What the care home does well

This home is well managed with a consistent team of staff who have training opportunities to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills to provide appropriate care to meet residents` needs. Comments from residents and relatives who had completed surveys and who were spoken to during the visit were on the whole very positive about the care and accommodation provided. For example, "I am satisfied" and " I am well looked after. It is a caring, clean and friendly environment and a lovely garden. The efficient, willing and friendly staff (of all disciplines) are a credit to the Willows" and ""the senior staff are very good at their jobs and the rest you can see are being very well trained". Resident`s also said, "I don`t think I have made the wrong decision coming here" and "it`s a home from home". Residents made comments, which indicated that they found their rooms comfortable and they had been able to make them more homely with their own personal effects. There is an on-going programme of maintenance and redecoration. Visitors are made welcome and a good rapport between residents, their relatives and staff was observed. A relative commented "you could not want for a more friendlier and caring place".

What has improved since the last inspection?

Various improvements have been made to the accommodation with one of the lounges being redecorated as well as some bedrooms. The car park has been re-gravelled and the garden is being made more secure for residents. The home has improved its rating from environmental health services for the quality of the meals it provides and has been awarded a five star rating. Staff working patterns have been reviewed to ensure better teamwork by delegating more responsibilities to senior staff after appropriate training. There has been more staff training, which has included valuing and respecting individuals different needs and lifestyles.

What the care home could do better:

No matters were raised during this inspection that indicated standards in the home were not being met, however residents would benefit from further improvements in some areas. The manager demonstrated she is aware of areas that do need developing, for instance redecoration of a shared room and provided information as to how this is to be addressed. Whilst staff have a good knowledge of the needs of residents, care plans and risk assessments in some instances need to include more detail about how needs are to be met. This is particularly important information should staff need to refer to it for guidance. Again information was provided to show that this matter has been addressed

This unannounced visit to the home formed part of a main inspection focussing on standards, which have the potential to affect residents’ health and welfare. It lasted six and a half hours. Information that the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) holds such as the history of the service and records of any incidents notified to the CSCI was taken into consideration. Prior to the visit, “Have your say about” surveys were received from six residents. All had been completed with the support of either relatives or staff. Four relatives also returned surveys giving their opinions about the quality of the service. In addition one of the owner/managers, had forwarded an annual quality assurance self-assessment form. This gave important information, which was also used in the planning of the inspection and the compilation of this report. The visit included following the care of four residents with a range of needs through checking their records, and speaking to three of them as one did not wish to meet with us on this occasion. In addition general discussion was held with a relative who was visiting as well as four other residents whose care was not being followed in depth on this occasion. Three staff were interviewed and short periods of observation were spent at various times of staff carrying out their duties. The planning of the visit was carried out initially with one of the owner/managers where it was agreed that general outcomes of the visit would be discussed with the senior staff member on duty at the end of the visit . A follow up telephone discussion was then held with one of the owner/managers after the visit. What the service does well: This home is well managed with a consistent team of staff who have training opportunities to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills to provide appropriate care to meet residents’ needs. Comments from residents and relatives who had completed surveys and who were spoken to during the visit were on the whole very positive about the care and accommodation provided.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 1 & 3. Standard 6 does not apply. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are good systems in place to introduce and assess residents, which ensures their care needs are identified and can be met prior to admission. Information about the home is readily available. EVIDENCE: Since the last inspection visit the statement of purpose and welcome guide has been reviewed to ensure it reflects accurate information about the service. This information was on display and the welcome guide was also seen in a resident’s room. Information contained in these documents include reference to residents being able to practice their preferred religion and lifestyles such as how smoking and alcohol is managed in the home All care records checked demonstrated that an assessment of need had been carried out and this had involved obtaining information via visits to prospective The Willows DS0000002467.V347120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 residents and from other professionals. Care plans had been developed identifying residents assessed needs.

EVIDENCE: All residents’ records checked contained care plans and risk assessments covering matters such as personal hygiene, moving and handling and communication needs. They had been developed in conjunction with residents if able or their relatives and signatures had been obtained to demonstrate this. The Willows DS0000002467.V347120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 They included information about resident’s individual needs such as their particular religious beliefs, their dietary needs and preferences and their preferred lifestyles and routines. Some care plans varied in the amount of detail included, for example a resident who self-administers part of his medication with staff supervision had not been included specifically on the care plan. This matter has since been addressed. That said, staff seen as a group were all aware of the way in which the residents medication needed to be monitored and they explained in detail their role to support the resident to administer his own medication. Those records checked had been reviewed on at least a monthly basis. Staff had a good knowledge of the needs of the residents they were asked about. A relative commented that staff listened and responded to residents’ requests about their preferences for example her relative had asked whether she could have a lock on her bedroom door and this was provided. A resident made the comment indicating they felt “well looked after”. Records and discussion with residents, relatives and staff demonstrated that residents’ health is well monitored. Equipment was seen available around the home such as hoists and wheelchairs to meet residents’ needs. Staff were observed giving out some of the lunchtime medicines and a safe process was followed. In addition storage arrangements were checked and were found to be satisfactory. Staff have training prior to being able to administer medicines. Medication records were well maintained and up to date. Discussion with residents indicated that they felt their privacy and dignity was respected and staff were noticed to be polite and courteous.

There is a social committee held monthly involving staff. Relatives and residents are also welcome to attend although the manager said that residents often chose not to be involved in this. Residents were observed to spend time in the garden and a relative said that staff enabled her relative, who had previously been in the catering industry, to help with the preparation of tables for meals, which she thought made her mother feel valued. A resident’s birthday was also in the process of being celebrated at lunchtime. Staff were aware of the interests of residents who were less well able to communicate them for example a resident who enjoys listening to classical music and this was included as part of her care plan. Most of the residents spoken to on the day described the meals as being “good” to “excellent” and one said that there was always plenty of food and drinks. There is a four weekly set menu any variations to this are recorded. A resident said that you could choose where you ate your meals. One resident said that she likes to sit on her own to have her meals and she was observed to be doing so at lunchtime.

Records checked confirmed that appropriate action had been taken to deal with it and the matter had been resolved. There are a range of policies and procedures in place to ensure that residents are safeguarded. Residents spoken to said that they felt safe at the home and said they would feel comfortable to talk over any problems with staff.

There is an ongoing programme of maintenance and redecoration and there are well established and maintained gardens. Staff said that any necessary maintenance matters are dealt with promptly and the owner/manager was well aware of areas of the home that need attention such as redecoration of a shared room seen and how it is to be redecorated to cause the least disruption to residents whose room it is. It was also noted that an upstairs shower room and toilet did not have a lock or sign to ensure residents privacy when using it. The Willows DS0000002467.V347120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 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 consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 27 - 30 Quality in this outcome area is good.

There are satisfactory staffing arrangements in place to meet the current needs of residents and staff are well trained to ensure they have the knowledge and skills to provide the appropriate care for residents. Residents are as far as possible protected by a thorough staff recruitment process. EVIDENCE: Discussion with staff and the manager confirmed that there had been some changes to staffing arrangements since the last inspection visit. There is no longer a deputy manager. Instead there are four senior staff that take on additional responsibilities to manage the home in the absence of the manager. This is felt to be beneficial for staff development and there were no comments from residents to indicate that this arrangement had affected the quality of care provided. Staff confirmed they only take on extra responsibility after appropriate training. Resident questionnaires identified they felt staff “always” or “usually” received the care and support they needed. A resident commented “I am well looked after. The efficient, willing and friendly staff (of all disciplines) are a credit to the Willows”. Surveys also confirmed that resident’s opinion was that staff The Willows DS0000002467.V347120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 were always or usually available when needed. Relatives described staff as being approachable and felt staff gave the support and care that was expected and agreed. A further comment read “The senior staff are very good at their jobs and the rest you can see are being very well trained”. Staff felt that staffing levels were sufficient to meet the needs of residents and they felt valued and supported. There is a supervision and appraisal system in place and policies on equal opportunities. Rotas checked and staff comments showed that there are normally seven care staff on in the mornings, five in the afternoons and two wakeful staff at night with one on call. Staff were observed for a short period during lunch and a good rapport was noticed between staff and residents. Residents were not rushed to finish their meal and staff responded appropriately to any requests. Records of staff recently employed showed that they had been recruited safely. Satisfactory criminal record bureau checks had been received prior to their employment and all staff follow an induction-training programme when they start work. Staff said that they had a range of training opportunities some which are updated on a regular basis and others which are more specific to meet the needs of residents for example manual handling, first aid, medication, fire training and diabetes. Information supplied prior to the inspection indicated that over 50 of staff have achieved a nationally recognised vocational qualification in care at level 2 or above, which is above minimum standards.

Quality assurance systems in place include two monthly staff meetings and monthly social committee meetings, monthly staff supervision meetings and there is a staff appraisal system in place. The service has also achieved Investors In People, which is a quality award. The manager confirmed that a recent audit had been carried using questionnaires with residents about an aspect of the service and forwarded a copy of the report to the commission. A relative felt that the manager and staff were always available to speak to and that she could comment on the quality of the service provided informally.

Risk assessments were also in place relating to fire safety and the environment. Records were in place demonstrating that maintenance matters are regularly checked and serviced. Residents said they felt safe in the home and a visitor spoken with confirmed that staff listen to comments any suggestions made. There was only one comment as to how the service may be improved from the surveys received and this related to providing a bigger car park, although there are a number of spaces already provided and no problem was encountered with parking on the day of the visit. Another resident spoken to said, “it’s a home form home and I’ve no complaints” Other comments made in relation to what the service does well included, “Everything seems fine”, “they look after the well being of residents”, “performs well in all areas and creates an atmosphere of loving care and concern”. Through discussion the manager demonstrated a positive approach and responded promptly to address any matters raised.
