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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Outcomes for standard 3 were looked at. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective people to use the service have an assessment of need, however this may not be in sufficient detail to ensure that all their needs can be met. EVIDENCE: During the inspection visit two files of residents recently admitted were examined. One was found to contain an assessment of need from the authority funding that person’s care. The pre admission assessment completed by the home contained very limited information and was not signed or dated. The second file contained a pre admission assessment completed by staff at the home. Again this contained limited information. The home uses an assessment form that is in a tick box format with space for further detailed information. In both cases there was little or no additional information recorded on the forms. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Outcomes for standards 7, 8, 9, & 10 were looked at. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is evidence in the care plan of health care treatment and intervention, and a record of general health care information. There are some gaps in information but staff demonstrate a knowledge of peoples needs and how these are met. EVIDENCE: The acting manager has recently taken up the position, she told the inspector that she has started to carry out an audit of care planning documentation. During the inspection four residents files were examined. In each of the files the inspector identified gaps in recording of information. In all files some assessment documentation was not completed. For example documentation in one file indicated the resident was incontinent, the continence assessment was blank. Another file contained a plan of care relating to falls, again the assessment was not completed despite the recorded actions stating this was to be done. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Other gaps in documentation included non-completion of a catheter history. The care plan relating to this indicated the catheter requires to be changed three monthly, no dates were recorded. It was not possible to ascertain from the documentation if all of the residents current needs had been identified. Documentation in one file seen identified two areas of risk, neither had a specific risk assessment. Care plans seen did not always contain sufficient information about resident’s abilities and preferences. Two plans of care relating to acute needs lacked sufficient evaluation as to current circumstances. Only one file seen included any evidence of discussion and agreement of the resident or their representative. Documentation seen included records of daily events. However there were gaps in the recording of fluid intake for one resident where hydration was being monitored. Evidence was seen that indicated residents are seen by GP’s, district nurses and other health professionals as necessary. People who spoke to the inspector confirmed this. Staff who spoke to the inspector demonstrated through response to questions a good knowledge of the residents, their needs and how these are met. Residents and relatives who spent time with the inspector told her the staff were friendly and respectful. Comments received included ‘staff are very kind’ ‘the care is very good’ and ‘I am looked after well’. A sample audit of medication on the day of the inspection found no major concerns with the ordering, storage and administration of medication. Handwritten entries on the MAR charts did not contain the signature of the person making the entry and were not dated and countersigned to reduce the risk of mistakes when copying information from the pharmacy label or prescription. The inspector was told all medication is administered by qualified nursing staff. The home has recently been subject to an audit carried out by a pharmacist from the PCT and a report was made available. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Outcomes for standards 12, 13, 14, & 15 were looked at. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service are able to make choices about their lifestyle, recreational activities meet individual’s expectations. EVIDENCE: The home has employed an activities coordinator. Staff, residents and relatives spoke of the activities available which include bingo, dominoes, sing a longs and games. One family spoke of a trip to Redcar which was enjoyed by all who went. Residents who spoke to the inspector told her that they preferred to spend the majority of their time either in their own rooms or watching the TV with others in the lounges. The home has links with local churches. Relatives told the inspector that they were always made to feel welcome and could visit at any time. Resident’s plans of care seen contained little information regarding the person’s social history and preferred activities. Residents who spoke to the inspector confirmed staff respect their privacy and they are able to make choices about how they spend their day. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The home uses a four week menu. The inspector was told staff ask residents during the breakfast meal about their choice from that days menu. Staff told the inspector that if the resident did not like the choice an alternative would be offered. Residents who spoke to the inspector told her they enjoyed the meals and were happy with the variety and quality of food offered. One resident said ‘ its all very tasty, another stated ‘ things are cooked well’. Resident’s plans of care seen contained little information as to people’s dietary preferences. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Outcomes for standards 16 & 18 were looked at. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People who use the service are able to express their concerns and have access to a complaints system. EVIDENCE: The homes policy and procedure was seen to be available to residents, relatives and staff. Residents and relatives who spoke to the inspector confirmed they were aware of how to raise any concerns. Information contained in the Annual Quality Assessment Audit completed by the previous manager indicated the home had received 6 complaints during the previous 12 months, and had referred 2 concerns through the safeguarding vulnerable adults procedures. Information given to CSCI indicated there had been 4 referrals during the previous 12 months. Documentation seen at the home was found to be disorganised. The inspector saw records for 3 complaints and 4 safeguarding referrals. Information in this documentation was incomplete. In one case the original letter of complaint was not available, and in all there was no great detail of the investigation that had taken place. Staff who spoke to the inspector said they were aware of the policy in relation to prevention of abuse and were able to describe the action they would take if they had a concern. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 On the day of the inspection the manager was notified of a concern and was seen to report it appropriately. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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’ 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Outcomes for standards 19, 22, & 26 were looked at. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The physical layout of the home enables people who use the service to live in a generally well-maintained and comfortable environment. EVIDENCE: There has been a programme of decoration and some refurbishment at the home. One resident described the home as ‘ a pleasant place to live’. Lounges were seen to be comfortable and the external area was accessible to residents offering an alternative place to sit, weather permitting. During the visit the inspector walked around the building and noted a number of areas that would benefit from further work. It was seen in a number of bedrooms the pillows were ‘lumpy’, bedding was old, worn and in some cases frayed. A number of beds did not have valances exposing either plastic covered bases or metal frames. Furniture in a number Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 of bedrooms has been replaced, however there still remain rooms with the older worn furniture. Bathing facilities would benefit from refurbishment and redecoration, to meet residents increasing dependencies and give a more pleasant and comfortable environment. Two bathrooms seen were being used as storage areas. Two shower rooms had stained flooring, dirty grouting to tiles, missing drain covers and an unpleasant odour from the drain. On the day of the inspection the home was clean, tidy and generally odour free. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.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): Outcomes for standards 27, 28, 29, & 30 were looked at. Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff in the home have not received all the appropriate training to promote the safety and wellbeing of residents. Staff are not always in sufficient numbers to support the people who use the service. EVIDENCE: On the day of the inspection there were 44 residents of varying dependency living at the home. A staffing rota seen on the day of the inspection indicated there were 1 qualified nurse and six care staff on duty on the mornings, one qualified nurse and five care assistants on an evening and one qualified nurse and three care assistance overnight. This did not comply with the Four Seasons Health Care Northern Staffing Grid as to stipulated numbers. Residents and relatives who spoke to the inspector told her there were usually sufficient staff to meet their needs, however there are times when staff response to request for assistance are delayed. Staff who spoke to the inspector said that staffing levels had recently improved, however there were times that numbers of staff on duty decreased due to illness and holiday. The manager told the inspector that no staff had been recruited since she took the position. The files of 2 staff recently recruited were examined, these were found to contain evidence of CRB checks and references obtained prior to employment. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Neither of the references in one file was from the person’s last employer and were from sources not relevant to care work. Information contained on the application forms included an employment history, however the dates provided were incomplete and it was therefore not possible to ascertain if there had been any gaps in employment. There was no evidence in either file of staff having undertaken induction training. The inspector also examined the files of 2 qualified nurses employed at the home, neither contained evidence that there had been any recent check of that persons PIN. A further 4 files of care staff were examined. These were found to contain little evidence of any recent training. Two of the files contained evidence of moving and handling training, another of health and safety training. None contained any recent fire training, first aid or food hygiene. The manager told the inspector 4 staff have recently done Protection of vulnerable adults training and further courses were planned. Other planned training included moving and handling, fire safety and continence. The inspector was told 6 (28 ) of the care staff have achieved NVQ level 2 or above. Roseworth Lodge Nursing Home DS0000000197.V345740.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.
