What the care home does well

Residents at The Old Haybarn clearly benefit from having an experienced manager and dedicated staff team who are evidently committed to providing a consistent level of care. Staff work closely with residents and have developed a sound understanding of their individual care and support needs. The relaxed, homely and welcoming environment has evolved over many years and reflects the commitment within the staff team and the open and inclusive management style. Residents are encouraged and supported to make decisions about their lives. They are involved and regularly consulted on many aspects of life in the home, including menu planning and activities.

What has improved since the last inspection?

After what has clearly been a very difficult year for some people involved with the Old Haybarn`, it is acknowledged that much time and effort has clearly been spent addressing requirements made and concerns and issues raised, during the previous inspection. Consequently there are no outstanding requirements from the last inspection. Individual care plans have been reviewed and improved and, as required, are now clearly linked to a robust assessment process. Residents have opportunities to participate in all aspects of the running of the home and are supported by staff to do so, subject to risk assessments. Their individual level of participation is documented in their care plan and kept under review. Regular, recorded staff meetings have recently been reinstated. Following personal risk assessments and to ensure the safety of residents, window restrictors have been fitted, where appropriate, to all upper floor windows.

The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key unannounced inspection took place over five and a half hours in August 2007. It found that all of the key National Minimum Standards that were assessed had been met or partially met and the overall quality of care provided was good. Residents observed and spoken with during the inspection expressed satisfaction with the home, the staff and the service provided. The purpose of this inspection was to assess compliance with the requirements of the previous inspection and to generally monitor care practices at the home. On the day of the inspection there were seven residents living at the home. The inspection involved a tour of the premises, observation of working practices, examination of the home’s records and discussion with three residents, three members of staff, the Registered Manager (who is also the Registered Provider.) Responses from a CSCI service users’ survey, regarding their views on the home and quality of care provided, now form part of the inspection process and have also been included in this report. The focus of the inspection was on the quality of life for people who live at the home. What the service does well: Residents at The Old Haybarn clearly benefit from having an experienced manager and dedicated staff team who are evidently committed to providing a consistent level of care. Staff work closely with residents and have developed a sound understanding of their individual care and support needs. The relaxed, homely and welcoming environment has evolved over many years and reflects the commitment within the staff team and the open and inclusive management style. Residents are encouraged and supported to make decisions about their lives. They are involved and regularly consulted on many aspects of life in the home, including menu planning and activities.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. The thorough admission policy and procedure ensures that service users are admitted only on the basis of a full needs assessment, undertaken by people competent to do so. Prospective residents know that the home is able to meet their individual care and support needs. EVIDENCE: Although there have been no residents admitted to The Old Haybarn since the previous inspection, comprehensive information relating to the home is made available to all prospective residents, their relatives and associated care managers. Relevant documentation including an updated Statement of Purpose ‘ and ‘Service User Guide’ was examined and found to be satisfactory. The manager confirmed that the service continues to maintain a good working relationship with the local Community Learning Disability Team (CLDT), who consequently have a sound understanding and awareness of the suitability of the home and the range and quality of the services provided. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 A referral to the home from the CLDT consists of a thorough Social Care Assessment and any additional relevant reports. The manager will also visit the prospective resident and carry out a full pre-admission assessment, including any personal and emotional care and support needs, mobility issues, social and cultural needs and family involvement. Following discussion with the manager, it is recommended that the current recording format be reviewed and amended to form a more structured and concise assessment tool. In addition to establishing whether the individual’s care and support needs can be met within the home, the manager also stressed the importance of ensuring compatibility with existing residents. As well as being invited to visit the home to look around and meet with existing residents and staff, prospective residents have the opportunity to stop overnight before moving in. The manager confirmed that all new residents undergo a flexible trial period at the home, during which time their suitability and compatibility are fully assessed and it is established whether their identified care and support needs are able to be met. In documents that were examined it was evident that individual agreements had been signed and dated by the resident themselves or a relative or representative on their behalf. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 & 9 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents’ care plans enable staff to meet assessed needs in a structured and consistent manner and individual plans, including risk assessments reflect changing support needs. Systems for consultation and participation remain effective and residents are treated with respect and encouraged and enabled to make decisions about their day-to-day living. EVIDENCE: Staff spoken to during the inspection confirmed that, despite the variable and limited verbal communication of certain residents, effective and regular interaction and consultation takes place constantly throughout the home. This was evident from direct observation of staff supporting residents in a professional, sensitive and respectful manner. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The manager confirmed that the individual resident themselves, their key worker and, where appropriate, a relative or representative have the opportunity to be involved in regular care plan reviews. In a sample of the high quality care plans that were examined, it was evident that recent reviews had taken place. Plans were found to be comprehensive and linked to the individual’s current assessments, containing detailed guidance for staff on how to meet their care and support needs in a structured and consistent manner. Independence and individuality is evidently encouraged and promoted within the home and is reflected in the personalising of residents’ rooms, the choice of bedclothes and colour schemes and individual preferences for occupational and leisure activities. This was confirmed by residents, spoken with during the inspection: ‘I chose the colours for my room and my duvet cover and curtains’. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents are enabled and supported to maintain contact with family and friends as they wish and effective links with the community enrich their social and educational opportunities. Residents benefit from generally appropriate recreational and leisure activities and menus that are balanced and nutritious, reflecting their individual likes and preferences. EVIDENCE: The recreational and leisure interests of residents are identified and recorded in their individual care plan and they continue to be supported to access activities and facilities, reflecting their individual needs and abilities. A weekly activities programme has been developed and implemented for each resident and a copy is contained in their individual care plan. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 A day care facility, situated on the site, opens every day and occasional evenings, providing recreational and leisure activities such as table tennis and pool. Trips out are organised for weekends and evenings and a supported annual holiday is provided for those who choose to go. Community participation remains a focus in the home and residents are evidently encouraged and supported to visit the cinema, theatre, local shops and other amenities. The manager confirmed that, where appropriate, residents’ family links are encouraged and supported, however not all service users have regular family contact. Visiting to the home is largely unrestricted and relatives and friends are made welcome at any reasonable time. Menus examined were found to be varied and balanced and are evidently based on residents’ identified likes and preferences. An alternative to the main meal is always available. Residents spoken with during the inspection expressed satisfaction with the standard and variety of meals provided: ‘The food here is very good – I like it anyway’. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18, 19 & 20 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. Staff have developed close and positive relationships with residents and demonstrate an awareness and sound understanding of their individual care and support needs. Residents are protected by clear and comprehensive policies and procedures in place for the control and safe administration of medication. EVIDENCE: The manager emphasised the importance of staff developing close working relationships with individual residents and being aware of changes in mood or behaviour. Documentary evidence was in place to demonstrate that the health and emotional care needs of individual residents are continuing to be met within the home. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 In accordance with their care plan, residents are fully supported and enabled, as far as practicable, to exercise control over their lives and maintain maximum levels of independence and individuality. During the inspection, staff were observed interacting with residents in a professional and respectful manner. All residents are registered with local GPs and have access to other health care professionals, including district nurses, physiotherapists and dentists, as required. It was evident, in care plans that were examined, that all appointments with, or visits by, health care professionals are appropriately recorded. Up to date, detailed policies and procedures relating to the control, storage, administration and recording of medication are in place. Medicines are stored and recorded appropriately. All staff responsible for administering medication have received training and are individually assessed and authorised to do so. The manager confirmed that, following risk assessments, no resident currently self-administers their own medication. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. The home’s complaints procedure ensures that residents, staff and visitors feel able to express any concerns, confident that they will be listened to and acted upon. Residents are protected, through policies and procedures relating to abuse and adult protection. EVIDENCE: A clear, simple and concise complaints procedure has been developed. All complaints are recorded and include actions taken and outcomes achieved. Close working relationships, effective and ongoing communication and consultation and regular residents’ meetings provide adequate opportunities for any concerns to be raised and discussed, before they become complaints. Residents and members of staff, spoken with during the inspection, confirmed that they would have no hesitation in speaking to the manager or making a complaint if necessary and each person was confident that they would be listened to: ‘She (the manager) is very approachable and always makes time for you and is always ready to listen’. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 It was noted that there have been no concerns or complaints recorded by the home since the last inspection. The home has produced detailed policies and procedures, recently reviewed, relating to adult protection and abuse, including a whistle blowing policy. These documents have evidently been drawn up in accordance with the multi agency guidelines for the protection of vulnerable adults (Safeguarding adults). The manager confirmed that all care staff have undertaken appropriate training regarding abuse awareness and adult protection procedures. This was supported through discussions with members of staff during the inspection and evidenced through individual training records. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24, 25, 26, 28 & 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. The service is accessible, safe and clean and remains clearly suitable for it’s stated purpose. Residents benefit from pleasant accommodation that is comfortable, generally well maintained and decorated to a satisfactory standard. EVIDENCE: During my ‘guided tour’ of the premises it was evident that the well maintained décor and adequate furniture and furnishings continue to provide a comfortable, pleasant and homely environment for residents. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The manager confirmed that independence and individuality continue to be promoted within the home and this is evident from the personalising of residents’ rooms, reflecting individual preference and interests. It was noted that infection control policies and procedures are in place and clearly adhered to. Residents and their key workers are responsible for keeping bedrooms clean and tidy and on the day of the inspection, levels of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the home were found to be satisfactory The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. There is always sufficient trained and competent staff on duty to meet the assessed needs of the residents. Residents are protected by satisfactory staff recruitment policies, procedures and documentation. EVIDENCE: Through discussion with the manager, care staff and service users, it is evident that sufficient staff are employed to meet the current assessed support needs of residents and to ensure consistency and continuity of care. The manager confirmed that staffing levels are closely monitored and are directly linked to the residents’ identified levels of dependency. A duty rota has been developed and implemented to detail the staff on duty at any given time and their designation. The Old Haybarn DS0000044188.V346261.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Appropriate core skills training is provided, including first aid, moving and handling, food hygiene and fire safety. This was confirmed through discussions with staff and evidenced by training records examined: ‘There is always plenty of opportunity for training here’. The manager confirmed that records of individual staff training are updated monthly and are kept in their personal file. Formal and structured staff supervision is provided on a regular basis and is appropriately recorded. The manager is clearly aware of the need for thorough and robust recruitment procedures, to ensure the protection of residents. Individual files that were examined, relating to recently appointed members of staff, were found to be well maintained, containing all relevant and necessary information, including two satisfactory references, proof of identity and satisfactory Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) and Protection of Vulnerable Adults (POVA) disclosures.

Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37, 39 & 42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence, including a visit to this service. Residents benefit from a competent and experienced manager. They are protected by satisfactory health and safety procedures and their best interests are safeguarded by effective quality monitoring systems. EVIDENCE: The experienced manager, who is also owner of the home demonstrated a high level of awareness and understanding of the residents at the Old Haybarn and was able to discuss in detail individuals’ current and ongoing care and support needs.
