Also see our care home review for Windsor Court for more information

This inspection was carried out on 15th June 2007.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Adequate. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The home did complete pre admission assessments before offering prospective residents a placement. Visitors to the home said they were warmly welcomed into the home and they had been involved in the admission process. Two of the residents said the staff managed their medication for them and they could not recall any problems. The staff were seen with the residents offering support as needed. Two staff were assisting people with their meals in an unhurried manner.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home has been extended and there had been a major refurbishment of the existing premises creating a greatly improved environment for the residents and staff. Work was continuing on the external areas to provide accessible outside areas. All bedroom doors had been fitted with appropriate door locks to ensure that residents` privacy is respected but they can be overridden in case of emergency. The activity organiser had introduced a monthly activity programme and copies were posted around the home and also given to some people. People felt there had been recent improvements in the quality of the meals provided and there was a greater choice available. During the building work there had been staffing difficulties and the kitchen had been in a temporary building. There had been analysis of the complaint reports had identified improvements to the laundry system. All staff received training in Adult Protection issues from the local authority, helping to ensure a proper response to any suspicion or allegation of abuse. The alterations to the home had created improved storage facilities. Following the adult protection investigation, all external doors had been linked to the call system to alert staff if a door had been opened. The home had improved notifications of significant events to the Commission. The home employs an activity organiser and the programme was being developed to help meet the social needs of the residents. In the new nursing wing, underfloor heating has been provided removing the risk of burns. In the older part of the building radiators had been covered. New staff were appointed once the required clearances had been obtained. The fire risk assessment and resulting action plan had been produced and the matters arising were being addressed.

What the care home could do better:

Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8The care plans seen contained a variety of care documentation, there were omissions and duplication of information. The home had consent forms for the use of bed rails, however these were not in line with current guidance. In one room, the bedrails were incorrectly fitted and posed a significant hazard to the resident. Nutritional assessments did not clearly identify why people were identified as at risk. Moving and handling assessments did not clearly identify the equipment to be used for specific individuals. Where possible, further information about each resident`s background, social history, previous hobbies and interests etc. should be recorded, to ensure that the activities on offer at Windsor Court will be meeting the individual needs, preferences and expectations of residents. Amendments to the medication records were not checked by a second person and could result in transcription errors. The records did not clearly show whether one or two tablets had been taken and boxed items were not dated and could result in out of date medication being administered. Food provided was described as improving however it was noted that heated trolleys were still not in use and people commented that food eaten away from the dining room was often cold. The complaints records did not show the outcome to the investigation or the response to the complainant. During the tour of the premises cleaning trolleys were seen unattended at several locations. This put residents at risk from cleaning products and they were restricting walkways and could increase the risk of falls. There were unmarked toiletries in one bathroom, if used by several residents could increase the risk of infection. The manager was working on staff training and development programme to ensure staff have the training necessary to carry out their work. The management of the home needs to satisfy themselves that the staff have the required competencies to administer nursing care. Many of the issues found during this inspection resulted from poor administration support this was being addressed by the owners. The quality assurance system was being developed to include the views of healthcare professionals; the results would be used in the business development plan. The fire records had not been completed fully in recent weeks and could result in the system not working correctly in an emergency situation.There was evidence of analysis of accident reports, however this had not been recorded recently. The accident book held completed forms in contravention of Data Protection regulations. The reports were in sequential order and the system was auditable.

Getting to the town centre requires negotiating a steep hill as does accessing public transport, although the nearest bus stop is within 200 yards of the home. Windsor Court was originally a grand gentlemens residence before being converted to a hotel and still retains many of the features and appearance of a building that was used for that purpose, although it is now registered as a care home, providing personal care for up to 58 older people. The home has a wheelchair accessible entrance area with a small lounge adjacent to the generous hallway. Further communal areas, comprising the spacious dining room, TV and quiet lounges are all located on the ground floor and furnished much as if the premises was still a hotel. All rooms have high ceilings and big windows. There is a secluded garden at the rear of the home that is mainly laid to lawn, surrounded by mature trees and a large car parking area at the front for visitors. Windsor Court is owned by Lyndale Healthcare Ltd, a family business. Building works and a programme of refurbishment are currently nearing completion, updating facilities and improving the standard of accommodation. Residents accommodation is located on the lower ground, ground, first and second floors of the home with access between floors via a wide staircase, passenger or stair lifts. Aids and equipment are available for residents who may have disabilities. The home is centrally heated throughout. All of the fifty eight bedrooms are for single occupancy, with fifty – three having their own en-suite WC. The remaining five comprise two pairs of bedrooms, with each pair sharing the en-suite facilities and one room that has an en-suite WC and wash hand basin. Windsor Court provides 24-hour personal care, all meals, laundry and domestic services. Residents are encouraged to participate in a range of activities organised in the home. A monthly inter-denominational religious service takes place in the home. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 The fees for the home, as confirmed to the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) at the time of inspection, range from £442 - £700 per week. Additional charges include hairdressing, chiropody, dry cleaning, toiletries and newspapers.

The CSCI has responded to this report and further information can be obtained from the following website: http:/www.csci.org.uk/about_csci/press_releases/better_advice_for_people_ choosing a care home .aspx A copy of the home’s inspection report will be made available to anyone wishing to read it upon request to the manager. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The unannounced inspection took place on Friday 15th June 2007 between 09:45 and 17:45. The inspector, Trevor Julian was accompanied by a second inspector, Chris Gould. The home’s manager, Mrs Seeborun, and the company’s responsible person, Mr Glanville, were on the premises throughout the visit. The new extension providing an additional 15 places with nursing capacity had recently been registered. It was noted that the opening of the new extension and improvements to the existing home had affected the home’s administration systems with the move to new office accommodation, this had resulted in short term problems for the staff while the systems were being refined. Before the visit, the home had completed a comprehensive Annual Quality Assurance Assessment of the service and this was used for pre inspection planning. During the visit further information was gained through discussion with residents, staff, visitors and management; a tour of the premises and a review of records. Since the last key inspection there had been an Adult Protection meeting held to review the circumstances surrounding a missing resident. What the service does well: The home did complete pre admission assessments before offering prospective residents a placement. Visitors to the home said they were warmly welcomed into the home and they had been involved in the admission process. Two of the residents said the staff managed their medication for them and they could not recall any problems. The staff were seen with the residents offering support as needed. Two staff were assisting people with their meals in an unhurried manner. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 What has improved since the last inspection?

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): 3 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The pre - admission assessment process did not fully ensure that the home was appropriate for the needs of the individual. EVIDENCE: The home had a system for the assessment of people moving to the home. However, on the files seen there were sections which had not been completed and other areas not fully considered e.g. oral care. Some of the assessments were not dated nor did they identify who had been involved in the assessment. The newest person had been admitted to a nursing placement, the assessment was incomplete and there was no information from his previous placement. On their admission assessment for the resident who has Alzheimer’s disease there Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 is no mention of this or how it impacts on his care needs. The assessment just consisted of a summary of his needs not how the conclusions were reached. The home had produced new, service users’ guide and statement of purpose to take account of recent changes; it needed to be amended to accurately reflect the client groups catered for. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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): Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Further work was needed to identify and review care and social needs to ensure that agreed tasks were carried out to meet those assessed needs. Medication procedures would benefit from regular reviews to ensure that it is being administered safely. People living at Windsor Court were treated respectfully to uphold their basic rights. EVIDENCE: There were four files reviewed during the visit. The files seen showed evidence of regular reviews. Each file contained a variety of forms used for care planning and review. With the range of forms in use there were omissions and duplication of information. On two of the files there were consent forms for the provision of bedrails but there was no assessment in line with current Department of Health guidance, (http:/www.mhra.gov.uk/home/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&useSecond ary=true&ssDocName=CON2025348&ssTargetNodeId=572) . During the tour Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 of the premises, one resident was seen with bed rails with a mattress which was too high creating a hazard. The home had facilities to weigh residents on a monthly basis but the nutritional assessments did not clearly identify why people were identified as high risk. Moving and handling assessments did not give information on the types of hoist or size of sling to be used. The files seen did not identify social care needs and activities and interactions were not up to date. The medication used in the home was supplied by a local chemist. The medication storage room was being fitted with an extractor fan; however it was very warm at the time of the visit which could affect some of the medication. There was a locked refrigerator to store some medication which was set to operate at between 2-5°C. Medication was generally well managed however, where there are amendments and additions to medication records these should be witnessed by a second person to reduce the risk of transcription errors. One record showed that pain relieving medication could be given as needed, the individual was not able to ask for medication and there was no medication care plan. It was also not clear whether one or two tablets had been given. Where boxed items were administered directly there was no indication of when the items were started and so could result in out of date items being used. The medication system would benefit from regular internal audits to reduce the risk of recording errors. Two of the residents said that the staff managed their medication and they were happy with the service. During the visit staff were seen interacting with the residents and a good rapport was noted. One resident said they were treated with respect and that the staff were supportive. Before the visit two GP practices returned comment cards and were both positive about the services offered by the home. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People in the home were offered choices in their daily lives dependent on their personal circumstances. EVIDENCE: The home had employed an activity organiser to help identify and meet the social and religious needs of the residents. There were plans to develop social histories for the residents. The organiser had produced a monthly programme of events and activities which is given to the residents. There were interdenominational religious services held in the home. One person said that she greatly appreciated the visiting library service who regularly change her books and ensure that they provide books for her stated preferences. Two sets of visitors were seen during the visit both were in the process of settling their relative into the home. They felt they were made welcome by the staff and residents and would be happy to visit at any reasonable time. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The kitchen area has been altered but is still to be refurbished and the layout changed to provide a good working space. Consequently, residents felt the quality and variety of food offered had declined, although some did say there had been recent improvements. Additionally, there had been several changes of cook. With the new kitchen in place and a new chef recently appointed there had already been improvements and the chef was keen to develop more choice and to seek the views of the residents over the menus offered at midday and teatime. There were two dining rooms and several people took meals in their own rooms by request. The home had a heated trolley to ferry meals to the lower ground and were in the process of purchasing 2 more. However, this was not used on the day of the inspection. Some residents did comment that when delivered to the rooms the food could become cold and inedible. Some people were being helped with their meals this was carried out in an unobtrusive and unrushed manner. A visit to the kitchen revealed good stocks of fresh fruit and vegetables, the chef added that he hoped to introduce a sweet trolley with fresh fruit available. One person did add that fruit was available but many people did not ask for any, another said that he particularly enjoyed his cooked breakfasts. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 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): Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home had systems for responding to complaints and allegations of abuse allowing the residents and visitors to express concerns with confidence. EVIDENCE: The home had a complaints procedure which was on display on the main notice board however this had been removed during the renovations. Information was also included in the service users guide. The complaints procedure did not identify the local social services, primary care trust and CSCI offices. The complaint file had records of complaints and compliments received in the home. However, there was no evidence of the outcome of the investigation or response to the originator. Two recent complaints had been about items of laundry, Mrs Seeborun, had taken action and improved the laundry service in the home, but this was not recorded. The staff were trained in adult protection procedures by the local authority. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The refurbishment and extension of the home had greatly improved the standard of the environment for the residents and staff. However, some practices in the home could put people at risk. EVIDENCE: The home had benefited from a major refurbishment. The building work had created difficulties for the residents and staff but by the time of the inspection the finishing touches were being completed. The original building had the bathrooms refurbished and specialist baths and showers fitted. The carpet throughout the home had been replaced. In the bedrooms of the people requiring nursing care consideration must be given to ensure the placement of the bed allows suitable staff access to provide care. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The adult protection process had identified that residents could leave the premises by some doors without staff being aware as a result all external doors are linked to the new alarm system. A call logging system helps to identify alarm usage trends and response times. The case also identified problems with the door locks fitted to the bedrooms, all bedrooms were being fitted with suitable locks. The gardens to the front and rear were being landscaped and residents were looking forward to getting a new patio area. The premises were clean and odour free, during the visit it was noticed that the cleaning equipment was left unattended on two occasions close to vulnerable people living in the home. Unlabelled toiletries were also seen in one of the bathrooms. In order to protect people from the risk of cross infection, toiletries should be provided on an individual basis. The staff had access to protective equipment to help manage infection control. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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, 30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Staffing levels were adequate however there was concern regarding the competence levels. EVIDENCE: Staffing levels at the time of the visit were good and appropriate to the needs the needs of the residents. Consideration was given to the nursing staff, all the nurses had UKCC pin however, one of the nurses had not practiced in the UK, or where she qualified, for several years. The home must be satisfied that the nursing staff are fully conversant with current UK practice. The files showed that all checks and clearances were in place before starting work in the home. The manager was developing a training programme to map training completed and needed. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.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. 38. Quality in this outcome area is poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home’s management and administration systems were not effective and were being developed in order to ensure that the service was run safely and for the benefit of the residents. EVIDENCE: The home’s manager had been in post for nearly one year. In that time, the building work and the addition of nursing placements had created a period of great upheaval. This had resulted in poor administration. The home had recently employed an administrator to provide extra support. Windsor Court DS0000032192.V343192.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 The manager has gained experience working at a senior level with another provider before moving to Windsor Court she has also a qualification equivalent to NVQ level 4 Registered Managers Award. The home had a quality assurance programme which was being broadened to community health teams and a staff survey was also being considered. The results of the survey would then need to be fed into the business development plan. As stated above analysis of two recent complaints had resulted in changes to the laundry system. The accident book was examined and completed forms were held in the book in contravention of data protection principles. The records were sequential and it was auditable. There was evidence of accident analysis but it had not been completed recently. The home had employed a fire safety consultant to carry out a risk assessment and they were working on the resulting action plan. The fire precautions log showed that routine tests had not been recorded in recent weeks. Action needs to be taken to ensure that the tests are carried out to ensure that systems and procedures are operating correctly. As stated above there were several items of cleaning liquids left unattended at different locations. This poses a significant risk to confused residents and extra care needs to be taken.
