What the care home does well

The home provides nursing care to ten residents in a homely comfortable environment. Care plans include the current needs of the residents and described the actions to be taken to meet these needs in sufficient detail. All care plans showed that residents or representatives were consulted during formation and review. The home provides a small range of activities which are sufficient to meet the needs of the residents living in the home at present, these include outings by car and the providers took three residents on a short holiday to a local resort this year. There is sufficient flexibility to enable the range of the activities to be increased should the assessed needs of the residents vary. Staff are provided in sufficient numbers and with the relevant skills to meet the needs of the residents and the home shows a commitment to staff training. Over 50% of the staff have their National Vocational Qualification level 2 in care. Residents spoken with stated that the food is good and is `nicely presented`, and `although they don`t always get it right for me, as I am a fussy eater, they will change it to something I like`.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home had no requirements made at either the last inspection or on this one. Redecoration has taken place within the home. The quality monitoring system is undergoing expansion, with the manager now auditing all aspects of the services provided by the home and she intends including health and social care professionals when questionnaires are sent out. Over 50% of staff now have their National Vocational Qualification level 2 in care, and ongoing staff training is continuing.

What the care home could do better:

Some minor maintenance issues need attention but these are being addressed by the provider.

This unannounced key inspection took place on the 22nd November 2006 over a period of five hours. Mrs Samy, home manager and Mr Samy homeowner, facilitated the inspection. During the visit to the home, a tour of the premises took place and documentation, including care plans; health and safety documentation, medication, catering records and staff personnel and training files were examined. All residents in the home were spoken with; in depth conversations were held with four of them. Discussions were also held with five members of staff working at the home that day. Ten questionnaires were sent out by the CSCI to residents and visitors to the home and three to General Practitioners. Of these, six were returned by visitors and residents and two from General Practitioners. All of these made positive comments about the home ‘Staff are willing and helpful’, ‘Staff check the residents frequently’ and ‘Any requests made are acted upon and thought and care given to solving any problems that may arise’. A Health Care Professional described the home as ‘an excellent home’. What the service does well: The home provides nursing care to ten residents in a homely comfortable environment. Care plans include the current needs of the residents and described the actions to be taken to meet these needs in sufficient detail. All care plans showed that residents or representatives were consulted during formation and review. The home provides a small range of activities which are sufficient to meet the needs of the residents living in the home at present, these include outings by car and the providers took three residents on a short holiday to a local resort this year. There is sufficient flexibility to enable the range of the activities to be increased should the assessed needs of the residents vary. Staff are provided in sufficient numbers and with the relevant skills to meet the needs of the residents and the home shows a commitment to staff training. Over 50 of the staff have their National Vocational Qualification level 2 in care.

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): 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 Quality in this outcome area is excellent, this is based on the available evidence including a visit to this service. All residents receive sufficient documentation to enable them to make an informed choice of home. Documentation has been produced in a format that facilitates its use by residents. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide include all information required by the National Minimum Standards and the regulations. All residents have a copy of this document that is provided to them when the manager undertakes the pre-admission assessment. The service user guide is now provided in a small booklet in larger format print, thus improving ease of use. The statement of terms and conditions meet the regulations, and all residents are provided with a copy of this document. Some residents and all representatives of residents spoken with were able to verify that they had Springcroft DS0000014057.V309442.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 received this on admission of the resident to the home. The manager provides information on fees charged prior to the resident entering the home. The manager undertakes a thorough assessment of need with the prospective resident and this forms the basis of the care plan. All residents or their representatives are encouraged to visit the home prior to the admission of the resident, with residents being admitted for a four-week trial period. Relatives and residents spoken with said ‘the manager came to see me before I came in’, ‘I received all the information and the terms and conditions’ and ‘My son received all the information and the manager came to see me and brought some with her’. All staff have receive ongoing training in the care of the older person and three members of the care staff have their National Vocational Qualification level 2 in Care. Some members of the care staff are overseas registered nurses who are completing their adaptation training in the home and attending university, for registration with the Nursing and Midwifery Council. The home does not admit residents for intermediate care therefore this standard does not apply to this home. Springcroft DS0000014057.V309442.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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): 7,8,9,10 and 11 Quality in this outcome area is excellent, this is based on the available evidence including a visit to this service. The care received by the residents is informed by care plans, which accurately reflect their current assessed needs. The standard of medication administration and recording safeguards the resident. EVIDENCE: Care plans are formed from the original assessment and updated to reflect current nursing needs required by the resident. They address the social, psychological and health care needs of the resident. All care plans included wound, nutritional and continence care plans for residents and showed involvement of other health care professionals when required. Care needs, and the action to be taken to meet these needs have been recorded in detail, and residents or their representatives have participated in the formation of the care plan and its review. All care plans have been reviewed on a minimum of monthly basis. Daily care records of residents were fairly detailed and described the care that had been given. Springcroft DS0000014057.V309442.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 All care plans contained risk assessments and consent forms for bedrails as well as general risk assessments.
