What the care home does well

Victoria Court was well maintained internally and externally, and provided a homely environment for the people who live there. Victoria Court provides a good standard of care and support to the people who live there. Residents have a lifestyle agreement, which identified their strengths and needs, identifying the areas where support and assistance was required and ensuring that strengths were maintained to promote independence. Residents were asked to provide information that they would like staff to know about them such as their life history, which included information about their family, previous employment and interests and hobbies. This information gave each resident an identity which supported the staff team in getting to know them and demonstrated that each resident was treated as an individual person with their own knowledge, skills, interests, likes and dislikes. A good range of activities was provided, and the residents` spoke with confirmed this. The meals provided were varied, of a good quality and included two choices at the lunchtime and evening meal. The rapport between staff and residents demonstrated that a positive and caring environment was provided.

What has improved since the last inspection?

All accidents are recorded including the action that was taken. This was a requirement from the last inspection that has now been met. The Quality Assurance systems used at Victoria Court now provide a report of the findings and any action taken. This was a requirement at the previous inspection that has now been met. The activities coordinator hours has been increased to 24 hours a week A new fire alarm system has recently been installed.

What the care home could do better:

As stated above the general care and support provided to residents is good and the only area identified at this inspection that requires action by the registered manager is with regard to the medication practices at Victoria Court. Two areas regarding medication require further development. A photograph identifying each resident must be in place on their individual medicationadministration records, and for all residents that choose to self-administer and retain their own medication, risk assessments must be in place to demonstrate that they have the capacity to do so. Two areas identified that require improvement by the registered provider were with regard to the written complaints policy which must clearly state that all complaints will be responded to within 28 days, and the written Safeguarding Adults policy must be in line with the Derby and Derbyshire`s Local Authority Procedure.

With the passage of time, however, referrals for care have been for people who have become increasingly more dependent and frail. The original culture of the Home has persisted to a degree and all residents occupy single ‘flats’ with en-suite facilities provided rather than ‘bedrooms’. The flats are all equipped with a refrigerator and, in some cases a kettle, so that residents can retain a degree of independence. The Home offers 24 hour staffed care, 3 meals per day, personal laundry and a range of leisure activities and social events. The weekly fees at Victoria Court for October 2006 to March 2007 were: Self Funding Residents Self Funding Residents higher rate Derbyshire County Council £365.00 £385.60 Low rate Medium rate High Rate £308.50 £322.55 £340.10 All council funded residents are requested to pay a third party top up fee of £15.00 per week Victoria Court DS0000020113.V318688.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was an unannounced key inspection, which means that Victoria Court was assessed against all of the key national minimum standards.

Looking at two of the staff’s recruitment and training files to assess the recruitment practices and training provided. Looking at the activities provided for residents and the meals. Looking the medication practices A partial Tour of the building to assess the general maintenance, furnishings, equipment and décor. Looking at the safe working practices of the home Speaking with residents to gather their opinions and views on the service and the standard of care and support provided. Speaking with staff to gather their views on the training and support provided. This site visit also included a thematic enquiry. This consisted of asking a number of standardised questions to a sample of residents. This was part of a national pilot scheme. We informed the registered person and sought the agreement of the resident in advance of asking the questions about the care they receive. The registered manager was not on duty on the day of inspection; therefore the administration assistant was available throughout the inspection to provide the requested documents and information, and the deputy manager was available towards the end of the inspection and provided a guided tour of the building. What the service does well: Victoria Court was well maintained internally and externally, and provided a homely environment for the people who live there. Victoria Court provides a good standard of care and support to the people who live there.

EVIDENCE: The staffing levels at Victoria Court were assessed and were found to be satisfactory to meet the needs of the residents. The numbers of staff on shift were four care staff and one team leader in the mornings, three or four care staff with one team leader in the afternoon, one activity coordinator that worked twenty –four hours over five days and two night staff and a senior sleep-in each night. Additional to care staffing hours were catering cover seven days a week, housekeeping cover seven days a week, laundry assistance and a handyperson. An assessment was made regarding the number of care staff that had achieved a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in care.

Two staff files were looked at to assess the recruitment practices of the service and to look at the training undertaken. All of the required recruitment documents were in place to ensure resident’s safety is maintained and promoted. However it was noted that the employment application forms did not request the applicant’s date of birth. It is recommended that this be included to ensure that full employment histories can be cross referenced against the applicants age, to ensure any gaps in employment history can be identified. The training certificates demonstrated that the staff had undertaken the appropriate training required to meet residents needs, this included mandatory training and training specific to residents needs, such as fire training, food hygiene, food service training, nutrition monitoring, medication administration training, first aid, infection control, positive dementia care, health and safety and adult protection training.
