What has improved since the last inspection?

A copy of the National Institute for Clinical Excellence "Guidance for the Prevention of Falls in Older People" has been acquired for the guidance of care staff and is used in the analysis, risk assessment and prevention of falls in the home. Quality assurance systems have been improved. A report has been written on quality issues and made available to residents` relatives and the CSCI. A questionnaire to asks visiting health and social care professionals about quality of care in the home has been developed and will be used on the next quality survey. Satisfactory action has been taken to ensure that controlled drugs are administered and recorded appropriately, however errors in other medication records are identified.

What the care home could do better:

Action must be taken to ensure that medicines are administered and recorded properly. This will ensure the safety and well being of residents`. The registered persons should make sure that at least 50% of the staff group have an NVQ in care at level 2 or above and the home`s arrangements for dementia training should be reviewed to ensure that staff training needs are met. Care plans for people with dementia should be developed to confirm how their dementia care needs including orientation and stimulation are being met. A separate section in the care plan that addresses dementia care needs would help to provide focus and improve access to information for the benefit of review.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3. Standard 6 is not applicable. New residents are admitted to the home on the basis of a full assessment undertaken by persons with appropriate training. Assessment and admissions procedures put the new resident and their representatives at the centre of decision-making. They are able to visit the home and receive written confirmation that the home is suitable to meet their needs before they move in. This helps them to make an informed choice about the home. EVIDENCE: Reading of the case records confirms that the home uses appropriate assessment and admissions procedures that involve the new resident and their representatives. All new residents have their needs assessed by the placing agency or by senior staff before moving in. They are able to meet with senior staff to discuss how the home would meet their needs and they receive written confirmation as to the suitability before they move in. Westy Hall DS0000027014.V253535.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 10 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 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10. The home’s assessment and care planning systems ensure that residents’ identified and developing needs are met. Risk assessment and prevention of falls procedures make sure that risks of falling are minimised. The home works closely with other health and social care professionals and residents are assured that their health care needs will be addressed. Arrangements for the recording and administration of medication require improvement to ensure the protection of residents. EVIDENCE: The home’s care planning processes are based on good practice. Residents are involved with the development of their care plans and arrangements for care and support are developed according to the individual’s needs, interests and preferences. Risk of falls assessments are in place where required. Discussion with the manager confirmed that guidance provided by the National Institute for Clinical Excellence on the prevention of falls is used to analyse hazards and implement appropriate control measures. Four care plans were read as part of a case tracking exercise. In each case the care plan provides confirmation as to how the respective resident’s needs are being met and includes details of what the resident is able to do for them self. However, there is no section on Westy Hall DS0000027014.V253535.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 that care plan that confirms how the needs of residents with dementia are met and one of the care plans seen would benefit from further development to confirm that alternative arrangements are made when the resident refuses assistance to bathe. See recommendation 1. Records seen and discussion with the manager of a visiting social work team indicated that the home enjoys good working relationships with visiting health and social care professionals. Comment cards from visiting social care professionals indicate that staff demonstrate a clear understanding of residents needs and social workers are satisfied with the overall standard of care provided. Care staff monitor residents’ health and well-being and know what action to take when they are unwell. The home’s medication systems were checked by random sampling. Errors were identified in the administration and recording of medicines. See requirement 1. Inspection of arrangements for the administration of controlled drugs confirmed appropriate recording and administration in accordance with the home’s policies and procedures. There is evidence of good relationships between residents and staff. Care staff carry out their duties in good humour and with respect for residents. Residents express satisfaction with the standard of care indicating that privacy is respected. One resident said that she could not fault the home, she is treated with respect and she has privacy when required but living in someone else’s property affected her dignity. Residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms to help them to identify with the home. Discussion with the manager indicated that the issue of residents identifying with and feeling at home in the home would be addressed in the care planning and review processes. Westy Hall DS0000027014.V253535.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 12 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15.

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.

Westy Hall DS0000027014.V253535.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 13 One of the residents said that the biggest problem they have is having no problems. There are no ongoing problems to sort out and they find they have little to think about, nothing to sort out. Information provide by visiting social workers indicated that they are of the view that care staff need to develop an awareness of residents’ social skills in the interest of capitalising on these and developing the range of activities on offer. The manager advised that this had been identified in discussion with care staff and action is being taken to develop staffs’ awareness and appropriate care plans to meet residents’ needs. All but one of the residents praised the standard of catering and the home’s recent quality assurance survey found that 94 of residents are satisfied with the standard of food. The cook consults residents on an ongoing basis as to the standard of catering in the home. The menu offered a varied and nutritious diet and special dietary needs are catered for.

Visiting social work staff commented on the décor stating that the home is in need of refurbishment and redecorating. Residents are happy with the standard of interior decoration. The manager advised that there are plans to close the home and rebuild in a number of years and therefore CLS are reluctant to redecorate the home in the mean time. The manager confirmed that if standards of interior décor deteriorate remedial action would be taken to maintain satisfactory standards.
