The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was a key inspection and the visit to the home was unannounced, taking place over a period of seven and a half hours. Questionnaires were sent out prior to the site visit to a range of people who have an experience of the service. The inspector received comments back from two members of staff and three visitors. This information as well as information received from the manager provide a focus for inspection and will be reflected in this report. On arrival at the home the building was looked around and a number of records and policies were inspected. The owner, manager and five members of staff were spoken to. Three service users and a visitor to the home were also spoken to on a one to one basis and the majority of people who lived in the home were spoken to as they went about their daily activities. What the service does well:
A number of positive comments were received from people who use the service. They said that staff are kind and look after them well. The people who lived in the home said that the food was very good and there was lots of choice. The meals provided were balanced and a choice was offered at every mealtime. There were a variety of activities available and the staff were observed to positively encourage and assist people to take up activities of their choice. The home is well decorated, clean, tidy and homely. The owners make sure that the good standards are maintained. All the people who spoke to the inspector said that they were happy with everything and have no concerns about how the home is run. Staff spoken to were knowledgeable about how to protect vulnerable people and people said that they feel safe when being offered personal care and helped around the home by staff. The training made available to staff is appropriate for the work that they perform and takes place on a regular basis. The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Combined with the home’s regular audits, there is a system for consulting people who live in or visit the home about the quality of care provided. This information is used to monitor and improve standards in the home. The people who want to live in the home have their needs assessed and a detailed care plan developed to inform staff what care is required to meet the person’s needs. All the care given is recorded and the care plans had been regularly reviewed to ensure that they were up to date. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
The home was generally well managed and safety checks had been completed in most areas. However they must ensure that hot water temperatures in bathrooms are not so high that it puts people at risk of accidental burns. They must also ensure that the fire alarm is tested at least weekly to ensure that it is in full working order. The home was very clean and tidy but there was room that was very odorous so they must ensure that all rooms are kept free from odours to ensure a comfortable environment. The staff received a wide variety of training but training records were not always kept up to date to evidence that staff had received all the required training. They must provide evidence that all the staff have received moving and handling training in the last twelve months. They must ensure that staff receive formal supervision at least six times per year.

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): 3 and 6 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is able to meet the needs of service users owing to a thorough assessment on admission. EVIDENCE: There was evidence in files examined that the home had undertaken a thorough assessment of peoples needs. The assessments were not always dated or signed by the person completing them to evidence that the information was gathered prior to the person being admitted to the home. The assessments were well-presented and linked clearly to individuals care plans. The assessments included information from people who used the services and their representatives and health professionals. This evidenced
The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 that the home worked in partnership to ensure full information about people’s lives and care needs was recorded. The home does not provide intermediate care. The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People’s health and personal care needs were met and people felt they were treated with respect. EVIDENCE: The home had detailed plans of care in place that described the needs of individuals clearly and demonstrated to staff how these needs were to be met. The care plans reflected the content of the assessment. Staff demonstrated, when asked, that they had a good working knowledge of people’s needs. Three care records were looked at during the visit to the home. These indicated that people’s health care needs were met. People said that they could see a GP when they wished and the home organised this for them. A chiropodist regularly visited the home and records showed assistance was
The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 given to attend other health care appointments such as the optician and dentist when required. There was good management of risks where people’s mobility was reduced and the records detailed the care to be provided in such cases. There was evidence that peoples weight was measured on a regular basis in order for the home to monitor nutritional needs. The home had developed links with the dietetics department at the local hospital and staff had attended training. A screening tool had been implemented to ensure any issues with nutrition could be identified quickly and the home was able to refer directly to the department for advice. Where one person had been identified as at risk their weight and dietary intake had been monitored and a referral made to the dietician. Not all the care plans or risk assessments were signed by the individual or their representative to show that these had been discussed and agreed. One person would be able to self medicate but preferred the home to do this for them. The home did not actively promote self-medication and this policy should be reviewed. The home demonstrated that it administered medication appropriately by keeping comprehensive and fully completed records. This included controlled drugs. Medication was stored appropriately and the temperature of the room and cabinets were monitored. Records and discussions with staff confirmed that those who administered medication had been trained to do so. The medication policy and procedure did not include procedures for disposal of medication or the action to take in the event of a medication error and this should be further developed. People spoken with said that staff treated them with respect and were polite. Positive and lively interactions were observed between individuals and staff. A number of people said that the staff were nice and kind to them. Staff were observed to speak to people appropriately on the day of inspection. In discussion with staff about respecting people’s privacy, staff were able to demonstrate that they understood the need for sensitivity when carrying out personal care tasks. Staff were observed to knock on people’s doors prior to entering and people said that their privacy was respected. The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Good facilities were provided for people to experience activities and community and religious involvement of their choosing and maintain contact with their relatives and friends. Meals were nutritious and balanced, offering a healthy and varied diet. EVIDENCE: Although social needs and preferences were not always identified on assessment people’s lifestyle in the home satisfied their social, cultural religious and recreational needs. This was evidenced in care plans and in talking to people and staff. A range of weekly activities was offered in the home including bingo, reminiscence, board games, baking and arts and craft. Staff were observed to positively encourage and assist people with activities. Religious services were regularly held in the home and people were able to attend church services in the community if they wished.
The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Staff were all involved in assisting people to participate in the activities. A charge of £5 per week was charged for activities. This had been agreed by people using the service or by their representative but there was no evidence to show that the additional charges had been made known to the Local Authority where they were funding people’s care. It is recommended that this is discussed and agreement sought with the Local Authority. Contact with family and friends was promoted by the home. People were positive about being able to see their friends and family when they wished. Visitors to the home say that they were made to feel comfortable and that the atmosphere was welcoming. One visitor says that she was invited to stay for dinner. A number of people in the home commented about the food and how good it was. One person said that the food was “good and there is plenty of choice”; another said, “ the food is very good and there is plenty of it”. Menus were balanced and varied. It was observed that staff offered choice at meal times and the menus indicated that a choice was available at every meal. Meals were well presented and organised. One staff member stated that having a kitchen assistant now at teatime had made a big difference to the care offered at this busy time. The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 & 18 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The arrangements for complaints and protection were handled well. EVIDENCE: The home has a clear complaints procedure in place and this was displayed in the home. People spoken to said that they had no complaints about the home and feel confident to raise issues of concern if they arise. The relationships between staff and people who live in the home were observed to be open and inclusive. Complaints were recorded in a complaints log and addressed by the manager. There had been no complaints since the last visit to the home. The home had a policy in place to protect people form abuse. Staff spoken with were clear about reporting procedures should anyone make an allegation of abuse. All staff had received training in this area via the local council. This subject was also covered in supervision sessions and questionnaires were also used. The manager was advised to review records to ensure all staff had received refresher training in last twelve months, as the supervision sessions had been infrequent and these sessions were not recorded in training records. The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Environment

EVIDENCE: The facilities that the home provides for people were of a high standard. The home was regularly decorated and a planned programme of maintenance was in place. The toilet and bathing facilities for service users were maintained to a high standard and were sited suitably. Locks missing from toilet and shower room doors at the last inspection had been replaced so that service users privacy was protected. The hot water temperature in one bathroom was too high at
The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 48°C. The water temperature must be maintained close to and not exceeding 43°C to prevent accidental burns.

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. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 People who use the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Well-trained staff looked after people in the home although records were not always up to date. Recruitment had improved and offered protection to people living in the home. EVIDENCE: The home was staffed appropriately. Three staff were on duty throughout the day, which included a senior member of staff. The manager was supernumerary to the rota. A further member of staff was provided at weekends on the early shift and a teatime assistant was provided from 4pm to 7 pm, 7 days a week. Two members of staff were on duty from 8pm to 8am with a staff member on call. Of the seventeen care staff employed eleven had achieved NVQ level 2 and three are working towards this qualification. The recruitment of staff had improved and all checks with regard to references and POVA first check (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) had been obtained prior to employment. The home held records of interview but had not recorded
The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 meetings and decision-making processes re recruitment where CRB (Criminal Record Bureau) checks had identified convictions. This is recommended to evidence that levels of risk were considered prior to employment. A training plan was in place and a record of training received by staff in the home was available for inspection. The training was varied and appropriate for the work that staff undertake. The staff confirmed that they reci3ved a wide variety of training in the home which was relevant to their role. The manager stated that moving and handling training had been completed on the 4 December 2007 but she had not received the certificates to evidence this. She was requested to provide evidence to the Commission that this training had been completed. Training in working with people with dementia was provided and ongoing for all staff. Throughout the inspection the staff showed that they were very skilled in working with people with dementia. Staff said that the course was excellent and they had changed and improved practice as a result. Staff had received an induction to skills for care standards once employed by the home. The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 36 and 38 People who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. A lack of consistent fire alarm checks may put staff and people living in the home at risk in an otherwise well managed home. Staff supervision had not been provided at the required frequency to ensure support and future development for staff. EVIDENCE: The manager has been in post for 4 years and has achieved the registered manager’s award and NVQ level 4 in care. Staff and people living in the home say that the manager is approachable and supportive.
The Chestnuts DS0000034324.V356606.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 The home operates an effective quality assurance system that seeks the views of people living in the home and staff on a regular basis. This has been further developed to seek the views of health professionals and other stakeholders. There is a monthly audit system in place that looks at key areas aimed at improving standards. People are protected by the financial procedures of the home. The home does not act as appointee for any residents and looks after monies for individuals appropriately. Written records of all transactions were accurately maintained. The home had a residents’ fund that was contributed to by fund raising events and donations. The records had been reviewed to ensure that these clearly showed all the transactions. The home had recently been charging people who live in the home £5 per month as a contribution towards activities. Whilst there was agreement to this from people or their representative, they had not informed the Local Authority about the additional charges and this is recommended where the Local Authority are funding people. Formal one to one supervision had been provided but not at the frequency to achieve at least six sessions per year. The manager was advised to review how this could be achieved and to ensure that a supervision plan is implemented. The appropriate safety checks were carried out within the specified time frame and policies were in place for safe working practice, which means that the environment is a safe place. However the fire alarm had not been tested consistently on a weekly basis dating back to April 2007. In April and July the alarm was only tested once, only twice in June and three times in other months up to November when it had been tested weekly. This means that the system is not being frequently checked to ensure that it is in full working order and there may be a risk of people not being alerted in the event of a fire if there is a system failure.
