Inspection on 22/11/05 for Searchlight Workshops - Powell House

Also see our care home review for Searchlight Workshops - Powell House for more information

This inspection was carried out on 22nd November 2005.

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 there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report. These are things the inspector asked to be changed, but found they had not done. The inspector also made 9 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

Residents spoken with confirmed that their needs are being met at the home. There has been a recent change in management, which has proved positive for staff and residents. Staff were observed to have a good professional rapport with residents and treated them with dignity and respect. Residents choose their own lifestyles and routines of daily living.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Residents confirmed that the provision of activities and food has improved. Medication procedures are more robust. Work is continuing to be done towards ensuring all residents are provided with their own bank accounts. The reader should be aware that although there remain a number of outstanding requirements, a new manager commenced employment about two months ago and there was evidence that a lot of work has already been done to address the shortfalls.

What the care home could do better:

All requirements relating to the environment and provision of facilities have not been reflected as outstanding. A new timescale has been set with agreement of the organisation. Care plans still require some work to ensure that all needs of residents are clearly documented and met. Clearer guidelines need to be provided for staff to follow in the event of an allegation of abuse being made. The `gifts to staff` policy needs reviewing as a matter of priority.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2, 3 & 4 The home has information available to prospective residents and their representatives to make an informed decision if the home is suitable for their needs. All prospective residents are assessed prior to moving into the home. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide will need amending to reflect the recent changes in management. This has not been reflected as a requirement. The acting manager will undertake all pre assessments of prospective residents. A copy of social services assessment is obtained wherever possible. Prospective residents are encouraged to visit the home prior to moving in. Staff individually and collectively have the skills and experience to deliver the services and care which the home offers to provide.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7, 8, 9 & 10 Some needs are at risk of not being met due to lack of documentation in the care plans. Residents’ routine and lifestyle is their own choice. EVIDENCE: There is evidence that the new care plan format has been developed and is in the process of being implemented for all residents. This has been an outstanding requirement for the last three inspection reports. The newly appointed acting manager has already identified shortfalls and proposes to develop care plans to reflect more capabilities of an individual. A structured key worker system is currently being implemented which will assist in addressing this shortfall. A co-key worker system is included in this change to promote continuity for all residents. The new acting manager confirmed that care plans will be reviewed every three months or earlier if the needs of an individual change. Care plans must reflect actual current practice. Shortfalls noted were lack of documentation of wounds and checking of blood sugar levels etc. It was not clear of when an individual has been seen by a health professional. It is recommended that a checklist is implemented and stored with the care plan of Searchlight Workshops - Powell House DS0000059127.V271361.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 an individual to clearly identify when visits have been undertaken. Eg. GP, chiropodist. One resident is known to occasionally demonstrate aggressive behaviour. There was no clear guidance for staff to deal with this resident or any safety precautions that should be implemented. Eg. working in pairs etc. The new care plan format has good risk assessments in place and room for staff to document any specific action to take to reduce risks. Some staff spoken with confirmed that the new care plan format is clearer and easier for them to understand. Residents spoken with confirmed that staff discuss their care with them and will input into the reviewing of the care plans. Residents spoken with confirmed that their routine of life is their decision.

Resident meetings are now regularly held where opportunities are provided for residents to affect the way the home is running. The acting manager confirmed that changes made so far in the running of the home have been received positively. Any concerns have been dealt with at the residents’ meetings. The home is continuing to work towards all residents having their own bank accounts. The registered provider will be forwarding an update to the Inspector to show what residents within the organisation are now provided with his or her own bank accounts. This requirement remains outstanding. All personal information is kept securely at the home. Residents have access to their records if they wish. Information given in confidence is not share with families/friends against the residents’ wishes.

There were no residents working in jobs outside of the home environment. Some assist at the reception for Searchlight Workshops. Individuals are encouraged to continue their activities they are engaged in prior to entering the home. Residents are encouraged to participate within the local community. Visitors are welcomed at the home. There is a visitor’s book at the home for visitors to sign. The Inspector could not locate this on arrival. The visitor’s book needs to be placed in a prominent position. Searchlight Workshops - Powell House DS0000059127.V271361.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 Residents spoken with confirmed that they choose their own daily routines.

The new care plan format has a section for staff to document the residents’ preference for moving and handling. The home has implemented procedures to ensure robust medication procedures are followed. All senior staff within the three homes, located at the one site, undertake weekly audits for each other to ensure correct procedures are followed. The organisation should be commended on the pro-active action they have taken to address previous concerns with the administration of medication. It is recommended as good practice that any handwritten medication entries onto the MAR charts are double checked by two staff that are medication trained. This will reduce the risk of errors occurring. This is an outstanding recommendation. Searchlight Workshops - Powell House DS0000059127.V271361.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 The acting manager has been pro active and a small area is being converted to provide a more suitable storage area for medication and a hand washbasin for staff has been installed. The home was in the process of relocating the medications into this area. Management is arranging a meeting with the supplying pharmacist to discuss shortfalls with the delivering and returning of medications. The acting manager is proposing to delegate one senior carer with the task of taking full control of the ordering, receiving and returning of medications. Searchlight Workshops - Powell House DS0000059127.V271361.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 The home has adequate systems in place to ensure that complaints are dealt with appropriately. There needs to be clearer guidelines for staff to follow in the event of an allegation of abuse being made. EVIDENCE: There is a complaints procedure available at the home. Residents spoken to confirmed that they know who to speak to if they needed to make a complaint. There has been one complaint made to the home since the last inspection. There were clear records kept of the action taken to deal with this. The policy for the Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) needs to be amended to ensure it provides clear information for staff. It was confirmed that the home has a copy of the East Sussex Multi-Agency guidelines for POVA. It was confirmed that policies and procedures have been amended and the Inspector may have been provided a copy of the previous procedure. The home must ensure that policies and procedures are up to date and remove any information that is no longer required. The Gifts to Staff policy demonstrated that staff were able to accept up to £25.00 from residents. This was discussed with the acting manager, deputy manager and the responsible individual. It was confirmed that this is an old ‘inherited’ policy. This amount was concerning for the Inspector as residents are currently being provided with individual bank account and there are learning needs for a lot of residents in regards to budgeting etc. It is required that the home reviews this policy as a matter of priority. Searchlight Workshops - Powell House DS0000059127.V271361.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

The home is proposing to make changes to Powell House and upgrade the facilities currently being provided. Discussions have taken place between the CSCI and the organisation to ensure changes that are made comply with the Regulations and will provide facilities that promote independence. It has been a requirement from previous inspections that the bathrooms and toilets are refurbished with particular attention being paid to ensuring that wheelchair users can easily access them.
