The inspector made no statutory requirements on the home as a result of this inspection and there were no outstanding actions from the previous inspection report.

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

Service users were well cared for in an environment and atmosphere that was conducive to their welfare. Personnel on duty were observed to treat the service users with friendliness and respect. Areas of the home seen at this inspection were well maintained, clean and orderly. There was a particular emphasis in creating a homely appearance and atmosphere. Service users and the visitor who contributed to the inspection were complimentary about the personnel in the home, the manager being described as approachable and helpful and the staff as "very nice", "kind, attentive and helpful". One stated, "I wouldn`t want to live anywhere else". Service users confirmed that they were satisfied with the daily routines in the home. Compliments were passed about the provision for their meals, " The food is good", "Meals are nice and we get enough". The home was accommodating four service users who were frail and had been confined to bed for a considerable time. The arrangements for their care were good and had ensured that they had remained comfortable in their beds with no lasting deterioration to the condition of their skin.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Staffing arrangements at night had improved significantly. Two waking night staff were scheduled each night rather than the previous arrangement of one waking member of staff and another sleeping in. Action had also been taken on other requirements from the previous report to introduce a report about the quality audit of the service. The Fire and Rescue Service had been consulted about fire safety arrangements. Recommendations from the report had also been met in relation to maintaining records and plans for staff training and to assess service users` abilities to hold keys to their bedrooms.

What the care home could do better:

It had been suggested to the proprietor after the previous inspection that the conditions of registration be reviewed in relation to the provision for people who have a mental disorder. As this has not happened the service must demonstrate that it has the capability to meet such needs. This means that staff must receive suitable training to enable them to understand the needs of those with a mental disorder and how these would be best met. The manager, who has not undertaken any such training, must undertake a comprehensive course in the management of such a service. There also needs to be further training for staff in meeting the needs of those with dementia. The manager must also under take such training. New personnel must undergo thorough induction training. Recruitment of personnel must include the obtaining of two satisfactory references, and the receipt of all necessary checks on previous employment history before employment commences. Staff must use safe manoeuvres to move and handle service users. Service users must not be admitted unless a current assessment of need has been obtained/carried out to ensure that the home has the capability to care for service users properly. This requirement is exempt for emergency admissions. The decision to omit the use of wheelchair footrests when transporting service users must be qualified by an assessment of the risks involved. Accurate records must be maintained for the administration of Controlled Drugs.

Categories: Older people with physical disorders, mental disorders or dementia OP, PD(E), MD(E), DE(E). 9th February 2006 Date of last inspection Brief Description of the Service: Rosedale is a large three-storey home located in a residential suburb of Luton within a mile of the town centre. There are local shops, parks and churches close by. The home is registered to provide care for 20 service users with a variety of needs. The registration for physical disabilities was not applicable because the home could accommodate those with physical disabilities associated with the onset of old age under the Older Persons category. Accommodation is provided on three floors linked by stairs and a passenger lift. All the bedrooms are single rooms. Communal accommodation consists of a lounge/diner on both the ground and first floor and a conservatory off the ground floor lounge. Some off-road car parking is available at the front of the home with time limited road parking available on the street outside the home. Whilst there was no advertised list of fees the manager stated that these ranged from £395 to £410 per week. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This report sets out the significant evidence that has been collated by the Commission for Social Care (CSCI) since the last visit to and public report on, the home’s service provision in February 2006. Reports from the home and other statutory agencies, and information gathered at the site visit to the home, which was carried out on 25th July 2006, from 11.15 to 17.30 hours, were taken into account. The visit to the home included a review of the case files for three service users, conversations with five service users, a visitor to the home, two members of staff and the manager. Much of the time was spent with service users in the ground floor lounge/diner, where the daily lifestyle was observed. A partial tour of the building was carried out and other records were reviewed. The home had a friendly, family run atmosphere and provided a good standard of care for its service users. What the service does well: Service users were well cared for in an environment and atmosphere that was conducive to their welfare. Personnel on duty were observed to treat the service users with friendliness and respect. Areas of the home seen at this inspection were well maintained, clean and orderly. There was a particular emphasis in creating a homely appearance and atmosphere. Service users and the visitor who contributed to the inspection were complimentary about the personnel in the home, the manager being described as approachable and helpful and the staff as “very nice”, “kind, attentive and helpful”. One stated, “I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else”. Service users confirmed that they were satisfied with the daily routines in the home. Compliments were passed about the provision for their meals, “ The food is good”, “Meals are nice and we get enough”. The home was accommodating four service users who were frail and had been confined to bed for a considerable time.

Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 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 Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3,4,6. Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. Insufficient information about a service user’s needs had been obtained before the decision to admit the service user to the home had been made to determine whether the home had the capacity to meet assessed needs. There was a risk therefore that some needs would not be met. EVIDENCE: The case file for a service user who had been admitted the day before the inspection visit was assessed. There were few documents on file. The assessment of need was headed “Ambassador House”, which is a residential home also owned by the proprietor of Rosedale. The assessment was dated 18th May 2006. The manager stated that the service user had stayed at Ambassador House previously and that she would be obtaining more detailed assessment and care planning documents from the home later that day. Given that the record indicated that the service user had complex needs, including issues for care at night, personnel must be given sufficient information to ensure they can properly care for service users. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 There had been inadequate training for personnel in meeting the needs of those with a mental disorder. Only four members of the team had received any training. There was no evidence to show that this training had been in sufficient depth. Documents available only identified the name of the course. There was no information to show the course content. The home did not provide an intermediate care service. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. Whilst there were some omissions to record keeping it was evident that staff were sufficiently versed with service users’ needs to care for them. EVIDENCE: Three care plans were assessed. That for a service user who had lived in the home for a significant time provided much guidance to the service user’s needs. Case files were also assessed for two service users who had been recently admitted to the home. The plan for a service user who had been admitted three days before the inspection visit was blank except for the preadmission assessment of need provided by the Local Authority. The manager stated that the care planning document would be completed that day. There was no care plan for the service user, mentioned previously in Standard 3, who had been admitted the previous day. The manager must ensure that sufficient written guidance pertaining to service users’ needs are introduced shortly after admission even though these plans may be subject to revision as the home becomes more conversant with individual’s needs. Priority must be given to Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 needs that require an assessment of risk to prevent the service user from coming to harm. Records and conversations with a service user and a service user’s relative identified that satisfactory arrangements had been in place to meet service users’ healthcare needs. A service user stated that they had seen their doctor promptly when they had been unwell and had received regular chiropody treatment and routine dental and optical check ups. A senior member of staff was observed as she administered the lunchtime medications. Her practice followed safe procedures. During a subsequent conversation the senior carer demonstrated that she was aware of safe practice. Medications were secured in a trolley for safe transportation around the home. When not in use the trolley was secured in a walk in cupboard. The cupboard also contained a metal wall cupboard for the storage of Controlled Drugs. Records seen for the administration of medications had been properly recorded with two exceptions. There were no times on the record for two entries to show when the drugs had been given. There were no staff signatures against these entries. The manager felt that this was an oversight. Given that other medication records were satisfactory, the inspector was also of this opinion and was confident that the manager would ensure that this would be an isolated incident. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. Service users had been supported to experience a lifestyle that, where practical to do so, met their needs and expectations. EVIDENCE: The home had a relaxed atmosphere that was conducive to service users’ wellbeing. It was noted that a few service users with cognitive impairment wished to wander a little. This need was accommodated. Staff only intervened when service users seemed unhappy with this pursuit or were encroaching on other service users. These interventions were handled with tact and kindness. Service users had been provided with opportunities to participate in a range of meaningful activities, including a monthly ecumenical religious service and a fortnightly visit by a provider of armchair exercises. A service user commented that there was plenty to do but that they didn’t always wish to join in. The service user’s wishes had been respected. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 A service user and a relative confirmed that visitors were welcomed into the home. The visitor stated that staff were friendly and kept her up to date with her relative’s care and any changes in need. Records showed that service users had been consulted about their preferences for the routines of daily life. One service stated they could get up and go to bed as they wished and that there had been no pressure to take part in activities that were not to their liking. Service users expressed satisfaction with meals and beverages. A meal was observed in progress. It looked and smelt appetising. Service users confirmed that it was tasty. One service user confirmed that that plenty of drinks were served throughout the day and that they were served a hot drink in their bedroom in the mornings and again when after retiring for the night. Menus were assessed and showed a nutritious choice for each meal. The cook on duty was knowledgeable about service users’ preferences and their nutritional needs. It was noted that those who required assistance to take their meals were given appropriate support. Those who required liquidised food were served with meals where different portions of the meal had been liquidised separately to maintain the appearance of the meal. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16,18. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. Whilst recruitment practice was unsatisfactory, checks had established that service users had been protected from abuse by ensuring that members of staff with a previous history of abuse were not employed. EVIDENCE: Previous reports had commented that the home’s written complaints procedure was satisfactory. The manager reported that there had been no complaints for a significant time. A service confirmed that they felt able to raise concerns if need be. The manager was readily available to service users; her daily routine was to administer the morning medication and then to greet each service user. Records indicated that eleven of the eighteen staff had undertaken training in adult protection procedures. Staff explained that their induction had also included an overview of protection issues and showed that they understood their responsibilities for the protection of service users. Records also showed that recruitment practice had included applications to the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) First register for disclosures. The record for one employee showed that they had been employed on a POVA First check, before the receipt of the CRB disclosure. The manager explained that the employee had not had any unsupervised access to service users until receipt of the CRB disclosure. There was no evidence however to show that the employee had informed about this Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 condition of employment or whether co-workers were also aware. Personnel must not commence employment until both disclosures have been obtained. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. The premises were suitable for the care of service users accommodated at this inspection. EVIDENCE: As noted previously standards of comfort and cleanliness were good. The home provided individual bedroom accommodation, over the three floors. The majority of the rooms did not have en-suite facilities; all had wash hand basins. A previous report had commented, “Although all the bedrooms were in excess of 10sq.m, the shape and layout of some did not make them suitable for those service users who had mobility problems and needed to use of wheelchairs and hoists.” The registration for twenty service users with physical disabilities was therefore not appropriate. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Risk assessments in relation to the environment were seen. They had been reviewed this year. Safety aspects covered included, routine testing of electrical equipment, safe handling and storage of hazardous substances, risks of burns and scalds, infection control, use of equipment and maintenance of the same, flooring doors and smoking. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,29,30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. Whilst there were some gaps in the staff training provision, the collective skills of the team meant that service users had been mostly well cared for. EVIDENCE: The majority of the staff had worked in the home for a significant time and were well acquainted with service users and the routines of the home, which appeared to operate well. Staff had been supported to work effectively. Rotas indicated that a member of the senior team was on duty on most day shifts. Members of staff confirmed that they had been given sufficient support and guidance to carry out their work. Recruitment and training records for two personnel were assessed. It was explained that recent recruits were employed to work in all three of the proprietor’s residential homes. The files showed that one person had been employed with one reference only and before the receipt of a CRB disclosure. There were no records of interview processes as should be in place to evidence good recruitment practice. The records of induction for both members of staff were poor. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The overall training record showed that most aspects of statutory training had been met and further training was scheduled for the remainder of the year. Gaps in training were as previously reported in relation to induction, dementia care and understanding mental disorder. There was also a need to review manual handling practice. Two members of staff were observed to transfer two service users using the “drag lift”. This method of handling has been identified for a number of years as an unsuitable manoeuvre that can result in injury to the service user. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35,36,37,38. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the home. The home had been well managed to the benefit of service users and staff. EVIDENCE: Comments from the previous report were still applicable, “The day-to-day operation of the home was well organised. It was evident that the manager had taken daily opportunities to monitor the actual delivery of the service to the residents (service users) in the home……..It was encouraging to note that the some supervisory and other management tasks had been appropriately delegated to members of the senior staff so that the professional management of the home was carried by a team rather than just one person, which can result in a slide in standards during a manager’s absence. Rosedale Care Home DS0000062137.V304524.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 There were systems in place to enable service users and their representatives to comment on the service provision.” The home did not hold money on behalf of service users. The home’s policy was for service users to hold their own monies or where they are unable to do so for their families to act on their behalf. Service users’ representatives were invoiced for extra charges for hairdressing and private healthcare treatments such as chiropody. The manager stated that supervision for personnel was in place but the provision for some staff had not happened with the frequency set out in the standard. Records seen had mostly been maintained to a good standard. Omissions noted were those already stated with regard to assessment and care planning arrangements and the records for the administration of medicines. The rota for the week of the inspection visit was not accurate; one senior, two carers and the cook were shown on the rota for the day of the visit with no working times entered against their names. First names only were entered on the rota. Entries must show times at which shifts have been scheduled to commence and finish and detail employees’ last names. Risk assessments were in place in relation to the management of safety. The safety arrangements were marred by the poor moving and handling practice observed at the inspection visit. It was also noted that one service user was transported in a wheelchair without having the footrests in situ. The manager stated that this was the service user’s preference. Such arrangements must be qualified through risk assessment.
