They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People are given information about the home and have the opportunity to visit and spend time in the home before deciding to move. People know that their support needs have been assessed and that the home will be able to meet them Evidence: Seva Care home have written information about the support they offer. This is in their statement of purpose which is also available in Gujarati. The manager says that the owner is currently working on updating their web page. The manager confirmed that admissions are not made to the home until a full assessment of peoples needs has been undertaken. The majority of referrals to the home are made by social services who provide comprehensive assessments. For people who are self funding and without a social services assessment, the manager completes the homes own assessment. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 28 Evidence: Three peoples care was tracked during the day spent in the home. Case tracking involves talking to the people who live in the home, looking at all records and documentation concerning them and talking with their key worker. Each of the three residents had full assessments in place. The manager invites people and their relatives to the home once she has received a referral and feels that from the information received the home will be able to meet their needs. The manager then talks through with people about the support they require observes, clarifies any areas required and makes her own judgment on whether they can offer the level of support required. It was recommended that the manager formalises her assessments of people who have been referred via social services by completing the homes assessment used for private referrals. People spoken with said that they were invited to the home prior to being admitted and that they and their family were given clear information about the home and the care provided. The owners mother speaks both Gujarati and English fluently and is available to show people the home and explain services in either language. The manager is continuing to develop their understanding of the Gujarati culture and language. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 28 Health and personal care These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Every one who lives in the home has an individual plan highlighting their needs and aspirations in all aspects of personal, social, cultural, religious and health care needs. The home has good links with health care professionals Evidence: The people spoken with were happy with the support they received at the home. One person spoke of how they want to spend time with God preparing to be with God soon. This person was able to sit beside the Hindu shrine in the lounge areas and enjoyed the television which is tuned to Gujarati channel which has prayers throughout the day. The staff were observed respecting this persons space but equally being attentive to their needs. Each of the three people tracked had good detailed plans outlining the support they would require in all aspects of their life. Each of the files had a sheet at the front where the person or their relative had signed to say that they had read the care plan and the areas they wished to discuss. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 28 Evidence: The care plans reflected the person and how they wished to be supported. One plan spoke of how someone enjoys a daily shower and should be encouraged to dry and dry themselves. This person is now able to dress themselves and is happy with their newly gained independence. The plans were detailed covering personal, social, cultural and religious and health care needs. Each person had a chart of their weight and also waterlow score (which shows someones risk of developing pressure areas). There were very good nutritional charts and assessments. One persons whose weight fluctuates had a very comprehensive assessment which sought to eliminate all possible causes such as problems with their mouth or teeth. This person was referred to the appropriate health care professional who was observing the situation. The three care plans seen also contained good assessments of potential areas of risk such as falls, bathing, chair lift, kitchen, stairs and fire. Assessments for each person were in place with an action plan to minimize the risk identified. The staff complete a daily contact sheet giving an overview of how someone may have spent their day. There is also a weekly record chart which highlights the various aspects such as whether someone had their bed changed , room cleaned whether they had an afternoon or mid morning snack, any activities they may have undertaken. This weekly records gives the staff an overview highlighting areas that might need attention. Staff were observed offering support discretely to people. People commented how good the staff were. All the people in the home have Gujarati as their first language. The staff also speak Gujarati. The manager has now created a page for peoples health care appointments or contacts with professionals. This makes it easier to know if peoples health care needs are being met. The manager says that they enjoy good relationships with local health care professionals. There was evidence of people having appointments with dentists, chiropodists, and opticians. Currently no one in the home is self medicating. All medication is now supplied in blister packs from Boots who have offered training and audits. The MAR sheets (medicine administration records) were completed and no errors were found. The manager has a record of all medication coming into and out of the home.

The carpet in a room currently unoccupied is one of the carpets which has had a number of stains and will be replaced. The manager will send the timescales of when these will be replaced to the commission. The home was clean and the aroma of Gujarati cuisine filled the entrance and downstairs lounge and kitchen. Care Homes for Older People Page 20 of 28 Staffing These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable to care for them. Their needs are met and they are cared for by staff who get the relevant training and support from their managers. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The people who live in the home can know that staff have been appropriately recruited and trained. The staff were clear about their role and in knowing what support people required. The manager must ensure that there are two members of staff on duty at all times during the day to ensure that people needs can be safely met. Evidence: The manager stated in the AQAA(Annual Quality Assurance Assessment) that there are 6 permanent staff who work in the home. 3 full time and 3 part time. There is one member of staff and the manager on from 8am to 1pm. The manager has been working on their own from 1 to 5 pm. This is not a safe practice although the owner and owners mother live very close by. The manager said that all of the people who live in the home have a rest after lunch. However with just one member of staff on who is not practiced in Gujarat people can have neither any activity nor if there was an urgent need would there be someone who could understand immediately their need. This was discussed with the manager who said that they were planning to review this once there were more people living in the home. However the manager confirmed that they would ensure that there were two people on duty at all times during the day. Since the last inspection the manager has fully reviewed the recruitment process. The Care Homes for Older People Page 21 of 28 Evidence: application form and the reference forms have been updated with more information requested in both. The current process is that once someone completes an application form and it is thought they will be a likely candidate then they are asked to complete a CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) check and references are sent for. Once the CRB and references are returned then the person is called for a second interview. The manager says that she verifies candidates identification. There are two candidates who are awaiting CRB checks and references. They are both trained and one already has an NVQ level 2. Three staff files were seen. The information was present but without any order. The manager is currently organising staff files the new folders with dividers were seen. The manager is also creating a checklist to place on each staff file to ensure all information has been obtained and is up to date. All the current staff have completed a health declaration form and the willingness to undergo medicals if necessary. The staff are up to date with training. Speaking with one of the staff they confirmed that they have had training in safeguarding and manual handling. They are due to start their NVQ in Harrow in January. The manager says that there are plans for all staff without NVQ to gain the qualification. One person is doing an English course first to facilitate this. The people spoken with in the home were happy with the care they were receiving from the staff saying they were very good Care Homes for Older People Page 22 of 28 Management and administration These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is led and managed appropriately. People control their own money and choose how they spend it. If they or someone close to them cannot manage their money, it is managed by the care home in their best interests. The environment is safe for people and staff because appropriate health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. The people staying at the home are safeguarded because it follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and ensures their staff understand the way things should be done. They get the right care because the staff are supervised and supported by their managers. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The manager is focused on the needs of the people who live in the home. There are structures in place for staff management but more structured professional support is needed for the manager. Evidence: The registered manager has many years experience working in the care sector, including management teams. This is her first position as manager of a care home. She was completing a course for the Registered Managers Award at a local college where she started in February 2008. However the company went into liquidation so she is currently seeking a new supervisor. She is due to start at Thames Valley College in January 2009 in order to complete the qualification. The manager has been working hard to meet the requirements set at both the last inspection and the random visit made in July 2008. Currently she is working six days a week and as noted in the previous section has been working on her own every Care Homes for Older People Page 23 of 28 Evidence: afternoon. As the home is privately owned by a person whose professional background is not in care, the manager does not have any access to professional supervision and development. It is essential for the manager to have professional guidance to consolidate their learning and development as well as to prevent professional isolation. The manager has sought out informal culturally appropriate professional guidance however there needs to be a formal arrangement. It is a requirement that the provider formalises such supervision for the manager. The AQAA (Annual Quality Assurance Assessment) completed by the manager was satisfactory , although there are areas where more supporting evidence and detail would have been useful to illustrate what the service has done in the last year, or how it is planning to improve. The owner carries out unannounced monthly visits and has devised a form to use to record this. There is a focus on interviews with the people who live in the home, the staff as well as an inspection of records and of the premises.It may be useful to include action points with action time lines as well as space for the manager to comment and give feedback on the process. There were minutes of the staff meetings the last one was held on the 2nd December. One of the items discussed was healthy eating. The manager says they are normally every four to six weeks. The staff do have supervision though the manager needs to formalise the procedure maintaining records and diarising supervision sessions. The manager must make sure that there is a a photograph of every person who lives in the home. All the health and safety records seen were up to date and well maintained. There were regular water and fridge temperatures. A weekly check on lighting and fire alarms is carried out by staff. The fire brigade did an assessment of the home and said it complied with all the regulations. The manager sys that Harrow College will do full in house fire training plus fire evaluation plan and horizontal evacuation plan.
