Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced key inspection took place on the 29th May 2007over a period of four and a half hours and was facilitated by Mr D McMeekin, provider and registered manager. During the course of the inspection nine residents and four staff were spoken with and their views of their life in the home obtained. A tour of the home was undertaken and documentation relating to care planning, medication, quality monitoring, personnel files, staff training records and health and safety was looked at. Prior to the inspection, three of the ten questionnaires sent out were returned from residents or their representatives and one from a health care professional. These contained mainly positive comments regarding the care and services provided by the home:- ‘ Friendly, homely place and my relative is well cared for’. ‘Good care and nice staff’. ‘ The care appears good’. Residents spoken with were generally positive about the services offered by the home. ‘ The staff are very friendly and they look after me well’. ‘The food is good and I can do what I please’. ‘ The food is very nice, but we don’t know what we are having until it comes, but they know what I like and will ask me if I want something else if I don’t like what’s on the menu’ The home does not have a shaft lift but provides a stair lift to enable residents to access all parts of the home. There are no waking night staff employed, with the provider’s family having accommodation in the home and providing sleeping cover only, with call bells being directed to their accommodation. What the service does well:
The home provides a homely environment and personal care for older people. A programme of activities which includes outings, maximises independence and allows residents to participate in things which they enjoy doing is in place. Care plans which identify what help with personal, health and social care the residents require are of a high standard. They address current and ongoing care needs and show that they have been formed with the resident whilst providing clear instruction for staff on providing care.
Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Many residents were not aware of the choices available at meal times and there are no printed weekly menus in place which would allow residents to see in advance what meals they will be offered. Meals taken to the rooms are not covered with plate covers and the provision of these would be an improvement and ensure that meals were hot when they reach the resident, also the practice of taking all courses of a meal to rooms at the same time can be confusing for some older people. Minor maintenance issues should be addressed as they occur to ensure residents comfort and the continuing cleanliness of individual bathrooms should be addressed.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,4,5,6 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. Prospective residents are provided with sufficient information to enable them to decide whether they wish to live at the home and whether the home can meet their needs and expectations. Staff receive suitable training to enable them to provide residents with care that meets their assessed needs. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home produces a Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide which have been reviewed to reflect the current status of the home and are provided to each resident.
Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 All residents are visited by the deputy manager and assessed prior to admission to ensure that the home can meet their needs. Seven residents who had been admitted to the home in the past two years said that either they had come to visit the home or the manager had come to see them prior to their admission, and all said that they had received sufficient information to make the decision of living at Shalom. Information relating to the care needs of the prospective resident, which is obtained at the assessment, is used to form the basis of the initial plan of care. A copy of the homes terms and conditions is given to residents on their admission. Staff receive training in the personal and social care needs of the older person and over 50 of the staff have their National Vocational Qualification level 2 or 3 in care. The home does not admit people for intermediate care, but will accept those requiring respite care. Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10,11, People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. Robust care plans direct staff to provide care, which addresses the residents’ current, assessed needs and meets their preferences and expectations. Medication is administered from staff that are trained to do so, and in a manner that safeguards the residents. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Care plans provided an assessment of all the residents’ personal, health psychological and social needs. There was evidence of care plans having being reviewed on a monthly basis following consultation with the residents and
Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 residents spoken with were aware of the content of the plan and any reviews that had taken place. All care plans contained sufficient guidance to staff regarding the actions required to meet the resident’s assessed and current care needs. Eight of the residents spoken with had seen their care plans and were aware of their content, and said that this was formed with their key worker and the deputy manager. Risk assessments, regularly reviewed, are in place in the care plans of each resident. District nurses are involved with residents that require nursing intervention and are involved in treating any incidents of pressure damage. The home uses the Waterlow scoring system for identifying those at risk from pressure damage and this has been reviewed on a monthly basis. There was information to show that General Practitioners, Community Psychiatric nurses and other health care professionals are involved with the residents. An optician visits the home at regular intervals. All staff have undertaken medication training and were aware of the home’s medication policies, including the ‘ self medication’. Those residents who are able to do so are supported to control their own medication and lockable facilities and risk assessments are in place. Residents said that personal care was provided in a discreet and unhurried manner in a manner that matched their individual preferences. ‘ The staff come in when I ask them to and do whatever I ask them to’. All medications were stored correctly and procedures regarding the receipt, administration and disposal of medications safeguard the residents in the home. Residents said that staff were quick to contact doctors when they needed to see one and that staff would accompany them to an appointment at the surgery if they could not go by themselves. Residents can stay in the home if very ill and their medical needs do not indicate otherwise, with nursing being provided by either Community or Macmillan nurses. Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15, People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. Activities provided meet the expectations and abilities of the residents in the home. A nutritious and balanced menu is provided, but residents are unaware of any alternatives to the main meal that might be available, and therefore their choices are limited. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The home provides activities that include outings, board and card games, theatre trips and visiting entertainers. Some residents are able to go out to the pub and shops and one resident goes out fishing. Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Staff were knowledgeable about the type of social activity preferred by individual residents and are supportive in enabling residents to follow their chosen activity. Some residents were not aware of what activities were planned for specific times and it is recommended that the activities programme be displayed in a place where all residents could access this. Two residents who stay in their rooms said that activities are not brought to them but one said ‘ I am happy with my books and crosswords so it doesn’t matter to me’. All residents stated that they chose their own times of rising and retiring and that visitors were welcome at any time. Residents said that communion services were held once a month and that various ministers of religion visit the home. The home provides a varied menu; although no choices are evident the manager stated that residents could choose something different if they did not like what was on the menu. Residents said they did not have an initial choice offered and sometimes were not informed of what was on the menu until they received it. The home should try to make the day’s menu available to residents prior to meals being brought to them. It was seen that supplement food was given to some residents whose nutritional care plan indicated that this was required. The majority of items are home made, including cakes and puddings and the cook said that ready prepared food was rarely used. The majority of the time fresh vegetables and fruit are available. The catering allows for the needs of those residents requiring special diets for health or religious reasons, and these were seen to be addressed. Some residents may benefit if both courses of a meal were not served at the same time. One resident said ‘Sometimes I forget and eat my pudding before my dinner’. The home has dining areas on both the ground and first floor, but many residents prefer to take their meals in their own rooms. Snacks and drinks are available at any time, with sandwiches available during the evening if required. Discussions were held with the manager about the provision of condiments in residents’ rooms and also serving the meals with plate covers on to maintain the heat of the meals.

EVIDENCE: The home provides accommodation in single rooms over two floors, with a recently installed stair lift providing access to the first floor. Some areas of the home have been redecorated in the past twelve months. The provider has a maintenance and redecoration plan for the home and generally all areas were well maintained. One maintenance issue identified at
Shalom DS0000021210.V338784.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 inspection, which had been overlooked by the manager, was addressed the day following the inspection, and the manager stated that he is in the process of replacing floor coverings and redecorating some of the residents’ rooms. It is recommended that audits of the maintenance of the home be undertaken along with other quality monitoring audits to ensure that areas requiring minor maintenance do not get overlooked. Residents have access to a well-maintained garden and also to a covered porch, which provides seating. Other communal areas are provided by two large lounges and dining rooms.
