The Commission has, since the 1st April 2006, developed the way it undertakes its inspection of care services. This inspection of the service was an unannounced ‘Key Inspection’. The inspector arrived at the service at 09.30 and was in the service for 5 .5 hours. It was a thorough look at how well the service is doing. It took into account detailed information provided by the service’s owner or manager, and any information that CSCI has received about the service since the last inspection. The inspector asked the views of the people who use the services and other people seen during the inspection or who responded to questionnaires that the Commission had sent out. Communication with some of the residents was limited, due to their communication difficulties, however body language and appearance indicated a sence of well being. The inspector looked at how well the service was meeting the standards set by the government and has in this report made judgements about the standard of the service. The CSCI would like to thank the residents, the owner, manager, staff and visitors for their hospitality, assistance and co-operation during the “Key Inspection” process. What the service does well: The owner, home manager and staff demonstrated an open and inclusive approach to the residents’ care. The residents benefit from a long standing staff team, some of whom who have worked in the home for several years, and this was reflected in the level of knowledge and understanding of the needs and preferences of the residents. The home promotes and encourages contact with family/friends and the local community. Residents spoken with were complimentary about the care and services provided by the home. They commented that, they always get the care and help they need, “that the care they received was good” and “that the staff are very good”. Relatives commented that the staff at the home were very professional, that they remained friendly and approachable and nothing was too much trouble. Health care professionals commented that staff were helpful, they communicate well and are very well informed about the residents’ needs. The standard of environment is good, providing the residents with a very pleasant place to live.

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): 3,5 People who use the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are only admitted to the home following an assessment of their needs. The home does not provide an intermediate care service. EVIDENCE: The home provides a care service mainly for privately funded residents however some local authority service users can be admitted from time to time. The manager stated that following a referral and telephone discussion the prospective resident would be invited to the home for further discussion. This was evidenced in a letter of thanks from one relative. Following this visit the manager would then visit a prospective resident at their home or hospital to carry out the care needs assessment. The home would undertake a six week trial assessment to ensure that the resident’s needs could be properly met. The manager stated that if there were any areas of concern in that time then the placement would be reviewed. One resident spoken with commented that before she was admitted to the home she came for a visit to see if she would like it. One relative commented that their visit to The Grange to assess The Grange Chertsey (2002) Ltd DS0000013655.V335299.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 whether it could meet their relative’s needs only confirmed their desire for their relative to live at the home. Four of the residents’ care needs assessments were sampled and were found to provide a comprehensive overview of the resident’s care needs, for example all daily living activities and their preferences in respect of their names, health and social care needs, spiritual needs and their likes and dislikes around activities. The Grange Chertsey (2002) Ltd DS0000013655.V335299.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): 7,8,9,10 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. Residents’ health and social care needs are well met. They are treated with respect and their privacy and dignity are promoted. Improvements are required in the care plan documentation. EVIDENCE: The resident’s care plan is incorporated into the home’s care needs assessment document, and whilst the care needs assessments were comprehensive it was not clear as to which care need had a corresponding care plan. The last page of the document had a general statement in respect of the care needs identified, however it did not provide the reader with clear instructions as to how care needs identified were to be met. Discussions were had with the manager in respect of developing these documents, in order to ensure that each identified care need had a documented corresponding care plan in place. There was evidence to suggest that the documents had been reviewed on a monthly basis. Residents and a visitor to the home commented, that, “the care they received at the home was good” and that they had access to their care plan as they were kept in their bedrooms. None of the documents sampled had been signed by a resident or their The Grange Chertsey (2002) Ltd DS0000013655.V335299.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 representative, however all had been signed by the manager. Discussions were had in respect of gaining a resident’s or representative’s signature on the care plan or recording the reasons as to why no signatures had been obtained. It should be noted that following the site visit, the inspector was informed that the care plan format had been improved. The owner stated that the new format was completed the following day. Medication practices and procedures in respect of administration, record keeping, storage and training were sampled. Medication administration was observed and was found to be carried out in a sensitive and safe manner. The storage of medication was also found to be safe. General medication record sheets were sampled, and were found to be well documented, with no gaps in signatures noted. The staff commented that daily checks are carried on the medication record sheets and any issues noted would be addressed with the member of staff at the time. Discussions were had with the care staff about the home’s medication policies and procedures. It was evident through these discussions, that the staff had a good understanding of the policies and procedures. The manager commented, that only the senior staff who had undertaken formal training and who were competent were permitted to administer medications. Care staff confirmed this. Medication training was evidenced in the home’s training records. Throughout the inspection process, staff were observed carrying out various aspects of personal care for the residents, this support was offered in a respectful and sensitive manner. Staff were observed knocking on doors and waiting to be invited in, before entering rooms. Bathroom doors were kept closed whilst staff were attending to residents’ personal care needs. Residents and a relative commented that, all of the staff were kind and treated them with respect. A requirement and a recommendation have been made in respect of these areas. Please refer to pages 25 and 26 of this report.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The environment is able to meet the changing needs of the residents, it is homely, clean safe and comfortable. EVIDENCE: The home is an older property and therefore presents the owners with challenges in respect of the constant need for updating and refurbishment. Considerable work has been undertaken in this respect since the last inspection. Improvements have been made in the bathroom facilities, three baths have been removed and replaced with walk in showers, which makes things easier for those frailer residents. Five bedrooms have been refurbished and two are undergoing refurbishment, residents commented that their rooms were lovely. It should be noted that there are five double bedrooms, and the owner stated that they were occupied by only one resident. Many areas in the home have been redecorated, providing a more pleasant environment for all. A second shaft lift has been installed which will provide residents with lift access to the 2nd floor.

The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29,30 People who use the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staff in the home are trained, skilled and in sufficient numbers to support the people who use the service. Improvements are required in the recruitment practices to ensure that two written references are in place for all staff. EVIDENCE: Staff files sampled and work based observations evidenced that the home employs a diverse staff group. On the day the staffing levels were adequate for the dependency levels of the residents. Staff commented that the home was very seldom short staffed and that there was minimum agency usage as evidenced in the staffing rotas and the pre inspection questionnaire. As discussed earlier in this report, the home is being extended further to provide 19 more bedrooms. Both the manager and owner stated that the staffing levels will be increased to reflect the increase in residents and the overall size of the building. The aim is to have a team of staff on each floor. Residents and relatives commented that all of the staff were kind, helpful, knew what they were doing and good at their jobs and that nothing would be achieved at the home without the dedication of all the staff who work there. Health care professionals commented that staff were helpful, they communicate well and are very well informed about the residents’ needs. One care manager commented that the home responds well to all of the residents’ needs regardless of age, disability gender and culture. The Grange Chertsey (2002) Ltd DS0000013655.V335299.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The home’s recruitment practices were sampled, and were found to be satisfactory. Three staff files were sampled and all had the required documentation in place, with evidence of CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) or POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults) checks. One of the files did not have a reference from the member of staff’s previous employer, another one had one written reference and one verbal reference. There was no evidence to indicate the verbal reference had been followed up with a written reference. Discussions were had with the manager and owner in respect of these shortfalls. Discussions were also had in respect of the retention of CRB disclosures and the need to refer to the guidelines in this respect. The day after the site visit discussions were had with the manager in respect of the verbal reference. She was unable to confirm that they had received a follow up written reference. The manager confirmed that if the situation were to arise in the future, she would ensure that all staff had two written references. Therefore no requirements have been made in this respect. Discussions were had with staff, who, talked about their job roles and responsibilities. Work based observations, evidenced competent and confident staff carrying out their various tasks. Staff training is given a high priority in the home and staff discussed some of the training they had undertaken. Training records demonstrated that statutory and various current good practice training had been undertaken since the last inspection for example: promoting incontinence, being positive under pressure, dementia care, risk assessment and care planning. The home is proactive in promoting NVQ (National Vocation Qualifications), and is working towards the National Minimum Standard recommendation of having at least 50 of care staff with NVQ2 or above. The manager commented that training courses were arranged to ensure that all staff have an opportunity to attend, for example; training courses timed in the evenings to enable the night staff and staff with carer responsibilities to attend. The training records did not evidence any specific training in respect of Equality and Diversity, however the manager and staff commented that Diversity issues are discussed during the staff induction training, on a day- to- day basis and in the NVQ modules. Care staff discussed various diversity issues in respect of the residents, for example residents rising and going to bed when they please, residents’ faith needs being addressed, and residents’ dietary needs being considered.

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): 31,32,33,35,37,38 People who use the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area.

The residents benefit from an open and inclusive management approach to the running of the home and their views are listened to. EVIDENCE: The registered manager has worked at the home for 3 years. She is a registered nurse and has recently achieved the Registered Managers award. All of the residents and staff spoken with commented that the manager has a hands on approach to the residents’ care, this was evidenced on the day as the manager was observed helping out with carer responsibilities. A visitor to the home commented that the manager was very helpful and was always available if someone wished to speak with her. The home actively seeks the views of the residents. Resident association meeting are held, where residents are encouraged to express their views.

To date they have not sent any service user surveys out to residents or other stakeholders. The manager was confident that residents’ views are actively sought on a daily basis as she spends time out on the floor and meets with all of the residents. Residents spoken with commented that the manager was always around. The inspector sampled a considerable number of letters of thanks received at the home. Discussions were had with the manager around residents’ personal monies. She stated that resident’s families/representatives had responsibility for resident’s monies. Discussions with the manager and care staff indicated that one to one staff supervision meetings were held. However the manager commented that it was a challenge to achieve the required number per year. She stated that some of the senior care staff were going undertaken a training course in respect of staff supervision in order to ensure the required number of meetings are undertaken. The staff commented that they regularly work together with the manager and other senior staff and have regular discussions around residents’ needs. They also commented that they had formal one to one meetings with a manager. There was some evidence on the managers IT system. Discussions were had with the manager in respect of the staff being issued with copies of their supervision records. The staff commented that, they are also expected to attend regular team meetings. The most recent team meeting was held on 30th April as evidenced in the minutes of the meetings. Health and safety checks are routinely carried out at the home.
