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

Staff encourage service users to maintain their own skills and remain as independent as possible. The service users take part in a variety of events and activities out in the community and also enjoy in-house games and music in the large downstairs games room. Service users were also relaxing in the various lounge areas reading newspapers and watching television. Staff have shown sensitivity following the death of their oldest service user and continue to support the other service users discussing personal memories when appropriate. Safety checks relating to water, electricity, fire precautions and gas are carried out at regular intervals. Despite having problems in recruiting a cook, satisfactory interim arrangements have been put in place for some meals to be bought in from a catering service to augment the cooking being done by care staff

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has been recently given an update with many items of modern comfortable furniture all selected by the service users from local shops. People living at the home said they had enjoyed choosing the furniture and going with staff to buy items. Many areas of the home have been repainted in contemporary style giving the house, despite its older design limitations, a bright modern interior.

St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The focus of inspections undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) is on outcomes for Service Users and their views of the service provided. This process considers the home’s capacity to meet regulatory requirements, minimum standards of practice; and focuses on aspects of service provisions that need further development. The inspection was unannounced and lasted some five hours on the afternoon of 16 June 2005. The home was in the charge of the acting manager, discussions and checking of records were held with her and conversation held with people living at the home and staff. The primary method of inspection used was ‘case tracking’ which involved selecting three service users and tracking the care received through review of the case records and holding conversations with these people. Observations were made also of staff interaction with service users. What the service does well: Staff encourage service users to maintain their own skills and remain as independent as possible. The service users take part in a variety of events and activities out in the community and also enjoy in-house games and music in the large downstairs games room. Service users were also relaxing in the various lounge areas reading newspapers and watching television. Staff have shown sensitivity following the death of their oldest service user and continue to support the other service users discussing personal memories when appropriate. Safety checks relating to water, electricity, fire precautions and gas are carried out at regular intervals. Despite having problems in recruiting a cook, satisfactory interim arrangements have been put in place for some meals to be bought in from a catering service to augment the cooking being done by care staff. St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Risk assessments of the premises were last reviewed three years ago and need to be updated now that staff have received updated training on risk management. One window needs to be fitted with a restrictor to prevent it being opened too far. An immediate requirement was made during the inspection regarding the recording, administration and ordering processes for medication as errors were found. Written confirmation was subsequently received by CSCI that action had been taken to improve the medication system and to provide additional medication training to staff. A decision is needed regarding the reduction of one bed from the total number of people able to be accommodated at the home. Initial discussions have been held with the Acting Manager. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 7 inspection.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11,12,13,14,15,16 and 17(Younger Adults) and 10,12,13 and 15 (Older People) The daily routines and lifestyles experienced by service users are satisfactory. St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 13 EVIDENCE: It was clear from conversations with people living at St Lucia that service users follow individual routines during the day including attendance at workplaces, daycentres and remaining at home. Service users were fully involved and knew about the home’s routines such as fire safety, the checks done on electrical equipment and raised questions about the future plans for the home. Service users have helped choose new furniture and paint colours for bedrooms and lounges. The manager has been trying to obtain a volunteer worker to accompany a service user on fishing trips for some three months and this hobby is clearly important to the particular individual. From conversations with other service users it would appear that other hobbies and activities are well catered for. Friendships and relationships are supported and encouraged so that service users have a normal lifestyle. Four service users went on a week’s holiday recently to Spain with staff and spoke about their time abroad with excitement. The Home’s games room provides a focus point for social activities including a pool table, an organ, facilities for Discos and other games. There is also a range of audio and visual equipment in the communal lounges so service users can watch TV and listen to music. The home has been finding it difficult to recruit a cook and interviews were to be held following the inspection visit. Interim arrangements have been put in place for some meals to be bought in from a catering service to augment the cooking being done by care staff. Service users said that the meal during the visit was good and there was cake for dessert.

The Commission considers Standards 18, 19 and 20 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 8, 9 and 10 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18,19,20 and 21 (Younger Adults) and 8,9,10 and 11 (Older people) Although the home generally provides a person-centred service, the service users were potentially at risk because of failures in the medication system. EVIDENCE: Service users are quickly referred to their GPs and receive care from other community health professionals when necessary. One service user had just been discharged from hospital and the home had arranged for the occupational therapist to visit to discuss additional equipment necessary for the support of this person. An immediate requirement was made during the inspection regarding the recording, administration and ordering processes for medication as errors were found. Written confirmation was subsequently received by CSCI that action St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 15 had been completed to improve the medication system and to provide additional training to staff.

(OP NMS 26) The Commission considers Standards 24 and 30 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 19 and 26 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24,25,26,27,28,29 and 30 (Younger Adults) and 19,20,21,22,23,24,and 26 (Older People). The home is homely with a modern style of decoration and furnishing however there are a number of premises issues that potentially may be risks for service users. EVIDENCE: Several bedrooms and lounges were viewed. These were freshly decorated with good quality modern furniture and have adequate space for storage. All St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 18 bedrooms were comfortable and personalised with the service user’s own possessions. The home was generally clean and had no odours. One bedroom, used previously as a double, should now be allocated for single use and this will require further discussion between the manager and senior managers responsible for the home as it will result in an overall reduction of the numbers of beds registered at the home. As agreed with the manager, CSCI is to be formally advised regarding the decision. Toilets and bathrooms are suitable for use by the current service users. The manager has agreed that further cleaning will be done to remedy long-term staining in toilet bowls. The laundry area is compact yet workable and three service users are able to help with their own washing. A window next to the middle floor lounge is able to open too far and is a risk to service users. The manager said the window would be made safe as a matter of urgency and has arranged for a contractor to visit and estimate for the remedial work. Risk assessments of the premises were last reviewed three years ago and the manager agreed that all areas need to be reviewed. The manager confirmed that senior staff have recently completed training in managing risks and assessments would be given priority. St Lucia House C51 C08 S31874 St Lucia House V232525 160605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 27 – 30 & 36 (Older People) are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

(OP NMS 36) The Commission considers Standards 34 and 35 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 27,29 and 30 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 33 (Younger Adults) The home has been unable to provide sufficient staff support for one service user. EVIDENCE: The main hobby of one service user is currently on hold while the manager looks for a volunteer worker to accompany him out in the community. As this now means that no fishing trip has taken place for some three months, consideration should be given to allocation of staff time to facilitate this individual hobby and fulfil this unmet need.

The home’s manager is undergoing a registration process with CSCI. Regular visits are made by senior managers of the Northampton County Council to monitor the operation of the home. Regular checks are carried out and recorded relating to the maintenance of electrical, water, gas and fire detection systems. Fire drills are recorded and service users and staff responded by getting out of the building without any problems. The manager said that risk assessments relating to the premises and the cleaning materials handled by staff are due to be reviewed following training given to staff at the home. Service users said that they know what is happening at the home, staff help them and that they are involved in making decisions with staff.
