What the care home does well

Assessment`s of peoples needs are very thorough and include details of risks which people wish to take to maintain their independence. The home provides an excellent " Welcome pack" in the preferred format for each person, so that they know about what services the home has to offer them. A good range of activities is provided which meets the social needs of people living there. People said they received care in a way that respected their privacy and dignity. They also said " The food is good". The home has made excellent adaptations to the environment so that it helps the people who are visually impaired. One person said "I really like it here. There is a nice atmosphere, and it`s easy to find your way around, there are different textures on the floor, and handrails and talking tapes machines also help. Press it and it tells you exactly where you are. The grounds are excellent,with not being able to get out on the road, and the garden track with hand rail allows exercise to be taken, and it really is excellent". Staff induction and training is thorough and includes information about specific needs relating to poor sight, and the care that people with sight problems require, so that staff can meet these needs. A robust complaints procedure is in place to ensure that any concerns raised are investigated and dealt with thoroughly. The service is monitored in relation to the quality of service being provided to people, to ensure that the standards of service are maintained. Checks are carried out regularly to make sure the high quality of care is maintained.

What has improved since the last inspection?

There were no requirements or recommendations made at the last Inspection.

What the care home could do better:

Staffing levels and skill mix should be reviewed and action taken to ensure that people`s needs are met, especially when staff shortages occur. The manager must be sure that the numbers of care staff on each shift are able to support people properly at all times. The manager should ask people and their visitors when they are available to attend meetings, to try to improve the attendance so that they can have a say in how the home is run. The manager should satisfy herself that adequate hot water temperature monitoring minimises the risk of people being scalded.

Also “ staff are very friendly, so professional, they get on with what they are doing, if you are passing they have a word with you”. Upon speaking with four members of care staff issues were raised about staff feeling under pressure by covering sickness, absence and holidays, on care as well as other departments. Staff said the manager listened to their views and was trying to resolve this by looking at the staffing levels and skill mix provided within the home. Staff expressed concerns that although they felt the Tate House - RNIB DS0000035128.V343652.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 manager listened and was very supportive, staff felt under pressure due to increased client numbers and they felt there was not enough quality time to be spent with individuals. Upon inspecting the rota, extra staff were not on duty at peak times of activity. One comment received was “Staff time is often short, as so much effort is having to be put into paperwork. It would be good if there could be more opportunity to mix, chat and generally give us more mental and social stimulation”. These issues were discussed with the deputy manager. She is aware that staff fell under pressure. It has also been highlighted in the homes own survey, carried out to get peoples views.
