This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. An inspector visited Tregolls manor Care Home on the 10 August 2006 and spent seven hours at the home. This was a key inspection and an unannounced visit. The purpose of the inspection was to ensure that residents’ needs are properly met, in accordance with good care practices and the laws regulating care homes. The focus was on ensuring that residents’ placements in the home result in good outcomes for them. It was also to gain an update on the progress of compliance to the requirements identified in the last inspection report dated 16/03/06. All of the key standards were inspected. On the day of inspection 23 residents were living in the home, 3 of these were receiving respite care. The methods used to undertake the inspection were to meet with a number of residents, relatives, staff and the deputy manager to gain their views on the services offered by Tregolls Manor Care Home. Records, policies and procedures were examined and the inspector toured the building. Information was also received from the registered manager prior to this inspection in the form of a pre-inspection questionnaire. This report summarises the findings of this inspection. Residents and relatives expressed satisfaction with the care and services provided at the home. Overall the home is providing a good quality of care to the residents placed there. What the service does well:
The home is furbished, decorated and maintained to a very high standard; it is warm, very clean and homely with no unpleasant odours. There are plenty of comfortable areas to sit and relax. The grounds are tidy, safe and attractive with sufficient seating. There is a laundry on site and residents are satisfied with the service provided. There are systems in place to reduce the risk of infection and hand-washing facilities for staff are good. Protective clothing such as gloves and aprons are used. Residents spoken with said they live as they wish and their personal preferences are respected. They said they are happy with the care provided and the staff are very kind and patient. Several residents administer their own medicines and all manage their own finances or have them managed by a representative. Residents said their privacy and dignity are respected and this was observed during the inspection. Residents have their own telephone line to their room and several have large print numbers. There are choices on the menu and plenty of outings to choose from. The home has a Mercedes limousine and a minibus to transport residents into town or on trips out. Tregolls Manor DS0000009142.V299730.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Each resident is assessed prior to admission and an individual care plan is then compiled. Appropriate risk assessments are included. The plans are reviewed every month and any changes recorded. Daily records are kept for each resident and they are informative. There is a suitable policy in place for the administration, storage and disposal of medicines. Each resident has a lockable cabinet in their room. There are robust recruitment procedures in place and the records were in order. Staff are competent in their roles and 75 of care staff are qualified to at least NVQ level 2 in care. Other training takes place as identified during the annual appraisals or supervision sessions. The management team endeavour to ensure that working practices are safe and every effort is made to meet the requirements and recommendations set by the Commission for Social Care Inspection and other statutory bodies. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Care plans require more detail in respect of social, religious and emotional needs. They also require more comprehensive instruction and direction to enable staff to provide the necessary care. When appropriate resident’s sleeping patterns should be recorded in their care plans. Records in respect of medicines must be improved. The amount of medicines received for those self-administering must be recorded to enable checks to be made. Any handwritten details on the medication administration records must be witnessed and signed by two people, this requirement has been notified in a previous report. There were gaps in the administration records; all medicines administered must be signed on the charts as given or a reason for their omission recorded. The moving and handling policy must be reviewed and updated to include the areas discussed at the last inspection.
Tregolls Manor DS0000009142.V299730.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 Training records should be improved with a more comprehensive matrix to ensure compliance with legislation; this may have been addressed but the deputy manager could not access the computer. A sluice with a washer disinfector should be provided for infection control purposes. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.
