This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key unannounced inspection was made on the 14 November 2006 @ 09:30hrs. 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 11hrs. The registered care manager (RGN) was in charge of the home accompanied by two first level registered nurses and seven care assistants. The ancillary staff on duty included; 2 domestic workers, laundry worker, maintenance person, and 2 catering staff. The company director and the business support person were also present throughout the inspection. These staffing levels were adequate to meet the needs of the current 35 service users in the home. The total of 35 residents included; 34 people receiving nursing care for physical needs (including 3 terminally ill patients), and 1 receiving personal care for needs associate with old age. The three intermediate care beds were in use. The inspection included the following elements; a tour of the building, observation and inspection of records relating to provision of care, discussions with eight residents and four visitors, discussions with 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 issues, quality assurance and health & safety. Since the last inspection on 12 January 2006 there had been no changes to the management of the home. No additional visits had been necessitated by CSCI. Residents and visitors made positive comments about the home, including; ‘I am very happy here and have no complaints’. ‘I am well satisfied with the home’. ‘I am pretty well satisfied with all aspects of the home’. ‘My father and I appreciate the care being given and the staff are very good’. ‘Its still the same, you can’t beat this, the care is excellent and the staff are very good to us’. Current fees range from; £465 to £520 per week. What the service does well:
Residents and/or their representatives had been able to choose the home, following an assessment undertaken by the nursing staff and an invitation to visit, prior to admission. Asking residents and visitors, and inspecting the admission documentation, confirmed this. The above aspects had assisted in ensuring that each resident had been suitably placed, and that the home had the ability to meet their assessed needs.
Rider House Nursing Home DS0000022364.V316698.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 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 completed and regularly reviewed. The plans were based on the community care plans completed by social workers, and agreed by residents/representatives. There was a 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 incidents in the home was low. Activities and entertainment, arranged by dedicated members of staff, had taken place and were seen documented. 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. Catering aspects were very good and records seen showed that individual dietary requirements had been met. Residents spoke of choices and said that they were generally pleased with the food provided. The inspector observed the main meal of the day, which met all requirements and was well presented. Assistance was seen being given to people with mental health or dementia care needs to help them to make a choice, 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. There was a system in place for the reporting of incidents or reports of abuse of any kind, and policies and procedures seen covered these issues. No complaints had been received by CSCI or recorded in the home. Residents and relatives understood the complaints procedure. These aspects had contributed to the protection of service users. The home was fit for purpose, and provided a safe and secure environment for the residents, staff and visitors. A homely atmosphere had been created and the premised were very 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, and staffed. All residents asked stated that they were happy with the facilities and that they were comfortable with their surroundings. The registered care manager and teams of nurses and care staff provided care. A good working relationship was evident with the local GPs and pharmacist. NHS facilities and both community and hospital health professionals had been accessed when required. Community Psychiatric Nurses were also accessed to meet the mental health needs of service users. Staffing levels and skill mix had been adequate to meet the assessed needs of the existing residents.
Rider House Nursing Home DS0000022364.V316698.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 Recruitment of staff and employment aspects was good. Staff training had been given a high priority, with induction training being followed by NVQ training. In addition to the trained nurses 50 of care assistants were qualified to NVQ level 2 or above. NVQ training and in house training in relevant subjects is on going. These aspects had contributed to the high standards of care being provided by the home. The registered care manager is experienced, but has not yet achieved the registered managers award. The general management, and management of health and safety issues was very good. The documentation seen evidenced that the premises were adequately maintained. All records had been correctly filed and stored. Assurances were given regarding the positive financial viability of the home, and that suitable accounting/business procedures were adopted. The current public liability insurance certificate was seen. There was a safe system of accounting for residents day to day monies and the ledgers reconciled with the money held. Quality assurance systems are in place. All the above had contributed to the protection and well being of residents in the home. Throughout the inspection the people who use, or have contact with, the home expressed only positive views. A folder containing thank you cards and complimentary letters from appreciative relatives was seen. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:

All had been given the opportunity to visit the home prior to choosing to stay. Two 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.

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): Standards 7,8,9,10 The quality outcome for the above standards, based on available evidence and this inspection, is good.

A total of 4 care plans were examined in greater depth. The dementia/mental illness related needs of residents had been documented when applicable, and staff training had been provided covering these issues. NHS facilities and professionals including community nurses, medical consultants and clinical nurse specialists had all been accessed when required,
Rider House Nursing Home DS0000022364.V316698.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 and these events were seen recorded. A good working relationship had been established with community nurses and the community mental health team, and the documentation seen evidenced this. Local GP practices and a pharmacy service the home, and there is a good working relationship with them. Records of their visits and outcomes were seen documented. Currently there are 4 residents with pressure areas (2 acquired elsewhere), and tissue viability aspects were being dealt with in the correct manner and recorded.

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. Several residents told the inspector that they were treated with respect, and that the staff were very kind. Residents, and several relatives, all commented positively about the care being provided. There had been only 22 deaths in the home during the previous 12 months, which is acceptable in view of the numbers of poorly nursing patients and terminally ill patients admitted over this period. All of the above evidence satisfied the inspector that the individual health, personal and social care needs of residents had been addressed in the correct manner.
