This inspection was carried out on 6th June 2006.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Good. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector made no statutory requirements on the home as a result of this inspection and there were no outstanding actions from the previous inspection report.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

There is a consistent staff team providing care for residents in a comfortably furnished home which is generally well maintained. There is an on-going training programme in place for staff to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to provide residents with the care they need.Residents commented positively about the care and accommodation that is provided. Staff were referred to in terms of being "good and kind" and residents made comments, which indicated that they felt safe, and knew who to go to if they had a problem. Residents have choices as to how they lead their lives in the home. Staff are committed to providing good care for residents.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The requirement and recommendation made at the time of the last inspection have both received attention. The social, recreational and leisure activities that the home provides has improved since the last inspection. There is a staff member employed who has specific time each week purely for ensuring residents have social and recreational interests and records kept show there are a range of activities, entertainments and leisure interests that residents may participate in if they wish. Residents` views about the quality of the service have been surveyed via the use of a questionnaire since the last inspection and these were positive in the main.

What the care home could do better:

The owners/managers work in a proactive way to address any issues raised and to improve standards. There was discussion about further review of the medication procedure to ensure that records are only completed after medication has been administered. This would ensure that there would be no need to alter the record should residents refuse medication. Mrs Floyd agreed that this change would be implemented.

This unannounced visit to the home was undertaken by one inspector and formed part of a key inspection. It started at 13:20 and lasted four hours. Information already held on file was used to plan the visit and produce this report. This included the pre-inspection questionnaire, records of any incidents that had been notified to the CSCI since the last inspection and correspondence and checking the records that the CSCI keeps in relation to the service history. Have your say questionnaires had been returned to the CSCI from thirteen people, which included comments from some residents and some relatives. A community nurse who was visiting at the time also participated in the inspection. The site visit focussed on key standards and checking whether requirements and recommendations issued at the previous inspection had been addressed. A partial tour of the home was made. This included checking a sample of residents’ bedrooms and bathrooms as well as communal areas of the home, the kitchen and laundry. “Case tracking” was the main method used. This involved checking the care records of three residents with a range of needs and discussion with two of them. One other resident was spoken to on a general basis as in view of their needs they were unable to answer specific questions. Three staff members were spoken with as was the deputy manager who was present throughout the site visit. Observations were also made of staff undertaking aspects of their work including part of the drug administration procedure and a mealtime. The owner/manager, Mrs Floyd was seen briefly at the end of the visit and general feedback was given. A subsequent telephone call was made to her on 14/06/06 for additional information in order to conclude the inspection. What the service does well: There is a consistent staff team providing care for residents in a comfortably furnished home which is generally well maintained. There is an on-going training programme in place for staff to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge and skills to provide residents with the care they need.

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 Standard 6 does not apply. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. The systems in place for the introduction and assessment of resident’s to the home ensure care needs are identified and met. Written information about the home is made available to residents and their representatives. EVIDENCE: All records checked demonstrated that the needs of residents had been properly assessed and planned for. A resident recently admitted to the home commented that she had been able to visit and look around prior to admission. Staff comments indicated they knew the admission procedure, which is generally undertaken by the owner/manager who visits prospective residents either in their own home or in hospital. Information about any resident due to be admitted is given to staff at shift handover times or verbally by the person in charge. Assessment information, care plans and records are available for staff to consult. Records checked also demonstrated that information from The Willows DS0000002467.V298871.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 other care professionals had been obtained as appropriate such as social workers. Comments from staff demonstrated that they had a good knowledge of the needs of residents and how to meet them. Residents confirmed that they received the help and support they needed. The pre-inspection questionnaire confirmed there had been no changes to the homes statement of purpose and that information could be provided in a range of formats if requested. Resident’s records indicated that residents had been given a “welcome pack” which provides information about the home. The majority of surveys completed by residents and relatives indicated that they received sufficient information about the home before moving in, one could not remember, two said their relatives had assisted and one made the comment that “Not really, I was told it was a good home – my son would know”. The Willows DS0000002467.V298871.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 & 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Care plans contain sufficient information to ensure residents’ health and care needs are met and demonstrate the involvement and agreement of residents or their relatives with them. There are satisfactory storage arrangements for medication. The owner/manager has agreed to further review the procedure for recording when medicines have been administered in order to further safeguard residents. Residents’ privacy and dignity is promoted. EVIDENCE: The sample of three residents files case tracked all contained assessment information, care plans and risk assessments. Care plans identified the needs of residents and how to meet them and they contained signatures of residents or their relatives to denote their involvement. They are available for staff to The Willows DS0000002467.V298871.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 refer to and contained signatures demonstrating that staff reviewed care plans on a monthly basis. A community nurse was visiting a number of residents on the day of the site visit. She commented positively about the care that staff provide to residents at the home. She felt that communication between the community nurses, local G.P practice and the home was good and that staff responded well to any advice given in relation to the health needs of residents. For example, in ensuring that residents’ skin was well looked after in order to prevent pressure sores. There are weekly visits from a local G.P who can also be called out if needed. Records of residents being case tracked demonstrated the involvement of other health professionals such as chiropodists and psychiatric services when needed. Every survey completed indicated that residents “always” received the medical support they needed. Part of the lunchtime medication round was checked. Good attention was paid by the person administering medications to ensure the safety of the medicine trolley, medication records were thoroughly checked and the staff member offered appropriate assistance to residents who needed help with taking medication. The medication policy has been reviewed since the last inspection however it was noticed that medication is signed for prior to residents taking medication. This practice needs to be reviewed to ensure no alterations to the record are needed should a resident refuse medication. This matter was discussed with Mrs Floyd. It was acknowledged that this procedure was in place to ensure that staff checked every medicine had been dispensed but agreed to the practice would be reviewed to ensure there was no alterations needed to the record should residents refuse their medication. Medicines are being stored safely. There is a homely remedies protocol in place, which has been agreed by residents G.P’s. If assessed as able, residents can choose to take responsibility for administering their own medication however none of the current residents do so. Staff who administer medication do so only after they have been trained and assessed as competent. Residents made comments that indicated their privacy and dignity is respected at the home. Staff were observed to knock on bedroom doors before entering and it was noticed that one staff member quietly informed another staff member not to enter a resident’s room as she was carrying out a personal care task. Staff had a good knowledge of the needs of residents and a good rapport was noticed with residents.

Surveys completed included comments such as “ I like to sit and listen and sing to the music” and “I go to most of the activities and entertainment” and one that there were always activities arranged by the home that the resident could take part in however they “usually chose not to”. The Willows DS0000002467.V298871.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Other comments from the surveys received indicated that residents have the opportunity to take part in quizzes and games such as dominoes. Records checked corroborated these comments. Staff confirmed that Church services are held in the home from different denominations and residents can attend services held in the local community if they wish. A staff member commented that her national Vocational Qualification award had included training about different religions and antidiscriminatory practice. The pre-inspection questionnaire which had been completed by Mrs Floyd indicated that Equality and diversity training is planned Comments from residents seen on the day of the visit confirmed that they have choices as to how they lead their lives in the home such as times they get up and go to bed.

Residents said that they were able to have visitors when they wished and visitors were observed to come and go during the site visit and have a good rapport with staff. The lunchtime meal was in the process of being served at the start of the visit. It was noticed that staff were available and were assisting residents who needed help to eat their meal appropriately and in a manner, which respected their dignity. There is a choice of breakfast and tea options. The main meal is a set meal however individual personal preferences are incorporated into this. The community nurse confirmed that staff are aware of the importance of good nutrition to resident’s health and also said that she had mentioned to the staff that a resident with a poor appetite had said the only thing she had an appetite for was tinned tomatoes. She had noticed that this was provided for the resident for her lunch. Staff are aware of the individual food preferences of residents and of any special dietary requirements. They confirmed that basic food hygiene training is incorporated as part of their training and records checked confirmed this. Comments from residents and from the completed surveys were generally positive about the meals for example “cooking is very good”, “some things I don’t like but I am given something else”. Discussion with Mrs Floyd after the site visit indicated that a choice of two main meals had been offered in the past however this had not been successful therefore individual preferences were catered for on a daily basis. Mrs Floyd confirmed that since the site visit a record was being kept which noted any alternatives provided to the main meal to demonstrate the range of choice available to residents.

Questionnaires returned prior to the inspection indicated that neither residents nor relatives had had cause to raise concerns but would know how to should the need arise. For example, the following comment was made, “I would voice it to Ellen and my daughter would know the next stage to go to if I wasn’t happy” and “never had need to complain in the 11 years that mother has lived at the Willows”. Comments from residents spoken to at the time of the visit indicated that they knew who was in charge and felt able to talk to staff about any problems.
