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 good pre assessment process and ongoing assessments that enable the staff to determine the needs of the residents. Staff have good communication skills and it was noted that there is a demonstration of warmth and care when interacting with residents and each other. The home manages the care of immobile residents very well and there are no residents with pressure damage. Equipment, risk assessment and preventative care plans were available. Residents spoken to stated that they felt safe and cared for in the home, and that the staff were always kind and available to assist them. The relationship between the home staff and the GP services is very good, where new ways of communicating and ensuring that the residents receive good professional care has been implemented. The home informs and includes residents and their representatives in the decision on how to meet assessed needs of the resident. There is sufficient evidence to show that residents at the home maintain their admission weight and where weight loss occurs the GP, dietician and staff work together to determine the cause and to devise good working practices to encourage weight gain.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has developed further risk assessments related to the care of residents who are artificially feed. These have enabled staff to ensure that the residents receive good consistent care at all times. All hot water outlets are now monitored monthly to ensure that the running temperatures are at approximately 43oC. There is now an activity organiser for both areas in the home, some activities are available and from records it was found that the residents in the Dementia Care unit have a variety of activities three days a week.

What the care home could do better:

Care plans for complex care needs require some attention to ensure that the information contained within them is correct and changes are made as needed. The corridors in the Dementia Care Unit have an unpleasant smell and the home must deal with this as soon as possible, either replacing the carpets or removing the smell. There are some activities in the home, however, this needs to be developed further to ensure that all residents at the home have the opportunity to participate in activities that meet their personal interests, hobbies and abilities. The home must consider the storage of medication and carryout a risk assessment to ensure that this meets with the criteria of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society There are some water outlets that are no longer used; these should be disconnected from the water supply to reduce the risk of infection.

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): These standards were not assessed and a full assessment will take place at the next inspection. EVIDENCE: St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 The residents’ health, personal and social care needs are fully met however the care needs are not fully set out in the individual care plans which might result in inconsistent in the care is given. The residents are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for managing medication. EVIDENCE: Five care profiles were examined in depth, three from the Elderly Frail Unit and two from the Dementia Care Unit. There were pre-assessment in all profiles seen that had been completed prior to admission to ensure that the assessed care needs could be met. A letter was sent to the prospective resident with the Contract of Residency and information related to admission and the care that can be provided. Assessment continues after admission where risk assessments and ongoing evaluation of the effectiveness of care given is carried out. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 All profiles seen had care plans available, these were to the point and written in plain English. All care plans are evaluated monthly and there was evidence that the resident and/or their representative were involved in developing the initial care after admission. It was discussed with the registered manager that changes in residents’ care are discussed with the resident and/or their representative and evidence that this has occurred is available. All residents have a full functional assessment, which is checked each month, there are, however a lack of care plans to deal with issues arising from this assessment. In one case a resident who has anxiety, shouts out, and swears has no suitable care plan to guide the behaviour of staff toward this situation. This could result in inconsistency in approach, which may cause further frustration and anxiety to the resident. It was also found that a resident who is artificially feed had been seen by the dietician and the regime of feeding had been altered, the care plan did not reflect this change and the information in the residents room was also different. It was found that the staff were aware of the new regime, however, this relies on verbal communication and good memory and mistakes could result. Discussion took place with a visiting GP who stated that the home are very good at communicating with his surgery and that between them they have developed a communication sheet which is completed by both the nurse and the GP. This enables the home and the GP to track changes in residents’ health status and treatment that has been given including tests and referrals. Daily records seen were concise and gave information about the residents’ day and their general health. Records showed that residents have access to other health professionals and are assisted to access care from the National Health Service. The home has suitable policies and procedures for the management of medication and the registered manager audits medication administration on a monthly basis giving feedback to the qualified staff on areas that require improvement. There were some creams seen in residents’ rooms that are administered by the care staff during daily hygiene routines. There were no locked facilities seen for these to be stored. The home does not have a procedure for administering over the counter medication to the residents; this was discussed with the registered manager. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 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 Residents find that the lifestyle experienced in the home does not always match their expectations and preferences, and does not always satisfy their recreational interests and needs. Residents maintain contact with family, friends and representatives and the local community if they wish. EVIDENCE: An activity profile of all the residents in the Dementia Care Unit was examined and this showed that there are a variety of activities involving small groups and individuals. It was found that the activity organiser for this area works three days a week, at other times there are few activities. This was discussed with the registered manager and the owner of the home. During the inspection no activities were seen. It was also noted that the communal areas in the Dementia Care Unit lacked a homely feel, there were no books, magazines, dolls for doll therapy. There was also a lack of pictures and ornaments. The rooms felt institutional and bear. This was discussed with the registered manager and the owner who stated that this would be looked into. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 The activity organiser for the Elderly Frail Unit has been absent and there was no evidence that any activities have been carried out in this area. Residents were seen sitting in their rooms, in bed or in the communal areas with little if nothing to do. One resident was seen in their bedroom reading a newspaper and watching television, and stated that they were quite happy to entertain themselves. Another resident was seen alone in a lounge area, which had two birds in a cage. The resident stated that they were very noisy and that they did not like them. There were no books or magazines seen and the television was very low making it difficult to hear it. The residents are assisted to receive visitors at any reasonable time, and there was evidence in the profiles of visits and discussion between staff, residents and their visitors. Staff spoken to stated that the residents may receive visitors in the communal areas, the small conservatory or their own rooms. One carer spoken to described taking a resident out shopping, it was noted that staff do take residents either individually or in small groups out to the shops, the local pub and to various local beauty spots. It was discussed that records of this must be maintained. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 17 & 18 The residents’ legal rights are protected and they are protected from abuse through the training, policies and procedures and practices in the home. EVIDENCE: Through discussion and records it was noted that the residents are given the opportunity to vote in local and general elections through postal voting or visiting the local polling station. All residents are registered with the local electoral register and the home ensures that those residents who are interested can be involved in the political process. The home acts as the representative for two residents; both have lived at the home for a number of years and have no known relatives. The process of handling their money was discussed and found to be appropriate. There are suitable policies and procedures related to the recognition of abuse and the role of staff in reporting suspicions or actual abuse. The home is presently investigating an allegation of abuse and it was found that they have acted appropriately and in accordance with national and local guidance. The home has a policy and procedure in relation to restraint of residents in certain circumstances. This needs to be evaluated and up dated. The policy discusses forms of restraint such as using a small table and recliners to prevent residents from rising from their chair. This practice is out dated and could be potentially cause accidents. The registered manager assured the inspector that these practices do not take place, and it was not observed red during the inspection. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 The home demonstrated good practices when dealing with other forms of restraint such as the use of bed rails. A full assessment is carried out on the resident and appropriate forms are completed and signed by the home and the resident and/or their representative. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 20, 24 & 26 Residents live in a safe, reasonably maintained environment with comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Resident bedrooms are comfortable, personalised and reasonably maintained. The home is clean, pleasant and most areas are free from odours. EVIDENCE: St Mary’s is situated in the green belt just outside Harbour Magna the nearest town is Rugby. There is no local bus service and residents are taken out using the homes transport. The home has two floors containing single bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms containing toilet, hand washbasin and shower. Nine bedrooms were seen during the inspection and they were found to be in a reasonable state of décor, clean, free from odours and in most cases personalised. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 16 One room appeared very bare, however, it was noted that the resident tends to hide their personal belongings. It was noted that there are no locked facilities in the residents’ bedrooms for the storage of creams and personal belongings; this was discussed with the registered manager who stated that this would be addressed. It was also noted that there are no locks to bedroom doors, this areas requires attention. There are extensive grounds and the views over the surrounding countryside are far reaching. The gardens are fenced to provide safety for the residents. The smaller area to the rear of the home contains a patio with seating and tables surrounded by raised flowerbeds. There is also a large garden area in the centre of the building, the residents can get into this area through a variety of patio doors leading onto an area where they can sit. The gardens are reasonably maintained, it was noted that the grass was rather long and there was a lack of flowers and character to the larger garden area. There is a dining area and two lounge areas on each unit in the home. A small kitchen area is available off the dining room on both floors. It was noted that the door to this area is wedged open while staff serve meals and drinks. It was also wedged open when no staff were present. This is poor practice and could result in an injury or accident and contravenes the fire regulations. Doors that need to be open must be fitted with a door release that is considered safe and the doors must be closed when staff are not in the immediate vicinity. The home has a full time maintenance person who carries out minor repairs and decorating. The home also has contracts with a variety of suppliers for equipment used in the home. One washing machine has broken and the home now has only one washing machine and one drier, the registered manager and owner must assess that there is sufficient equipment to ensure that the laundry person can deal with all the washing requirements within her working day. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 17 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 28, 29 & 30 Residents are in safe hands at all times and supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policies and procedures. Staff are trained and competent to do their job. EVIDENCE: The home has a positive view to training staff and 46 of care staff have completed their National Vocational Training at level II or III. There are also four overseas qualified nurses who are working as carers, due to their training they are classed as qualified carer. The home therefore has 61.5 trained care staff. There is also a qualified nurse registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council on duty in each unit at all times. Five staff records were examined and it was found that all the checks that are required to ensure that staff who are fit to care for vulnerable people are employed had been carried out. Some files were missing copies of identity checks made and did not have a current photograph of the member of staff. Full induction of all new staff is carried out and the completed records of these are kept on file. St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period.

EVIDENCE: The registered manager has been in post since July 2005, she is a qualified nurse with a number of years experience working within the community. Despite not having run a care home before she demonstrated her knowledge of the National Minimum Standards for Older People. Since commencing as the manager she has completed training in Abuse, Adult Protection and Protection of Vulnerable Adults; Dementia care Matters run by St Mary`s Nursing Home DS0000004410.V250927.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 David Sheard and is due to commence her national Vocational Qualification at level IV in Care Management. She has also recommenced supervision of all care staff, through discussion and records seen it was confirmed that all areas related to philosophy of care, practices and training are covered during these sessions. Relatives and residents have completed a survey of the home’s services earlier this year and the analysis of the replies was seen. Discussion took place on how the information can be used to improve standards in the home and the registered manager was interested in the use of these to encourage changes in practice and delivery of the service. Other areas of residents care are audited monthly such as medication, accidents and incidents and any damage to skin. Audits and monitoring of other areas of the service were discussed and the manager verbally committed to developing this area. The home manages the personal monies of only a small number of residents who do not have any relatives or representatives. Records of all transactions are maintained with corresponding receipts. Most residents and/or their representatives are invoiced at the end of each month for their fees and any other monies spent.
