This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an unannounced inspection and the duration of the visit was approximately 4.5 hours. Discussions were held with two residents and with staff during the inspection. Records such as care plans (as part of the case tracking process, which is used to help determine how the home meets the needs of individual residents) were not examined in depth during this inspection. Other records such as medication records and personal finance records were examined. An assessment was made with respect to the requirements made at the last inspection of this service. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better:
Ongoing efforts need to be made to ensure that staff receive formal supervision on a regular basis. Although staff receive induction and foundation training, the staff team need to be trained to the required level of National Vocational Qualifications.
Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 6 The qualified staff need to improve their practice in relation to the administration of medication. Residents must receive their medication as prescribed. Systems need to be in place to obtain the required supplies of medication for residents, so that medication prescribed for one resident is not used for another resident. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17 (Adults 18-65) and 10, 12, 13 and 15 (Older People) People living at the home were supported as individuals to socialise and access to local community. Friendships and family contacts were encouraged and maintained as appropriate. However, staff practice did not always support that residents were always treated with respect and their dignity upheld.
Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 11 EVIDENCE: Comments from residents and staff and observation during the inspection confirmed that the routines within the home were flexible. Staff were observed providing support and assistance as required, whilst encouraging independence. Residents made good use of the communal areas as well as their bedrooms. Residents stated that generally staff respected their privacy and dignity. However, staff were observed entering a bedroom without knocking, mainly because the member of staff was carrying a tray of hot drinks, and two other staff did not clearly explain to a resident what they were going to do before they did it, ie standing up from the chair and walking to the ensuite. Residents were observed socialising with each other in communal areas and in their bedrooms. Residents spoken with confirmed that visitors were welcome at any time, and that they were encouraged to maintain links with their friends and families. This information was well recorded in the files. Several residents living at Tynefield Court make good use of motorised scooters to access the amenities in the local village. There was evidence to support that in house entertainment was being organised. Those residents spoken with did comment that there were very few organised activities. However, when asked directly what activities they would like, they commented that they were satisfied with the arranged activities and watching the television. The home continues to provide movement to music sessions, and residents commented that they enjoy these. A tour of the kitchen was undertaken as part of this inspection. Catering staff demonstrated good knowledge about individual residents needs and special diets. Records demonstrated that residents were offered a choice and variety of meals, and observation of the mealtime supported this. Levels and storage of food stocks were satisfactory. Environmental Health inspected the home on 20.12.05 and the requirement made in the report had been addressed. Residents made good use of the dining rooms, although a number of residents prefer to stay in their rooms. A number of residents require staff support at meal times. However, it was observed that not all staff provided this in a discreet and relaxed manner. One number of staff was observed assisting two residents at the same time, and referring to residents inappropriately, using terms such as ‘good lad’ and ‘sweetheart’. This was discussed with the person in charge at the time of the inspection. Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 Personal and Healthcare Support

The Commission considers Standards 18, 19 and 20 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 8, 9 and 10 (Older People) the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19 (Adults 18-65) and 8 and 11 (Older People) The home has failed to improve their procedures for administering medication, placing residents at risk of harm. EVIDENCE: Residents files were not looked at in depth during this inspection. A requirement was made in the last inspection report that all residents with an identified need must have a continence assessment completed. A random sample of care plans were looked at, and continence assessments had not been completed for those residents with an identified need. This was discussed with the person in charge, who confirmed that these assessments had not been introduced. It was also noted that residents wishes at the time of severe illness or post death were not always recorded. This has been an outstanding requirement since April 2004.
Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 13 A review of medication was undertaken to assess compliance with the requirements made in the last inspection report. Little progress had been made towards compliance. Although systems were in place for the management of medication, staff used these inconsistently. On a number of occasions medication had been given and not signed for, or signed for and not given. Although systems were in place of checking medication on receipt, this information was not always recorded. The actual amount of medication given for variable doses was not being recorded. It was noted that prescribed medication was being shared. This practice has been noted on the last two inspections, and is not acceptable and must stop. Not all residents had a supply of medication as detailed on the medication chart available in the home. Handwritten entries were not always checked and countered signed by a second member of staff. The dosage of a medication for two different residents had been changed. The GP who authorised this change and the date it occurred had not been recorded on the medication chart. Medication was stored appropriately. Systems were in place for the recording and destruction of medication. However, it was noted that medication had been left with one resident in the dining room, to take when they were ready. Staff must observe residents taking their medication and then sign the medication record, and not leave medication with a resident. Six full sharps containers were present in the treatment room. It was not clear why these had not been disposed off. Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 14 Concerns, Complaints and Protection
The intended outcomes for Standards 22-23 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 16-18 & 35 (Older People) are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on.

People living in the home were protected through staff training and written policies and procedures. EVIDENCE: Those residents spoken with commented that they were able to raise concerns with any member of staff and were confident that any issues would be dealt with. One resident commented that ‘all staff were approachable’ and there were ‘no complaints’. The Commission has not received any complaints about the care and services provided at Tynefield Court since the last inspection. Discussion with several members of staff indicated that they had received training on the protection of vulnerable adults procedure. The required policies and procedures were in place at the time of the last inspection. No referrals have been made through the local authority Protection of Vulnerable Adults procedures since the last inspection. Money was kept in safe keeping for a number of people living at the home. The person in charge at the time of this inspection did not have access to the
Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 15 personal monies. Individual records were maintained, and receipts kept. However, it was not clear from the records whether residents received their personal allowance every two weeks as provided, or in which bank account the money was kept prior to being paid to the resident.

Residents had been encouraged to personalise their bedrooms, with their own
Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 17 furniture and belongings. Residents had access to a number of communal areas, including a separate smoking lounge. Heating within the home has improved, as additional heaters have been sited throughout the building. Equipment was available to assist staff to move and transfer residents. Residents had access to a range of bathing facilities. Separate laundry facilities were provided. No issues about the laundry service were raised during this inspection. The Fire Officer visited the home on 10 January 2006. The report indicated that the majority of the recommendations made in the schedule dated 14th June 2006 had been completed, although some work remained outstanding.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 32, 33, 34 and 36 (Adults 18-65) and 27, 28 and 29 (Older People) Staffing levels were in keeping with the needs of the residents living at the care home. The staff team was not fully trained to ensure that they were competent to fulfil their roles. EVIDENCE: Discussion with residents, staff and the person in charge supported that staffing levels were adequate to meet the needs of the current resident group. The staff group was relatively stable, although there was some turnover of staff, due to staff recruited from overseas returning home. Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V283145.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 19 Discussion with the person in charge indicated that no further progress has been made towards meeting the requirement for 50 of care staff trained to NVQ Level 2 or equivalent.

Care staff confirmed that qualified staff do work alongside them, but that formal supervision sessions do not take place. Staff files were not checked during this inspection. There was a requirement (not time expired) for all required information to be available in staff files. This will be checked at the time of the next inspection.
