What the care home does well

The staff team were keen for high standards to be maintained. Residents` plans of care and individual case notes were well documented and reflected each resident`s needs. The staff managed daily activities and entertainments well and provided a wide range of choice. Residents confirmed by discussion and through surveys that they were pleased with the choices on offer. The residents said that they liked living at the home. Most of the residents have lived at Wide Cove between twelve and twenty years. Residents said "I can do what I want to during the day", "the staff listen to what I say" and "if I am not happy or have a complaint I would go to the staff". Some of the comments received by relatives include "I am so impressed by the kindness and consideration and welfare given", "the attention of all the staff is most impressive" and "Wide Cove is well managed". The staff team were all white British but this reflected the current service user group. The care plans were person centred and reflected the diverse needs of the individual residents.

Sufficient information is provided for residents to make a decision about moving into the home. EVIDENCE: The home’s statement of purpose and function, service users guide and a copy of the most recent inspection report were available for the residents and prospective residents. The statement of purpose and service users guide were last reviewed in November 2005. They contained all information needed to make an informed choice on whether this home could meet the needs of the prospective resident. They included information on the home’s environment, how rights would be maintained and aims and objectives. Also included were personal and health care information, daily life and social activities, complaints procedure and staffing details. A brochure of the home included details of the home, the care provided, the staff team and the philosophy of Wide Cove. All residents were aware of the service users guide and a copy of the last inspection report was available on request. Some residents confirmed that they were involved in the care planning process. During discussions with staff it was evident they were aware of service users needs. Within each service user file a pre-assessment document was available which detailed their needs. Wide Cove DS0000005201.V293028.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle.

The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7 & 9 Quality in this area outcome is excellent. This judgement was made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents’ health, personal and social care needs are met by the staff team who enable them to maintain their privacy and dignity. EVIDENCE: Two residents’ care records were seen during this site visit. These were comprehensive and well presented in individual folders. Each was subdivided into sections that included care plan, risk assessments, medication and reviews. These were drawn up in consultation with the residents and were based on their assessed needs and risks. The care plans were reviewed on an annual basis and in conjunction with the residents. Person centred plans for dying and death had been fully developed. Risk assessments were in place for all the relevant activities that residents undertook. These included bathing, showering and going out alone. These were seen on the care plans and were up to date. Wide Cove DS0000005201.V293028.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 10 Daily record sheets showed that information was recorded in respect of each resident. These were detailed and covered all areas of daily living and were accurate, clearly written and signed by carers. The residents spoken with confirmed they had been involved in the choice of décor and furniture within their bedroom and this was seen to reflect each resident’s personality and preferred tastes. The inspector saw that regular house meetings are held and the last one was dated 28th May 2006. Issues discussed included service user surveys, menus, hairdresser, maintenance of the home and holidays and days out. The previous meeting was held on 22nd March 2006. Minutes were kept of all meetings. The residents and staff had signed to show attendance and reading the minutes of the meeting. Service users within the home were able to confirm that they had been involved in the care planning or review process and that staff helped and supported them when they needed it, such as with personal care tasks. Also staff “listen to what I say”, “Staff team are very friendly” and “the staff are brilliant and supportive”. I asked a service user if I could see her file, she agreed and went and got the file herself. She showed me what was in each file and said that I could read these. Observations made during the site visit included seeing staff knock on the bedroom door before entering and staff interactions with service users during lunch and throughout the time on site. The staff were attentive to service users needs and helped them when required. Often guidance and support rather than help was given to service users, enabling them to achieve tasks for themselves within their own time and limitations. Empowerment was very evident throughout all dealings seen between the staff team and service users. The general atmosphere within the home was warm and friendly.

Of the residents who were at home, one was having a day off from work and the other person preferred to stay at home. From the service users surveys it was noted that family and friends visited and were made welcome by the staff. Residents shared with the inspector the contact they had with family members and said they could choose to see visitors within their own room or in the shared areas of the home. The visits from families and friends were recorded in the daily record sheets. These were seen during the site visit. One service user told me about the weekends she spends with her father and how she enjoyed these visits. Wide Cove DS0000005201.V293028.R01.S.doc Version 5.1 Page 12 The documentation seen regarding daily routines showed that this was good. The residents were supported with daily living tasks as appropriate and a rota had been set up to assist with the completion of household chores, which the inspector saw. All residents had keys to their bedroom doors and residents confirmed that they could lock their doors. They were aware that staff could override this in an emergency. Residents confirmed that mealtimes were flexible. During the inspection one resident was supported in making Tuna Pasta and the other resident requested cheese on toast. One service user said “the meals are good here, plenty of variety and we choose the menus for the week. If you don’t like what is on then an alternative meal is offered”. The manager confirmed that each person chooses different days meals. Copies of menus were seen and reflected a wellbalanced range of foods. The manager stated that advice is given by the staff team on some healthy options and use of fresh fruit and vegetables. The kitchen was seen clean and tidy and fridge, freezer and hot food temperatures were taken and recorded. Activity sheets were seen for two service users.

Other activities which could be on a one to one basis with staff or in small groups included going out bowling, canal trips, shopping trips to Widnes, going shopping locally and to the bank and library, holiday in Wales, going to Norton Priory, Blue Planet Aquarium and Albert Docks. During discussions with service users they confirmed they liked going out and about and I was shown photographs taken by a service user of the trip out to the Blue Planet Aquarium. The Princes Trust had recently helped redesign the garden and service users were helping to keep it tidy and weeding. Also the manager had provided a greenhouse and is currently looking at providing a small vegetable garden and service users are interested in this. Service users said they liked being out in the garden in the nice weather.
