What the care home does well

Tynefield Court provides a relaxed atmosphere for people to live in. People were encouraged to socialise with each other and maintain contact with family and friends. Those residents who were able, were encouraged to remain as independent as possible and make use of the amenities in the local village. Those people spoken with indicated that they were satisfied with the care and services provided at the home. One resident commented that this was the best home that they had lived in, as they had lived in other homes prior to moving to Tynefield Court. The home provides meals that were varied and provided residents with a choice.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Considerable improvement has been made towards involving residents in assessing, planning and reviewing the care that they receive. People spoken with were aware of their files and confirmed that they had been involved in planning their care. The files provided detailed information for staff on how to meet individual needs. The home has been successful in recruiting additional staff. The manager reported that this has improved continuity of care for residents. Although the manager has started to provide supervision for staff, this has been infrequent. Ongoing work needs to continue in this area

What the care home could do better:

Qualified staff need to improve the standard of medication administration, and ensure that all medication is given as prescribed. The practice of sharing medication must stop. Only a small number of staff were trained to NVQ Level 2 or equivalent. The owner must take action to train care staff to the required level. Staff need to attend training on first aid and continue to attend other mandatory training.

Other residents socialised both in their bedrooms and in communal areas. Residents were encouraged to maintain links with their friends and families, and several residents regularly went out with families. This information was well recorded in the files. The one relative spoken with said that there were no limitations of visits and that the staff always made them welcome. A small number of residents make good use of motorised scooters to access the amenities in the local village. A small number of residents go on holiday with their families. Some residents choose to socialise together both inside and outside the home. Residents commented that there were very few organised activities, although they did enjoy the movement to music sessions. However, residents did not indicate that they would like more activities.

A number of residents require staff support at meal times, and this was provided in a discreet and relaxed manner. A tour of the kitchen was not undertaken as part of this inspection. Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V249894.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 – 21 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 8 – 11 (Older People) are: 18. 19. 20.

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): 18, 19, 20 and 21 (Young Adults) and 8, 9, 10 and 11 (Older People) Residents’ personal and health care needs were met with support and assistance from staff and the multidisciplinary team. Inconsistencies in staff practice around administration and recording of medication potentially placed residents at risk. EVIDENCE: The majority of people living at Tynefield Court require support and assistance with personal care. Residents spoken with confirmed that staff do provide support and assistance when required. Residents did not raise any issues about privacy and dignity during this inspection. Residents were treated as individuals and this was reflected in their appearance.

Continuity of care was provided through the same GP visiting weekly to review residents. One resident stated that in their opinion this GP was very good. Referrals and visits were recorded in the residents files. Staff regularly monitored residents health care needs through the use of risk assessments. These risk assessments were updated regularly, and appropriate action taken. However, residents continence needs were not assessed. Residents weights were monitored on a monthly basis. Although systems were in place for the management of medication, staff used these inconsistently. On a small 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 is not acceptable and must stop. This practice has been noted during previous inspections. Handwritten entries did not always record the full information as recorded on the dispensing label. Efforts were being made to record details the personal wishes of the residents at the time of severe illness or post death, although this information was not in place in all three files examined.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): These standards were not assessed during this inspection. EVIDENCE: Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V249894.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 27 – 30 & 36 (Older People) are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. (OP NMS 29) Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. (OP NMS 28) Service users are supported by an effective staff team.

(OP NMS 36) The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 27, 28, 29 and 30 (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): 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36 (Young Adults) and 27, 28, 29, 30 (Older People) Staffing was adequate to meet the needs of the residents. Continued efforts need to be made to ensure that staff receive adequate training in addition to the induction and foundation training. EVIDENCE: Residents and relatives spoken with considered the staff to be hard working and committed, and were able to meet their needs. The staffing levels were in accordance with the registered numbers and the dependency of the residents admitted to the care home. The duty rota demonstrated that new staff were being supported during their induction shifts by more experienced care staff. Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V249894.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 19 The duty rota demonstrated that the use of agency staff has reduced, and that home recruited additional care staff. This has assisted with continuity of care. There is a requirement to provide a minimum of 50 trained members of staff (NVQ Level 2 or equivalent). This has not been achieved yet, as only three members of care staff have achieved this qualification. New staff were supported to develop their skills and knowledge by working through the induction and foundation programme that meets the specifications. These staff were supported by the college tutor, who visits every two weeks, and by experienced staff working at the home. Other training opportunities were also available. There had been limited ongoing development of supervision for staff. The manager acknowledged that one of the experienced care staff works alongside other care staff, and supervising their practice. Discussion took place with regard to further developing this role and formally recording the supervision sessions. Staff files were not examined during this inspection. The requirement in the previous inspection report is therefore carried forward. Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V249894.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 (Adults 18-65) and Standards 31-34, 37 & 38 (Older People) are: 37.

EVIDENCE: Tynefield Court DS0000002169.V249894.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 21 The manager acknowledged that no further progress has been made with the development of systems for reviewing the quality of care and services provided at the home. The training matrix clearly identified which staff had attended mandatory training and where training was outstanding. Fire training was being provided the week after the inspection. Infection control training had been arranged. However, only a small number of staff have a first aid certificate. The manager reported that this training has yet to be arranged. No progress had been made to meet the outstanding requirement to carry out risk assessments on all radiators and fit guards where necessary. The fire records did not support that the fire alarm was tested on a weekly basis.
