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

It is the inspector`s opinion that service users are well cared for at the home. Service users interviewed spoke highly of staff and the quality of food offered at the home. They replied confidently that they were treated with respect and dignity. The home is well staffed ensuring service users needs are effectively met and this ensures that staff do not work under pressure and have time to interact with service users.

What has improved since the last inspection?

There has been considerable improvement in the bathing facilities in the home. A shower has been installed in one of the ground floor bathrooms but the inspector was unable to view it as it was in use. A fence has been erected and rubbish has been cleared in the garden. The service user guide has been reviewed and to contain information required by the Care Homes Regulations2001. The policy on service user property and money has been reviewed and it reflects the home`s position, which is to encourage service user to administer their finances. Induction training records are now available for the newest member of staff.

What the care home could do better:

Six immediate requirements were issued at this inspection relating to staff training, activities, food, service user care plans and risk assessments, a business plan and records of chemicals kept in the home. A requirement issued at the last inspection relating to supervision has still not been met. Service user care records such as care plans and risk assessments must be available for every service user and these must be kept up to date and accurately reflect the service user`s current needs. Service user health records must be maintained up to date. Service users must be consulted regarding their choice of activities and communication regarding meal choices for the day must be improved. Staff must receive training in dementia and receive regular supervision. A revised business plan that includes information on costs and timescales is required. The statement of purpose must be revised to include information criteria for admission and any therapeutic activities offered by the home. The medication policy must be reviewed to include information that shows that where possible service users are encouraged to administer their medication. Furniture and fittings in the rooms identified must be replaced. The manager and staff must talk regularly with residents, relatives and visiting professionals and take account of their views of life in the home and the way it is run. Infection control practises must be improved thorough the provision of a washing machine with a sluice cycle and the replacement of the laundry floor.

WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 7 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS 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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1 and 4 Prospective service users at the home are unlikely to make informed choices about the admission criteria and services offered at the home from the present statement of purpose. There is no written confirmation from a profession as to whether two service users have a diagnosis of dementia. This in addition to lack of staff training makes it unlikely that the needs of service users who may develop dementia while living at the home will be effectively met. EVIDENCE: The home’s statement of purpose and service user guide were examined. The service user guide was found to contain sufficient information. The statement of purpose had been reviewed but lacked clear information on the criteria for admission and the arrangements in place regarding therapeutic activities for service users. The registered person is required to review the statement of purpose to ensure that it contains all the information required under schedule 1 of the Care Homes Regulations 2001. A discussion with the most recent service user to be admitted to the home WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 revealed that she had not been able to visit the home before admission as she was in hospital. Her daughter had managed to visit the home on her behalf. A discussion with the manager revealed that training for staff in dementia is still to be arranged as they were waiting to hear from the trainer. An immediate requirement is made relating to this. There are two service users currently living at the home who are thought to have dementia. A Psychogeriatrician assessed one service user and the results of this assessment are due to be discussed at a meeting to be held with various professionals on 4 July 2005. The second service user has been confirmed as having a diagnosis of dementia and the manager is confident that the home is able to meet their needs. The registered person must ensure that written confirmation is sought on whether the two named service users have a diagnosis of dementia. This information will be used to form the basis of whether the registered person is required to submit an application for variation to the commission as the home is currently not registered to admit service users who have a diagnosis of dementia. WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 7, 8 and 9 The lack of care plans, risk assessments and health related records is putting service users at risk. It is questionable as to how their needs can be adequately met in the absence of this documentation. The medication policy must be reviewed to promote the independence of service users. EVIDENCE: Three files were examined for service users who had been admitted to the home between the months of January and May 2005. Pre-admission assessments and a care plan were available for two service users who had been admitted during the month of May. There were however no risk assessments despite information on file stating that one service user was unsteady on their feet and suffered from swollen ankles. There was also no evidence that both service users had been consulted regarding their care. The third file did not contain care plan or risk assessment documents despite the fact that the service user had been living at the home for 4 ½ months. The inspector was extremely concerned, as the requirement at the previous inspection for these documents to be available had not been complied with. The registered person must ensure that a care plan and risk assessment are available for the service user admitted in January 2005. The registered person WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 must also ensure that all service user files contain comprehensive risk assessments. An immediate requirement was issued relating to this. The inspector interviewed the most recent service user to be admitted to the home. She stated, “ I love it here” and she confirmed that staff treated her well. At the previous inspection the inspector noted that there were no records of recent dental appointments for a named service user. The registered person was required to ensure that clear and accurate records are maintained. The inspector was informed that the dentist had recently visited this service user. A record of this visit had been made in the daily record log but this was difficult to locate and not up to date. This requirement is restated. At the previous inspection it was required that the medication policy is reviewed to include information that encourages service users to take responsibility for their medication. This requirement is within the timescales set at the previous inspection. WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 12 and 15 There has been no progress made to consult with service users regarding the provision of varied and appropriate activities within the home. The lack of effective communication regarding food means that service users are not able to identify dietary options and choices available to them. EVIDENCE: At the previous inspection the activities timetable was examined. Activities listed included, bingo, beauty treatments, puzzles and keep fit with music. Service users interviewed expressed a desire for activities such as knitting, crocheting and “going out somewhere on a bus.” This information was relayed to the registered person who agreed to review the activities provided at the home in consultation with service users. At this inspection this requirement was still outstanding therefore an immediate requirement was issued. At the previous inspection comments received from service users regarding the quality of food were very positive. Service users told the inspector that they were unaware what they would be served at meal times until it was on their plates. A discussion with the registered person revealed that communication with service users regarding the food offered to them at the home had not been improved. The registered person advised that appropriate methods of communication with service users regarding food were still to be implemented. WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 Interviews with two service users revealed that they enjoyed the food provided by the home. One service user described it as “delicious.” WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 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 inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18 Lack of adult protection training for staff leaves service users at risk of harm and abuse. EVIDENCE: There has been no progress following a requirement made at the last inspection that staff receive training in adult protection. A discussion with the registered person revealed that this is still to be arranged. This requirement is restated for the third time. WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 19, 21, 24 and 26 The current poor condition of the garden and laundry room does not create pleasant surroundings and has potential risks on service user’s health and safety. Similarly bedrooms supplied with incorrect mattresses, poor quality lace curtains and lampshades do not offer universally comfortable and attractive facilities for service users. EVIDENCE: The inspector was able to view the garden. A garden fence had been put up and rubbish cleared from the garden. The resident’s lounge overlooks the garden and it is the inspector’s opinion that the garden in its current state is not a welcoming sight. The registered person advised there are plans to make the garden attractive by planting flowers. This requirement is within the timescales set at the last inspection. A shower has been installed on the ground floor but the inspector was unable to view it as it was in use by a service user. At the previous inspection the registered person was required to replace various items of furniture and fittings in rooms 3, 8 and 18. This had not been done therefore an immediate requirement was issued relating to this. Through discussion, the most recent WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 service user to move into the home advised that she occupied a shared room and she loved the room and was very comfortable. At the previous inspection a requirement was made for the registered person to ensure that the washing machine used in the home has a sluice cycle and that the laundry flooring is replaced. This requirement is within the timescales set at the last inspection. WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 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 considers Standards 27, 29, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) Standards 27-30 were not assessed on this occasion. Standards 27, 29 and 30 will be assessed at the next inspection as they are key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. EVIDENCE: Not applicable WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 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 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 33, 34, 35, 36 and 38 The health and safety of service users living in the home must be maintained through portable appliance testing and maintaining records of chemicals used in the home. Although staff induction records are now available, irregular and poorly documented supervision has resulted in low levels of support for staff. There has been no formal consultation with service users and other stakeholders on the quality of care offered by the home. This coupled with little progress in financial policies and other related documentation leaves service users vulnerable. EVIDENCE: Despite previous discussions with the registered person regarding the implementation of a quality assurance exercise, this is still outstanding. This requirement remains within the timescales set at the previous inspection. WOODLANDS G59 S32662 Woodlands N13 V230895 08.06.2005 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 The home has reviewed its policy on service user’s property and money. The policy encourages service users to administer their finances but there is no clarity on the home’s position with regard to the manager acting as an appointee for service users. The registered person must ensure that persons working at the home do not act as the agent of a service user. The requirement for the home to maintain inventories of service users’ personal belongings is still outstanding. This requirement is restated for the third time. The registered person supplied the CSCI with a business plan for the home but with no estimates of costs and timescales the information supplied was not meaningful. An immediate requirement was issued relating to this. At the previous inspection a requirement was made requiring induction records to be maintained for a new member of staff. These were viewed and the inspector was informed that no new members of staff had been employed since April 2005. At the last inspection an immediate requirement was made requiring the registered person to ensure all staff receive regular supervision. The inspector was shown the revised format for supervision and was advised that would be used to record future supervision sessions. This requirement is restated for the third time. At the previous inspection a requirement was made that the registered person maintain a record of control of substances hazardous to health [COSHH chemicals]. As this requirement was still outstanding from the previous three inspections, an immediate requirement was issued. A requirement was made at the previous inspection that tests are carried out on portable appliances. This requirement is within the timescales set at the previous inspection.
