This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The unannounced inspection took place on the 5th September 2005 and took 5 hours. The home is owned by Mr and Mrs Afghan and Mrs Afghan is also the registered manager. The inspector was assisted by the homes staff due to the absence of the owners and registered manager. The homes staff were found to be extremely professional and knowledgeable regarding the service users needs and the homes policies and procedures. Legal requirements brought to the attention of the home at the last inspection on the 23rd February 2005 had been addressed and completed by the home. The inspection audited 19 of the 38 standards. The inspection involved a walk around the home, discussions with service users, two visitors and with the homes staff. The inspection also involved an audit of some of the homes documentation relevant to the provision of care for the service users living at the home. The inspector received nine comment cards from service users and visitors to the home. Comments received in them were found to be positive about the services they or their relatives received. Service users confirmed that they were happy living at the home. The registered manager in preparation for the inspection had completed the providers self audit which greatly assisted the inspector in carrying out the inspection process. The self-audit demonstrated that the service have an open, honest and transparent approach to the service they provide. What the service does well:
The home provides a homely and welcoming environment that enables service users to access all areas of the home and garden. Service users spoken to advised the inspector that the homes staff provide an excellent service and comments received included “nothing is to much trouble” and “ the staff are very caring and respectful to my needs”. The inspector witnessed staff interactions with service users and noted the obvious good relationships that were in place. Care plans were found to be in place and service users stated that the care that they received was good. Service user activities and leisure times provided by the home was found to be excellent. The home aims to promote individual choices and the promotion of
St Katherines Residential Care Home H55-H03 S11953 StKathertines V224290 050905.doc Version 1.40 Page 6 independence. Service users are able to participate in the home and the home facilitates a extensive range of activities and encourages a range of visitors providing activities into the home. All activities provided are based on service user choices. Service users who wish to go out are supported in a range of external venues and some service users access the community alone or with family and friends. The home provides books and daily newspapers of choice and a range of games and leisure equipment are available for use by the service users. The home provides adequate staffing levels to ensure service users wishing to participate in local facilities are supported when necessary. All staff working at the home are trained in areas relevant to the service being provided by the home and some staff are completing the NVQ 2 level. Staff spoken to displayed a commitment to providing a high standard of care and support to the service users living at the home. All staff displayed an understanding of service user needs and their forward thinking attitudes noted by the inspector indicated that the homes staff are highly motivated. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
The home has completed a range of suitable risk assessments both for the home and for risks to service users, however, on both the walk around the home and on audit of the risk assessments it was noted that the home had not considered the risks to service users from the outside staircase leading into the garden and the risks associated with the outside pond. The home is to undertake risk assessments for these areas and implement suitable controls if necessary. The home undertakes formal staff supervisions, however, these appear random. The home is required to ensure all staff receive formal supervision at least six times per year and these must be documented. On speaking to some staff members it was evident that the home ensures staff are provided with relevant training for the service they provide, however, one member of staff has not received training in moving and handling and food safety and is undertaking both these roles within the home. The home is required to ensure the staff member is trained in these areas.
