What the care home does well

This nursing and residential home is managed by a competent manager who has worked at the home for two years. The manager is a trained nurse with a vast experience in caring for older people. She is also an Adult Protection trainer who networks with other local homes to teach awareness on adult protection issues. A clear and concise assessment of care and medical needs is undertaken prior to residents moving into the home. The care plans are stored in resident`s own rooms so they can access their own records whenever they wish and are fully involved when the plans are reviewed. These contain detailed and comprehensive health and social care needs to enable staff to care for residents as individuals. Residents are cared for in a homely environment on the outskirts of the town of Sheringham. Each resident`s bedroom contains their personal possessions and is decorated according to their taste. The Proprietor visits the home approximately once a week to offer support to the manager, staff and residents.They have invested in providing specialist equipment to enable the residents to be cared for adequately to ensure that nutritional needs, pain relief and pressure care is in place for those who are frail, within a homely environment. This home continues to provide facilities for residents who wish to smoke.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The last inspection concluded with two requirements being issued. The home has implemented both; the new smoking room is situated on the first floor. The manager has reviewed the staffing levels to ensure that suitably qualified competent and experienced staff are working in the home in such numbers as appropriate for the health and welfare of residents. The home has also implemented the recommendations also issued at the last inspection. The home employs an Activities Co-ordinator to manage the social interests and choice of activities for residents. Each resident is offered individual social activities in the form of conversation or games as well as on a group basis. Residents` personal views are sought through the care plan reviews and quality assurance audit. Some areas of the home have been refurbished, although general maintenance and redecoration is continuing. One of the bathrooms has been upgraded and redecorated with a second planning for a new adapted bath.

What the care home could do better:

The inspection concluded with two requirements and one recommendation issued to the manager.

This visit to St David’s took place on the 4th September 2007 as an unannounced inspection to check the outcomes of the key standards. These standards were inspected, although not all the elements have been examined. The evidence gathered to publish this report was obtained by speaking to twelve of the thirty three residents, two visitors, six staff and the manager during the day and checking through care records, policies and procedures. Further evidence was gathered from comments received through the numerous comment cards that were returned to the office from both residents and relatives prior to the visit and the information documented within the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment completed by the manager of St David’s. Part of the inspection involved a tour of the building and the home was found to be clean, tidy and free from odour. The majority of residents were either in their bedrooms or sitting in the lounge and garden areas, with several entertaining visitors. The home provides both nursing and residential care for older people. What the service does well: This nursing and residential home is managed by a competent manager who has worked at the home for two years. The manager is a trained nurse with a vast experience in caring for older people. She is also an Adult Protection trainer who networks with other local homes to teach awareness on adult protection issues. A clear and concise assessment of care and medical needs is undertaken prior to residents moving into the home.

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): Quality in this outcome area is good, Standards 1,3,6 were checked. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Written information is given to residents prior to admission to define the facilities offered at the home. All residents are admitted after an assessment of their needs. EVIDENCE: There has been a change of proprietor following from the last inspection. The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide has been updated to include the change of details. These documents are available in residents’ bedrooms. The manager explained the admission process for prospective residents and this was verified after speaking to a recently admitted resident, who confirmed that they had received the written information, with their relatives visiting the home to see the allocated bedroom prior to the admission. St David`s Nursing Home DS0000068537.V350267.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The manager visited the resident beforehand and asked questions about the level of care that would be required so she could arrange for any specialist equipment that was required. The pre-admission details contained personal wishes and needs about the level of care that was required, with instructions for the care staff on how to attend to them on an individual basis. This made up part of the care plan until the nurse in charge wrote a more detailed plan of care during the initial assessment period over the first four weeks. The home admits residents for intermediate care needs for those who may need nursing care, occupational therapy and physiotherapy for short periods. St David`s Nursing Home DS0000068537.V350267.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.

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.

Each of the care plans contained risk assessments in relation to their moving and handling needs, medication involvement, with indicators in place to monitor nutritional needs by assessing pressure care and weight management. St David`s Nursing Home DS0000068537.V350267.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Since the last inspection the home has developed a more person centred approach with the care plans and obtain more details about each resident’s past life before they were admitted to the home, which is good practice. The care plans are kept in individual resident’s bedrooms and residents can read their care plan at any time. The nurse keeps each resident up to date with any changes that require implementing regarding their nursing needs. The nurse explained that expertise from the community nurses was sought when specialist pressure equipment was required. Specialist services such as chiropody, physiotherapy, dental care and psychiatric services were regularly sought for those who required these. The manager confirmed that residents admitted from other areas tended to register with the local GP surgery, although some local residents have stayed with their own GP surgery. The local GP practice has a designated GP who visits the home on a weekly basis to review resident’s immediate needs,and also visits when required.

Each resident also confirmed that they felt ‘well looked after, by the staff. Residents confirmed that the staff at the home uphold their privacy and dignity at all times, assisting them back to their rooms or the quiet lounge if they require a quiet area. It was observed that staff knock on residents’ bedroom doors before entering their rooms. Twelve residents were spoken with and two relatives during this site visit.

The medication records were checked for the three residents involved with case tracking and found to be accurate. The trained nurses regularly audit the medicines to ensure no out of date medicines are kept. The manager confirmed that the local PCT pharmacist had visited the home recently to ensure that no risks are taken with the medication procedure.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good All the above standards were checked. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are generally content with the food offered. Social activities are adapted to suit resident’s individual tastes. EVIDENCE: The home employs an Activities Co-ordinator who arranges social gatherings throughout the year, one example being the musical afternoon enjoyed by residents the previous week. The notice board at the entrance contained information of the future social arrangements. A cream tea and raffle inviting relatives was arranged for two days time. An activities list was posted on the lounge notice board and included weekly exercise classes held every Monday, quizzes and games every Wednesday and a film show with an ice cream interval was in place every Friday. The Activities Co-ordinator also obtains background information on each resident, during one to one discussion, so any assistance with personal hobbies and interests are able to be supported by the staff.

They also confirmed that they were offered tea with their relative and privacy. It was observed that staff respected those residents who did not wish to take part in activities and preferred to stay in their room, although it was noted that some staff were sitting talking with residents at various times during the day. Many residents were too physically frail to take part in more organised activities. It was noted that the home provided talking books, music and reminiscence discussions. During this visit it was observed that a large number of residents sat outside in various parts of the garden enjoying the sunshine. Several residents who required assistance had their food cut up or staff assisted them in a dignified manner. One resident was seen to have some difficulty eating, although refused help from staff and was provided with protective clothing. The written comments received prior to inspection tended to be negative with one stating ‘too much mince’ and the ‘beef is too large’; the menu was checked and the chef was informed to monitor this. Verbal comments regarding the meals were positive on the day of inspection. The kitchen was found to be clean and the chef was preparing lunch of chicken pie, cod mornay and various salads with three options for dessert. The dining room is situated in the conservatory, so meals are transported and served direct from the hot trolley by the chef. Residents are asked their preferences on a weekly basis, although the chef confirmed that this could be altered if a resident’s condition changed. The meals appeared to suit the majority of residents and the chef regularly visits residents to seek their opinion when the menu is changed. The last Environmental Health visit issued three requirements, all three having been competed. Some residents were too frail to sit at the table in the dining room area, so staff respected their wishes to eat their meals where they sat in their own rooms having tables and adapted equipment provided. The home monitors the nutritional needs of residents and checks the weight of residents especially those who are vulnerable. Chef confirmed that food and supplements are available outside meal times.
