What the care home does well

The admission procedure is service user focussed and provides opportunities for service user to visit the home and meet with staff prior to admission. Two service users confirmed they did visit the home and have been allowed to bring items of personal furniture into the home. The relatives of three service users also confirmed they had opportunity to visit the home prior to their relative moving in and are able to visit the home at anytime. Service users are overall satisfied with the general care being provided. Comments received from service users included that "staff are wonderful" and "nothing is to much trouble". The relatives of four service users also shared these opinions. There is evidence to demonstrate service users safety is being considered in relation to restricted window openings, radiators being guarded and hot water temperatures regulated close to 43c. The home provides service users with a good standard of accommodation One service users commented they had recently had a private phone line installed into their bedroom. The home has attractive well-maintained gardens that can be used by service users.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has improved the assessment of service users needs prior to admission. The relatives of one-service users commented that staff had been out to visit their relative prior to admission. The inspector noted a significant improvement in staff moral and the overall atmosphere in the home. Service users were relaxed in the company of staff and there was an obvious rapport between staff and service users. Following a requirement made at the last inspection the home has increased the training to staff in dementia awareness and the majority of staff have now completed NVQ level 2 in care. The home has completed the extension to the top floor increasing the number of service users accommodated at the home to 35. The additional four single bedrooms all have en suite facilities. The inspector spoke with three of the service users accommodated in these rooms. Service users were very satisfied with their bedrooms and one-service user commented it was "just what they wanted".

What the care home could do better:

The unannounced inspection has identified fifteen statutory requirements and five recommendations, which clearly identify areas that the home can improve upon. A number of requirements have been made in relation to the need to improve care plans. These requirements are essential to ensure service users are receiving the care they need and that their care is being reviewed on a regular basis. The improvements made in the assessment of service users prior to admission are being has not been developed in comprehensive care plans based on the pre admission assessment. Risk assessment need to be reviewed especially in relation to service users at risk from falls. The home must improve and review the procedures for recording and monitoring medication in the home to ensure it is being correctly administered to service users and any deficits in medication stocks can be quickly identified. The home needs to improve the recreational and leisure activities provided to service users. One service user did comment "there was nothing to do" and that they were bored. The home needs to ensure safe recruitment practices are being followed in the home.

Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The unannounced inspection took place over nine and a half hours. The inspector viewed all areas of the home and met the majority of service users eight care staff and the relatives of four service users. The inspector had the opportunity to interview service users and staff in private. A number of records were examined including five service users care plans, risk assessments, health and safety records and three staff recruitment files. The inspector found two requirements from the last inspection had not been met. Since the last inspection a new manager has been appointed at the home. The inspector was concerned to find that a number of policies and records that had been previously available at the home were not available for inspection. The manager had only been in post for three weeks and had not had time to fully review the policies and procedures in place at the home. It is expected that the number of requirements should reduce significantly at the next inspection. What the service does well: The admission procedure is service user focussed and provides opportunities for service user to visit the home and meet with staff prior to admission. Two service users confirmed they did visit the home and have been allowed to bring items of personal furniture into the home. The relatives of three service users also confirmed they had opportunity to visit the home prior to their relative moving in and are able to visit the home at anytime. Service users are overall satisfied with the general care being provided. Comments received from service users included that “staff are wonderful” and Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 6 “nothing is to much trouble”.

Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 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 standard(s) 3, 4, 5, 5, 6. The home has improved the assessment procedures for the admission of service users but is failing to ensure care plans fully reflect the assessed needs of service users. EVIDENCE: Following a requirement made at the last inspection the home has ensured that service users admitted to the home had a completed assessment of their care needs. The inspector examined the records of the last three service users admitted to the home. The records contained a completed assessment and following admission the home had developed care plans for daily living. However, these care plans did not fully reflect the care needs of the service users. Care plans did not reflect deterioration in the care needs of one-service user and risk assessments had not been completed where service users had been identified at risk from falls prior to admission. It is requirement that care plans are improved to ensure they fully reflect the needs and ensure the safety of the service user. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 Discussion with two service users confirmed the home had provided opportunities to visit the home prior to moving in to meet the staff and view their bedroom. The relatives of three service users also confirmed they had opportunity to visit the home prior to their relative moving in. It was a requirement at the last inspection that care staff receiving training in dementia care. Discussion with staff confirmed additional training had been provided and staff commented that they found this training useful. Observations made during the inspection would demonstrate this training has been beneficial to staff and the care provided to service users. There was a more relaxed atmosphere in the home and staff were more confident on their ability to meet the needs of service users. The home does not provide intermediate care. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 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 standard(s) 7, 8, 9, 10. The home is failing to demonstrate how the needs of service users are being safely met in the home. EVIDENCE: The inspector examined five service users care plans and found they did not reflect the care needs of service users and had not been reviewed in the past month. One care plan examined identified a service user who was in bed required turning every two hours and a fluid chart was to be kept to monitor fluid intake. The inspector found the turning chart did not demonstrate the service user care plan was being followed and they had not been turned for periods up to six hours. There was no record of any fluids being given to the service user, although the inspector was advised drinks are being given regularly throughout the day. Examination of the care plan did not demonstrate why the service user was in bed 24 hours a day. In addition another service user was confined to bed. Discussion with the district nurse confirmed the service users had not required any nursing input since March 2005. It is a requirement that the needs of the service users are reassessed to ensure the care provided is appropriate to their needs. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 One service user whose mobility needs have increased since moving to the home is accommodated on the second floor. Staff have reported difficulty in using the new lift with a wheelchair as the lift is not large enough to accommodate a wheelchair and a member of staff. The care plan does not reflect their changing needs although the manager did confirm the service user had been offered a room on the ground floor. There is improvement in the nutritional risk assessments being completed at the home. Discussion with the district nurse confirmed they visit the home as required. Pressure relief mattresses are in place for reducing the risk of pressure sores to service users. Continence advice is obtained as required. The manager confirmed all service users are registered with the local GP practice and the GP visits the home every Tuesday. Service users were complimentary about the care provide at the home and stated that staff provide good care and were helpful. Discussion with the relatives of four service users confirmed they were very satisfied with the care provided at the home. There was a noticeable change in the atmosphere at the home, staff appeared more at ease in their work and spoke positively about the care they provide. The inspector was concerned to find risk assessments had not been completed following an accident to one-service user. The lack of action on the part of the home could have resulted in injury to other service users and it is a requirement that risk assessments are completed or updated on service users at risk from falling. Examination of the records for administration of controlled drugs found serious deficits in the recording of drugs held at the home. Two entries in the controlled drugs book had not been doubled signed, as good practice requires. A total of twenty-five tablets could not be accounted for and the manager was advised to contact the Police to report the loss. The name of one drug being administered had not been recorded in the drugs book and one drug was not always being administrated as directed. These concerns were brought to the attention of the manger at the time of the inspection to ensure the administration and recording of controlled drugs at the home are immediately improved to reduce any risk to service users. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 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 standard(s) 12, 13 The home needs to ensure service users are provided with regular opportunities for stimulation, leisure and recreational activities. The home does provide opportunities for service users to maintain contact with friends and relatives. EVIDENCE: A recommendation was made at the last inspection that service users should be consulted on what activities they would like provided at the home. Discussion with service users would indicate this recommendation had not been met. Service users commented that there was very little to do during the day. The home has however continued to bring in outside entertainers which service users enjoy watching. The service users care plan did have a section to record social activities but the care plans examined none had been completed. It is recommended that consideration be given to developing a post of activities coordinator to provide more opportunities and choice for service users leisure and recreational past times. One-service users did confirm they have been able to maintain contact with friends and the local community since their admission to the home. This Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 14 contact has mainly been supported by the service users friends and not by staff at the home. The inspector met the relatives of four service users who commented they could visit the home whenever they wished. Service users are able to met visitors in the privacy of their room or in one of the communal areas. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 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. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 16, 18 The home is aware of the need to ensure service users rights and welfare are protected, however the service is failing to record all complaints and their outcomes. EVIDENCE: The home has a complaints procedure that is on display at the entrance to the home. The policy specifies that complaints will be responded to within twentyeight days. Discussion with the relatives of two service users confirmed they were aware of the homes complaints procedures. The Commission has received two complaints about the home since the last inspection. One complaint was not substantiated and the provider is still investigating the second complaint. There was evidence to demonstrate complaints had been received but not all complaints had been recorded. The manager confirmed the home is holding money on behalf of one service user. The manager is in the process of updating the financial records to ensure the system used is robust and clearly demonstrate money being held at the home. Since the last inspection several staff have attended abuse awareness training. Additional training is being provided for the remaining staff over the coming months. Staff were clear about their responsibilities in alerting managers about any concern affecting the welfare of service users. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 16 Policies and procedures are in place to ensure the protection of vulnerable adults. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26. The home is providing service users with a clean and comfortable living environment but needs to improve fire safety arrangements. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection the home has employed a maintenance person who is responsible for minor repairs around the home. The inspector viewed all areas of the home and was concerned to find a number of fire doors were being wedged open. This practice could put service users at risk if a fire was to occur at the home. If doors need to be kept open then the manger should consult with the local fire service ensure the safety of service users. There is however evidence to demonstrate service users safety is being considered in relation to windows in service users bedrooms being fitted with window restrictors to restrict the opening, radiators have been guarded and hot water temperatures are regulation close to 43c. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 18 Service users were very happy with the standard of accommodation at the home. Service users commented they have been able to bring items of personal furnishings to the home and one service user commented they have just had a personal phone line installed in their room. The inspector viewed the majority of service users rooms and found they were all comfortably furnished and had been personalised with photographs and ornaments to reflect the individual taste of the service users. The inspector found one bedroom had been fitted with a Yale lock. This should be removed and replaced with a lock that would allow privacy to the service users and access to staff in the event of an emergency. Locks should also be replaced on bathroom and toilet doors on the ground floor and first floor. This was recommended at the last inspection and it is now a requirement that these locks are replaced with locks that ensures the safety of service users. The homes has the benefit of attractive grounds and gardens and on the day the inspection were being used by service users to meet with relatives and also enjoy the benefits of a warm sunny day. Since the last inspection the home has purchased an additional washing machine. This ensures that service users laundry is returned more promptly to them. Service users commented that the laundry service is “first class” and always returned quickly. A recommendation was made at the last inspection that the plaster and paintwork behind the washing machines should be repaired. This work has not been completed and the increased risk of infection due to the laundry walls not being easily cleanable still remains. It is a requirement that this work is completed within the timescale specified. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 19 Staffing 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 considers Standards 27, 29, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 27, 29. There have been occasions when staffing levels have not been sufficient to meet the needs of service users. The home is failing to demonstrate safe recruitment practices are being followed. EVIDENCE: The inspector examined the rota and found there were normally six staff on duty in the morning and four staff on duty from in the afternoon and early evening till 8.00pm and three staff on duty till 10.00pm. There two waking night staff. Discussion with staff identified that at times there are insufficient staff on duty and that they had raised these concerns with the manager. Discussion with the manager confirmed that there have been occasions when staffing levels have been low but these have mainly been due to staff sickness and holidays and has now taken steps to avoid this happening again. Service users were very positive about staff in the home and commented they were helpful and always busy. The inspector examined the recruitment records of three members of staff. The inspector found only one of the records examined contained all the records required in Schedule 2 of the Care Homes Regulation 2001. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 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 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 31, 37, 38 Record keeping needs to be significantly improved to ensure service users are being safeguarded from risk of fire and injury. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection the home has appointed a new manager. The manager confirmed she has completed the registered managers award and she now needs to make application to CSCI for registration. It was a requirement at the last inspection that records held in the home are accurate and up to date. The inspector found there are still a number of deficits in records being held at the home and records that were available at previous inspection could not be found. This requirement will be carried forward to the next inspection to give the new manger sufficient time to meet the requirement. Orchards (The) D51_D01S50595THEORCHARDSV221009_230605STAGE4.doc Version 1.40 Page 21 The inspector was concerned to finds a number of records were missing or had not been fully completed or reviewed approximately two months before the resignation of the previous manager. This is also reflected in a number of health and safety records held at the home. The inspector found no fire drill had been completed since July 2004 and it is a requirement that a fire drill is completed within seven days. There were no records to demonstrate safety checks on emergency lighting and fire alarms were taking place, although the manager and deputy stated these checks were happening. The home needs to develop risk assessments on the environment paying particular attention to the area where one service user had an accident.
