBL) process. The site visit took place over 4.5 hours commencing at 09:30 am and ending at 14.00 pm and was undertaken by Mr K Dunn, regulation inspector. The manager was not on duty, but the senior care worker was available and assisted with the inspection process. Three residents allowed their bedrooms to be viewed as part of the inspection process. All the residents were spoken with throughout the visit. The residents and staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. The residents had previously been assisted by staff to complete comment cards for preinspection data. An annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) was supplied to the home by CSCI, and this was completed and returned. Information from the AQAA will be referred to in this report. The AQAA states that the home has policies and procedures to promote equality and diversity and all staff have received training, to increase their knowledge and awareness of these issues. Three residents’ files were inspected including their person-centred plans, reviews, risk assessments, medical information and weekly schedules. The recruitment process of five staff members was reviewed and the staff training and development logs viewed. Menus, staff rotas, health and safety certificates and the complaints and compliments log were sampled. The preinspection material supplied by the home and information received since the previous key site visit, as recorded on the inspection record, was also used in compiling this report. What the service does well: The service is good at treating the residents as individuals, ensuring their person-centred plans cover all their assessed needs and that the residents are fully involved in the process of developing and reviewing them. The personcentred plans are well illustrated and describe in clear language a holistic plan of care for the individual, whose likes and dislikes, opinions and aspirations are fully explored. Those things, which mean the most to the individual, are described in their own words and the support required bringing those wishes to fruition. The care plans are reviewed regularly confirming that the resident’s changing needs are being addressed. Minutes of the review meetings are recorded from the resident’s point of view and in a format accessible to them. Health protocols ensure that the individual’s personal and healthcare needs are assessed and that support was provided in the way that they preferred and required. Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 The home has strong links with the local community, makes good use of the facilities and resources available and the residents have a full programme of activities based on their individual needs and choices. Throughout the day, the staff were observed interacting with the residents and the relationships were warm, supportive, friendly, encouraging and respectful. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: The ratio of staff having achieved or in the process of achieving a National Vocational Award Qualification should be improved to ensure that qualified and competent staff support residents and to professionalize the workforce. The management of the home needs to review the staffing levels to ensure residents are safe at all times. In the event of an emergency it is unsafe for one member of staff to be in the home with five residents. The home needs an office, currently there is a small table in the hall opposite the front door, and any management duties are undertaken there. This is not appropriate when making calls or discussing residents with staff, under the data protection act there is a lack of confidentiality. The computer is positioned on a table in the residents lounge. None of the residents are able to use the computer at the moment, they require training in this area. However there is still outstanding requirement from previous site visits (21/06/05, 28/04/06 & 25/08/06) requiring the front and back garden to be made secure and private for the residents. The kitchen floor must be made level or replaced. (Timescale 21/06/05, 28/04/06, 25/08/06 not met). An annual development plan must be drawn in respect of the care home. (Timescale 21/06/05, 28/04/06 25/08/06 not met). Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 inspection.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 19 and 26 were assessed during this inspection. Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Internally the residents live in comfortable and homely environment, although hazards to residents’ health and safety have not been addressed. However there is still a two outstanding requirement from three previous site visits (21/06/05, 28/04/06 & 25/08/06) requiring the front and back garden to be made secure and private for the residents. The home is clean and hygienic ensuring that the residents have a pleasant home to live in. EVIDENCE: The home was found to be clean and tidy. Some of the residents like to be involved with the cleaning in their bedrooms and other jobs around the house. During the course of this visit two residents were seen cleaning and tiding not only their bedrooms but parts of the communal areas as well. The bedrooms were individual and the residents were proud to show the inspector their bedrooms and their choices in colours and furnishing for their private areas. Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Internally the home is decorated and furnished to a good standard, but improvements urgently need to be made in some areas to safeguard resident’s health and safety. The floor in the laundry is uneven and must be considered a serious trip hazard, to residents and staff. There is also an outstanding requirement on making the kitchen floor level, again because of potential trips (Timescales of 21/06/05, 28/04/06 and 25/08/06 have not been met). This is also referred to at Standard 38, which relates to health and safety. In addition there is an urgent need for external maintaince to be carried out to ensure that the gutters are free from debris and possible water penetration. The garden was also subject to requirements from the previous reports and again this was not actioned. The garden still requires to be fenced front and back to ensure residents have privacy and are safe when opening the patio door. (Not met 28/07/06) The home is still using the hallway opposite the front door as an office. This practices was discussed during the previous site visit when it was demeaned unacceptable for staff to be discussing residents, making telephone calls about residents in the hallway. It also still the practice for staff to use the computer, which is situated on a table in the lounge/dining, area of the home. The residents are currently not able to use the computer until they have received appropriate training. This was previously discussed (25/08/06) as a direct infringement on the resident’s home and an alternative space for this must be found. Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.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): Standards 27, 28, 29 and 30 were assessed during this inspection. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The arrangements for staffing must be reviewed to ensure that sufficient numbers of staff are on duty to meet the needs of residents. Training is continual. Recruitment and vetting practices are good safeguarding the welfare of service users. The arrangements for the induction training of staff is well developed. EVIDENCE: Staffing levels at Pinewood must be reviewed the inspector was informed that the home is normally staffed two cares on both early and late shifts and one carer over night. The manager operates out of Pinewood and the care home next door. This level could cause potential problems during peak times if an incident occurs and one member of staff is has to react to rectify the predicament. Two members of staff have completed National Vocational Qualifications (level 3) and one member pf staff has recently started to work towards the qualification. Each member of staff has their own training record in place and it was evident that staff have received mandatory training in safeguarding adults, fire, food handling, food hygiene manual handling, health and safety, first aid and managing medication. The inspector was informed that staff have all received training in recognising the residents rights and ensuring they are treated with dignity at all times. Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The home had a policy on staff recruitment and it was confirmed that prospective employees are vetted before being employed by the home. The inspector sampled staff recruitment files which contained completed application forms, written references, statement of terms and conditions, training records, CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) disclosure information, a recent photograph of the employee and staff have copies of the GSCC (General Social Care Council) code of practice to safeguard the welfare of the residents. The inspector noted staff recruitment files were securely stored in the office of the neighbouring home to promote confidentiality. The files must be kept on site and is further evidence to support the needs to supply Pinewood with a secure office of its own. Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.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 benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. 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): Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 were assessed during this inspection. Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Although many aspects of the home’s operation are effectively managed, there has been a consistent failure by the home to comply with requirements set over the last 3 CSCI site visits and as a result the overall safety of the residents could be compromised. EVIDENCE: The manager who was registered by the CSCI in January 2007 is meeting the general day-to-day management of the home. The manager oversees two care home next door to one and other this practices should be reviewed to enable the service to be more effectively managed by one person on site in a full time capacity. However weaknesses have been noted in the management and organisational structures of the home, requirements that have been made over the course of Pinewood DS0000013749.V340317.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 three previous site visits (21/06/05, 28/04/06 and 25/08/06) concerning the health and safety of the residents have not been met and rectification of these must now be an urgent priority. Please refer to pages 23 and 24 of this report. The inspector received pre- inspection information (AQAA), which indicates that the organisation provides a range of policies, and procedures, which have been updated with the manger bringing this information to staff attention during staff meetings. The inspector reviewed policies, which clearly demonstrated consistent reviews in line with information received from the AQAA. There is clear indication that for the most parts the home is in deed run with the best of the residents and the CSCI have received comment cards from the residents and there families that would indicate that staff listen to them and act on what they say. In addition records at the home indicate that the residents are supported to have a voice and to come forward with thoughts and requests if they have any. The inspector was informed that the staff are responsible for supporting the residents manages their own finances. The inspector was also told that all of the residents have their own bank accounts and money is paid from their bank account for their fees, accommodation and care. One member of staff stated that the resident’s manage their own day-to-day personal finances and allowance with staff support. It is the responsibility of the staff to record all transactions in individual ledgers to ensure open and accountable financial dealings. The inspector was informed that the ledgers are regularly audited by the organisation and have been randomly scrutinised by an outside auditors. An amenity fund covers resident’s holidays and outings. The home had a policy on health and safety and staff have training in health and safety, fire safety, food hygiene, infection control and other relevant and appropriate training. Further evidence confirmed the home had a policy on COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health) with products stored in a locked cupboard to promote safety. A random review of records indicated the home had a gas safety certificate dated 21/05/07, fire alarm certificate dated 14/06/07, Assisted bath check certificate dated 11,05,07 and service inspection records pertaining to fire safety, emergency lighting and other equipment were up to date and valid.
