This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection to Swinton Hall took place on the 21st September 2007 and included a site visit. It took place over one day and it lasted for about eight hours. Information was gathered as part of the inspection process, which included a questionnaire completed by the manager, which gave information about the residents, the staff and the building. This selfassessment survey (Annual Quality Assurance Assessment) was received before the inspection.) Information held by the Commission, for example notifications of significant incidents was also reviewed. The time was spent talking to the residents, visiting relatives, the manager and the staff team about day-to-day life in the home and to establish what the home was like for the residents living there. A partial; tour of the premises was undertaken and examination of documents and care files for the individual residents. Questionnaires, asking residents, relatives and staff about what they thought about the home and the care provided were sent out and a high number were completed and returned. Some comments from these have been used in the report. The term preferred by the people consulted during the visit was “residents”. This term is, therefore, used throughout the report when referring to those living at the home. What the service does well:
The home ensures that all prospective residents are assessed before the offer of a place is confirmed at the home. The atmosphere within the home was welcoming, friendly and warm. Staff and residents spoken to had a sense of humour and appeared relaxed and comfortable. The communication skills of the staff with individuals was observed to be very positive. Residents and visiting relatives said the staff were generally very kind, helpful and friendly. One relative said, “The staff appear to be very happy in their work”. Comments throughout the surveys were positive and complimentary about the staff team and in relation to the activities provided. The relationships between residents/relatives and staff appeared positive and the residents were treated with respect. The staff were keen and enthusiastic and appeared to have a willingness to learn and further develop their knowledge. The residents enjoyed the food at the home and mealtimes were made to be a relaxed occasion.

Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Swinton Hall Nursing Home Ltd DS0000064111.V343076.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 3 and 6. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are given information about the home and pre admission assessments are carried out to ensure the care needs of the prospective resident can be fully met. EVIDENCE: The home’s Statement of Purpose and Service User guide provides some information for prospective residents about the services the home provides to meet there needs. The information booklet should show more clearly how the service meets the needs of residents receiving continuing care and should demonstrate the training and expertise the staff have in managing residents who require palliative care and/or the End of Life care pathway. Pre admission assessments are carried out to ensure the care needs of the prospective resident can be fully met. A review of three admission assessments highlighted that information was gathered, however the detail entered on the form varied dependent upon the individual who had carried out
Swinton Hall Nursing Home Ltd DS0000064111.V343076.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 the assessment. The manager said this had been identified and some staff training had been carried out and they had plans to change the format of the pre-admission assessment form. Residents requiring additional nursing and therapy input before returning home from hospital or those requiring a short period of nursing but do not require hospital admission are cared for on the Intermediate Care Unit. The assessment information on this unit was detailed and person centred. Residents who were admitted through a social worker had a care management assessment and copies of these assessments were available with each resident’s care plan. The manager said that relatives and representatives are invited to visit the home and are encouraged to look around before making a decision to move into the home. One new resident said, “I am really liking it here, the staff are very kind and they showed my husband round because he chose this home for me”. Swinton Hall Nursing Home Ltd DS0000064111.V343076.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The care planning system in place provides staff with the information they need to meet the resident’s needs. Some shortfalls in medication administration and recording have the potential to put resident’s at risk. EVIDENCE: A sample of care plans was reviewed on each unit. The care plans contained information about a wide range of personal and health care needs. The home has a team nursing system in place where the registered nurse, senior carer and care worker provide the care required for the individual residents. The care plans included evidence these had been signed and agreed with their relative. A relative responded in the relatives survey that;” We are involved in the care plan and more recently the advanced care plan. Staff at the home have reacted positively to my father’s complex care needs and understand the decisions that have been made for his care”. Care plans were case tracked for four residents as part of the inspection process. The care plans showed detailed and personalised care needs; these
Swinton Hall Nursing Home Ltd DS0000064111.V343076.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 were updated and reviewed as required. There was evidence of GP visits, including action to be taken. Improvements could be made in the audit trail of the care plan, for example staff were verbally up to date and aware of the residents condition however the wound record for a resident showed a low grade wound on admission to the home and then the form had not been updated to show the improvement. The records showed that advice is sought from appropriate health care workers and professionals allied to medicine as the residents’ health care needs required. Health and safety risk assessments were available and were well completed. Other risk assessments included nutrition and pressure relief. Bed rails were in place for a number of residents with the appropriate risk assessments in place. Staff commented there were always plentiful supply of gloves and aprons as required to carry out procedures and personal care. Staff spoken to were aware of the importance of the prevention of infection. There were social profiles in the care plans sampled. This included the residents likes and dislikes, hobbies or interests and some examples of their past working life. One resident’s sister stated, “They keep my brother clean, well cared for and he has good food. I can’t ask for anymore and he is very happy where he is.” From observations made throughout the home on the day of the inspection the staff showed attention to the personal grooming of the residents. Resident’s hair looked combed and gentlemen were clean shaved. Residents spoken to said they had been supported to get dressed in a pleasant manner and were given choice in their preferred clothes to wear. In the lounge areas staff were seen to address residents in a respectful manner. Staff showed care and support to residents and were seen chatting or just holding resident’s hands. The atmosphere in the home was warm, homely and friendly. The home had policies and procedures in place for the management of medication. Examination of a sample of medication administration charts (MAR) showed these had not been appropriately signed for on the chart when they had been received into the home. This appeared to have been a shortfall for this particular month and the manager was going to address this with the registered nurse responsible. It was noted that some of the medications had been handwritten onto the record sheet (MARS) and these were not signed and witnessed by the staff members. Medication was observed to be given by staff to a resident during their main meal; this practice is not acceptable unless the drug is required to be taken specifically with food. Staff must be reminded of the guidance in relation to the safe administration of medication in line with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and the home’s policies and procedures.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are given support and the opportunity to exercise choice and control over their lives. The food met with the residents’ satisfaction and activities provided in the home meant that residents have opportunities to be involved in stimulating and motivating activities. EVIDENCE: The full time activities organiser has been in post less than twelve months plans and provides a range of activities to suit different tastes and expectations. Comments from residents, relatives and staff demonstrate that her input has made improvements to the daily lives of residents at the home. During this inspection visit some residents were involved in painting and card making, whilst another resident had been out shopping for new clothes. Staff appeared to know the residents well and the care plans did include a social history for the residents. A discussion with the activities organiser highlighted there was not a formal programme of activities but residents were aware that activities and games were available. One resident said she had enjoyed the new horse racing game and another resident said she had enjoyed a game of scrabble last night.
Swinton Hall Nursing Home Ltd DS0000064111.V343076.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Some residents did comment that the mealtimes were quite often the highlight of the day and did not always feel there was enough going on to interest them. One resident said she enjoyed the “quiet lounge” and she had “thoroughly enjoyed a game of ball yesterday”. A record is kept of any activities the residents have taken part in and plans are in place to include these daily social care activities into the care plans. One resident did comment that she used to enjoy attending church and she would like to be able to receive communion more often, this was raised with the manager and the resident reassured this was possible. Staff said they did try to assist residents who have a limited ability to make choices about their daily lives by asking them where they preferred to spend their day or what they chose to wear. Residents said they were able to receive visitors at any time during the course of the day. This was confirmed by a number of relatives who were spoken to during the inspection visit. The residents are encouraged to, and do bring personal items such as photographs, televisions, radios and ornaments to add a personal touch to their bedrooms. The staff were seen to be friendly courteous and natural with the residents and it was evident they had a friendship with them. Relatives commented in the surveys that communication about changes in healthcare needs was clearly and regularly shared with them, either by phone or face to face. Residents who were able to express a view said the food was good and they got enough to eat. The main meal of fish chips and peas looked tasty and residents could have alternatives. The desert of homemade egg custard was delicious and a number of resident commented that the homemade deserts were very tasty. One resident enjoyed her fish poached and another resident enjoyed a meat salad. The dining tables were pleasantly laid and provided seating for four residents at each table, other residents chose to eat in the privacy of their bedroom and this was respected. The cook was quite new in post, however he was positive about the food available and he was satisfied the residents were eating the meals he prepared.
