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 has a warm and calm atmosphere and the residents seem comfortable and relaxed. This is in part due to the dedication and working relationship of the staff team, most of whom have worked in the home for many years and have a good understanding of the residents and their individual needs. The working conditions and the relationship between the staff team has ensured that staff retention is good. Only one new staff member has been employed since the previous inspection. The staff team have ensured that the residents live in a warm comfortable and safe environment. Bedrooms have been appropriately decorated and furnished taking into account residents` individual preferences and personal needs.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has met eight of the thirteen requirements from the inspection on 3rd October 2005. The registered providers and care staff have ensured that complaints made have been recorded and investigated accordingly. They have also ensured that doors are not wedged open and instead, self-closing devices have been fitted to doors that are left open. All of the staff have a job description, a photograph, Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) or Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) checks and an correctly filled in application form. Residents who look after their own finances are signing to state this. Staff are receiving regular supervision. Fire tests are being carried out regularly and London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) contraventions have been complied with.

What the care home could do better:

Seven requirements have been made at this inspection, of these three have been restated and the other three are new requirements. Further information about unmet requirements can be found in the relevant standard. Unmet requirements impact upon the welfare and safety of service users. Failure to comply by the timescale will lead to the Commission for Social Care Inspection considering enforcement action to secure compliance. The requirements made relate mainly to administrative issues and the recording of information. One relates to resident`s privacy and dignity being upheld. Staff must ensure that the administration of medication is carried out correctly to ensure that residents are not put at risk. The home must have adequate equipment to ensure the privacy of all residents, especially when they are being supported with personal care. Residents` wishes in the event of them becoming terminally ill and dying must be sought to ensure that they are treated sensitively and with dignity. Robust recruitment procedures must be followed to ensure that residents are not put at risk. An effective system must be in place to measure the quality of service provided to the resident. This will enable the registered providers to continually improve the service. Fridge and freezer temperatures must be recorded daily to ensure that they remain constant and that people are not put at risk.

This was an unannounced inspection, which took place on Monday 19th June 2006 at 09:00 and was completed at 5.35pm. Since the previous inspection on 3rd October 2005, a new manager has been appointed to the home and is in the process of applying to the Commission for registration. The new manager and one of the registered providers were available throughout the inspection process and were very helpful and accommodating. Evidence was gathered by viewing five residents’ and five staff files along with various safety certificates and other records and documents. Evidence was also gathered through talking individually to six residents informally. Two care workers were also spoken to. Residents and staff were indirectly observed throughout the day. An extensive internal and external tour of the home was conducted with the manager and the registered provider. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The home has met eight of the thirteen requirements from the inspection on 3rd October 2005. The registered providers and care staff have ensured that complaints made have been recorded and investigated accordingly. They have also ensured that doors are not wedged open and instead, self-closing devices have been fitted to doors that are left open. All of the staff have a job description, a photograph, Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) or Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) checks and an correctly filled in application form. Residents who look after their own finances are signing to state this. Staff are receiving regular supervision.

St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 8 Choice of Home The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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): 3 and 6. Qualities in these outcome areas are adequate. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. The staff are ensuring that prospective residents to the home are appropriately assessed. EVIDENCE: The manager and registered provider stated that they carried out the assessment of the most recent resident to the home. The assessment of the resident was viewed and contained comprehensive information regarding the resident’s past and present health and personal care needs. The resident was later spoken to and said, “They asked me questions and I was able to visit the home.” The resident went on to say, “I’m comfortable and content, it’s a nice place. The registered provider stated that the home does not admit residents for intermediate care. St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.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, 10 and 11. Qualities in these outcome areas are poor. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. The staff are ensuring that residents’ health care needs are met. However, the staff are not ensuring that resident’s privacy, dignity and wishes are upheld and respected. In addition residents are being put at risk because staff are not ensuring that they follow the home’s medication procedures correctly. EVIDENCE: The manager stated that care plans are generated from the residents’ assessments. This was evident when viewing the care plans and assessments of five residents. The care plans contained comprehensive information regarding the resident’s next of kin, likes and dislikes, physical and mental health needs and their personal care needs. The registered provider stated that each resident has a keyworker who ensures that the care plans are reviewed monthly. Evidence of care plan reviewing was seen at the back of some of the care plans. St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 Of the five residents’ files viewed, all contained a section for recording information about any visits to or by a health care professional such as a Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN), GP, Chiropodist, Opticians and Dentist. The registered provider stated that an Occupational Therapist (OT) visits the home once a week to carry out physical exercises with residents who wish to participate. A resident was spoken to about the (OT) visits, she said, “Some of the exercises are hard but I enjoy doing them.” The resident smiled and demonstrated one of the exercises by lifting her legs slightly and saying, “This is what I do.” The manager said that none of the residents administer their own medication. Whilst viewing the Medication Administration Record (MAR) sheets of all of the residents, a number of gaps were found on two (MAR) sheets where staff have been administering the medication but not signing to indicate administration afterwards. Although there were a few gaps at this inspection, there has been much improvement compared with the previous inspection, where a requirement was made. The manager and provider said that they would discuss medication administration with staff and record any mistakes found in the future. This requirement is restated. Three residents were spoken to about how staff respect their privacy and dignity. One resident said, “They always knock on my bedroom door and they never shout at me.” Another resident said, “The staff are always helpful and kind.” While touring the home with the manager, a room where two residents share had a screen but on closer examination, it was very old and torn and only extended to three quarters of the length of the room and was not very tall. This meant that the residents’ privacy and dignity would be compromised when staff are supporting them with their personal care or at other times. A requirement is made that the registered persons must ensure that the screen in the shared bedroom is replaced with a more appropriate one to ensure the dignity and privacy of the residents. Although the staff have ensured that many of the residents’ wishes in the event of them becoming terminally ill and dying has been recorded in their care plans, as was a requirement at the previous inspection, on looking through five care plans two did not have the resident’s wishes recorded. The manager stated that she is in the process of seeking the remaining residents’ wishes from them or their relatives. This requirement is restated. St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.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, 13, 14 and 15. Qualities in these outcome areas are good. This judgement has been made from evidence gathered during the visit to this service. Residents are confident that their social needs will be met and that staff will support them to keep in touch with family and friends and exercise their choices. EVIDENCE: Three residents were spoken to about the activities that they do in and outside the home. One resident said, “I enjoy sitting in my bedroom and watching the TV.” Another resident, who was sitting in the lounge said, “This is fine with me, I prefer to just sit here and watch television or talk to people.” On the wall in the lounge, was a chart with the weekly activities that occur in the home. There were activities such as, music to movement. A care worker said that music to movement comprises of staff dancing with residents to the residents preferred music. On the chart was also book reading where, according to the manager, staff read from magazines or the daily newspapers to a group of residents and discuss various articles. In the afternoon, staff were observed coordinating a game of bingo in the lounge with some of the residents, most of whom seemed to be getting into the spirit of it. St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 The registered provider stated that apart from one resident, all other residents’ family visit them regularly. According to the registered provider, the one resident who does not receive any visits from family, receives visits from friends. Evidence of this was seen in the resident’s care plan. When spoken to, a resident said, “We all get on well here.” She pointed out two friends, who were sitting opposite her. Another resident said, “I see my daughter a lot, she always brings me something.” The manager said that residents’ finances are taken care of by their family. One resident who, according to the manager, receives small amounts of money from her family, has a lockable drawer in her bedroom. The newest resident to the home was spoken to. She said that some of the items that she has in her bedroom are hers and that she brought them with her when she moved into the home. The menu for the past two weeks were seen and contained a variety of meals such as beef casserole, rump steak and fried/steam fish. The staff have ensured that a dietician sees residents who require professional input, such as diabetics. Food preparation, purchasing and storage was discussed at length with the manager, registered provider and the cook. The cook was able to demonstrate her understanding of the needs of each resident, especially those on special diets.

St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 At the previous inspection, three requirements were made regarding staff recruitment because two staff did not have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) or Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) check, in addition some staff did not have a photograph and one staff’s application form was not filled in correctly. At this inspection, (CRB) and (POVA) checks were seen for all staff working in the home and all staff had photograph in their file. However, there were still a number of deficiencies. Of the five staff files viewed, one did not have an application form, two application forms were not filled in correctly and four staff did not have the required two references. These deficiencies were discussed at length with the manager and registered provider who said that they would discuss them with the staff in question and ensure that all of the required information is sought and kept in the staff’s file.

Staff are not seeking residents’ views to ensure that the home is being run in their best interests and that record keeping ensures their safety at all times. EVIDENCE: When asked about her qualifications and experience, the manager said that she has a City & Guilds in advanced management, a Registered Management Award (RMA) and has been in management for more than thirty years. Throughout the inspection the manager demonstrated her understanding of the needs of the residents. The manager and registered provider said that they have not compiled a quality assurance system to measure the quality of service delivery to the St Catherine`s Home DS0000059522.V292101.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 resident. They went on to say that they would be working on a system in the near future and would forward a copy to the Commission. A requirement is made regarding this. The manager stated that residents’ finances are looked after by their relatives and that the home does not look after any resident’s finances. Lockable drawers were seen in the bedroom of some residents. All of the staff files viewed contained records of their supervisions. They have all been receiving regular supervisions, including the manager, which was a requirement at the previous inspection. Staff spoken to said that they felt supported by the manager and registered providers. The staff are ensuring that all health and safety checks are carried out regularly. All safety certificates such as: gas, lift, water, London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) and Portable Appliances Test (PAT) were viewed and were up to date and in order. Fire procedures, which were made a requirement at the previous inspection, are being carried out regularly and recorded. Whilst looking at the temperature monitoring record book, the cook said that the temperature of the fridges and freezers are recorded daily. However, although the temperatures of the fridge and freezer in the kitchen is recorded daily, staff have not been recording the temperature of the fridge and the freezers in the food storage shed at the end of the garden. This deficiency was occurring every weekend and occasionally on other days of the week, since the beginning of the year. When discussed with the registered provider, she stated that staff would be reminded to check and record the temperature of all fridges and freezers. A requirement is made in relation to this.
