What the care home could do better:

The Home should continue its work to promote independence, and to offer new experiences to residents. No requirements, but four recommendations were made to promote good practice. The manager should ensure that community mental health staff responsible for CPA reviews are reminded to request residents signatures on their care plans to evidence their agreement, or otherwise, with their CPA care plans. The manager should ensure that complaints are recorded to indicate whether they are substantiated, partially substantiated, or not substantiated. The manager should obtain a copy of the London Borough of Greenwich Adult Protection Procedures and ensure compatibility with the homes procedures. Staff members should familiarise themselves with the contents of the procedures. Annual surveys of the views of professionals involved with residents and their relatives/ advocates should be introduced as a quality control mechanism.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users needs are assessed to ensure that their needs can be met. EVIDENCE: Standard 2 The personal care files of both new residents were examined and also for a resident who had resided at the home for a number of years. These included detailed referrals comprising assessments completed as part of the care management process and reports from professionals such as psychiatrists, and other therapists. All the files included a care plan and the provider stated that the care planning and risk assessment process starts before admission to the home and takes up to one month to fully complete. Residents had clearly been involved in the setting up of their care plans and had signed them. Goals for development had been clearly identified and the process by which care staff members would achieve them and reviews of care clearly scheduled with input from both Community Psychiatric Nurses and Care Managers.

EVIDENCE: Standard 6 Each resident has a care plan, and this is reviewed and updated as required. In too cases examined the care plan was discussed in a meeting with the care manager and resident and both signed to say that they concurred with the plan. A planned review date was also recorded. However, in respect of CPA review forms, these were not always signed by residents, and the manager readily acknowledged that the mental health staff responsible for their completion should be formally persuaded to evidence that residents were in agreement with the care plan by obtaining their signature thereby promoting good practice and ensuring transparency. The manager agreed to expedite this as soon as possible. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 See Recommendation 1 Standard 7 Residents have opportunities to affect decision-making in the Home. There are regular monthly meetings and service users are encouraged to express their views. One resident spoken to said that he would feel able to tell the manager or any other staff member if he was unhappy about anything in the house. In addition the Home formally requests service users to complete questionnaires about their views on the quality of service provided, and copies of these were seen on the case files that were examined and recorded a high degree of satisfaction with the service provided for the home. Standard 9 Risk assessments were on file, and in individual cases had been updated to record where assessed risks may have reduced over time. Independence is promoted where possible. Any restrictions placed are minimal these are recorded in the care plan and would be for the safety and welfare of service users. Evidence was available from the service user’s records examined and from discussion with both service users interviewed that they are enabled to express choice in whatever they do.

The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents in the home enjoy a comfortable and stimulating lifestyle, where individual choice is respected and encouragement given to achieving life skills. EVIDENCE: Standard 12-16 None of the residents attend day centres as the three longer-term residents are placed outside of their placing authorities and local provision has been refused, but all are engaged in a programme of regular activities. The two new residents placed by the local authority have not been assessed as needing day centre placements. All residents had recently been included in trips to the Natural History Museum and Hastings and two residents regularly attend a local sports centre with the manager four times a week. This has not only developed fitness but also social Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 skills via meeting other people at this facility. Another resident used to attend college for gardening and obtained certificates for this and has put his skills to good use in developing the rear garden at the home for which he has been rewarded by receiving shopping and cinema trips provided by the home. Another residents is engaged in a local car cleaning service. The home has provided its own certificates for residents to reflect individual achievement in their different areas of activities, for example sports centre attendance, developing social skills, gardening and domestic activities. Three residents interviewed by the Inspector were evidently gratified with this initiative as they were all keen to show me them. Residents are free to come and go as they please. Some shop at the local shops and are known to the shopkeepers. One Resident goes to the church across the road for coffee mornings and worship, and says he is welcomed there whenever he goes; he has gained some spiritual comfort from this community link. The manager stated that residents are supported and encouraged to stay in touch with family and friends and their wishes are respected when they choose not to have contact. The manager stated that residents are made aware of advocacy facilities locally. Service users are enabled to conduct private telephone conversations and visitors are allowed in their rooms as long as this was pre arranged with staff members and this had been discussed within a service users meeting and individually with service users. Residents meetings were held on a regular basis, approximately monthly, and the manager confirmed that a copy of the minutes was provided for all, including those who chose not to attend. It was evident from the notes examined that agendas were comprehensive and that individuals in attendance freely aired their views. Standard 17 Menus were examined and showed that varied and nutritious meals were provided to meet resident preferences and a rota of meals provided was seen over a period of four weeks and a good supply of both fresh and frozen food was seen stored in the home. One of the residents is of Afro/ Caribbean origin, but maintained that he only occasionally likes this food and that any requests to have it are positively responded to by staff members. Culturally appropriate diets could be catered for upon request, as could any other special diets and it was noted that a choice is always available. One resident is currently being assisted with attempts to lose weight, with his agreement, and recorded in his care plan. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users receive flexible personal support. The physical and mental healthcare needs of service users were met. The medication system for the home was well organised and recorded. EVIDENCE: Standard 18 The home is not registered to provide nursing care but residents are given assistance to maintain their own personal care, largely via prompting, where necessary in respect of their personal hygiene and to keep their clothes clean and their rooms tidy. One resident’s outdoor mobility is deteriorating and it was noted that he was assessed by an OT, for the provision of a wheelchair to facilitate trips outside of the home. Mobility within the home was not a cause for concern. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Standard 19 Healthcare needs are given high importance at the Home. Residents are supported to take responsibility for their own healthcare, though are supported to attend appointments where necessary. Evidence of this was available on both the individual care files and the daily diary notes examined by the Inspector. One resident, who is overweight, has been weighed regularly and he is encouraged to eat healthily. There have been not been any incidents requiring notification under regulation 37, since the last inspection. Standard 20 The medication system was examined and was appropriately organised; medication was stored in a locked cabinet and quantities and dosage of medication tallied with the MAR sheets examined.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Adequate procedures were in place to ensure complaints were managed and to protect residents from abuse. Residents express a high degree of satisfaction with the care in the Home, and the managers ensure that residents’ wishes are listened to and responded to. EVIDENCE: Standard 22 The home had policies and procedures in relation to complaint management. A system was in place to record complaints made about the service. Several complaints were logged in the complaints log but on examination these were all found to be complaints relating to disagreements between a resident and his father and the resident had been supported to exercise his own choice, by staff members, regarding his dental treatment and whether or not he would visit his estranged mother. No complaints had been received directly by the Commission. All residents have the capacity to raise concerns and those spoken to by the Inspector both indicated that they were very happy within the home and actually had no complaints. The Inspector recommended that complaints should be separated in respect of their outcomes to reflect whether they were substantiated, or not, or partially substantiated. See Recommendation 2. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Standard 23 The home had policies and procedures in relation to adult protection and as whistle blowing policy. No allegations of abuse had been made to the provider or the Commission since the last inspection. The home did not have a copy of the London Borough of Greenwich Adult Protection Procedures and it is recommended that this is obtained, be shown to staff members and to ensure that the homes policy matches the requirements within the local authority procedures.

See Recommendation 3 Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The Home is bright, spacious and welcoming. Bedrooms are personalised by the individual resident. The home was spotless and very well maintained. EVIDENCE: Standard 24 The home was clean, bright and comfortable. The Home is well suited to its purpose. There is a range of communal space including a large and comfortable lounge, a dining room suitable for meetings or reviews, a small breakfast room, and a large level garden mainly lawn with shrub borders with, a level patio and garden furniture nearer the house. Some new planting has been done in the garden, and one of the residents, who studied gardening at college, helped with this and was mowing the lawn at the time of the inspection. The garden looked very tidy and attractive. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The four bedrooms seen by the Inspector were personalised by the individual residents, and there was evidence of their interests in videos on the shelf and pictures on the walls. One of the residents was encouraged to purchase a floor standing CD rack for his large collection, following a recommendation made at the previous inspection. Bedrooms were spacious and highly personalised, this is commendable, and there was ample communal space for service users. The Inspector was informed that the laundry area to the rear of the building was being developed and that in due course an conservatory would be attached to the side of this room to provide facilities for residents to practice independent living skliisdomest and a chalet type/ shed building was going to be erected at the bottom of the garden to provide a games room. Standard 30 This was an unannounced inspection of the service and the home was, as has been noted before, immaculate. The staff members maintain an extremely high standard of cleanliness and maintenance and in the light of the evidence from both this and previous inspections, the Standard is, again, exceeded. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home’s recruitment practices were satisfactory. Staff training was comprehensive and a high level of staff members qualified above the minimum Standard requirement had been achieved. EVIDENCE: Standard 32 This is a family business and four of the six regular staff members are family members. The rota is the same week on week, so there is consistency for the residents. The proprietor’s wife has achieved her NVQ3 through practice assessed via a local nursing home. Training records for individual staff members were seen and this showed that a good level of training had been provided and was being planned for the future. Induction training had been provided for all new staff and foundation training following this. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 From observations made of care worker practice and the evidence of training provided for staff the Inspector felt that, overall, there was a good level of skills and experience and that those staff observed had the requisite skills, attitudes and characteristics necessary to adequately support residents. Staff members were observed to be respectful and caring in the way they were relating to residents. It was equally evident that residents were content within their environment and responding positively to any staff interventions. Standard 34 There have been no changes to the staff employed since the previous inspections when this Standard was assessed and was met. The manager demonstrated a good awareness of recruitment practice whilst discussing the potential recruitment of two new members of staff. Standard 35 At this inspection the Inspector was informed that both of the care staff have achieved NVQ level 2 and that the other three staff are first level nurses this exceeds the National Minimum Standards. The manager provided evidence of a training plan for the year 2006-2007 and this was comprehensive. All staff members had received induction and foundation training and had, in place, an individual training and development plan. Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home was well run. Quality assurance mechanisms were developed and surveys of residents and were promoted on a regular basis. EVIDENCE: Standard 37 The Home’s manager, the proprietor and his wife are all well qualified and competent to run the Home. Certificates of registration, insurance and health inspections are displayed appropriately, records are in good order, and were immediately available for inspection. Policies and procedures had been updated and well maintained. Evidence was available that both managers are keen to Shooters Hill Road, 156 DS0000006875.V329893.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 update their practice and to improve the service, for example they are planning to involve residents in the selection of new staff members planned in the near future and in being proactive in seeking new training opportunities for themselves. All residents in the home benefit individually from the way the Home is run, by the consistency and dedication of staff, and feedback suggests that the residents consider themselves fortunate to be living there. Standard 39 Feedback is evidently received from all residents in respect of the running of the home via monthly and recorded residents’ meetings. Opportunities are readily available for professionals to communicate their views, given the regularity of contact with residents, however the Inspector suggested that the manager introduces an annual survey, similarly, for involved professionals and any relatives or advocates involved with residents See Recommendation 4. Standard 42 Records indicated that all gas, fire and electrical systems and equipment in the home are serviced and inspected appropriately and that all internal checks are conducted at appropriate intervals. An Environmental health inspection had also been conducted in the recent past and no concerns were identified. A number of areas were picked at random and checked against the pre inspection questionnaire, in respect of routine health and safety checks such as fire drills and other areas requiring maintenance checks. This information provided, was accurately recorded and in accordance with that submitted by the manager to the CSCI.
