South View Lodge DS0000005906.V311010.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. A key unannounced inspection, including a visit to the home, took place on the 24th January 2007. The inspection took place over a nine and a half hour period. At the time of the inspection the occupancy level was twenty-one with two residents in hospital. Two directors, the manager, senior care staff, two care staff and five residents were spoken with. During the course of the inspection, procedures and records were also examined, lunch was taken with the residents, activities were observed and the premises were viewed. Information from a pre inspection questionnaire contributed toward the findings. Areas that needed to improve from the previous inspection were looked at for progress made. The home was assessed against the National Minimum Standards for Older People. What the service does well: Prior to people moving into the home, their needs were assessed. They were consulted about the level and type of care they required and could visit the home to look for themselves at the facilities offered. Important information needed to support them in every day living was recorded and used to plan the care they required. This helped to personalise care and show staff what they should do to achieve this. All residents spoken with said contracts were given to them. This informed them of the terms and conditions of residence. Records viewed confirmed this information. Staff training was continuous and a number of care staff continued to study for their National Vocational Qualification level 2. This training helps them to understand the diversity of residents needs. Healthcare needs were also monitored and staff worked with visiting medical professionals for the benefit of residents. Residents stated that they “were seen by a G.P. whenever they needed one”. Residents said that their relatives and friends were made welcome to the home and they could “speak to relatives anytime” and “in private” if they wished. A variety of activities were available. A computer was seen in the conservatory and this was for use by residents to email relatives. Even though not all residents were able to participate in activities due to their health, one resident said “I am included and my limitations recognised”. Details of activities were South View Lodge DS0000005906.V311010.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 displayed in the entrance lounge. Community contact was also maintained – “I go out with my family”. The home has its own minibus and residents said they “go for run outs” around the local villages. There were no rules in the home and routine was personal to each resident. Residents confirmed they could have breakfast in bed and other meals served in their rooms. They said their meals were ‘good’ and “well varied” with choices offered. Complaints were taken seriously and residents had confidence any issue they raised would be dealt with properly. Residents said that the care offered by staff was good. ”Staff are fully supportive and always available to discuss any needs”. “Staff are always around if you need them” and “privacy was respected”. They were comfortable and warm. Recruitment and selection of staff was thorough and protected residents. The level of staffing maintained, training provided and supervision was good which meant competent qualified staff cared for residents. Residents and staff benefited from regular meetings and were informed of any changes planned. The home was organised and managed efficiently. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: The registered person was to ensure that medicines received from relatives was properly labelled. This was to protect both residents and staff and to prevent mistakes being made when administering medication that was not clearly labelled. Other areas to be addressed in respect of medication practices were:- South View Lodge DS0000005906.V311010.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 • • that all records should have two signatures when hand written insertions are made to prevent mistakes being made. that residents photographs be attached to the Medicine Administration Record in order for staff to be able to identify to whom medicine is being given. that the room temperature where the medicine cabinet is kept should be monitored. This ensures that excessive heat does not affect the medicines. • When residents move into the home a written record should be made of all valuables and belongings that they bring with them. All fire extinguishers must be included in the annual service of equipment. Xpelair fans must be regularly cleaned in order for them to operate efficiently. The home should meet the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999. Staff training should continue in order for 50 of the care staff to be qualified at National Vocational Qualification level 2. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

All areas of healthcare needs were covered and appropriate risk assessments were in place. Information was recorded on a daily diary record sheet, which recorded the care given, and any significant events. Care plans were reviewed monthly and both residents and their relatives had the opportunity to be involved. Care plans included all information from the initial assessment with instructions for staff on how to meet the resident’s needs. The South View Lodge DS0000005906.V311010.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 resident who was having a period of respite care told the inspector how much better she was in her health and physical ability in the short time she had been at the home. She thought it was because “the care and food were so good”. Policies and procedures for medicines management were in place and reflected current practice. Some advice was offered in respect of medication storage and administrative systems. Discussion with staff, responsible for the administration of medication, showed that they were aware of their responsibilities. Records showed that the manager and senior staff were trained in medication practices. The Medical Device Alert relating to Lancing devices was discussed. The home has the relevant information, but District Nurses deal with all injections. At the time of the visit no residents were selfadministering medication, although a risk assessment was in place for any new resident who wished to do so.

A central record of the activities South View Lodge DS0000005906.V311010.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 provided was kept but it was suggested that individual records be kept on residents file in order to record what activities individuals were involving themselves in.

The local vicar visited the home every month to offer the Sacrament to those residents who were unable to go out. One lady said she went to Church with her family. The home had its own minibus and this enabled residents to “go for run outs around the local villages”. Another resident said, “I go out with my family”. Those residents who were able were encouraged to handle their own personal allowance although relatives or advocates were involved with the payment of fees. Residents had access to their personal records through their involvement with care plans and the review process.
