What the care home does well

The home provides a warm, clean, homely environment that is well maintained and safe for residents, staff and visitors. There is an ongoing programme of redecoration and refurbishment, which has improved the general appearance of the home; several carpets and curtains have been replaced since the last inspection. A housekeeper has been employed to ensure the home is clean and pleasing at all times. Personal clothing is washed on site but bed linen and towels are sent out to the laundry. To reduce the risk of infection liquid soap and paper towels are provided for staff along with protective clothing such as plastic gloves and aprons. The home`s statement of purpose and resident`s guide help prospective residents and their families have an informed choice as to whether the home is suitable for their needs. A relative stated that the information provided by the home, both written and oral, was excellent. The care provided is to a high standard and residents are only admitted following a full assessment to ensure the home can meet their needs. Residents said their care needs are met and they are happy living in the home. They said the staff are kind and very caring. Visitors said they are impressed by the professional approach of all staff in the home. Residents have an individual care plan that is drawn up with them or their representative; it is reviewed monthly and is accessible to the resident on request. Health specialists are involved when necessary and the home has equipment for the prevention of pressure sores and for staff to move residents safely. Staff are trained in the use of this equipment. There is an appropriate medicines policy and systems in place for the storage, administration and disposal of medicines. Only qualified nurses administer the medicines and a pharmacist visits the home regularly. The home has an activities co-ordinator. Although there was no activities programme residents and staff said that activities take place in the home and records were kept. There were activities going on during the inspection. Friends and family are welcome in the home and residents can go out according to their wishes and ability. Several residents had visitors during the inspection. Residents said the food was good and that drinks and snacks are available between meals. Although the menu is a set one there are alternatives available every day. There is a dining space but some residents choose to eat in their own room. There are two qualified nurses on duty at all times and sufficient care staff to look after for the residents living in the home. Residents said there are sufficient staff and they are always willing to help. Staff were observed to interact well with residents in a very kind, relaxed manner.

She supervises the staff and both staff and residents said they could air their views at any time.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The environment continues to improve, new carpets and curtains have been provided in several rooms. The curtain screens in shared rooms have been replaced and look much better. Staff said the improvements are wonderful for the residents but it also makes a much more pleasant environment to work in. The employment of a housekeeper makes sure the home is clean and welcoming with finishing touches such as net curtains and flowers. Individual residents have been risk assessed as to the appropriateness of providing a key to their room. This has been documented and held with their care plan. Staff supervision arrangements have improved and annual appraisals have been undertaken for most staff. A number of the homes policies and procedures have been reviewed and updated. Relatives have been asked to compile life histories for individual residents; this provides very useful information for staff enabling them to care for residents in a manner that respects their lifestyle. Staffing numbers and skill mix have been improved by robust recruitment and training of staff. The less mobile residents are now upstairs which means that those who like to walk around can do so more freely and safely. The staffing has been adjusted to cope with these changes.

Tregenna House D52-D04 S9261 Tregenna House V215851 120505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 7 What they could do better: The home will benefit when the remaining policies and procedures have been reviewed and updated. The home must implement a safekeeping policy and procedure that guides and informs staff on the safekeeping of residents money and valuables, staff must be made aware of this policy. There should be a form for the resident or their representative to sign to agree to the home handling their money. All care plans should be reviewed regularly and signed by the staff member involved. The handwriting of medicines onto the medicine administration charts must be witnessed with two signatures recorded. The medicine fridge temperature should be recorded regularly with the records maintained available for inspection. Medicines prescribed for a specific resident must not be administered to other residents; this is in particular reference to bottles of liquid medication. It is recommended that there be a blood glucose monitoring machine for each diabetic resident and that there be a system in place for the cleaning of these with records kept. This will reduce the risk of infection and help the machines work effectively. It is recommended that a book of attendance be implemented for residents joining in the activities in the home. This will show more easily how many attend and how effective the programme is. The Adult Protection policy must be reviewed and updated as previously required. Doors marked “keep locked” must be locked at all times, two cupboard doors were unlocked during the inspection. There need to be individual hoist slings for residents with records kept of the laundering arrangements. Hand-washing facilities for staff were good but the use of alcohol gel would be a further safeguard to reduce the risk of cross infection. Some pedal bins around the home were not working and need replacing and a new chair is needed for the bath hoist in the extension for infection control purposes. The home would benefit from the provision of a second tumble drier. The pre-employment health questionnaire should be more comprehensive; this has been looked into and will be sorted soon. The Registered Manager should have an annual appraisal to discuss and address her role, her professional development and training needs. There should be a policy in place for the supervision of staff.

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 and 9 Each resident has an individual care plan setting out their health, personal and social care needs; these are detailed to guide and direct the staff providing care. Residents have access to health care services as necessary to ensure their assessed needs are met. There are suitable policies in place for dealing with resident’s medicines, however the recording procedures need some minor improvement to safeguard residents from the risk of harm.

A pharmacist visits the home regularly and gives advice to the staff. It is recommended that there be a blood glucose monitoring machine for each diabetic resident and that there be a system in place for the cleaning of these with records kept.
