This unannounced inspection was conducted by the Commission as part of its regulatory duty to inspect all care homes. The focus of inspections undertaken by the Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) is upon outcomes for residents and their views and experiences of the service provided. The purpose of the inspection was to assess the home’s compliance with all of the key National Minimum Standards for Older People and to review the requirements and recommendations from the previous inspection report. The inspection was conducted on 15th December 2006 and took a total of 6 hours which included:• • • • • • • A review of the Commissions records; Examination of the Pre Inspection Questionnaire completed by the home; Planning the inspection; The premises were inspected including communal areas and most of the bedrooms; Sampling/examination of a range of the home’s records; Observing practice and general routines in the home; Talking with 14 residents and 3 members of staff; Reading, collation and analysis of 27 surveys and comment cards [3 General Practitioner, 1 health professional, 10 relatives/representatives and 13 residents]. On the day of the inspection there were 26 residents accommodated and the inspector was assisted throughout the inspection by Pauline Stevenson, registered manager. What the service does well: Wolfeton Manor continues to offer a high standard of care to its client group of elderly people with low to moderate care needs in elegant, spacious, well maintained accommodation. The provision of comprehensive information, detailed needs assessment prior to any admission and comprehensive care planning and risk assessment processes contributed to the provision of a level of care residents feel is very high. Comments received included: “The staff could not be better, I feel well cared for and am very satisfied with the help I get”, “There is always assistance if you need it which is a comfort”. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 Standards relating to daily life and social activities for the most part continue to exceed minimum standards. Social events, entertainment, contact with the local community was reported by residents to be very good. Wolfeton Manor has achieved and maintained a very high standard of catering provision and is again commended on exceeding this standard in all respects. An extensive menu of high quality, professionally prepared and cooked meals, which are extremely well presented and served is provided. The inspector was pleased to be invited to join residents for lunch; this afforded extra opportunity to further gather residents views upon their life within Wolfeton Manor and observe the serving of meals. Meals are an unhurried occasion, and it was observed that where necessary, assistance with meals was provided discreetly, minimising any loss of dignity. Soft, relaxing background music was played and dining tables were beautifully laid with good linen, cutlery and fresh flowers. Comments received included: “The food is always of a high standard, there is variety and you can have different if you want”, “Meals are more than adequate; we have a good varied menu each day and I have no complaints at all” and “Excellent food, always plenty of it and it is hot”. General comments received through surveys and discussion included: • • • • • • “I could not be more satisfied, the change over has gone smoothly”; “Everything is first class – same as always”; “Staff are very kind and respectful and will always help if you need it”; “I am very happy here I do as I please and am thankful that I am able to”; “There are no complaints, the buffet nights are missed though”; “It is expensive but you only get what you pay for don’t you?”. Extensive efforts have been made to reduce any anxiety relating to the change of ownership of the home earlier in the year. From contact with residents this has been much appreciated by the residents. What has improved since the last inspection? No significant changes were noted, the management has concentrated on ensuring a smooth hand over of ownership for the benefit of residents.

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): All the above were assessed. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Comprehensive information is supplied to assist prospective residents in making an informed choice when considering Wolfeton Manor as a suitable home for them. Pre admission assessments of care needs are undertaken to ensure the home will be able to properly meet them and prospective residents are assured in writing their care needs can be met by the home. Prospective residents and/or their representatives are encouraged to visit the home in advance of admission to assist them in making an informed choice. A formal signed agreement relating to the terms and conditions of residence safeguards and provides clarity for residents. The home does not provide intermediate care. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 EVIDENCE: The home’s Statement of Purpose has been amended to reflect the change of ownership of the home. The care records of recently admitted residents were examined. There was evidence that assessments of need had been conducted prior to admission and that residents were assured in writing that as a result of the assessment, the home was able to meet their care needs. Prospective residents are encouraged to visit the home and a trial period is agreed. Each resident has entered into a formal written agreement, signed by them or their relative/representative. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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): 7, 8, 9 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans are detailed ensuring staff have the information they need to satisfactorily meet resident’s needs. The health needs of residents are well met and good multi disciplinary working takes place on a regular basis promoting and maintaining (where possible) good health. Systems in place for the management of medication are clear however actual practice needs to be accurate and in line with policies and procedures for resident safety and to ensure residents medication needs are fully met. Residents are treated with respect and their privacy and dignity is promoted, enhancing their quality of life. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 EVIDENCE: A sample of 4 care plan files were examined and found to be well organised. Residents have been involved in the development of the care plan designed to meet their assessed care needs, which is dated and signed by the resident. There was some evidence that not all care plans had been subject to monthly review as one of the care plans viewed had not being reviewed since 30th October 2006. A method of recording that routine personal care tasks have been carried out is in a tick box format. The content and frequency of recording in hand written case notes, relating to the general well being of residents, would benefit from improvement. It was noted that in one resident’s records there was a gap between 11/11/06 and 27/11/06. On the 27th November it was recorded that there had been a health problem that day and the previous day [26/11/06] and the entry noted “will keep an eye out”. However, there were no more entries in the records until 11/12/06 so there was no evidence that the situation had actually been monitored and the health problem had been resolved. The home must be able to demonstrate that identified health problems are monitored effectively and any action necessary is recorded through to conclusion/ satisfactory outcome. Case notes/care records should accurately reflect the health and well being of residents, providing a historical and timely record. Care plans include risk assessments and sufficient instruction to staff on how each individuals care needs are to be met. Residents are enabled to access NHS services and hospital appointments and domiciliary visits of health professionals were recorded appropriately. Satisfactory policies and procedures relating to medicines are in place. A Boots blister-pack system is used in the home and staff have received accredited training in the Administration of Medication. The main medication cupboard and medication trolley were well organised, well lit, clean and tidy. The records of administration of medication were up to date, legible and appropriately signed. Photographs of residents were in place for identification purposes. However, a shortfall was identified in relation to the management and administration of Controlled Drugs. Examination of the Controlled Drugs register and the actual stock held established that one resident had not had a Fentanyl patch for pain relief administered as prescribed on 8th December. It is required that all medication is administered as prescribed and it recommended that a routine monthly audit of medicines is implemented. Contact with residents through surveys and discussion found that they are treated with respect and that assistance provided with personal care is provided sensitively and in a manner which protects dignity. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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): All the above standards were assessed. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Social, cultural and recreational activities are dependent on individual preferences and the resident’s capacity for involvement. The activities provided by the home are varied, interesting and provide mental and physical stimulation for residents. Residents are supported in maintaining contact with their friends, family and the community and they are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives promoting independence. An exceptionally good wholesome varied diet is provided, meals are appetising and of good quantity and quality, assisting with the promotion and maintenance of health. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 EVIDENCE: According to residents it remains the case that there is a very good programme of social events and activities on offer that they find interesting and stimulating although several residents spoken to said that the standard of activities had declined since the home came under new ownership. However, further discussion with residents ascertained that the only actual changes to the programme had been the lack of provision of the special buffet and drinks parties ‘theme’ nights that had been run by the previous management team. These had taken place on occasion, on particular celebration days i.e. St George’s Day, St Patrick’s Day, VE Day. During discussions residents then said they could understand this as at one time, in addition to Mrs Stevenson, there were four others in the management team present in the home on an almost daily basis. Mrs Stevenson explained to the inspector that it was her intention to try and re instigate the celebration theme days when it had been possible for the recruitment of a deputy manager to assist her in the day-to-day management of the home. Residents said that they are consulted with regards to how they would like to spend their leisure time and that their wishes are respected if they do not want to join in anything. Comments were received praising the home for the welcome and hospitality that is given to residents’ visitors and this is clearly very much appreciated. Good links have been forged with the local community and local groups visit the home for concerts, carol singing and other occasions. The standard of catering remains of an extremely high standard. Trained chefs and up to date commercial catering equipment contribute to the high standards achieved. The menu of the day was on display in the dining room showing there was a choice of two hot main courses with selection of five different vegetables to choose from. In addition there was a choice of salad. The sweet trolley offered choice of a range of hot and cold desserts; residents commented that this is always the case. There was evidence to demonstrate that residents are offered an informed choice on all the three full meals provided each day. Where assistance with eating was required it was observed that help was given in a sensitive and unobtrusive manner that promoted dignity. Wolfeton Manor DS0000066937.V323691.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18.

Complaints are managed properly and residents are confident their concerns are listened to and taken seriously. Staff members’ knowledge and understanding of Adult Protection issues provides a safe environment to protect residents from abuse. EVIDENCE: Appropriate policies and procedures and complaint records are in place. Since the last inspection there has been one complaint; the records were able to demonstrate that the complaint had been dealt with in line with the home’s policies and procedures and the complainant was satisfied with the conclusion and outcome of the complaint. Residents spoken with were very complimentary about the manager and said they felt able to refer any issues to her, confident that appropriate action would be taken to address any issues. Staff spoke of receiving training in adult protection/prevention of abuse and were knowledgeable about the subject .
