The service users files selected were of two (One YA and one OP) more recently admitted service users and one ( OP) who had been in the home since 2004. The home use documents called the “Lifestyle Plan” that are developed from the pre- admission assessment process. This care plan includes risk assessments for pressure areas, continence, mental health, nutrition and the service user’s dependency level. They also use monitoring tools for catheter care, wound charts and baseline observations. The contents of the care plans are detailed and they are reviewed on a monthly basis. The staff daily records are concisely written but greater emphasis could be made to record the outcomes of the individual’s day. External healthcare is accessed for service users for dental, hearing and eye care and visits are recorded separately in the care plans. The company have employed a Tissue Viability Nurse to assist staff to provide care for those service users who have compromised skin and pressure areas.

The Commission considers standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 (Older People) and Standards 37, 39 and 42 (Adults 18-65) 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 and 38 OP, 37,39 and 42 YA Quality in this outcome area is good. The home ensures that service users are protected by safe working practices and that the staff are managed well. Windmill Care Centre DS0000011024.V308930.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The new manager is a Registered Nurse who has had several senior roles within nursing and the company that owns the home. She has already completed management induction programme including abuse training and is registered to commence NVQ 4 in September. She is also in the process for applying to be the registered manager for the home. The home and the company undertake a service user satisfaction survey on an annual basis and there are regular service users meetings where they are able to contribute to how the home is run. Through a recent meeting the home has already identified that the meals and menu planning does not always meet service users wishes. The home has a secure system of handling service users personal spending monies for toiletries, hairdressing, chiropody and newspapers if they are unable to manage these themselves. A small amount of spending money is kept in individual envelopes in the home and any larger sums are kept centrally at head office. The account’s are reviewed routinely by the company auditor’s and service users are provided with statements of their financial status regularly. There is no facility for service users to access their monies at weekends or Bank Holidays unless prior arrangements have been made. Staff have been supplementing service users from their own pockets until they are reimbursed later. Service users did not express concerns about access to their money. The home does not have one specific safe storage place for valuables deposited out of office hours but they do provide receipt’s if this occurs. Service users are able to have a lockable space in their rooms should they wish. The inspector was informed that the activities staff are responsible for the purchase of service users personal toiletries from a local supermarket. The staff use loyalty card for this supermarket when purchasing these items and the points/ monies raised are used to obtain goods for the activities in the home. The home does not have a specific policy for the use of loyalty cards when purchasing on service users behalf or for their consent for this to occur. The home has training and information available for staff for safe working practices. The company provides policy and procedure manuals for staff that are kept in the nurses stations on each floor. However, old policy documents have been left and not removed therefore staff could be using the wrong documents for information. The home has systems in place for the monitoring of the water, power and equipment in the home that are usually carried out by the maintenance staff. Fire testing and drills occur. The method for recording the safety and maintenance checks is disorganised as they can be found in
Windmill Care Centre DS0000011024.V308930.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 various filing systems and checks by management to ensure that they are on schedule do not occur. Safety notices are on display around the home. Windmill Care Centre DS0000011024.V308930.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
