The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 8 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS 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 The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 9 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,3, 4 The statement of purpose does not quite meet requirements and therefore service users do not have all of the information they need to make a choice about where they live. Service users have their needs assessed and are confident that their needs are met. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose was assessed and found not to meet the regulation fully as specified under Regulation 4 schedule 1. The document needs to state the age range and sex of the service users catered for [registration category details] the range of needs that the care home is intended to meet, whether nursing is to be provided or not, Any criteria for admission, including the care homes policy and procedures and the number and size of rooms. Copies of the service user guide are provided in each bedroom. The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 Assessments for two recently admitted Service User and two other long-term service users were reviewed. A copy of the community care assessments had been obtained prior to admission and the home had also carried out an assessment of needs and these were found to be reviewed. The homes assessment meets with the requirements of standard 3.3, however not all of the service users needs [identified in Community Care assessments] had been fully identified, either in the homes assessment or care plans, such as depression/low mood. The inspector and registered manager discussed the section for the assessment of the mental state of service users on the homes document, which currently is being used to identify if the service user is orientated, rather than addressing any wider psychological or mental health needs. The NMS wording is mental health and cognition. The registered manager agreed to review the way that these needs were identified and addressed. There was evidence of medication details and medication reviews and declarations regarding furniture and equipment, lockable facilities and bedroom door keys. On speaking with four service users and three relatives, it was confirmed that service users felt their needs were being met and praised the registered provider, registered manager and staff team. Comments were that staff go out of their way to be helpful and that their independence is respected. Relatives reported that service users were well cared for and happy. Relatives also reported that they felt welcome at the home and appreciated the support the provider and manager gave to them also. The registration certificate was displayed and the service users assessed needs reflected the criteria of the registration. The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9, 10 The service users health personal and social needs are generally set out in a care plan, which further development is required to ensure all of the service users health needs are fully met. The systems in place for medication management protect service users safety and service users and relatives say that privacy and dignity is respected. EVIDENCE: Care plans were in place and mostly reflected the assessed needs, identified from assessments and provided clear direction for staff in how the needs of service users will be met, however the inspector identified some areas which had not been included in the individual service users plan of care. Examples are, where service users are at risk of developing pressure sores, a plan of care is required, which details any special equipment in use, and how staff will support the practice nurse input. A care plan is needed for one service user for special diet and food allergies and for mental health needs. Another regarding preference of dressing requirements highlighted from daily progress notes, which needs to be written into a care plan. The inspector and registered manager discussed the list of topics in standard 3.3 and how these topics should be used as a base line for care planning, this was in relation to The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 issues identified regarding the elimination and continence needs of service users and how this can be monitored for both dependent and independent service users. Care plans were signed by service users or their representative and reviewed monthly. It is recommended that an evaluation summary is included in the care plan, which, outlines progress of service users and reviews their holistic needs. The healthcare needs of service users appear to be well met, service users confirmed prompt attention from staff when not feeling well and access to GP etc. Routine health checks are documented but these would be better separated out into the specific healthcare needs, for example separate record sheets for GP visits, chiropody, hospital appointments etc rather than being grouped together. Details of the reason for the appointment should be documented on the record sheet, to provide easy access and a running history of input and medical issues, rather than having to look back through the daily progress records. Risk assessments and assessment tools were in place for tissue viability, manual handling, nutrition, dependency levels and where service users have specific risks such as use of a mobility scooter, smoking, and wandering. Authorisation sheets are used where service users require bedrails. Continence issues appear to be well managed. Where service users present challenging behaviour care plans are in place. The care plan format could be improved by a running record of history of falls being included. Risk assessments are reviewed monthly. The used term ‘fits’ should be changed to seizure. The systems in place for the management of medication are satisfactory, policies and procedures were in place and the storage system satisfactory. Temperature records are kept of the treatment room and medicines fridge. The medication administration record sheets were found to be completed satisfactorily, although a medication round was not observed at this time. Service users care plans contain information of individuals prescribed medication and reviews and an assessment for the ability to self medicate medicines. One service user is independent in managing her own medication and an appropriate risk assessment and care plan is in place. Evidence was provided of staff training for those authorised to dispense medication. Service users reported that their privacy and dignity is respected at all times and that staff speak to them in a respectful manner. Service users reported that on the whole staff knock prior to entering rooms, however observation on the day witnessed a staff member entering a service users room to collect crockery without knocking. Service users confirmed the facility of a telephone, which is sited in the reception area and confirmed they receive mail unopened. The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15 Service users find that the lifestyle in the home matches their expectations and preferences regarding cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs and they maintain contact with family and friends, are generally helped with making choices and enjoy a varied and nutritional diet. EVIDENCE: An activities co-ordinator is employed 16 hours a week over 5 days and the activities usually provided are bingo, dominoes, cards, games and sing-a longs and the occasional outside artist. The manager reported that the daily activities organised are starting to be more varied an include 1:1 shopping outings and which are documented by the activities co-ordinator and who actually participates, however the record could not be located during the inspection. Social assessments are obtained as part of the initial assessment and the topic had been discussed with service users in a resident relatives meeting held in May 05. Relatives confirmed that they were made welcome when visiting and there was evidence that service users are able to receive visitors in private. There was also evidence of service users using community facilities and being independent within the community. The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 Service users confirmed their autonomy and ability to take control for their own lives within the support framework of the home and care plans and risk assessments. Service users confirmed that they could request alternative meal options should they not like what is offered on the menu. One service user stated that he did not like fish and that lasagne and other food items had been cooked for him an alternative. A menu is provided in each service users room and is devised over a 4-week cycle, however there is no second option offered on the menu, therefore alternatives can only be provided for those service users who are able to advocate for themselves. It is recommended that second options are offered and that staff actually ask service users each day which option they prefer and this be documented. The menu available offers a varied and nutritional diet for service users and service users reported that the quality and quantity of food was satisfactory. The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16, 17, 18 Service users and their relatives are confident about making complaints and feel their rights are respected and that they are protected from abuse. EVIDENCE: A complaints procedure is displayed in the entrance and in the service user guides provided in each service users rooms. Those service users and relatives spoken with confirmed they would feel confident to make a complaint should they have one. They also confirmed that the manager deals with any concerns promptly and that they have never had reason to make a formal complaint. There was one complaint and response recorded. The homes complaints procedure should be further developed to include a template for documenting complaints, response date and include a follow up. Complaints outcomes should identify whether the complaint has been upheld or not upheld or unresolved etc. A service user confirmed that he had used his right to vote. Policies are in place for dealing with abuse, physical intervention and restraint, including use of medication and equipment for restraint such as bedrails. Through discussion it was identified that the manager needs to update her knowledge on the reporting procedures under the Protection of Vulnerable Adults procedures and that there had been no vulnerable adult issues identified. Records of service users finances and monies kept were found to meet the standard.

The Limes, Care Home DS0000008710.V253767.R02.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Rooms were not measured during this inspection however Inspectors observations indicated that communal space is sufficient to meet Service Users needs. At the time of the inspection the home had vacancies and the communal space on the first floor was not being fully used. The location of lounge and dining areas on both floors provide the flexibility to alter the way in which they are used according to Service Users needs. Assisted bathroom and toilet facilities are provided and grab rails and call alarms are sited throughout. Bathrooms and toilets would benefit from some personalisation. The Inspector was informed that all bedrooms are en-suite. The previous inspection report identifies that in addition there are two assisted baths, two toilets and one shower on each of the two floors.
