Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced site visit, which forms part of the home’s first key inspection to be undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection, was undertaken by Mrs Mavis Clahar on the 3rd October 2006, and lasted for six and one half hours; commencing at 09:25 and concluding at 16:00 hours. The first part of the visit was spent speaking with those service users who were on their way out to attend their activities for the day, and observing care workers interacting respectfully with these service users. The inspector was mindful of the service users timetable including the traffic so this encounter was not prolonged. Time was spent updating the acting manger, the deputy manager and the provider on the improvements CSCI has made to improve the inspection processes under Inspecting for Better Lives. Two service users were still asleep so a tour of the home was not conducted until after they had risen, washed and had their breakfast and went out for their daily activities. The home was found to be clean and tidy, and free of unpleasant odours. The grounds were in good condition with the lawn neatly cut. The second part of the inspection was spent reviewing service users care notes, and sampling care workers records. These were all in order. Observation of the weeks’ duty roster indicated that there is adequate numbers of care workers on duty to meet the assessed needs of the service usersThe final part of the inspection was spent giving feed back to the manager about the findings of the visit. Service users’ opinion on the service contained in this report was obtained from two service users. One was able to fully discuss all issues relating to life at the home, within the community, likes and dislikes and dietary intake. The other service user was not so verbally able so communication was by observation of body language such as facial movements hand movements sitting position etc when the inspector asked direct questions to this service user. What the service does well: There are now seven service users living in the home and the staffing levels were observed to be four carers plus the Occupational Therapist (OT)in the morning, four carers plus the OT (until Mid-afternoon) in the pm. Two care workers were on night duty. Staff training has been given high priority with care workers encouraged and enabled to pursue qualification to enable them to meet the assessed needs of the service users.

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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Admissions to the home are not made until a full needs assessment has been undertaken to ensure the home can meet the needs of the service user. The assessment is conducted professionally and sensitively and involves the service user and their family or representative where appropriate, and the psychologist, and the occupational therapist. Where the assessment is undertaken by social services, the home obtains a copy and a copy of the care plans also. EVIDENCE: Review of service users files demonstrated that the home has established a good process of assessing service users needs. This has been enhanced by the joint development of service users care plans with service users. The assessment contains the documented evidence of the psychiatrist, psychologist and occupational therapist. In discussion with service users it was evident the service users are involved in the assessments of their needs and aspirations. Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

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 outcome is good. This judgement has been made using the available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are involved in the review of their care, and agreed changes are documented in their care plans, thereby ensuring all care workers have access to this new information. The home encourages service users to make decisions about their daily lives, and to take risks as part of their independent lifestyles, with assistance from the key worker when necessary. EVIDENCE: Random review of service users files demonstrated that service users assessed needs are documented in the care plans and the evaluations demonstrated that changing needs are recorded. How much the service users are currently aware of this was hard to ascertain. It is obvious from the information contained in the care plan that the service users were involved, but since neither the care worker or the service users signed and dated the care plans it is hard to be certain of service users agreement. A requirement was issued on Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 this standard. Care workers spoken to say the assessment of needs is carried out over a period of time and that the service users and their families are very involved. It was apparent that service users made decisions about their lives. The inspector noted that one service user took a long time to get dressed this is because this service user need to be fully dressed up with make up and jewellery. The care workers allow her time to accomplish this. It was noted during random review of service users file that this information was documented in the assessment and also in the care plans. The inspector observed that this service user was well dressed for the day. Another service user told the inspector he is goes to church on a regular basis and he has a voluntary job at the church. When questioned about the job he told the inspector I like to see the church clean also the gardens so I try to do this two times per week with help from my key worker. In discussion with care workers the inspector was told service users are involved in the care of their home. They have a weekly menu-planning meeting followed by food shopping which involves the service users. Some service users are encouraged to do their own laundry with the support of their key worker. No service user is allowed to do any ironing at this home. The home has only recently been opened and the first intake of service users were involved in the decision on which service users to be admitted into the home.

They are encouraged to live a full life and to partake in age related activities such as going to the pub, having meals out attending college of further education. Their religious beliefs are acknowledged and encouraged. One service user in Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 particular attends church on a regular basis, whilst another likes to use his computer and another likes his football and will watch every game his team plays. Review of service users records and in discussion with care workers it was documented that Service users are encouraged to make friends outside of the home and to keep in touch with their friends and families as they wish. One service user’s family is unable to visit the home at present so the home has made arrangements for this service user to visit her family on a two times weekly basis as agreed with the service user and his family. Service users are enabled to entertain their guest in the privacy of their bedroom if they so wish. The home documentation on service users choices is based on Respect, Independence, Community participation and Community presence. The care workers aided by the service users provide catering service for all at the home.

They recognise that the delivery of personal care is highly flexible, consistent and reliable ensuring that service users receive personal care and support in the way they prefer; and that their emotional and health needs are met. None of the service users at this home are assessed as capable to selfadminister their medication. Medication is administered by staff trained to do so, thereby being protected by the home’s policies and procedures on administration of medication. EVIDENCE: Discussions with service users, care workers and review of care plans indicated each service user received the agreed personal care and support as directed in the care plans. Physical and emotional needs identified in the care plans are also met. The care plans are reviewed on a regular basis, visits to the doctor dentist, and dietician are carried out on a regular basis. Daily care notes are Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 documented dated and signed by the key worker or other care worker as necessary. Review of randomly selected service user files revealed that no service user at the home is risk assessed as capable to self-administer their medication. A review of the medication records demonstrated that medication is not being administered within the home’s policy and guidelines of administration of medicines. One off prescriptions ordered by the GP are being hand written on to the MAR sheet by care workers, with no photocopy of the original prescription. A requirement was issued on this standard.

Robust safeguarding policies are in place to protect the service users from abuse. EVIDENCE: CSCI Eashing office has not received any complaints about this home since the last inspection. The home did not have a complaint log for the inspector to review. Included in the service users information pack kept in their bedroom is the homes’ complaints policy and service users’ guide. However, the manager informed the inspector that issues raised by service users are dealt with instantly before they can become complaints. The home did not keep a compliments log either. A recommendation was made on this standard to start a complaints log immediately. This was done prior to the ending of the visit.

In discussion with care workers it was verified that the home provided training and regular updates for them. The home has a good recruitment policy, which is adhered to. It was noted Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 that all members of staff were recorded as having had an application to the Criminal Record Bureau (CRB). The home is still awaiting the return of two applications. Review of staff files demonstrated Schedule 2 of the Care Homes Regulations 2001 (Amended) was being observed by the home.

The acting manager continues to ensure that care workers follow the policies and procedures. Care workers have handbooks and easy access to all documents including the latest copy of the CSCI report. Regular staff and service users and staff meetings are held but these meetings are not recorded. There is evidence that the management of the home is open and that service users and care workers opinions are listened to and valued. EVIDENCE: Following the resignation of the registered manager, the provider has appointed the Head of Care as temporary manager until a replacement manager was appointed. The provider informed the inspector that in spite of national advertisements a suitable candidate has not been found so he has Swallowfields Care Centre DS0000064389.V314962.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 decided to train two of his current care staff one as manager and the other as deputy manager. Both these members of staff are currently undertaking the Registered Managers Award (RMA) and NVQ L4 in care. On the day of the visit the Head of Care was not available. In discussion with service users the inspector was told there is good service users involvement in all aspects of the running of the home even though some service users might not like performing some task such as cooking. One service user said, “we are asked about having a new resident. They come and stay for a while and if we don’t like them we say no and we don’t see them again.” It was difficult to measure how confident service users were that their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Documented evidence from service users/care workers meetings was not available. However, the acting manager informed the inspector that service users and care workers opinions were listened to and acted upon. Service users are encouraged and supported to make choices even when these choices might involve some degree of risks, for which appropriate risk assessment is completed. Review of service users care plans and daily notes revealed that each service user is allocated a key worker and a supporter to the key worker. In discussion with service users it was apparent they knew who their main worker was and the support worker as well. Service users said their key worker accompanies them when they go out on social occasions. Each service user is registered with the local GP practice, which they access as required. Chiropody service and dental service is also accessed as required. Service users have access to the wider primary health care services and the acting manager is aware of whom to contact if the need arises. The acting manager ensures that at all times the health, welfare and safety of the service user and care staff are promoted and protected by having suitable numbers of trained care workers on duty at all times to meet the assessed needs of the service users.
