What the care home does well

Service users undertake a comprehensive assessment of need before being admitted to the home. Service users are admitted on a trial basis to enable them to settle in and ascertain if the home is able to meet their needs on an ongoing basis. Service users receive the health care they require. Service users privacy and dignity is respected by staff working in the home. The home employs two activity co-ordinators and service users benefit from a comprehensive programme both in and outside the home. Service users are able to bring their own possessions and mementos into the home. Adult protection training is in place to safeguard the wellbeing of service users. Staff are provided with a comprehensive training programme and 90% of care staff working in the home have attained an NVQ 2 or above qualification in care.The home operates a key worker system to support service users living in the home. There are sound procedures in place for staff to follow when handling service users` money.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Requirements made at the time of the previous inspection in relation to maintenance of the building have been addressed. A requirement was made at the time of the previous inspection that monthly reports written by a representative of KCHT following each visit should be forwarded to the CSCI. This now takes place on a regular basis.

What the care home could do better:

Service users` care plans need to be completed in more detail to enable staff to meet service users needs. Some issues arose with regards to the recording of medication administered. Menus should include more detail to avoid repetition. Action must be taken to eradicate the smell of urine apparent in some parts of the home. An audit should be undertaken in relation to each room as some furniture and furnishings are particularly worn and in need of replacement. The current laundry is very outdated and must be updated to comply with Department of Health guidelines. The home must contact the fire department to insure that new bedroom doors meet fire safety regulations. A requirement made at the time of the previous inspection that staff records should contain relevant documents in relation to recruitment is still outstanding. It is necessary for KCHT to make an application to the CSCI for the manager to be registered.

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.

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 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are only admitted to the home following a comprehensive assessment of need. EVIDENCE: The acting manager was able to provide comprehensive documentation from health and social care professionals in relation to the admission of a prospective service user to the home. The Manager stated it was not always possible for service users to visit the home prior to admission due to the level of the individuals dementia, however service users relatives or advocates were able to do so, this was confirmed by a relative that the inspector spoke with. Letters are sent to all prospective service users or their representatives indicating that following the assessment the home is able to meet their needs prior to admission. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The manager stated that all service users are admitted on a trial basis to enable service users to settle in and to ascertain if the home is able to meet service users needs on an ongoing basis.

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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users’ care plans need to be updated in response to changes in their health or needs. Service users’ privacy and dignity is respected by staff working in the home. EVIDENCE: Records pertaining to a prospective service user and two additional care plans were examined. The acting manager stated she was currently monitoring staff practice in relation to completing care plans. The sample seen included key information regarding service users and relevant risk assessments and moving and handling assessments had also been undertaken. There was evidence of routine reviews taking place and this was confirmed by a relative spoken with, however in the sample seen staff had not updated the care plan to include action to be taken by staff in relation to a service user who was experiencing frequent urinary tract infections. The acting manager stated this would be addressed. A requirement was made at the time of the previous inspection that service users should be given the opportunity to register with a GP of their choice. The Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 acting manager stated that in theory this was possible, however in practise they had been unable to find GPs prepared to take on additional patients and therefore the Primary Care Trust has had to allocate a practise for the home. Current service users will continue to receive a service from this practise, however the manager stated that new service users would be able to retain a service from the GP they had previous to moving into the home. The GP who completed a CSCI comment card stated staff worked in partnership with the practise and he was satisfied with the overall running of the home. The storage, recording and administration of medication were examined. Medication was found to be stored securely. Some issues arose in relation to the recording of medication; staff had hand written additional entries to the MAR sheet however the sample seen had not been dated or signed by the staff member responsible. Discussion took place with staff assisting with the inspection regarding the need for hand written entries to be signed by two members of staff to reduce the risk of error. On one MAR sheet seen a member of staff had amended the quantity of medication prescribed by the GP. Staff stated this would have only happened when directed by the GP to do so however, it was not possible for staff to provide written evidence of this. From discussion with staff and records seen it is apparent that staff have sound procedures in place to monitor Wafrian prescribed to one service user. Service users the inspectors met with appeared relaxed and comfortable. Good interaction was seen between staff and service users. Staff addressed service users by their preferred name, and spoke with them in a respectful manner. Staff were seen to respect the service users privacy and dignity when assisting with personal care. All of the relatives who completed comment cards stated they were satisfied with the overall care provided. Relatives felt they were kept informed of important matters concerning service users. One service user told the inspector he was happy and had every thing he needed. A relative spoke highly of staff and the patience they exhibited in caring for service users who have dementia. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15 Quality in this outcome area is excellent.

It is apparent that service users have access to a wide range of activities. Some of these take place in house such as art and crafts, board games and music and movement however others take place outside and staff assist service users to attend a local drop in centre for older people in the community. Staff have recently won a KCHT award for the work in helping service users to use the Internet to trace their family trees. The activity co-ordinator stated that they make the most of annual celebrations and in addition to traditional festivals such as Christmas and Easter other events are also arranged for example a local Irish dancing school had been asked to dance in the home on Saint Patricks Day. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 There were lots of photographs of activities displayed in communal areas to remind everyone of events that had taken place. Activities are also arranged to include service users friends and relatives. A relative spoken with confirmed this. The home benefits from having a visitors room appropriately equipped for the purpose and there is also a small telephone room to enable service users to make and receive calls in private. A relative spoken with stated she and her family are always made to feel welcome in the home. It was apparent from discussion with staff and from practice seen that staff endeavour to maximise service users personal choice and autonomy, for example asking service users where they wished to sit and enquiring about their preferred choices regarding clothing and refreshments etc. Bedrooms seen were individually personalised with service users own possessions, photos and mementos. Records seen indicate that service users are provided with a varied and nutritious diet. Service users and a relative spoken with stated the food was good. Menus refer to Soup, assorted sandwiches and veg. This information should be elaborated on to prevent repartition.

The policy and procedures regarding making a complaint are clear, concise and easy to understand and all relevant contact details for the organisation and the CSCI are provided. Service users and their advocates are given information about the organisations complaints procedure at the time of admission. Relatives and advocates who completed comment cards stated they were aware of the homes complaints procedure. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 All of the relatives who completed CSCI questionnaires stated that they had not felt the need to make a complaint regarding the care and service provided by the home. Staff spoken with the stated they had received adult protection training and were aware of the term whistleblowing. Staff spoken with stated they felt confident that they could go to senior staff working in the home if they had any concerns regarding the practise of colleagues. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,26 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home continues to benefit from ongoing refurbishment and redecoration. EVIDENCE: Four requirements were made at the time of the previous inspection in relation to the building. Remedial work was required to the dining-room floor to enable it to be effectively cleaned. Action has been taken to address this issue. The flooring in the telephone room was also hazardous and this has been replaced. Sluice rooms were previously found to be unlocked and action has been taken by staff to ensure that they are unlocked when not in use. Service users continue to benefit from ongoing refurbishment and redecoration and the home is now able to offer a number of bedrooms with ensuite facilities. Unfortunately a smell of urine pervaded the front hallway and some bedrooms. The manager stated that she was aware of this and was currently taking steps to address this issue. Flooring and seating in the reception area has been Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 replaced and staff are seeking to find a way to eradicate the problem permanently. Although service users bedrooms were individually personalised an audit should be undertaken in relation to each room as some furniture and furnishings are particularly worn and in need of replacement. Service users are provided with a piece of bedroom furniture which is lockable and those who are able also can choose if they wish to have a key to their bedroom. The inspector spoke with a service user sitting in his bedroom he stated that he was comfortable and had everything that he needed. Although the majority of service users choose to sit in the main lounge there are alternative lounges available and the home also has a designated smoking room. During the course of the inspection it was apparent that a number of service users bedroom doors do not close, further the handyman stated that some bedroom doors had been replaced during the recent refurbishment and there was general confusion as to which doors met fire safety regulations and those that did not. The manager was advised to contact the fire department and arrange for a fire officer to visit to ensure that the home meets current fire safety standards. The external area immediately outside some fire exits was in need of some maintenance to ensure that people leaving the building in an emergency have a safe passage. The current laundry is very out dated and must be updated to comply with Department of Health guidelines, for example the layout of the area means that foul and clean linen are being processed in the same are which increases the risk of the spread of infection. Soap and paper towel dispensers were situated in the laundry and in all toilets. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29,30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is insufficient written evidence that robust recruitment procedures have been followed to protect service users. There was evidence that KCHT are committed to providing comprehensive training to staff employed. EVIDENCE: A requirement was made at the time of the previous inspection that staff records should contain the documents specified in schedule 2 of the Care Homes Regulations 2002. A sample of four staff files were examined in relation to recruitment and three members of staff were interviewed in private. It was apparent that action is still required to address this issue as files seen did not include information regarding references, proof of identity or confirmation that CRB/POVA checks had been undertaken. All staff spoken with confirmed that these processes had taken place. The manager who has only been in post for a few weeks stated that she was currently undertaking an audit in relation to staff files as she was aware that this requirement was outstanding in the previous inspection. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staff spoken with stated they had undertaken an induction period when they commenced working in the home. Staff have also received training in relation to caring for service users with dementia, training in catheter care and palliative care. Staff spoken with stated that KCHT provided a comprehensive training programme and that the manager and senior staff actively encouraged them to participate in training opportunities. 90 of care staff working in the home have attained an NVQ 2 or above qualification in care. The home operates a key works system and staff spoken with were able to provide clear details of the additional support and tasks they undertake for service users they are responsible for. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35,38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There is a system in place for reviewing and improving the quality of care provided. Health and Safety training protect service users and staff working in the home. EVIDENCE: Although the manager has only been in the home for a relatively short period of time all staff spoke positively about her style of management and the changes she had made since her arrival. Good interaction was seen between staff and service users and there was a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere in the home. It is necessary for KCHT to make an application to the CSCI for the manager to be registered. Weybourne DS0000006862.V311413.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Records seen indicate that a number of service users are unable to manage their finances independently; in these instances they are assisted by relatives or a local authority financial advocate who acts on their behalf. Small amounts of money are retained for individually named service users. The sample examined indicated that service users personal allowance tallied with the house records. Relatives are provided with a receipt when depositing money on behalf of service users and a record is kept of money deposited and withdrawn. In discussion with staff it is apparent that sound procedures are in place for staff to follow when handling service users money for the purpose of purchasing toiletries clothing etc on their behalf. Information provided at the time of the inspection indicates that there are regular safety and maintenance checks undertaken in relation to hoists used in the home, lifts, gas and electrical appliances. Staff spoken with stated that they had received statutory training regarding manual handling, food hygiene and fire safety. A number of staff hold first aid qualification and it is therefore possible for an appropriately qualified person to be on duty each shift. The manager stated that the home receives regular monthly audits from KCHT in accordance with regulation 26 of the Care Standards Act 2000. A requirement was made at the time of the previous inspection that the reports written following each visit should be forwarded to the CSCI. This now takes place on a regular basis.
