Two other residents now have college placements and spoke enthusiastically about their college work and what they would like to do next. Other residents said that they had enjoyed the good summer weather, which meant they were able to get out more. They had visited numerous places of interest, including
Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 the Spitfire Museum, a bird park, Howlett’s Zoo, the Chinese Circus and the Monkey rain forest. The home is very good at helping the residents to maintain family contact. A wide variety of communication methods are used from texting and e-mail to telephone contact. Relatives said that they are made very welcome to the home and can visit at any reasonable time. Many of the residents have severe communication difficulties but staff at the home were observed to be very good at establishing the wishes of the residents. The home is very good at finding out about communication aids and working with the local HNS speech and language therapist. The home employs a physiotherapy assistant.

Lunchtime on the day of inspection provided a good opportunity to sit and talk with the residents and to sample the meal. The food was well presented and tasty. The dining area is pleasant and calm. Staff were indirectly observed to give assistance with meals in a discreet and unobtrusive way. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support

Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Concerns, Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 22 & 23 The quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement is based on evidence gathered both before and during this visit. The home has sound policies and procedures of the handling of concerns and complaints, and for the protection of vulnerable adults. The staff are well aware of these and this protects the residents from harm. EVIDENCE: Residents said that they know they can talk to the staff or the manager if they have any concerns. No one has had cause to make a formal complaint since the last inspection. Some residents said that they did not think that they would ever have to make a formal complaint as day-to-day concerns are dealt with as they arise. There is a rolling, structured induction programme for all staff within the MNP group. This includes a module on the Protection of Vulnerable Adults. There are further training sessions to update staff. All staff, including the housekeeping and maintenance staff, have attended at least one session of adult protection training. The staff interviewed during this visit were all clear about their responsibilities to report any concerns and said that they would not hesitate to do so. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Environment
The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): The quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement is based on evidence gathered both before and during this visit. The standard of the environment in the home is very good. It provides the residents with an attractive and homely place to live. The layout and specialised equipment promotes the independence of the residents. EVIDENCE: A tour of the home was undertaken. The home is tastefully decorated and since the last inspection there has been further redecoration. The large lounge/dining room and wide hallways allow for good wheelchair access. There is a large shaft lift and there are ramps to both the front and rear gardens. The bathroom and shower room have both been decorated in bright colours and the use of stencils and pictures has made these areas much more attractive. Residents say they now enjoy using the shower room more. The rear garden is flat and safe with some raised flowerbeds. Unoccupied rooms are redecorated prior to the admission of a new resident. One of the new residents was proud to show off her room and said that she
Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 had chosen the colours and the stencil pattern. All rooms have individual colour and décor styles. The residents said that they choose their own soft furnishings and colour schemes and decide how to arrange their furniture. All rooms are tasteful and well furnished. Since the last inspection a staff training room has been provided on the top floor of the home. The main administrative office is also on this floor. This office would now benefit from refurbishment to bring it in line with the very high standard of décor throughout the other two floors of the home. Due to the high dependency needs of the residents a significant amount of specialist, enabling equipment such as electric mobility scooters and wheelchairs, specialist communication equipment, continence aids and bracing appliances such as neck collars and head pointers, is needed. All equipment is very well maintained and specialist firms visit regularly to service much of the equipment. Despite the considerable amount of specialist equipment, it is arranged well and storage is discrete. This means that the home maintains a comfortable and spacious feel. All areas of the home were very clean, tidy and free from offensive odours on the day of inspection. However, the laundry room is quite small and difficult for staff to work in. The registered manager said that they are currently thinking of ways in which they can improve this area to safeguard infection control and make it easier to sort the laundry. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Staffing
The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): The quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement is based on evidence gathered both before and during this visit. There is well-trained and enthusiastic workforce that positively promotes improvement in the quality of life of the residents. EVIDENCE: Staff said they are clear about their roles and responsibilities. They spoke enthusiastically about their work in the home and about the way they support the residents to achieve their goals. There is an excellent training matrix and a high level of staff training is undertaken. Staff said that they appreciate the amount of training. In addition to all mandatory training, the home achieves a very good level of specialist training. It accesses a number of organisations to provide this training as well as using in-house expertise. The recent list of specialist training includes; Loss and Bereavement (KCTA training); Stroke awareness (Stroke Association); Catheter awareness (MNP); Medication (Judith East, pharmacist; Continence management (Continence adviser); and Dysphasia (Belinda Walker, Speech and language therapist). The home is commended for providing such a good level of specialist training. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The home already has achieved a good level of staff holding level II and III NVQs and three more members of staff have just embarked on NVQ III. Staff said that there are regular staff meetings and that they have both annual appraisals and regular one-to-one supervision. Since the last inspection a training room has been provided on the top floor of the home. This has made it easier to arrange regular training sessions and to invite specialist trainers. The home is centrally situated and staff from other homes in the group come to these sessions. This gives all staff in the group a chance to meet up with each other and exchange ideas. It also means that it is viable to run a rolling induction programme. An induction session is held every Tuesday afternoon. The registered managers in the group take it in turn to lead these sessions and one was in progress on the day of inspection. There is a very stable workforce and no agency staff has been needed as staff work together to cover annual leave. Sickness levels and staff turnover are low and staff moral is high. Examination of a sample of staff files showed that all appropriate preemployment checks have been made. Since the last inspection the company has completely revised its recruitment policies and procedures. The company has now centralised its recruitment procedures. This means that there is greater consistency throughout the homes in the group and that there are greater safeguards in place. An administrator carries out the initial checks. She ensures that the application form is completed correctly, makes requests for references and CRB checks and checks the references against information given on the application form. She then ensures that the candidate is available to work the required shifts. Once these initial checks are complete, the complete application pack is forwarded to the manager of the home. The manager then makes a decision about whether to interview the candidate and whether to offer employment. This means that the manager is freed from routine paperwork and can concentrate fully on the suitability of the candidate for the post. The final decision to appoint rests with manager or registered person. The home is commended for this excellent recruitment practice that protects the residents from unsuitable staff. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Conduct and Management of the Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): The quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement is based on evidence gained both before and during this visit. The home is well managed and the views of the residents are taken into consideration when decisions are made about the running of the home. This means that residents can be confident that the home is run in their best interests. EVIDENCE: Mrs Harrington, the registered manger has many years experience in working at all levels in care homes. She has managed the home for over two years. Prior to he appointment as manager she was deputy in the home for eight years. This means that she knows the home and the residents very well indeed. She holds the NVQ IV in Management and Care and has retained her registration with the NMC and maintains her continuing professional development. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 In depth discussion about the management of the home took place with the manager, Mrs Lorraine Harrington and her deputy, Mrs Elizabeth Rowe. Both have good experience in care, a good understanding of best care practice and have maintained their development portfolios. Conversation with Lorraine showed that she has extensive knowledge of the specialist needs of the residents. She relates well to the residents, their supporters and her. She holds a budget for the home and said that this is sufficient to be able to purchase for day-to-day needs and general maintenance. Staff said that they like working at the home and respect Lorraine for her fairness and ability as manager of the home. Staff were very positive in expressing their views about both Lorraine and Liz. They said that they valued their leadership and felt that the home is well organised. They feel that their views are listened to and acted upon when appropriate. The registered providers submit regular reports about the running of the home to the CSCI, in accordance with regulation 26 of the Care Standards Act. They are commended for the high standard of these reports. Tristford DS0000023615.V299319.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
