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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 3 and 6. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People’s needs were known to the service prior to admission. The two assessments ensured that the service have sufficient information to assess if the service was able to meet the person’s needs. EVIDENCE: On examination of the care management assessments within three care plans, it was established that there were assessments from care management and the staff from the hospital. These assessments were comprehensive and detailed the person’s social and health needs. The manager or deputy manager undertook assessments prior to the admission of any persons who wished to use the service. These assessments were also comprehensive. St Catherines Nursing Home DS0000021809.V361788.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The information provided within both these documents assisted in providing sufficient information for the staff to decide if the service could meet the person’s needs. It also provided sufficient information for care plans to be drawn up. The manager advised that intermediate care was not provided within the service. St Catherines Nursing Home DS0000021809.V361788.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10. People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People benefit from the provision of accurate care plans and were satisfied with the care and service being delivered. EVIDENCE: On examination of the care plans, from three people, it was established that all three care plans were up to date. There were daily entries within the care plans. These entries recorded the care delivered on a daily basis, and the plans had been evaluated on a monthly basis, except for one care plan file that had not been evaluated in February 08. This plan had been evaluated in March 08, so was up to date. On discussing this with the manager, three more care plans were examined. In total six care plans were examined and five were fully up to date. It was agreed that one individual member of staff had created the shortfall for one St Catherines Nursing Home DS0000021809.V361788.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 month. The manager advised that she would discuss this omission with the member of staff. Comprehensive risk assessments were included within the documentation. These risk assessments had been reviewed. People and relatives expressed their views, during the inspection: ‘The care is very good here’. ‘We like it here’. ‘We think mum is well looked after by the staff’. The storage, ordering, administration and disposal of medication procedures were discussed with the manager. The procedures explained by the manager were satisfactory. There was a signature-checking document, which contained the initials as written on the medication administration document and the member of staff’s signature. On examination of the medication administration records it was found that there were no omissions of signatures. All medication records had been signed when being checked in from the pharmacy. St Catherines Nursing Home DS0000021809.V361788.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 12, 13, 14 and 15. People who use the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Activities were very well organised and people were able to exercise their rights of choice within the service, therefore this provided stimulation and enhanced their quality of life. EVIDENCE: The manager advised that an activities co-ordinators was now in post, and had started just after the last inspection. There was a programme of planned social events displayed and included activities within the service and outings. The manager requested that the activities co-ordinator join us in the office to discuss the activities. On speaking with the activities person, it was established that he was a very enthusiastic and committed individual who took pride in his work and his achievements. He provided evidence, relating to activities from a file. These records showed when a person had participated in an activity, had a short period of one to one time or went out into the community. He advised St Catherines Nursing Home DS0000021809.V361788.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 that the sessions consisted of various activities, but were led by the requests of the people. The activities included newspaper discussions, relaxation, reminiscence, painting, and gardening. He explained that people had identified that the fish tank needed a collage and the people had produced one with his guidance. A similar situation had occurred regarding the floral decorations. The people had made hanging baskets for the home. Trips to gardens centres were a popular part of the outings. When touring the building it was observed that a notice of ‘Do not disturb’ was displayed on one of the doors. Within the room people were undertaking a discussion on the contents of the daily newspaper. On discussing the sign with the activities co-ordinator he advised that the notice had been displayed, as staff had ‘just popped their heads in for a word, but that had interrupted the session and it was not fair to the residents, particularly when doing the relaxation session’. On discussing the activities with the people, and relatives their opinions were that; ‘We are entertained very well’. ‘He (activities co-ordinators) is very good and we do lots of things’. ‘I’ve been in there this morning’. (Referring to the activities session) ‘Its very good’. Regarding the meals, the manager advised that the care staff asked the people for their order for dinner and tea, on the previous day. Breakfast consisted of the option of a cooked breakfast or continental. Dinner consisted of a choice of two cooked meals or a salad. Tea consisted of the choice of a light cooked meal or a sandwich. Copies of four weekly menus were seen, within the kitchen, and the food on the date of the visit was being prepared according to this menu. The kitchen had been inspected by the Environment Health services of Sheffield City Council, and following the inspection they had awarded the kitchen a 5 star rating, which was the highest award. This rating was evidence by the letter from the Environment Health services. Positive comments were received from the people and the relatives regarding the food provision. The general comments were that; ‘The food is ‘very good’ St Catherines Nursing Home DS0000021809.V361788.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 ‘They always give me a choice, and if I don’t like that they will give me something else’. ‘There is always plenty of food’. ‘The quality of food is good’. There was a query raised from the head cook regarding how other care services gave good standards of food provision, and how she could improve services at St Catherines. It was discussed that clearly they had received recognition for the Environmental Health services with the 5 stars, however she may wish to consider the options of increasing choices. It was accepted that a choice was available, however it was identified that some services had built on this and offered three or four choices. The head cook advised that she and her staff could achieve this and would discuss this with the manager, after the inspection. There was variety of activities being delivered, which were supported by documented evidence. The activities were lead by and clearly being enjoyed by the people. The quality of the kitchen services was recognised by the Environmental Health services. The head cook is continuing to strive to improve the quality within the provision of meals.

Safeguarding adults training made staff aware of their responsibility regarding the protection of vulnerable adults. EVIDENCE: The complaints procedure was displayed, and the information had been amended as required from the last inspection. On discussing complaints with the manager, she produced the complaints book that showed that there had been complaints but there was no record of recent complaints. She also identified that she was of the opinion that as she had been in post for over a year, relatives were comfortable in stopping her anytime and having a ‘chat’. We had not received any complaints. Regarding safeguarding adults, the service had policies and procedures which were available to staff. Staff had undertaken safeguarding adults training, and the manager was able to evidence this by showing training records and certificates.
