The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3 & 4 (Standard 6 is not applicable) Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents benefit from an assessment process that ensures their needs are identified and confirmed they can be met before moving into the home. Three Gables does not provide intermediate care. EVIDENCE: The Inspector viewed the pre-admission assessments for the two residents who have moved to Three Gables in the last twelve months. For both residents, there was evidence that the home had conducted a thorough assessment of the individual prior to the resident moving into the home. Information from other relevant parties had also been obtained, including where appropriate the latest Care Programme Approach documentation. Three Gables DS0000021271.V323330.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 A review of the subsequent care plans in place for these two individuals provided evidence that the information gathered that the assessment stage is then subsequently used to develop a plan of care. Discussion with management and staff, along with information in the care plans provided evidence that residents and/or their representatives visit the home prior to placement and those residents spoken with as part of the inspection process also confirmed that they had had the opportunity to visit before they moved in. The Providers confirmed that Three Gables still does not provide intermediate care.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 Quality in this outcome area is good.

Residents are further protected by the way medication is managed. EVIDENCE: Staff practices observed throughout the inspection demonstrated a good understanding of the residents and their needs. The interaction between staff and residents was positive and the atmosphere at Three Gables was found to be calm, relaxed and friendly. Discussion with the Providers again highlighted the excellent knowledge and experience they have in managing the care of the people they support. It was clear from observation, talking to residents and staff and from the written material in place, that care and support is provided in a sensitive, dignified and respectful way. All residents spoken with said that staff support Three Gables DS0000021271.V323330.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 them with their personal routines in an appropriate way. During the inspection, staff were observed to be knocking on bedroom doors and talking in a kind and professional manner to residents. A sample of four care plans were viewed and there was evidence that each resident has a plan of care that provides detailed information about their health and welfare needs. Care plans are well maintained and easy to use, with a clear system of including the guidelines and risk assessments developed by external healthcare professionals. Where relevant, copies of the Care Plan Approach reviews were found to be included. Since the last inspection, the home has also developed a quick reference guide to each resident which provides staff with an overview of the daily support each resident requires. All parts of the care plans are reviewed by the Registered Manager on a monthly basis and any changes made are recorded. It was evident from the review notes that any events or incidents during the month are reflected in the appropriate section of the care plan. It is however recommended that the home review the way accident records are stored to consider including this information in care plans. Care plans contain risk assessments for each of the areas identified in the plans of care and it is possible to track the level of risk and the controls in place to minimise any risk. Residents are fully supported with their health care needs and care plans are compiled with a multi-disciplinary approach. A record of any visits or contact with professionals external to the home is maintained. There was evidence of involvement from General Practitioners, Community Psychiatric Nurses, District Nurses, Dentists and Chiropodist. Records demonstrated that residents are regularly weighed and specialist dietary monitoring is put in place where necessary. Since the last inspection the home has introduced nutritional screening assessments which were in place for a number of the residents case tracked. In line with a requirement from the previous inspection, the home has improved its system in place for managing medication within the home. Records were found to be clear and it was possible to track any changes in medication. The Independent Advisor now audits all medication and associated records on a weekly basis. Both staff and management confirmed that only staff who have received appropriate training handle medication.

In addition, one of the Providers is available in a supernumerary capacity. At night, the home is staffed by one waking carer and one person asleep. The home also employs adequate numbers of cooking and domestic staff. All of the feedback received during the inspection process indicated that staffing levels are sufficient for the current range of needs at Three Gables.

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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 36 & 38 Quality in this outcome area is excellent.

EVIDENCE: Three Gables is a family owned and run home and the management team provides two highly skilled and qualified practitioners. The Registered Manager, (who is also one of the Owners) is a Registered General Nurse (RGN), who holds the Registered Managers Award, Advanced Management for Care and a Diploma in Gerontology. The other Proprietor is a Registered Mental Nurse (RMN). Three Gables DS0000021271.V323330.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Both Owners work in the home on a full-time basis. During the week, their hours are supernumerary to the rota and at they each work alternate weekends in a ‘hands-on’ capacity. Staff, visitors and residents again all spoke very highly of both Owners, with one visitor commenting: “[Providers names] operate tightly hands on and have evolved a home from home for their residents”. Since the last inspection, the Independent Advisor has taken on lead responsibility for quality control within the home. This individual showed the Inspector the quality assurance programme that has been developed to audit the home. Areas that are regularly audited include: recruitment, care plans, nutrition, complaints, medication and environment. There was evidence of a robust system of self-audit which is leading to improved outcomes for the people living at Three Gables. In addition to internal audit, the home also now has a formal process for gathering feedback from other stakeholders, with an annual satisfaction survey being sent to residents and relatives. The majority of residents at Three Gables either manage their financial affairs independently or with support from their representatives. For those residents that are supported by the home in this area, a record of incomings and outgoings is maintained and entries backed up with receipts. The documentation of this was found to be satisfactory. In information submitted to the CSCI by the Registered Manager on 20 December 2006, it was evident that Three Gables has various systems in place to ensure the Health and Safety of the home are maintained. The Independent Advisor showed the Inspector the range of updated risk assessments for the home in respect of the Fire and Health and Safety. Other records in respect of health and safety were therefore not inspected on this occasion.
