Medication records looked at by the Inspector were up to date with photographs available of each
The Grange Rest Home DS0000014251.V290523.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 individual resident for easy identification. All individual records showed a clear explanation and instruction of PRN (as required) or preferred medication. Residents who self medicated had been risk assessed to do so.

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. The home is pro-active in ensuring that residents are able to maintain links with their families and friends and given the opportunity to join in a choice of activities in the home. Meals are good and presented well with residents having choice if they do not like what is on offer. EVIDENCE: When the Inspector spoke with residents in the home they all said that they have the opportunity to join in activities. Activities spoken about included bingo, reminiscence therapy, arts and crafts, singing, listening to live music and trips out of the home for walks or to the theatre. On the day of inspection eleven residents were seen enjoying a musical afternoon with a singer playing the organ. The home does have its own organ in the dining room but at the time of inspection no one could play. All relatives and friends spoken to prior to the inspection said they are always made very welcome in the home and offered a drink on arrival. During lunch one resident told the Inspector that a friend of hers visited each week and stayed the day having lunch in the dining room with all the other residents. Conversations with residents, relatives and staff all confirmed that the home has a warm and friendly approach encouraging residents to maintain their social lives if they wish.
The Grange Rest Home DS0000014251.V290523.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 The Inspector visited residents in their rooms and those who chose not to join in activities said they are able to undertake arts and crafts, listen to the radio or watch the television in their own room if they wish. Staff frequently visit residents who are unwell for a chat to prevent them feeling isolated. Throughout the home the Inspector observed evidence of very good communication.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,20,21,22,23,24,25 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is good with residents having pleasant bedrooms and communal areas in which to live. The home is pro-active in improving facilities making them homely and bright however hot water pipes above floor level in some rooms need addressing as a priority. EVIDENCE: Requirements from the last report have been addressed with the exception of fitting blinds in the conservatory, adjoining the dining room. The Registered Manager explained this is due to future renovation and extension of the dining room resulting in the conservatory being taken down. It was agreed that on sunny days when residents use the conservatory, staff would ensure that they have extra drink available and are monitored to prevent them getting too hot. The conservatory faces east and has the effect of the sun until midday during the summer months. During a tour of the premises the Inspector noted that some pipes above the floor in residents rooms had not been covered when the rooms were redecorated. It was agreed that this would be addressed as a matter of urgency giving priority to rooms 7 and 9 then rooms 5,11,12 and 20. In
The Grange Rest Home DS0000014251.V290523.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 16 addition to this, on the first landing a radiator has been removed leaving the water fittings in place.

The Registered Manager said that the home had not been specifically assessed by an occupational therapist although any resident requiring aids or adaptations would be referred for OT support. The home does have grab rails and equipment in place to assist residents with poor mobility. There is a small passenger lift servicing all three floors. It was a greed that for good practice a recommendation will be made in this report suggesting an OT assessment is sought. Residents’ rooms visited by the Inspector were found to be inviting and homely with each resident having personalised his/her individual accommodation. Residents with electric kettles have been risk assessed to use them. Residents and relatives spoken with all said they found the home very homely and that it was always kept clean and tidy. On the day of inspection there were no offensive odours and everywhere looked very clean and well organised. The laundry area in the home is situated outside with access through the kitchen area. The Registered Manager is aware of the importance of ensuring that laundry from the home is securely sealed before being taken to the laundry. The laundry itself has hand washing facilities and industrial machines. Staff have protective clothing for dealing with human waste and the Registered Manager said there are plans to provide a sluice for this purpose. Liquid soap and paper towels are used in communal toilets and hand washing areas. For good practice the Inspector recommended some control of infection posters be on view as a reminder to staff of the importance of health and safety and control of infection procedures. The side entrance to the home is kept locked for the security of the residents; all visitors have access through the front door which has an entry system in place.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,32,33,35,36,37 and 38. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is well run and the outcome for residents is good. There is clear communication throughout the home that supports an ethos promoting that residents have a homely and secure place in which to live. EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager has been working in the home for nine years, five of which have been as the manager. She has taken a break from undertaking NVQ4 in care but is planning to resume it again. The Deputy Manager supports the Registered Manager and takes responsibility for care planning, training and staff supervision. She is also studying for NVQ4. Staff are trained in moving and handling, fire safety, health and safety, food hygiene and first aid and control of infection. The Registered Manager has been the Appointed First Aid person in the home but as her certificate has run out is considering delegating the position to another member of staff.
The Grange Rest Home DS0000014251.V290523.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 The Registered Manager and Inspector discussed staff meetings and resident/relatives meetings. Although efforts have been made in the past to hold staff meetings the Registered Manager said that attendance was poor. Discussion took place about making sure that staff did attend; the Inspector and two members of staff later discussed this. The Inspector is aware through conversations with relatives, residents and staff, and through observation that communication in the home is very good and agreed with the Registered Manager that a recommendation will be made in this report that meetings are resumed to promote good practice. Staff in the home do not manage the financial affairs of the residents and do not act as appointee or have power of attorney. The Registered Manager does hold small amounts of personal allowances that are banked by relatives when the amount becomes excessive. Receipt books are used for all financial transactions relating to personal allowances. Staff records showed that supervision does take place approximately every eight weeks and the Registered Manager and Inspector discussed the need for a more suitable format. A requirement will be made in this report that the Deputy Manager receives appropriate supervision to support her role in the home. Staff receive fire safety training and fire drills take place every two months. The Registered Manager said that the home has a ‘stay put policy’ and residents are not automatically evacuated from the home in the event of a fire. This has been discussed with the fire safety officer for the home. The Inspector requested this be written into the homes fire safety policy and will be supported by a requirement in this report. All other equipment in the home is tested for efficiency on a regular basis including the call alarm system, emergency lighting, and fire fighting equipment. The maintenance person takes responsibility for testing the water temperatures throughout the home and makes visual wiring checks to support the pat tests (portable appliance tests). At the time of inspection one resident required the use of an oxygen cylinder and staff had ensured that appropriate signage was in place. Recording in the home is generally good however the Inspector and Registered Manager discussed a suitable format for a maintenance book covering a record of all maintenance work planned and all work undertaken.
