What the care home does well

The management and staff of the home work hard to promote equality by treating people as individuals with individual choices and needs whilst ensuring that diversity issues such as mobility are appropriately met. Residents and relatives confirmed that care staff are kind and are always responsive to meeting individual`s needs. The manager sees training as a priority and all staff have been supported to maintain regular and updated training in various courses that are appropriate to the work they carry out. It is commendable that the home is working towards obtaining the `Investors in People` (IIP) award and has to date, completed 16 of the 18 workshops that have to be done before an assessment can be carried out to see if the home has achieved `IIP` status. The assessment is due to take place in September 2006. Residents` relatives said that they are always made to feel welcome when visiting the home and confirmed that staff let them know if they have any concerns or worries about their relative. Staff were seen to talk with residents` in a respectful manner and relationships between residents and staff appeared relaxed and friendly. Some of the comments made by residents spoken with during the visit included: * * * * "Staff are good" "We have a good time here" "Food is very good" "Staff look after me well" DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6The Seymour* *"Staff are really good" "Sue (manager) and Mr Patel (owner) are friendly and treat you like a person".

What has improved since the last inspection?

The registered owner and the registered manager had enrolled on various training courses. It is also commendable that the owner is also working towards obtaining the Registered Managers Award. This shows commitment and evidence that staff in the home was benefiting from their leadership and guidance. The owner has spent a lot of money to ensure that the home`s development and maintenance plan continue to be on target to achieve continual improvements to the environment.

The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced visit to the home was conducted on 8 June 2006. Conversations were held with a number of residents, care staff, the manager, the owner and relatives of one resident who were visiting the home at the time. Various records were examined, including care plans and personnel files. Information about the home was also provided in a written questionnaire that had been completed by the manager and a number of questionnaires that residents had completed about the service they receive in the home. This information helped to provide a ‘picture’ of the services available and offered by the home. What the service does well: The management and staff of the home work hard to promote equality by treating people as individuals with individual choices and needs whilst ensuring that diversity issues such as mobility are appropriately met. Residents and relatives confirmed that care staff are kind and are always responsive to meeting individual’s needs. The manager sees training as a priority and all staff have been supported to maintain regular and updated training in various courses that are appropriate to the work they carry out. It is commendable that the home is working towards obtaining the ‘Investors in People’ (IIP) award and has to date, completed 16 of the 18 workshops that have to be done before an assessment can be carried out to see if the home has achieved ‘IIP’ status. The assessment is due to take place in September 2006. Residents’ relatives said that they are always made to feel welcome when visiting the home and confirmed that staff let them know if they have any concerns or worries about their relative.

The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 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 Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 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): 1,2,3,4,5, and 6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Information is available to inform prospective residents and their relatives about the services offered by the home and to help make an informed choice about where to live. Systems are in place to ensure needs can be identified and appropriately met. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection the Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide had been updated to ensure information was current and related to the service(s) offered by the home. This gave the prospective resident and their family an opportunity to make some informed judgements about the home prior to any admission taking place. Files of three residents were examined and these included two residents who had recently been admitted to the home and one resident who had lived at the home since 1998. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Care manager assessments of needs were in place and the home conducted an in-house assessment of needs and these were found to be in place on the two files of the most recently admitted residents. Risk assessments were in place for a number of identified risks. Although both the assessment and risk assessments were good, not all information had been fully completed on both documents. This could lead to some needs not being fully met. Trial visits continue to be offered by the home and on the day of the visit one prospective resident was spending the day to see if the home was appropriate to meet their needs and to see if they liked it. The home did not offer an intermediate care service. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Residents and their families were confident that the home would meet the individual healthcare and personal needs of the people living in the home. However, some further work was needed to care plans and medication procedures used. EVIDENCE: Two care plans were case-tracked during the visit. Care plans had been developed from the information provided and contained within the care management assessment of needs and the home’s own pre-admission assessment of needs. However, plans were inconsistent in their content and did not always clearly explain how staff should meet identified needs. Daily records kept on each resident did not clearly link the care support given to the individual needs identified in the care plan(s). The relative of one resident who had lived in the home for a number of years praised the high standard of care that the home provided and said, “Mum is very well looked after, we couldn’t ask for more. She is always clean and tidy The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 and the staff keep us informed of how she is when we visit or by ‘phone. The staff are kind and considerate, they know each resident in the home and what they need”. Residents and relatives spoken to confirmed that people living in the home were always treated with dignity and respect. The management and staff have developed good relationships with other healthcare providers such as the Elderly Dementia Intervention Team (EDIT), who monitor and assess residents who may be referred to them by the home. This is an area of good practice that demonstrates the importance the home places on the personal welfare and comfort of the residents. The home’s system of medication was examined. Since the last inspection the home had changed the supplying pharmacy. The system used is a Monitored Dosage System (MDS) and staff with the responsibility for administering medication had received training in the new system from the pharmacy. Staff were also undergoing more in-depth training on medication/practices from a training consultant. Medication Administration Records (MAR) were examined and a number of signature errors were noted. Discussion with the member of staff administering medication explained that the new MAR’s were not very clear and this was causing some confusion as to where staff should sign. Examination of the MAR’s did indicate that some errors had occurred from the supplying pharmacy regarding some of the details stated. The manager said that she would contact the pharmacy and ‘work through’ each MAR to ensure details were correct and that residents were not placed at risk of errors occurring because details are incorrect. Some medication that is to be given ‘as and when required’ such as Paracetamol could not easily be checked as no ‘audit trail’ was kept. This could lead to errors occurring and place residents at risk. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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 and 15 Quality in this outcome is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People living in the home are treated as individuals and their likes, dislikes and preferences respected. EVIDENCE: There was evidence that some activities were being provided for residents both individually and as a ‘group’. On the day of the visit and as the inspector arrived at the home a number of residents were going to the local church to attend a ‘bring and buy’ sale. One resident asked a member of staff “Can you please water my plants whilst I’m out – it’s very warm”. This demonstrated that staff supported residents to maintain a lifestyle that meets their individual choices/preferences. Various other activities were available throughout the week although these seem to be limited to the availability of the staff. However, discussion with the manager confirmed that she was hoping to employ an ‘activities organiser’ who would work at least 18 hours per week to support staff and development the programme of activities available in/out of the home. A further area for development is the recording of residents’ daily living activities and their The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 outcomes. Daily records lacked information and detail to provide evidence that residents lead fulfilling lives according to their assessments of need. The home supported and encouraged residents to maintain contact with their relatives and friends and those relatives spoken with during the visit confirmed that they always felt welcome in the home and that staff “always make sure that our mum has everything that she needs”. Residents told the inspector that the standard of the food provided in the home was very good and that choice was always available. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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 the following standard(s): 16,17 and 18 Quality in the outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Systems were in place to ensure that concerns would be addressed in an appropriate manner and that residents would be protected from harm. EVIDENCE: The home maintained appropriate systems for dealing with complaints although no complaints had been received since the last inspection. As previously mentioned in this report residents and relatives, who were spoken to, confirm that staff are always available to listen to any concerns and to keep relatives informed where necessary. Discussion with the manager confirmed most residents used postal votes during the recent Local Government Elections and this was confirmed by a number of residents spoken to. One resident said that two representatives from local parties visited the home canvassing for votes. This demonstrated that the home helped to maintained the individual rights of the person. Robust procedures were in place to ensure that the people living in the home were protected from harm. Since the last inspection the policy had been updated and staff had received training in the protection of vulnerable adults and further training sessions were planned. Staff spoken with clearly understood what the protection of vulnerable adults means and knew how to follow the homes policies and procedures relating to The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 this matter. One member of staff confirmed they would have no hesitation in using the whistle blowing procedure if needed. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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 the following standard(s): 19,20,21,24 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are provided with a suitable and well-maintained environment in which to live. EVIDENCE: Since the inspection conducted in March 2006 one bathroom in the home has been fully refurbished and a new ‘medi-bath’ and shower have been installed. This should make it easier for those residents with limited mobility that may find using a conventional bath difficult. There had been a water leak through the ceiling in the bathroom opposite room 9. The manager said that arrangements had been made for tradesmen to provide quotes for carrying out the repairs. This must be done to ensure the safety of residents who may use that bathroom. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 A number of recommendations were made to the manager during the tour of the premises regarding the renewal of some fixtures and fittings. The pathway around the rear garden was uneven in places where the paving stones had ‘sunk’. As this area is used a lot by residents during the nicer weather these paving stones must be re-laid to ensure that the potential tripping hazard is minimised for the residents. Equipment used in the home had been maintained on a regular basis and the home was found to be clean and hygienic. However, there was evidence that the small wash hand basin provided in the laundry room for staff to wash their hands after dealing with soiled linen was not used. Staff not adhering to procedures relating to control of potential infections could place themselves and residents at risk. Discussion with the manager confirmed that all staff had received training in the control of infection. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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 consider all the above are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. An experienced and knowledgeable team of care staff meets residents’ personal care needs. EVIDENCE: The home’s staffing rota provided evidence that sufficient staff were being deployed to meet the assessed needs of residents. The rotas also identified the hours worked by the registered manager and it is commendable that the ‘First Aider’ and ‘Health & Safety officer’ are identified for each ‘shift’. Staff training is seen as a priority by the proprietor and the registered manager and evidence in the pre-site visit questionnaire provided to CSCI confirms that 19 care staff have attained the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) at Level 2 and four care staff have also attained NVQ Level 3. One personnel file was examined and found to contain the required information relating to pre-employment checks and evidence of training undertaken by individual members of staff. It is commendable that the home is working towards the Investors In People (IPP) Award and has completed 16 of the 18 workshops required before the The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 final inspection of the service is carried out in September 2006 by the IPP assessment board. Staff had completed mandatory health and safety updates in Manual Handling, Food Hygiene and First Aid. In conversation with staff it was evident that they possessed the knowledge, skills and experience to meet the assessed needs of people living in the home. Residents and relatives’ spoken with during the visit also confirmed that staff were skilled and knowledgeable. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,32,33,35,36 and 38 Quality in this area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents and staff were benefiting from the ethos of the home, which was further developing in ensuring a positive and inclusive management style was adopted and maintained. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection was carried out in March 2006 there have been positive improvements in the way in which the home is managed. The registered manager was able to demonstrate that she was providing leadership and guidance to the care staff on a daily basis. This had not only created learning opportunities for staff but has also created a noticeably improved positive and open atmosphere within the home. The Seymour DS0000063622.V298914.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 It is commendable that the provider of the home is currently working towards obtaining the Registered Managers Award and other training specific to the management and care practices carried out in the home. Additionally, the manager had enrolled on numerous courses of study to support her in the management of the home. Evidence was on file that the proprietor carries out regular unannounced visits to the home and produces a report of one of these visits. Residents, visitors and staff confirmed that the proprietor was in the home on a regular basis and was always available to talk to. Satisfaction surveys (questionnaires) had been carried out in 2005 of residents/relatives and other healthcare professionals to gain an indication of the quality of the service being provided by the home. Of those seen during the visit all were very positive about the service offered by the home. Discussion with the manager during the visit confirmed that the proprietor intended to use some ‘extra’ budget to purchase the services of a professional company to carry out a ‘quality survey’ and produce a report that would be available to all. The manager confirmed that the home does not manage the residents’ personal finances. These are handled either by residents’ relatives or their advocates such as solicitors. Staff spoken to during the visit confirmed that one to one supervision took place on a regular basis. The pre-site visit questionnaire completed by the proprietor confirmed that all service records relating to equipment and aids used throughout the home have been regularly serviced. During the visit a member of care staff carried out an ‘unannounced’ fire alarm test. This was carried out proficiently and was responded to well by staff and visitors in the home. This confirmed that the staff and regular visitors to the home had been told about procedures relating to fire protection.
