This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This routine unannounced visit was made on the 12 December 2005 at 10.00hrs. The inspection was undertaken using the National Minimum Standards for Older People as a reference. The total time spent for the inspection, including pre and fieldwork, amounted to 7.5hrs (excluding time spent on producing/processing the report). The company director and the registered care manager (both registered general nurses) were in charge of the home accompanied by the following staff: One first level and one second level general nurse, and seven care assistants, plus a student nurse. The ancillary staff on duty included; two domestic workers, one laundry worker, a maintenance person, a cook and a catering assistant. The business support person was also on duty. These staffing levels were adequate to meet the needs of the current 33 service users in the home. The total of 33 elderly residents included; 32 receiving nursing care for physical disabilities and one person receiving personal care for needs associated with old age. One of the nursing patients was terminally ill, and the three intermediate care beds were in use. The inspection included the following elements; a tour of the building, inspection of records relating to provision of care, discussions with residents and relatives, discussions with the staff members on duty, observation and sampling of other services provided such as catering and laundry, and an inspection of the managerial aspects such as staffing, quality assurance and health & safety. Since the last inspection there had been no changes to the management of the home. One formal complaint had been received during the past 12 months, and this had been upheld. No additional visits to the home had been necessitated. What the service does well:
Residents and/or their representatives had been able to choose the home, following an assessment and an invitation to visit, prior to admission. Speaking to residents and visitors, and inspecting the admission documentation, confirmed this. Residents and visitors asked said that they had been made aware of the terms and conditions of a stay in the home. The statement of purpose along with the service user guide seen reflected the current status of the different parts of the care home. The above aspects had Rider House Nursing Home DS0000022364.V277046.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 6 ensured that each resident had been suitably placed, and that the home had the ability to meet their assessed needs. It was evident, from discussions with residents and staff and an inspection of the relevant documentation, that the provision of health and social care had been addressed well. Service user plans seen had been well written and were meaningful. The plans were based on the community care plans completed by social workers, and agreed by residents/representatives. There was a good safe system in place for the receipt, storage, administration and disposal of medicines. No errors were noted concerning medicines, and residents asked said that they had their right medicines on time. Privacy, dignity and choice aspects for residents were seen being upheld during the caring process. When asked several residents and relatives said that they were very happy with the health and personal care being delivered by the home. During the past 12 months the number of accidents and reportable events in the home was low and this also reflected the good standards of care being delivered. Activities and entertainment had recently taken place, with a designated member of staff employed. Residents told the inspector that they had appreciated and enjoyed the recent events and activities, and that they were able to choose whether or not to take part. Visitors confirmed that links had been maintained with them, and links had also been maintained with the local community and clergy. Catering aspects were good and records seen showed that individual dietary requirements had been met. Residents spoke of choices and said that they were pleased with the food provided. The inspector sampled the main meal of the day, which met all requirements. Assistance was seen being given to people, by staff who had knowledge of the residents likes and dislikes. All of the above had assisted the residents in their daily living and social activities. No incidents or reports of abuse of any kind had been received since the last inspection and policies and procedures seen covered these issues. One member of staff had left the home following complaints about her approach to residents and fellow staff. Residents confirmed that they had the opportunity to vote, and the manager stated that an advocacy service would be provided if legal or other advice were required. These aspects had contributed to the protection of service users. The home was fit for purpose, and provided a safe environment for the residents, staff and visitors. A homely atmosphere had been created, and the premised were clean, warm and tidy. Adequate areas for residents were provided including; communal space, dining/activity space, bathing/toilet facilities, and bedrooms. Services and facilities including catering and laundry were adequately provided. All residents asked stated that they were happy with the facilities and that they were comfortable with their surroundings. Qualified nurses and teams of care staff provided care.

The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,4,5,6 Residents had been correctly placed in a home of their choice, following assessment of their needs and the provision of information on the service. This had also included the intermediate care beds provided. EVIDENCE: The documentation seen, and a discussion with residents/representatives, evidenced that residents had been assessed prior to admission and they had been enabled to make a choice about the home. All involved had the opportunity to visit the home prior to choosing an admission. Several residents spoken to had visited the home, and had a meal prior to deciding to stay, and this was seen documented within the care plans. The community care plans provided by the social worker, as part of the individual needs assessment process, were seen within the service user plans. Residents asked confirmed that they had been fully involved and were in agreement with the assessments. The records seen and a discussion with the

Discussions had previously taken place between the inspector and the community nursing staff regarding admissions into the intermediate-care beds. It was established that these placements were working well, with a good standard of care being delivered and adequate assessments being undertaken prior to admission. Residents and relatives asked were also aware of the service users guide. The guide and the statement of purpose for the home were seen available, and were up to date and correct. All of the above had contributed to residents being able to make an informed choice about their stay in the home.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10,11 Individual health personal and social care needs, as documented within care plans, had been adequately addressed, with privacy and dignity afforded during the caring process.

The service user plans and associated documentation was well written, meaningful and reflected the current condition of residents. The documentation seen and a discussion with both residents and staff members evidenced that health and personal care needs were being well met. Rider House Nursing Home DS0000022364.V277046.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 NHS facilities and professionals including community nurses, medical consultants and clinical nurse specialists had all been accessed when required, and these events were seen recorded. Local GP practices and a local pharmacist service the home, and there is a good working relationship with them. Records of their visits and outcomes were seen documented. The medicines within the home, medication administration records, controlled drugs book and drugs returned book, were all checked and no errors were noted. It was observed that a safe system was in place, and that the comprehensive medicines policy documentation seen was being complied with. The documentation seen evidenced that only trained nurses administered medicines. No resident was ‘self medicating’, but locked facilities were available. During the inspection it was observed that privacy and dignity were being afforded to residents, and there was very good interaction with staff. Care staff were seen knocking on doors before entering. Two residents told the inspector that they were treated with respect, and that the staff were very good to them. Since the last inspection there had been 13 deaths recorded, which is a low number in view of the sick nursing patients admitted to the home, some of which are in the terminally ill category. Only one resident currently had a pressure area (acquired elsewhere). This aspect was discussed and assurances were given that the area was healing and the correct treatment was being delivered. All of the above evidence satisfied the inspector that the individual health, personal and social care needs of patients and residents had been addressed in the correct manner.
