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

The home is run in the best interests of the residents and provides an active and stimulating environment. The residents` views are valued and responded to; opportunities are available for residents to air their views on a regular basis. There are plenty of activities on offer supported by activities coordinators. Volunteers are available to assist with activities and support residents individually. The home promotes the independence of residents and risk assesses activities on an individual basis. Residents are offered plenty of choice in the running of their daily lives, this was very evident throughout the inspection. Meals are appetising with choices available. Importance is given to staff training and training is well attended. Outside space is accessible and attractive, with gardens that are well maintained.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Staffing levels have improved, as well as care staff, two part time activities coordinators and a part time maintenance assistant have been appointed. There is less use of agency care staff. Work is continuing on reviewing the Care Plans of certain residents on a monthly basis and to revise other care plans so that both short and longerterm needs are considered in all areas of daily life. Locks that are accessible to residents are being fitted to bedroom doors. There is a temporary change to the location of the dining area due to refurbishment needed in the main dining room. This has not caused noticeable undue disruption and has been managed very well.

What the care home could do better:

The home needs to continue to be proactive in the recruitment of staff to further reduce use of agency care staff. Reviewing of the care plans of each resident should also be completed; this work has commenced and is being undertaken by key workers. Residents would benefit from being reminded of the complaints procedure and information on the procedure should be readily available to relatives and visitors to the home.

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 standard(s) 1,2,3,4 and 5,and Standards for Older People 1,2,3 and 4. Residents are offered comprehensive information about Mote Lodge prior to making a choice of home. The needs of prospective residents are assessed before admission. Residents are provided with a clear statement of terms and conditions. EVIDENCE: The home has a comprehensive Service User’s Guide and Statement of Purpose; both had been updated prior to the last inspection on 10.11.2004. At the time of the inspection the last two inspection reports were with the Service User’s Guide in the entrance, the report relating to the last inspection needed to be attached to the Guide as it was could have become mislaid. There had been no new admissions since the last inspection. Although residents spoken with who had moved to the home in more recent years stated that they had been actively involved in making a decision about which home to move to and were happy with their choice. One resident referred to some time spent at another home, which they considered was of a lesser standard and they were pleased to return to Mote Lodge. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 There was clear evidence on care plans inspected that needs had been assessed thoroughly prior to admission and personal care needs, interests and preferences had been taken into account. A clearly laid out and thorough, but not overly involved, statement of terms and conditions is provided for each resident and signed by Mrs Haith and resident, these were evidenced on care plans. Where specialist services are required these are assessed and provision made to meet the need from within the home, for example, physiotherapy, or from other professionals such as speech therapists. Evidence of this was gained from documentation, discussion with residents and the Manager. The home does not offer intermediate care. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 6 to 10, and standards for older people 7,12, and 13. Personal care plans are comprehensive and reviewed; planning is taking place for longer- term goals and needs. Residents are involved in making decisions about the running of the home and their personal planning. Consultation takes place regarding individual decisions and those involving the larger resident group. EVIDENCE: Care plans inspected evidenced that the needs of residents are very comprehensively recorded and revised if needs change. Care plans are indexed and easy to read. There is a strong commitment to improving the care planning process, so that both short and longer- term goals can be recorded. Work is continuing to ensure that monthly ISP reviewing takes place for the small number of residents who are over 65 years of age. Residents are actively encouraged to make decisions regarding their care needs, environment and other aspects of the home and regular residents’ forums are held and minuted. Evidence was seen from minutes that there was adequate feedback and where required resolution to residents’ issues was actioned promptly. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 One resident spoken with said that these meetings were helpful and issues of concern could be raised and discussed. Personal risk assessments are in place on care plans, residents are enabled to be as independent as possible, risk assessments are applied as required. Verbal and written evidence of this was gained. Care plans are kept securely in a locked cupboard in the care office. They used to be kept in residents’ rooms, although at the request of the residents this practice was changed. Each resident has agreed in writing that they are happy with this practice, two residents spoken with during the inspection confirmed that this had been discussed at a residents’ meeting and been agreed to, reasons being those of security and ease of access. Individual care plans can be requested at any time of day or night. General discussion with residents individually and in a group setting evidenced that choice and independence are respected. This was also observed throughout the inspection. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11,12,13,14,15 16 and 17, and older peoples standards 12 and 15. Opportunities and activities are offered to meet a range of group and individual interests and abilities Residents are treated with respect and their views taken seriously and acted upon. A variety of nutritious meals are offered with daily choices and mealtimes are relaxed. Residents’ friendships, relationships and family contacts are respected and promoted whilst privacy is maintained. EVIDENCE: The home offers opportunities for individual personal development and a wide range of activities on a regular basis. An activities coordinator is established in post and two part time assistant coordinators have now been recruited. Evidence was seen of activities available on notice boards, on care plans and from discussion with residents and staff. The programme includes art, swimming, poetry, a crossword group and gardening. Some residents spoken with were involved in a drama group shortly putting on a production. This Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 involved a number of skills and learning opportunities, clearly helped with confidence and was a focus for discussion. Evidence was seen of residents being involved in appropriate leisure pursuits of their choice. Those seen individually spoke of attending such activities as church and musical concerts. They felt that sufficient activities were on offer. Evidence was gained from reading care plans of family contact, all residents spoken with individually spoke of family involvement and contact, in one case a family member was involved in enhancing the homes’ garden. Residents’ personal relationships are respected. The midday meal took place during the inspection there were choices of main meal and pudding. The meal looked appetising and was well presented, residents spoken with individually all said that the food was very good and there was enough choice. No drinks were offered with the main course, drinks were provided with puddings and lunchtime medication if residents took this. Mrs Haith advised that this was usual practice and had been agreed to by residents but it can be reviewed. At the time of the inspection residents were taking meals in one of the communal areas of the home as a recent flood had put the dining room out of use. It was very noticeable that residents and staff were managing well with temporarily reduced space and the mealtime was relaxed and unhurried. Staff discreetly and appropriately assisted those needing help with the meal. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18,19 and 20, and Standards for Older People 7,8, and 9. Residents are provided with personal care, which meets individual needs and preferences. Changes in support needs are promptly addressed and additional advice sought if this is required in relation to both physical and emotional needs. Medication is administered correctly and residents can choose to manage their own medication if they wish. EVIDENCE: Residents spoken to individually during the inspection were all complimentary about the care staff and the level of care they received, although one resident said that sometimes care staff can seem in a hurry, and another resident stated that some residents were not happy about the use of agency staff. The home has a small number of care staff posts vacant and when needing to engage agency staff will request those already familiar with the home and residents. It was noted on the last inspection on 10th November 2004, that a very active recruitment had reduced use of agency staff, since then further reductions in use of agency staff have taken place. If a resident has a particular preference for how they are cared for which may involve risk, a full risk assessment is undertaken and agreed, evidence of this was gained from reading documentation and discussion with Mrs Haith. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 Physical and emotional needs are considered in the care planning and reviewing documentation and if needs change action is taken to consult other professionals, acquire necessary equipment and consider engaging professionals to offer emotional support. Evidence of this in respect of one resident with reduced abilities was seen and discussed with Mrs Haith. Physiotherapy is available at the home from a trained physiotherapist; there is a dedicated room available for this, residents spoken with confirmed that regular physiotherapy sessions are arranged for them. Residents are offered the choice to be self -medicating and medication procedures are in place. The lunchtime medication round was observed, a Team Leader and another Carer administered medication completing medication record sheets correctly and not leaving the trolley unattended at any time. The home has made efforts to clarify the specific directions for administering PRN medication with local GP practices and this is continuing. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 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 standard(s) 23 and Standard for Older People 16. An organisational complaints procedure is in place. Residents’ views are listened to and acted upon. Residents who have communication problems can be assisted to make known their views by family, advocates or volunteers. EVIDENCE: There had been no complaints since the last inspection, most residents spoken with were very aware of the complaints procedure or felt they could complain if there was something they were not satisfied with. The Leonard Cheshire complaints procedure and whistle blowing procedures are used by the home, at the time of the inspection the leaflets were not clearly on display for relatives and other visitors but this may have been due to disruption due to the problems with the dining room leading off the entrance where leaflets were normally displayed. Residents felt that the residents forum meetings were useful and that their views were listened to and actioned. One example evidenced was that a request was made for fresh fruit to be available in the evenings, the home has now increased its’ budget to accommodate this request. Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24,25,26,27,28,29,and 30,and Standards for Older People 19,20,21,22,23,24,25 and 26. The home provides a safe and well decorated, and maintained environment. Work is underway to provide adaptations to further promote independence. EVIDENCE: The home is well decorated, warm and the general atmosphere is homely. A flood in the dining room caused by burst pipes three weeks prior to the inspection had rendered the dining room unsafe, although disruption to mealtimes was not noticeable. The dining room ceiling has been replaced and other repairs are necessary. Notices were in evidence warning that the dining room was unsafe. Bedrooms are situated in the North or South Lodge; both lead off the central area and entrance and have a communal area, which includes kitchen facilities. During the inspection the communal areas were being used for social and recreational activities as well as one being a temporary dining area. A number of bedrooms were seen during the inspection, all were decorated to a high standard, reflected personal preferences were very clean and contained equipment pertaining to individual needs. Evidence was seen of individual preference and promoting of independence where a resident had requested Mote Lodge Sobell Cheshire Home H56-H06 S23984 Mote Lodge V223001 250405 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 wardrobe doors be removed so clothes could be selected personally to increase independence. The removal of the doors did not detract from the general appearance of the room and was effective. Sensors operate the bedroom doors residents have needed staff assistance to lock them, currently a rolling programme is in place fitting locks to the doors that can be reached by residents. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and toilet; there are sufficient additional toilets in the home. The ensuite facilities are discreet and afford privacy.
