What the care home does well

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has improved its written assessments of resident`s needs and their care plans. Staff supervision has been introduced and opportunities for staff training have been developed, including training in adult protection. Nine resident`s bedrooms have been redecorated and 7 have been recarpetted. Access to the garden has been improved. Two bathrooms have been retiled.

What the care home could do better:

Staff who complete assessments for those referred to the home for possible admission need to sign and date the pre admission assessment pro forma. Procedures for the administration of medication to residents need to improve to ensure that residents` medication is administered as prescribed. Whilst the home is pro active in taking steps to engage residents in activities, there is scope to improve this. Individual assessments of leisure, occupational and educational needs have not been completed. It is clear from discussion with staff and residents that the provision of activities can be developed. Areas of the home`s physical environment need to be improved. There are plans to replace communal carpets, which are stained. Items of furniture were found to be in need of replacement. The dining room could be improved, as dining tables and furniture do not match. The home needs to follow the advice of the Environmental Health Department and the Environment Agency so that clinical waste is safely disposed of. The home`s written procedure needs to be updated to show that the home is following this guidance. Improvements are needed in the induction procedures for newly appointed staff so to ensure that staff have been given sufficient guidance and supervision to meet residents` needs. The home needs to ensure that specific records are available at all times as required by the regulations, and that residents` records are securely stored when not in use. The home`s manager needs to apply for registration with the Commission.The quality assurance methods need to be developed to incorporate an audit and an annual development plan.

The atmosphere in the home is friendly and homely. The home is a short drive from the coastline and the local amenities. The home is owned by a single provider and is run with family support. The current weekly fees are £360.01 to £418.60. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The inspection consisted of a tour of the premises, discussions with the owner and two of the senior staff in the home. Two staff were also interviewed. Several residents were spoken to during the visit and two were spoken to in private. Staff were observed interacting with the residents. Polices and procedures were examined. Records, including residents care plans were also looked at as part of the inspection. The home completed an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment and information contained in the document was also used for the inspection. Survey forms were sent to residents and relatives. These were returned by six relatives of residents. What the service does well: Feedback from residents and relatives was positive regarding the care provided by the home’s staff. Comments included the following: • “The home is good at providing care and security in an almost family environment.” • “Dad is always kept clean.” • “The staff are friendly and kind to the residents.” Residents are provided with information about the home and an invitation to look around the home is made in order that residents can make a decision about whether or not to move in. Each potential resident’s needs are assessed by the home to determine if the placement is suitable. Records show that the home liaises with health care professionals regarding residents medical and health needs. Residents and their relatives are provided with a copy of the complaints procedure and are aware of what to do if they have a complaint. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Staff who complete assessments for those referred to the home for possible admission need to sign and date the pre admission assessment pro forma. Procedures for the administration of medication to residents need to improve to ensure that residents’ medication is administered as prescribed. Whilst the home is pro active in taking steps to engage residents in activities, there is scope to improve this. Individual assessments of leisure, occupational and educational needs have not been completed. It is clear from discussion with staff and residents that the provision of activities can be developed. Areas of the home’s physical environment need to be improved. There are plans to replace communal carpets, which are stained. Items of furniture were found to be in need of replacement. The dining room could be improved, as dining tables and furniture do not match. The home needs to follow the advice of the Environmental Health Department and the Environment Agency so that clinical waste is safely disposed of. The home’s written procedure needs to be updated to show that the home is following this guidance. Improvements are needed in the induction procedures for newly appointed staff so to ensure that staff have been given sufficient guidance and supervision to meet residents’ needs. The home needs to ensure that specific records are available at all times as required by the regulations, and that residents’ records are securely stored when not in use. The home’s manager needs to apply for registration with the Commission. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 The quality assurance methods need to be developed to incorporate an audit and an annual development plan.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 3 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are given information about the home and have an opportunity to visit the home to help them decide if it meets their needs. The home assesses each person’s needs before a decision is made to admit the person. EVIDENCE: The home’s Statement of Purpose was seen. This contains details about the service provided by the home including the home’s complaints procedure. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Residents’ relatives confirmed that they have received information about the home. The home completes a pro forma entitled, ‘New Resident Checklist.’ This includes a space for an entry to be made to show that the home’s brochure has been supplied to the new resident. It was noted that this had not been completed for someone recently admitted to the home. The inspector advised that the completion of this would allow the home to check that each person has been supplied with information about the home. A resident described how his/her daughter looked around the home on his/her behalf. The home’s senior staff confirmed that potential residents and their relatives are always invited to look around the home. The process of assessing the needs of those referred to the home for possible admission was examined for two people. A pre admission assessment is completed and recorded by the home. This shows that the home assesses the person’s spiritual and religious needs as well as their personal and health care needs. The assessment pro forma includes space for the staff member carrying out the assessment to record their signature with a date. This section had not been completed for either of the two residents. Where social services fund a placement the home obtains copies of the local authority care manager’s assessment and care plan. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Each person’s health and personal care needs are set out in a plan. Residents’ health care needs are met with the exception that procedures for the administration of medication are poor. Residents are treated with respect and dignity. EVIDENCE: Each resident has various documents that include assessments of need and care plans. There is evidence of residents being involved in their care plans by signing an agreement to its contents. Needs assessments cover the following: • Religion and spiritual needs Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 • • • • • • • • Past medical history Medication Care needs, mobility, weight, hearing and eyesight Washing Dressing Toileting Personality and mental health Appetite A score matrix assessment and a barthel assessment have also been completed for each person. Care plans include a pro forma for life history, moving and handling, daily routines, health, description of client and individual care plan outcome sheets. It was noted that there is a variation in the detail recorded in the care plans. Some of the details do not give sufficient details of the care routines that staff should follow by recording only “dependant” or “needs assistance” for example. For other residents the procedures for staff to follow are in more detail. The home should review the plans to ensure that the details are sufficient for staff to follow. There is evidence of resident’s care plans being reviewed on a regular basis. Records also show that the home liaises with health care professionals for dental care, eyesight, chiropody and hearing. Daily running records show that the home contacts general practitioners when needed. The daily routines section of the care plans show that the home recognises and caters for each person’s specific daily preferences for routines such as getting up and breakfast. Each resident has his or her own bedroom. Residents described the care staff as providing a good standard of care, which was also the view of each of the relatives who completed the Commission survey form. The home’s medication procedures were examined. These were found to be satisfactory with the following exceptions: • Staff had signed a record that a medication had been administered when it had not been. • The previous month’s medication administration records could not be found. • The controlled drug register did not detail the amount of medication that staff should administer and staff had failed to administer the medication as prescribed on four occasions • On one occasion only one staff member had signed the controlled drug register Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 • Written confirmation was not obtained from a general practitioner of a change to a resident’s prescribed medication. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Whilst the home has made attempts to engage residents in activities, this area of the home’s practice needs to improve so that residents receive sufficient stimulation and have opportunities for going out. Residents receive varied and nutritious meals. EVIDENCE: The provision of activities and stimulation for the residents was discussed with the home’s senior care team and with two staff. Residents were also asked about this and feedback was received from residents’ relatives about the subject. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 From discussion with the senior carers and staff it is clear that the home has tried to introduce a number of activities for the residents but that these have been met with a varied response by the residents. These include arts and crafts, trips out, musical movement, a garden fete and film afternoons. The staff and senior carers report that the residents do not wish to join in with many of the activities on offer, or that they don’t like them. For instance, residents are reported to have commented that arts and crafts are orientated for children rather than adults. Music and movement is held every month. A record of activities is maintained which shows that activities are not consistent. One staff member reported that the residents always respond positively to a group crossword puzzle held in the lounge. The inspector raised the feasibility of this being provided more frequently. This is not always possible due to staff availability, but staff thought the activity could be provided more often. One resident stated that he/she would be interested in attending trips out from the home. A relative also commented that the home does not provide enough activities. A survey of resident’s views about activities has not been carried out and individual assessments of social, leisure, occupational and recreational needs have not been completed for each person. It was also clear from discussions, that the staff are motivated to engage residents in activities but are not always sure of what to do. There is scope for the home’s staff to attend training in this area to develop skills in providing activities and stimulation for older persons in residential care. Residents were observed sitting in the lounge and in their rooms reading or watching television. One resident was engaged in completing a puzzle. Several residents were talking to relatives at the time of the inspection. The home’s menu plan is displayed in the dining room and shows a varied, nutritious and balanced diet. Residents are informed of the lunchtime meal in advance and are able to choose an alternative meal. The midday meal consisted of chicken and asparagus pie served with mashed potato, carrots and peas with gravy. Desert was chocolate mousse. Residents commented that they like the food provided by the home. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16 and 18 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents and their relatives are aware of the home’s complaints procedure. Residents are protected from possible abuse. EVIDENCE: The home has not received any complaints in the last 12 months. Relatives state that they know what to do if they have a complaint. The complaints procedure is displayed in the hall and is also contained in the Statement of Purpose, which is supplied to each resident. Staff receive training in adult protection via a distance learning course involving a DVD and questionnaire. The home has its own adult protection procedure for staff to follow should there be any suspected abuse of a resident in the home as well as a copy of the Department of Health booklet, ‘No Secrets.’ The home does not have a copy of the local authority adult protection procedure, which the inspector advised the home to obtain. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25 and 26 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is generally clean but décor and furnishings could be improved so order that the home’s environment promotes the dignity of residents more. EVIDENCE: The communal areas and a number of bedrooms were seen. The home is on one level so allowing those with mobility needs easier access. There is ramped access at the front door and into the home’s gardens. The home is surrounded Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 by trees, lawns, shrubs and flowers, which can be seen from bedroom and communal living areas. There are two lounges both of which are decorated in a homely style. It was noted that in one living room an armchair is worn and another looks unsightly as the seating is wrapped in a black bin liner. Residents were observed using the lounges. There is designated room for staff, residents and visitors to smoke in. The halls are decorated in pastel colours with pictures on the wall. Hall carpets are stained and are due to be replaced. The dining room is decorated in a sunshine yellow with a wallpaper border. Dining room furniture does not match. Each of the 4 dining tables is different and the legs of one table are marked from wear. The dining chairs consist of 4 different styles and include a plastic garden chair, office style chairs and one chair with a damaged leg that had to be removed for safety reasons. A relative reported that one of the dining chairs is not safe. Staff also commented that the quality of the dining room furniture could be greatly improved and that they were not proud of its appearance when showing visitors around the home. Residents’ bedrooms are all single. One resident stated how much she likes her room. Items of personal possession include furniture, books, television, pictures, and so on, reflecting the resident’s personality. Several residents have their own telephone line to their room. The home was found to be clean and there was an absence of any unpleasant odours. It was brought to the attention of the Commission that the home’s method of disposing of clinical waste is by burning, in the garden next to the home. This was referred to the local Environmental Health Department who assessed the procedures at a visit and advised that the home either registers with the Environment Agency as a clinical waste provider, or makes arrangements for the collection of clinical waste by an approved contractor. The home needs to revise its written procedures for the safe disposal of clinical waste incorporating the advice of the Environmental Health Department. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 and 30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are lapses in the home providing sufficient numbers of staff to meet the social and leisure needs of the residents. Whilst staff have opportunities to attend various training courses newly appointed staff do not receive adequate supervision and induction, which has the potential for residents’ needs to be not met. Residents are protected by the home’s recruitment procedures. EVIDENCE: The home aims to provide at least 4 care staff from 8am to 2pm and 3 care staff from 2pm to 10pm. The home’s management state that there are plans for these staffing levels to be increased in the near future with five staff on duty for the 8am to 2pm shift. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The staff rota showed that the intended staffing levels were being achieved with the exception of two periods for the week of the inspection when only 2 staff would be on duty from 2pm to 4pm on day and 2 staff from 4pm to 7pm on another occasion. Evidence showed that this had a direct effect on the availability of staff to engage residents in activities. The home’s management stated that this was the result of staff annual leave. Nighttime staffing consists of 2 ‘waking’ staff from 10pm to 8am the following day. The home also deploys a cook and a kitchen assistant each day. Cleaning staff are also employed for each day of the week. Residents and relatives described the staff as kind, friendly and helpful. One relative did not feel that the nighttime staffing levels are sufficient and another relative stated that the home is sometimes “understaffed.” Two staff described how they enjoy working with the residents. Staff have access to a variety of training courses. The home employs 28 care staff and 8 of these have NVQ level 2 (or above) in care and a further 4 staff are studying for the qualification. Six staff have attended a distance-learning course in dementia. Staff have also received training in moving and handling, medication and first aid. This was confirmed from records and from staff themselves. The process of providing staff with supervision and the induction of newly appointed staff has only been recently addressed. The Commission received an anonymous communication that staff do not receive supervision because they don’t want it. The home’s management has recently introduced formal supervision of staff. A staff member confirmed that she had an ‘induction day’ before working as part of the care staff team. For 3 staff there was no record of the one-day induction for one person, for another person an Induction and Training and Induction Record was partly completed, and for a third person an induction record had no date. The home also needs to review the system of induction that consists of just one day as this may not be sufficient to instruct staff to an adequate standard to meet the residents’ needs especially if they have little prior experience. The home’s staff recruitment procedures were examined. These show the home carries all the necessary checks on newly appointed staff before they commence work in the home. This includes obtaining 2 written references as well as criminal record bureau and protection of vulnerable adults checks. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. 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 and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 36, 37 and 38 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Improvements are needed to the way the home is managed so that residents’ needs are met. The current manager needs to make an application for registration with the Commission. The home needs to develop its quality assurance system in order to make plans for the development of the home. Poor storage of records compromises residents’ confidentiality. The home promotes the health and safety of staff and residents. Warren Residential Lodge DS0000011771.V344903.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 EVIDENCE: There was evidence of a lack of clarity regarding the management arrangements in the home. Staff described how senior carers provide the dayto-day management support but that the decisions are made by the owner’s daughter who intends to apply for registration with the Commission. The home has not had a registered manager since December 2006 and the current manager has not submitted an application for registration, which she states is due to a delay in obtaining a reference. This is being dealt with separately from this report. Staff described the management team as supportive. The home’s quality assurance system was examined. Surveys are given to residents and relatives for comments about the level of satisfaction with the home. These have been given for food and care in the home. Residents are also able to express their views at the residents’ meetings, which are held regularly. It was unclear if an audit of the home has been completed and there is no annual development plan. The home handles the money for 5 residents but records of this were not available. Residents’ individual daily records are left on a table in the smoking room, which is accessed by staff and residents. These records need to be securely stored when not in use for reasons of ensuring confidentiality and adherence to the Data Protection Act. The fire logbook shows that the fire safety equipment is tested in accordance with fire safety standards. Staff receive regular training in fire safety and fire drills are held. The home’s appliances are tested and serviced by suitably qualified persons. Measures are taken to protect residents from possible burns form hot radiators and scalds from hot water. Staff receive training in moving and handling, food hygiene and first aid.
