Inspection on 31/10/07 for Reinwood Avenue

Also see our care home review for Reinwood Avenue for more information

This inspection was carried out on 31st October 2007.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Good. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found no outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report, but made 2 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

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 home provides people with written information in a choice of formats that meet people`s needs. This is good practice. It was apparent that staff are knowledgeable about the people in their care. One relative said since their relative came to live at the home he has gained confidence and his quality of life has improved. People are supported to attend activities outside of the home. Staff are given training to meet the needs of the people in their care. Comments made from relatives indicated that staff support people to stay in contact with family and friends.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Each person now has a care plan which sets out the full range of needs. It is acknowledged that some work had been carried out to organise and make information easy to find. The process has started to record people`s physical and emotional health care needs and any identified risk in a care plan. The manager said the accident records are monitored as part of the regulation 26 monthly visits by the operation manager. This helps them look for any patterns in behaviour and links between incidents. Since the last inspection the source of the odour had been identified and floor covering and furniture replaced. The manager and staff said they have monthly supervision, and that monthly key worker meetings take place with the manager or senior support worker. From discussions with staff it was clear that they understood their role within the home and the service they deliver to people. The information for people who live at the home and their relatives/advocates now shows details of the services not included in the fees. A new house number plate has been fitted to the front door. Staff have had training and are supported to maintain care files and records.

What the care home could do better:

The manager of the home must continue to communicate a clear sense of direction and leadership to ensure the records are in order and underpin the care being given. Lines of accountability within the home must be clearly understood. The registered provider must ensure the manager has enough time in the home to carry out her duties fully and ensure records are well organised and of a satisfactory standard.

Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection report is divided into separate sections for each outcome group for example Choice of Home. An overall judgement is made for each outcome group based on the findings of the inspection. The judgements reflect how well the service delivers outcomes to the people using the service. The judgements categories are “excellent”, “good”, “adequate” and “poor”. The judgements are recorded within the main body of this report. More detailed information about these changes is available on our website – www.csci.org.uk One inspector carried out an unannounced inspection, which started on 31 October and was completed on 5 November 2007 with feedback to the manager and the senior support worker. Some feedback was given to the senior support worker who was the person in charge of the home on the first day of the inspection. The purpose of this inspection was to make sure the home was providing a good standard of care for the people living there. The term people who use the service will be used throughout the report when referring to the people who live at the home. No arrangement had been made with the home to carry out the inspection. The home had been sent an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) self-assessment form to complete. This form gives the home and the organisation an opportunity to put forward their views on how they provide their service to people using it or wanting to. The methods used at this inspection included looking at care records, observing working practices and talking with people who live there and staff. Information gained from a pre-inspection questionnaire and the home’s service history records were also used. Before the visit, comment cards were sent out to service users, relatives and visiting professionals to the home. Two of these have been returned and this information has also been used in the preparation of this report. There were no visitors to the home on the day of the visit. Thank you to everyone for the pre-inspection information, returned comment cards and for the hospitality and assistance on the day of the visit. Requirements and recommendations made during this visit can be found at the end of the report.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1& 2. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. There is sufficient information about the home available to people to make sure they can make a choice about living at the home. People are provided with enough information to enable them to make an informed choice about the home. The admission process is good and includes introductory visits. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The Statement Of Purpose and Service User Guide have been produced in an easy read format, using large print and pictures. They give detailed information on what the service can provide. People have a contract with the organisation with all costs listed in them. Service users’ needs had been assessed before they moved into the home to make sure the home could meet their needs. Before people move in, the assessment process starts with a “getting to know you” document. This helps the home decide if and how people’s needs can be Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 met. Only then is a moving in date arranged. The two relatives who responded to surveys said they were quite happy with the process. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7 & 9. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. The home is good at meeting the care needs of the people who use the service but records do not consistently provide evidence of this. There are safe practices in handling Medication and people’s healthcare needs are met. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Each person has a care plan, which in the main, are detailed. There were some good personal details about individual care needs documented. However, review and update of care was not always clear. Although care plans give staff specific instructions on care needs and they have been developed from assessments of people’s needs. They were in Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 several formats and needed to be organised, so that information is more accessible. All staff are involved in developing the care plans and updating them as needs change. It was apparent from observation, discussion with staff, survey information from relatives and health professionals that staff were very knowledgeable about the care needs of the people they were looking after. One relative said “ we are kept informed and told everything”, “at his review We sit and discuss what going on and make decisions about his future”. Risk assessments have been completed for people, and in some cases were part of the care planning process. Since the last inspection a format to record individual key worker meetings with people to evaluate their care has been put in place. However this is not effective as people have no verbal communication and cannot really participate in the process, to make sure that any change in their care needs in reflected in their care plan. Some work has started on people’s last wishes. The organisation has now put in place a document “ when I die “, a record sheet to record information on what things people would like to happen when they die. This, however does not provide staff with any information, that they can use to make a plan of care to support people in their last days. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,15 15 & 17. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. The home offers opportunities to people who use the service for their personal development and social and leisure activities. Effort is made to provide people with a balanced diet, but no nutritional risk assessments are carried out for people, to give staff information that would help them to identify people who are at risk. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: People are involved in a variety of activities, such as doing activities with other agencies, shopping, and meals out. People are supported and encouraged to meet up with friends and to keep in contact with their families. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Peoples’ relatives told us: • • • • One person said they have offered to bring my son me if I cannot get to visit him at the home. Two staff took my son away abroad on holiday, which was quite satisfactory. Staff brought my son to see me when I was in hospital, they also took him to see my father and took him the funeral. They take him out, so he meets other people and arrange things for him to do and take him on holiday. As well as outside activities people enjoy activities in the home as a group or individually. The inspector was told that there are plans in place for a sensory garden. The lack of drivers in the staff team has an impact on how often the home vehicle is used. However it was evident that use of taxis and public transport is encouraged. There is use of shared transport with another home within the organisation. There is a menu plan for four weeks at the home. However, if people wanted something different to what is on the menu, this can be done like “take away “ food which staff said depended on people’s choice. Staff appeared to know what people liked and did not like. Despite one person having some problems with eating and a dietician being involved in his care there was no evidence that people’ nutritional needs had been assessed and no regular review for risk such as overweight and underweight. People’s weights were not regularly recorded. It was evident from information in people’s assessments that they were at risk of choking, each had a risk assessment, but no clear plan of action to be taken to manage or minimise the risk. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18,19 & 20. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. People who use the service are supported with their personal and health care in a way that meets their individual needs. People are protected by the organisation’s policies and procedure for safe handling of medication. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Staff supports people with their personal care needs in private and with dignity. It was noted on the day of the inspection, that people are well dressed in clothing appropriate to their age and needs. Staff have good knowledge of peoples preferences on personal care. Staff said that one person had a particular shirt, which he likes to wear when he went to the day centre. This was not recorded in the care plan. Staff surveys said the home supports people in meeting their needs. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Care plans also have details of any health professionals that people see. These included, GP, dentist, district nurse, and chiropodist. Records are kept of any health appointments and their outcome. Staff always accompany people on all their appointments. One health care professional said: “The home carers support people to appointments and activities which are offered to benefit, their health needs. However sometimes this is difficult due to staffing levels, but they seem to try to honour appointments”. One relative said “ I get telephone call or letters telling me how he is progressing”. The home uses a monitored dosage pre-packed system for medicines. All staff have had training on a twelve week course on safe handling of medication. There are good ordering and checking systems in place, with a clear audit trail for any unused medication returned to the pharmacy. The medication administration record (MAR) sheets were checked and showed no errors. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People and their representative’s concerns are listened to and acted upon. People are protected from abuse by the home’s policies and procedures on adult protection. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints procedure displayed in the entrance to the home. The complaint procedure has been produced in an easy words and pictorial format to make it more accessible to all. One relative who returned a survey card commented they did not know how to complain, but felt it was best to know, should the need arise. But felt they had not had any cause to be concerned to date. Another relative said if they had any concerns “ I phone and ask questions if they say they will phone back they do and reply”. Staff spoken to said they are aware of the complaints procedure, the procedure was displayed on the wall in the hallway. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staff have received training on the protection of vulnerable adults. They were able to say what action they would take if they suspected abuse or had an allegation of abuse made to them. They were also able to describe the different types of abuse. People were quite clear of their awareness’ of the whistle blowing procedure and had no problem to use it if they had to. They were also aware of the named person in the organisation who they would contact. Staff have CRB checks every and three years there is ongoing training on dealing with aggression. Good records are kept of people’s finances and their monies are kept safe. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24 & 30. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. People live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The environment is comfortable and well kept there are communal sanitary facilities that allow for full assistance from staff. Peoples’ rooms are furnished and the addition of personal items makes the rooms homely to reflect the individual’s own tastes and interests. Although most areas of the home seen were well maintained there were several shortfall that needs to be addressed. The bathrooms were showing signs of wear and tear. Paint was peeling, seals around the bath were showing Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 signs of mould and although the bath itself was fully working this was again showing signs of age and wear and tear. Individual personal laundry is carried out, the laundry was organised and everyone has a personalised basket for their laundry. . The home was clean, no odour throughout. Staff have received training in infection control and were able to say what infection control measures are in place. Liquid soap and disposable towels was available at all sinks, to make sure of good hand washing hygiene. The home has a large garden, which the manager said plans were in place to create a sensory garden with seating so that people can make good use of, especially in the summer months. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 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 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32,34 & 35. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. Overall, there were enough staff to meet the needs of the people living at the home. People are protected by robust recruitment procedures. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: There are staff on duty throughout the day and night. There are usually two staff on the morning shift, two staff on the afternoon shift and one additional staff member per day on occasions, depending on the needs and activities of people. During the night there is one member of staff available to people who use the service with an on call arrangement from the organisation. One relative said “ possible a little more staff sometimes during the weekend as it always seem to be short at this time”. Since the last inspection the home has employed a full time care support worker. The manager said she keeps staffing levels under review to make sure staff levels properly meet people’s needs. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Two files of the last staff employed at the home were look at. In the main recruitment is properly managed by the organisation. Interviews are held, references and CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) checks are obtained before staff start work and checks are made to make sure staff are eligible for work. The manager said the organisation carries out CRB checks every three years, however one staff said they have not had a CRB check since they have been employed. Staff training was up to date, records of staff training are held by the organisation’s training section. A training matrix was seen with updates of courses to make sure training doesn’t get missed. Staff said they are given a good range of training, which supports them in delivering care to people who use the service. Two members of staff have achieved an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification) in level 2 or above. Staff said they felt they have a good team with good support from the manager and senior support worker. They felt communication and teamwork within the home is good. Regular staff meetings are held. Staff receive supervision by the manager or the senior support worker and have an annual appraisal of their performance. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 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 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39 & 42. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. The management structures the organisation has put in place in the home ensure, it is managed in the best interest of the people living at the home, people are safe. We have made this judgment using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has completed the Registered Managers Award and plans to start NVQ level 4 in January 2008. The manager also manages another small home in the organisation, she works two and half days at each home. Some of the management responsibility has been delegated to the senior support worker. This was a concern at the last inspection and this inspection. Reinwood Avenue DS0000001401.V354276.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 This was discussed with the manager who said senior line management has made a decision to employ a part time senior support worker to also share responsibility to make sure that the home is well managed in the absence of the registered manager. People who live in the home are safe and staff have access to one of the home’s management staff during the day. Presently, the senior support worker has 16 hours supernumerary hours and there are plans in place to also give supernumerary hours to the part time worker. The manager said she works alongside staff to make sure of good practice. The senior support worker uses shift handover times to complete management tasks. Monthly visits are made by a senior line manager to the home to carry out regulation visits, which involve talking to people who use the service and staff about the home. A report of these visits is made showing details of any action to be taken to improve the service. In addition to this, annual questionnaires are sent out to families, staff and health care professionals. The manager said people’s care plan reviews are also used as quality audit be getting feedback from relatives about the service provided. Maintenance records were well kept, environmental risk assessments were completed and up to date. Fire training is carried out all staff according to the records seen. Staff have access to a range of comprehensive policies and procedures, which they have the opportunity to read and become familiar during their induction.
