This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. Woodland Vale is a care home for older people, some of who may have dementia or mental health problems. A key unannounced inspection took place on the 31st January 2007 and 5th February 2007 beginning at 09:15 a.m. lasting approximately 9 hours. The inspection included a full tour of the home and discussion with the manager and care staff. Two hours were spent particularly observing the care given to some service users and any the activities undertaken. After which staff were spoken with and comparisons to care records were made. Three service users had their care needs studied in detail - their records were examined in detail. The inspector observed the care given to one of the service users that had dementia. The other two service users were spoken with in depth about the care and services they receive. The inspector also spoke to people receiving care and who gave their opinions on the care, activities, food, environment and staff. The inspector also observed care that three people received. Surveys were sent to six residents, six relatives, eight staff and five health and social care professionals. Comments from the people who responded are incorporated within the report. What the service does well:
Woodland Vale is a very well run service. Older people, some of who have dementia that lives at the home are cared for by a team of staff that are very experienced and skilled. The team of staff work in partnership with healthcare professionals, which benefits the people living at the home. People living at the home say that the staff are “always there to help and when I need help I ask for it”. Similarly, they say that “people are very kind” to them and make them “feel comfortable”. At the inspection, people were doing crafts, quizzes and games. People say “there’s always something going on”. Their relations are made welcome and are encouraged to visit often. The home is spacious and people can move about freely and safely there.

Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Woodland Vale DS0000033150.V328762.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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): 1, 3, 6 Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People that live at Woodland Vale receive person centred care that meets their needs. Intermediate care is not provided at the home. EVIDENCE: The home has a statement of purpose booklet which sets out the aims and objectives of the home and provides information about the service. This booklet was available in the entrance of the home. The document is comprehensive and provides information about what users can expect from the service. Woodland Vale DS0000033150.V328762.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Three care files were inspected. An assessment of care needs of prospective service users takes place prior to admission to the home. Documents seen provided evidence that the home had obtained a summary of the care management assessment and care plan had been obtained prior to each individual’s admission to the home. Additionally, people had been sent a ‘preadmission questionnaire’, which is excellent practice. In doing so, the home had obtained information about the individual’s social networks, preferences, hobbies and interests so that care was tailored to their needs. A high proportion of service users residing at the home had dementia that needed skilled input from staff. Two hours were spent in the lounges observing service users and how staff interacted with them. This highlighted examples of excellent practice. During the period of observation, staff involved service users in small groups to participate in a choice of activities. The activities were sensory or cognitively based, for example one group was involved in an art project and the other in a reminiscence quiz. Staff engaged with service users continuously at the right speed and demonstrated genuine warmth and attention, which people appeared to respond to and enjoy. Two health and social care professionals responding in a survey verified that the home communicates clearly and works in partnership with them. Additionally, they felt that staff demonstrate a clear understanding of the care needs of service users. Both respondents were satisfied with the overall care provided to service users within the home. Similarly, relatives that took part in a survey were satisfied with the overall care provided to their relation. The manager verified that intermediate care is not provided at the home.

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 & 10 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service.

The home maintains good professional relationships with specialist people and implements their advice to the benefit of the people living there. People receive the right medication, as prescribed, at the right time. Staff deliver care in a way that maintains the dignity and respect of the people that live in the home. EVIDENCE: Care plans were well maintained, accessible to service users and/or where applicable their next of kin. 100 of relatives responding in a survey verified that they were kept fully informed about their relation’s care. Care plans inspected had been kept under review. The inspector tracked the care for three residents and saw evidence of good outcomes for the people concerned.

Additionally, both verified that specialist advice they have given is incorporated into the service user’s plan of care. A service user responding in a survey verified that there are always staff available to help them and that they get medical support when needed. Health and social care professionals responding in a survey felt that medication is appropriately managed in the home. The inspector was told that only senior staff administer medications. Training records verified that people had undertaken training and had been assessed as competent to handle medicines safely. The inspector observed an assistant manager administering medication during lunchtime. Good practice was seen. The home uses a monitored dosage system. Secure storage facilities were seen that meet legal requirements. One person is responsible for stock taking and the inspector examined records that demonstrated that this is done on a monthly basis. Records of ordered drugs and a register of controlled drugs were seen and tallied with those being stored. The system was easy to audit and the inspector tracked medication administered to three residents. Records accurately reflected medication having been administered as prescribed by the GP. Staff were seen and heard knocking on doors before entering bedrooms and were carrying out personal care for service users in private. All staff observed in conversation with service users were heard to be courteous and respectful interacting continuously with people that have some limited communication due to dementia.

Two health and social care professionals responding in a survey indicated that the home communicates clearly and works in partnership with them. An annual development plan made links to the national minimum standards and regulatory requirements, and set out clear plans showing how shortfalls within the home would be met. In addition to this, the inspector read the development and quality plan for 2006-7 that had resulted from a satisfaction survey conducted in 2005. The manager told the inspector that two internal audits had been carried out in 2006, and there were plans to send a satisfaction survey to everyone that had involvement with the home. A suspense account is held known as ‘Woodland Vale residents’ account’. The inspector was shown records that demonstrated that a weekly reconciliation had been completed. Three residents whose records were examined had their own savings accounts. The inspector was able to easily track transactions against balances, and found these to be correct. The pre-inspection questionnaire completed by the manager verified that contractors had carried out maintenance to hoists, electrical, gas, fire and water systems during the last 12 months.
