The inspector found no outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report, but made 6 statutory requirements (actions the home must comply with) as a result of this inspection.

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

Service users said they were very happy living at Sunnydene and regarded it as their home. Staff seem professional and supportive, and are liked by service users. Service users are encouraged to participate in day-to-day life in the home, and wider community. Service users are encouraged to learn new skills, and have the opportunity to be consulted about life decisions and aspects of the home. There are suitable opportunities to participate in a wide range of day activities.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The new registered manager and new deputy manager appear to have settled in well to their roles. All service users now have a care plan and these are reviewed regularly. Arrangements have been put in place to resolve some accessibility issues for people with mobility problems, in respect to the upstairs shower and the pathway at the side of the home. This work now needs to be completed. All staff now have a Protection of Vulnerable Adults check. A risk assessment regarding Legionella has been completed, and appropriate measures are in place to ensure suitable checks take place.

What the care home could do better:

The inspection resulted in four statutory requirements. Action in these areas is required by law, within the timescales set. Some improvement is required to the medication system for example there were a few gaps in staff signing for medication. All staff need to receive training regarding handling medication.Although recruitment procedures and checks are generally satisfactory, two references must be available for inspection for each member of staff employed. Although Mencap`s organisational induction procedure is satisfactory, there should be an induction checklist so there is evidence staff have been inducted regarding Sunnydene`s routines and procedures Financial procedures are generally satisfactory, although some improvements are required to record keeping regarding service users moneys e.g. records need to be completed in ink rather than pencil.

This key inspection took place in ten and a half hours over two days. All of the key standards were inspected. The methodology used for this inspection was: • To case track four service users. This included, where possible, meeting and discussing with the service users their experiences, and inspecting their records. • Discussing with staff their experiences working in the home. • Discussion with other service users. • Observing care practices. • Discussing care practices with management. • Inspecting records and the care environment. Other evidence gathered since the previous inspection, such as notifications received from the home (e.g. regarding any incidents which occurred), was used to help form the judgements made in the report. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: The inspection resulted in four statutory requirements. Action in these areas is required by law, within the timescales set. Some improvement is required to the medication system for example there were a few gaps in staff signing for medication. All staff need to receive training regarding handling medication. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Although recruitment procedures and checks are generally satisfactory, two references must be available for inspection for each member of staff employed. Although Mencap’s organisational induction procedure is satisfactory, there should be an induction checklist so there is evidence staff have been inducted regarding Sunnydene’s routines and procedures Financial procedures are generally satisfactory, although some improvements are required to record keeping regarding service users moneys e.g. records need to be completed in ink rather than pencil.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2, 5 Quality in this area is good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The home has a suitable statement of purpose and service user guide. The service user guide has been issued to service users and, where appropriate, to their representatives. Service users are issued with a tenancy agreement at the time of admission. It is recommended service users also receive a copy of Mencap’s terms and conditions of residency at the time of admission, in line with Mencap policies and procedures. However service users do receive suitable information regarding their rights and responsibilities. The registered provider should however clarify arrangements regarding tenancy agreements issued by the housing association. The pre admission assessment procedure is good, and, should enable the registered persons to ascertain they can meet the needs of service users, before admission is arranged. EVIDENCE: A suitable statement of purpose, and service user guide were inspected. However the details regarding the registered manager need to be updated now that Mrs Ackerley is the manager. A copy of the updated documentation should be forwarded to the Commission. All service users have received a tenancy agreement from New Era Housing Association. The ownership and housing management of Sunnydene has however been transferred to West Country Housing Association. The registered manager contacted West Country who stated not to issue a new West Country Housing Association tenancy agreement, as the rights of tenure may be different. It is recommended the registered provider clarify this in writing to ascertain whether service users Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 have adequate security of tenure if they do not have a West Country tenancy agreement. It is also recommended the registered manager issues an individualised copy of terms and conditions of residency to all service users and keeps a copy of this on each service user’s file. Copies of social services contracts of care were available for inspection. The home has not had any recent admissions, but the registered provider has developed a suitable assessment policy and procedure. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7, 9 Quality in this area is generally good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. All service users have a care plan and these are reviewed. Care plans ensure staff have suitable information to provide care. Service users are encouraged to make decisions about their lives with suitable assistance as required. The registered persons approach to handling service users moneys is satisfactory, although some improvement is required for example regarding recordkeeping. The registered persons have a suitable approach to risk, so service users can be assured they will be supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. EVIDENCE: There is a copy of a care plan in each service user file. Staff said care plans were accessible to them. Some service users said they were aware of their care plans and are involved in drawing them up. The care plan format is comprehensive and generally gives clear guidance to staff regarding service user needs. Service users and staff said service users are encouraged to make decisions regarding their lives. Suitable risk assessments are in place to assess any risks or actions to promote independence. Staff look after some service user moneys, for which suitable records (including a risk assessment) are Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 maintained. However all records need to be completed in pen rather than pencil. For security reasons, the front sheet of chequebooks needs to be removed when these are received. The inspector will write to the registered provider regarding the service user moneys policy. The registered provider has a satisfactory policy regarding diversity and equality. There are currently no service users from ethnic minorities, although the registered manager stated the home would be more than happy to accommodate service users from other cultures. The local population is predominantly Cornish, and from ‘White-UK’ background. Service users with a physical disability or sensory impairment appear to receive appropriate support. Women service users have equal opportunity compared with their male counterparts. Issues regarding sexuality seem to be suitably addressed. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the 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, 15, 16, 17 Quality in this area is good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Service users can participate in a suitable range of activities, and are able to mix with the wider community. Service users are encouraged to maintain relationships with friends and relatives. Service users rights are respected, and service users are enabled to take a suitable amount of responsibility in their daily lives. Suitable arrangements are in place so service users enjoy a healthy and varied diet. EVIDENCE: Service users said they attend a range of day activities including attending day centres and college. Some service users also have voluntary jobs and sheltered work placements. Service users and staff said other activities are also arranged in the evenings and at weekends. Service users can have an annual holiday, which they have to pay for. The home has a ‘multi purpose vehicle’ for service user use. Service users said they visit friends and relatives regularly, and they are encouraged to maintain contact via the telephone or post. Two service users are engaged to marry, and appear to receive suitable support with their Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 relationship. Visiting arrangements are flexible, and there is suitable space for service users to receive visitors privately. Service users said they could get up and go to bed when they wish, although some may need reminding to get up on the days they attend the day centre. Service users said staff worked with them in a way, which respects their privacy and dignity. Service users said staff knock on bedroom doors, and their mail is not opened without their agreement. Locks are fitted to bedroom doors. Service users and staff said service users have some involvement in household tasks for example doing laundry, cleaning tasks, shopping and cooking. Service users said they enjoyed the food provided and it was to a good standard. Individual service users cook their own meals and suitable records are maintained. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19, 20 Quality in this area is adequate. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Personal care is delivered to a good standard, and there are suitable links with medical professionals. The management of service users medicines requires some improvement so service users can be assured their medication is suitably looked after. EVIDENCE: Service users said they received suitable care and support from staff. Any personal care needs are documented in care plans. Staff the inspector spoke to seem clear regarding what assistance service users need. Care plans document appropriate links with GP’s, dentists, opticians, chiropodists and other professionals. Service users said they regularly saw medical professionals when required. The registered manager and other staff reported no problems with links with medical professionals. Medication is stored securely, and dispensed via a ‘monitored dosage system’. However some improvements to the system are required. There were some gaps in the signing of medication records. Some staff also need to receive external training regarding medication. There was also a tray of pots with nametags, which were used for the administration of medication. The registered manager assured the inspector medication was not administered ‘en masse’, and retrospectively signed. However the registered manager said Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 medication was at times taken from the blister pack, and left in the pot for a service user. This was done if the service user was not able/ willing to take it when the medication round was completed. This practice needs to stop to prevent an error occurring. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22, 23 Quality in this area is generally good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Complaints are dealt with appropriately although the registered provider’s Complaints Procedure does not meet the national minimum standard. Mencap has a satisfactory adult protection policy, which provides a suitable framework for ensuring service users can feel they are in safe hands. EVIDENCE: The registered provider has developed a complaints procedure. The registered manager has included a summary of this in the statement of purpose / service user guide. The inspector read the organisation’s complaints policy in the ‘Operations Manual.’ This requires updating, for example the organisational policy refers to the National Care Standards Commission, which has now been superseded by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The policy also regards complainants’ right to contact the Commission as the last stage of the procedure, rather than stating complainants can contact the Commission at any time as outlined in NMS 22.3. The registered persons have been notified regarding this in several CSCI reports for Mencap care homes in Cornwall. However, the registered manager has put up a poster in the office regarding how service users and their representatives can contact CSCI if they have a concern or complaint. Service users said they would have confidence in staff / management if they had a concern or a complaint, and they felt the matter would be dealt with appropriately. Mencap has an appropriate adult protection policy. New staff attend the Mencap training regarding abuse (Protect Me) as part of the organisation’s foundation training. All staff have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check and where appropriate a Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) check. Staff and service users all said they had not witnessed any bad or abusive practices. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24, 30 Quality in this area is good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Sunnydene provides a pleasant, homely and clean environment for service users. EVIDENCE: The building was inspected. The home offers a pleasant and homely environment for service users. Bedrooms and communal areas are of suitable size to meet the needs of service users. The home was clean and hygienic on the day of the inspection. Suitable cleaning routines are in place. Service user bedrooms are pleasantly decorated according to individual tastes. Furnishings in bedrooms are appropriate. The upstairs shower room is currently not used, but the housing association has confirmed they will replace this shortly. The previous inspection report dated 18th January 2006 outlined a requirement for the pathway at the side of the building to be paved. Again the housing association have confirmed in writing that this will be carried out shortly. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 34, 35 Quality in this area is generally good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Staffing levels appear satisfactory so service users can be assured they will get suitable levels of staff support. Recruitment records are generally satisfactory although copies of references must be available for inspection. This will help to ensure service users know they are in safe hands. Staff training is to a good standard so service users can be assured staff receive appropriate training as required by regulation, and staff are equipped with suitable skills and knowledge to cater for service user needs. However an induction checklist needs to be developed and completed for new staff employed from the date of this report. Equal opportunities issues regarding recruitment and work practices seem appropriate. EVIDENCE: Rotas indicate the registered persons provide suitable staffing to meet service users needs. Service users stated they believed staffing levels to be satisfactory. There is usually two staff on duty first thing in the morning, and in the afternoon / evening on weekdays. At weekends there are two staff on duty first thing in the morning, and either during the day or in the afternoon / evening. This level of cover is appropriate considering the number and current needs of the service users living at Sunnydene. The inspector inspected staff files. The registered persons generally obtain suitable information regarding the recruitment of staff. This generally includes Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 two references and evidence confirming the person’s identity. Staff also have a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) check and Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) check (as applicable) when they commence employment. However there were no copies of references for one member of staff who commenced employment in 2006 and for another who commenced employment in 1984. The registered manager assured the inspector the references had been taken up, but had not been filed. She said the references for the person who had been employed since 1984 were no longer available. The information at least for the more recent appointee must be available for inspection. A staff induction system is in place for new staff. This involves staff working ‘shadow’ shifts with managers / more experienced staff. Mencap has a comprehensive induction and foundation course programme, which all new staff have to complete. However, the registered manager needs to develop an induction checklist regarding local procedures in addition to the ‘generic’ induction training. This should confirm staff have been inducted regarding household procedures and routines. It is recommended that regular staff supervision should be a part of any induction period (e.g. weekly or fortnightly). Mencap has a suitable training programme. There is suitable evidence staff have received training as required by regulation. This includes fire training, first aid, food hygiene, manual handling, and infection control. However staff need to receive training regarding medication as outlined earlier in the report. Mencap has a suitable approach to ensuring staff have the opportunity to obtain a National Vocational Qualification in care. According to the preinspection questionnaire currently 66 of staff have either a NVQ 2 or 3. One service user is diagnosed as having Asperger’s Syndrome. The service user has been resident at the home for a considerable period of time, and staff seem well aware of the person’s needs. However it would be beneficial if staff could receive some training regarding this diagnosis. The registered manager said two staff have recently attended a course regarding Autism. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39, 42 Quality in this area is good. The judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The registered manager appears to be suitably experienced and skilled to manage the home. There is a suitable quality assurance system in place to enable service users and other stakeholders to be consulted about their views. The management of health and safety issues is good so service users can be assured they live in a safe environment. EVIDENCE: Mrs Jane Ackerley is suitably experienced and skilled to manage the home. She is due to commence National Vocational Qualifications in care and management shortly. Service users and staff were positive about the registered managers’ approach. MENCAP has a suitable approach to quality assurance. A survey was completed in 2006 regarding stakeholder views and these were positive. A summary report of the findings, and a development plan was subsequently produced. The registered manager also arranges regular staff meetings and regular residents meetings. Sunnydene DS0000009227.V308611.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 The registered provider has a suitable health and safety policy. Records kept of checks required by regulation are satisfactory. For example there are suitable records of the testing of fire equipment, the central heating system, portable electrical appliances and the electrical hardwire circuit. Accident records are maintained. Health and safety risk assessments are satisfactory. A suitable fire risk assessment has also been completed. Suitable insurance cover appears to be in place.
