What the care home does well

Residents said that they enjoyed taking part in the activities programme, going on outings and attending a day centre. They praised the care given by staff, the accommodation and the food (varied, wholesome and in accordance with dietary laws). One resident said that it was difficult to find any faults. Twenty-three of the twenty-four relatives who returned a comment card ticked that they were satisfied with the overall care provided in the home. Relatives commented that the care was "excellent", that "it is exceptionally well run and that both residents and staff always seem very happy" and that " the staff are always kind and attentive". The home is commended for 2 areas where it has exceeded the standard expected. These are in respect of social contact and activities and in respect of the ethos of the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

During the previous inspection in April 2005 a number of statutory requirements were identified. There is now compliance. The care plan includes a risk assessment in respect of falls, residents (or their relatives) are given a copy of the care plan, regular reviews of the placement and care plan are carried out, the case file includes a record of health care appointments and the home has obtained a copy of the local authority`s interagency guidelines in the event of abuse. They have also implemented the recommendations made. Care plans are evaluated on a monthly basis and the resident (or their relative) signs the care plan. The Pharmacy Inspector carried out an inspection in October 2005 and progress towards compliance with the statutory requirements identified was checked. The home has complied with all but 2 of the statutory requirements identified. However the timescale for completion of these 2 statutory requirements had not expired. There was evidence that the home had implemented or was in the process of implementing the recommendations made.

What the care home could do better:

The home has received a letter from the LFEPA, which identified that fire safety arrangements were below the standard normally expected. The home must comply with the recommendations/requirements made by the Fire Officer. A programme of NVQ level 2 training is underway and the home needs to achieve a target of 50% of carers trained to this level. The manager is undertaking a registered managers award qualification and needs to successfully complete her training. Each staff file must contain an enhanced CRB disclosure, which has not been obtained during a member of staff`s previous employment.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6 The home does not provide an intermediate care service. Standard 3 was inspected during a previous inspection in April 2005. EVIDENCE: Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 Assessing the needs of a client and identifying these in a care plan, which is tailored to meeting the individual needs of the client, enables the client to receive a quality service. Reviewing care plans on a regular basis ensures that changes in the needs of residents are identified and can be addressed. The health and well being of residents is promoted through regular health care checks and appointments. Residents are supported in taking their medication, as prescribed by their GP, in order to maintain their general health. Standard 10 was inspected during a previous inspection in April 2005. EVIDENCE: During the previous inspection 3 statutory requirements were identified in respect of the care plans. The homes has now complied with each of these. Care plans now include a risk assessment in respect of falls, a copy of the care plan is now given to the resident (or their relative) and the care plan (and placement) is now reviewed on a regular basis. Five of the 24 relatives that returned a comment card ticked that they were not informed of important matters affecting their relative and it is recommended that the home reviews how it communicates with relatives. Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 During the previous inspection a statutory requirement was identified that case files contain a record of health care appointments. There is now compliance. Two of the relatives commented that the resident could drink more fluids and it is recommended that residents be reminded of the jugs of water and juice available in the lounges and offered these at regular intervals. In October 2005 the Pharmacy Inspector carried out an inspection of the storage, handling and administration of medication in the home. There has been compliance with the following statutory requirements. There is now a list of signatures and initials of the staff trained in the safe handling of medicines, the trolley is secured to the wall, controlled drugs are stored in a designated cupboard, there is a system to document the quantities of medicines for residents receiving respite care, staff have been instructed not to use tippex on the MAR, the administration of insulin has been reviewed, the GP will give bulk prescriptions for certain items, the date of opening is recorded on liquid medicines and dosage changes are documented. The timescale for compliance for the remaining 2 statutory requirements has not expired. There was evidence that the recommendations made in respect of the recording of controlled drugs and the removal of finger pricking devices for self testing from use have been implemented and that the remaining 3 recommendations are in the process of being implemented as the home is awaiting a reply from their pharmacist. Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12 A comprehensive programme of activities, both inside and outside the home provide residents with opportunities for stimulation and enjoyment. Standards 13, 14 and 15 were inspected during a previous inspection in April 2005. EVIDENCE: The home has a comprehensive programme of activities and the weekly programme was available for inspection. A resident said that they were given individual copies of the weekly programme and that there was a large copy on display near the dining room. A resident suggested that an announcement could be made at mealtimes to remind residents of the activities taking place that morning or afternoon. It was noted that on some days activities were taking part in different lounges at the same time. Activities included a sewing group, massages, physiotherapy, fitness walking, current affairs, music and crafts, keep fit etc. Some residents attend a day centre or friendship club. Outings were also arranged and the home has its own transport. A resident said that he enjoyed taking part in the fun day and dressing up in fancy dress. Another resident said that she had dressed up as the Queen and had worn a tiara. Examples given of outings included a trip to Longleat and a trip to the Animal Welfare Trust Open Day.

Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 17, 18 The resident’s right to exercise judgement in financial and civic matters is respected although the resident may need the assistance of an advocate to achieve this. Protection of vulnerable adults training for staff and familiarity with the home’s procedure and the interagency guidelines contribute towards the safety of residents. Standard 16 was inspected during a previous inspection in April 2005. EVIDENCE: Eight of the 24 relatives who returned a comment card ticked that they were not aware of the home’s complaints procedure and it is recommended that this is an agenda item at the next relatives meeting. Residents are able to have a private meeting with their solicitor etc. If necessary their rights in financial matters are protected by a power of attorney or the court of protection acting on their behalf. The home has information about advocacy schemes and the activities co-ordinator has acted informally on behalf of residents if there are issues that the residents would like to raise. Residents have voted at the elections and the home’s minibus has been used to transport them to the polling station. A statutory requirement was identified during the previous inspection that the home obtains a copy of the local authority’s interagency guidelines in the event of abuse and there has been compliance. The home now has a copy, which is available for reference. Residents said that if they were concerned or worried Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 about something they could speak to one of the managers or team leaders and named people they would approach. Training in adult protection procedures was included in the programme of training for staff in 2005. Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 15 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19 Residents live in a home with comfortably furnished and decorated communal areas, which are kept clean. They are satisfied with the accommodation and facilities in the home. The home needs to keep its fire precautionary equipment and systems in good order so that the health and safety of residents, staff and visitors to the home is protected. Standard 26 was inspected during a previous inspection in April 2005. EVIDENCE: A partial site inspection took place. All communal areas, toilet and bathing facilities, kitchen, laundry, offices and bedrooms, where the door had been left open, were seen. The home was maintained to a good standard with comfortable furniture and attractive furnishings. It was clean and tidy and free from offensive odours. A relative commented that the home “always smells clean”. One resident commented that there has been an odour of urine in the toilets near the lounge and dining room and it is recommended that these are checked by staff at regular intervals throughout the day. Residents said that Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 the home was always clean and that their rooms were lovely. The gardens were well kept and although the inspection took place in November the shrubs and plants provided residents with pleasant views. Residents said that they enjoyed sitting in the garden in the summer and that they were able to have their meals in the garden, when they wished. A copy of the letter sent by the LFEPA and dated 3rd November, following a recent inspection, identified that fire safety arrangements were below the standard expected and recommendations/requirements have been made. Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 28, 29, 30 The home continues to support staff undertaking NVQ training as residents benefit from staff who have developed their understanding and awareness of the needs of the client groups. Comprehensive recruitment procedures include carrying out checks on prospective carers, in order to protect the safety and welfare of the residents. The home needs to ensure that a valid enhanced CRB disclosure has been obtained for each member of staff. A comprehensive programme of training for staff enhances the quality of service received by residents. Standard 27 was inspected during the previous inspection in April 2005. EVIDENCE: There is now a new company providing NVQ level 2 training for its carers and 10 members of staff began their training in October 2005. This is in addition to the 10 carers who already hold an NVQ level 2 qualification and a further 2 carers who are privately studying for this awarded. The manager has been advised that the carers who commenced training in October will need approximately 12 months to complete their training. If all the staff currently undertaking training complete this the home will achieve the target of 50 of carers being qualified to an NVQ level 2 standard. Therefore the timescale for compliance with this standard has been extended from the 31st December 2005 to the 1st November 2006. Four staff files were inspected. Each contained a PoVA First check, an application form, 2 references, proof of ID (passport details), right to work if Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 18 required, contract and terms and conditions of employment. One file contained only a standard CRB disclosure and one file contained an enhanced CRB disclosure that had been obtained whilst working for a previous employer. This is not portable. A discussion took place with the member of staff who has responsibility for the induction and foundation training for new members of staff. A copy of the training record and booklet was available for inspection. It refers to the Care Standards Act and NVQ training. A training programme is also in place for staff, which includes topics specific to the client group e.g. dementia and to the needs of residents e.g. safe working practices. Training in respect of the Jewish religion and festivals is also given to new members of staff so that they fulfil the aims of the home. Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. 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 and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 32, 35, 38 By continuing her personal development, through further training, the manager is promoting the efficient and effective running of the home. Staff, residents and relatives have worked together in building a team spirit and creating an inclusive atmosphere in the home. Support is given to residents who need assistance in managing their finances so that residents’ financial interests are protected. Risk assessments and training for staff in safe working practice topics promotes the health and safety of residents, staff and visitors to the home. EVIDENCE: The manager has enrolled on a Registered Manager’s Award course of studies and said that she is nearing completion. The manager created a team building exercise which included unit managers organising a fun day. On the day the residents on the high dependency unit Spanish & Portuguese Jews Home For The Aged DS0000017448.V280085.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 20 took part in a hat parade while residents on the other 2 units, about 24 in total, took part in a fancy dress parade. The day also included games, a special lunch and entertainment e.g. a display of traditional dancing by Nepalese carers. Relatives were invited to attend. The fun day also included a display of blankets where the squares had been made by staff, residents and relatives visiting the home on a “knit and natter” basis. The blankets were given to charity but there was a prize for the best blanket and residents and staff from the unit that had made the blanket went on an outing to Buckingham Palace. The manager said that unit managers worked together as a management team and that the unit manager and the staff on their unit worked together as a team. This exercise in team working has developed closer relationships within the teams and benefited residents. Residents confirmed that residents’ meetings took place in the home and there was a notice that the next meeting would be held on the 14th November. A resident said that the home was “beautifully run”. There is a named member of the finance team who is responsible for supporting residents with their personal allowances. Only 2 of the residents who receive their personal allowance through the home are able to manage this for themselves and to draw this on a weekly basis. The residents sign a form acknowledging receipt of their money. The other 5 residents have computer records of the running total for money kept in safe keeping, on their behalf. It is kept in a separate bank account from those used by the company but the account does not pay interest to the residents. Training in health and safety is included in the content of the NVQ level 2 course and the home also offers training in safe working practice topics i.e. first aid, manual handling, fire safety and infection control. Recorded risk assessments are in place for some safe working practice topics. A record is kept of accidents in the home.
