What the care home does well

The home undertakes thorough assessments of need with prospective residents. This means that residents can be confident that the home will identify each individuals needs. Care plans were structured and contained relevant information relating to how individual needs would be met. Good relationships existed between staff and residents and residents confirmed that they were consulted about issues that affected their lives. Residents health concerns had been promptly addressed through referrals to the appropriate health professionals. Staff maintained relationships with residents during periods of hospital admission. The home placed high importance on staff training and development.

What has improved since the last inspection?

No improvements were identified during this inspection.

What the care home could do better:

Serious concerns were identified in the administration of medication, hot water temperatures in two residents` bedrooms and the risk of burning through contact with a hot storage heater. These posed unacceptable risks to the health and safety of residents. The level of structured activities available to residents had deteriorated and residents told the inspector that they would like to do more.The manager should consider developing carers` skills to enable them to take responsibility for the care planning process. A number of and several of the homes communal areas had been re-decorated since the last inspection. However, the main lounge showed signs of discolouration due to cigarette smoke and was in need of redecoration. Additionally, cleanliness was an issue in certain parts of the home. The home was also required to review its system of food storage as good practice guidelines were not always being adhered to.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users’ know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 1 and 2 Residents admitted to the home could be confident that their needs would be identified. EVIDENCE: The inspector was told that the home had reviewed and updated its’ Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide since the last inspection. However, copies of the updated documents were not made available to the inspector at the time of this inspection. Thorough assessments of need had been undertaken with all residents prior to their admission to the home, including care manager assessments. This ensured that individuals’ needs had been identified and that the home was able to meet those needs. Risk assessments had been regularly monitored and reviewed. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 9 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 6, 7 and 9 Residents could be confident that their views would be listened to and that any necessary action would be taken to enable them to make choices about their preferred lifestyles. EVIDENCE: Five care plans were assessed during the inspection. Care plans contained comprehensive information and they had been subject to monthly review or more regularly where individual’s needs had changed. There was evidence that residents had agreed the contents of their care plans. Although the inspector was told that the home operated a keyworker system the manager took sole responsibility for the writing of care plans. A recommendation was made to develop the skills of keyworkers so that they can take on more responsibility in the monitoring, review and updating of care planning for residents. This could be achieved by utilising the skills of the two deputy home managers to mentor and guide the keyworkers’ personal development. On the second day of inspection a residents meeting was being held and one of the inspectors was present at the meeting. Staff encouraged residents to air their views and full consultation took place concerning issues that affected their lives. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 Action had been taken to minimise identified risks and residents had been given training about their personal safety. Resident’s preferred activities and choices had only been limited where the risk to individual safety could not be minimised. Care plans demonstrated that such decisions had been taken in full consultation with individual residents. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 12, 13, 16 and 17 Absence of structured activity programmes placed residents at risk of not having opportunities to develop self-determination and personal growth. EVIDENCE: During conversations with residents and staff it transpired that the level of activities engaged in by residents had deteriorated since the previous inspection. College placements and supported employment were no longer in evidence. Some staff suggested that this might have happened because of a recent turnover of staff. No evidence was found to demonstrate that a structured activity programme was in place for individual residents. Some residents told the inspector that they would like more activities and these residents made suggestions for improvements during their meeting. The lead inspector was told that part of the problem was that the local drop-in centre had closed for refurbishment and that a new centre in Chorlton would be explored. Most staff commented that they thought the residents would benefit from a structured activity programme. It was detailed in the previous inspection report that resident’s had opted to go on a self-catering holiday this Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 year. However, there was no evidence that a holiday or day trips had been arranged for residents. Residents told the inspectors that they each had responsibility for undertaking domestic tasks around the home, such as laundry, setting and clearing tables at mealtimes and keeping their personal space clean and tidy. Residents told the inspector that they enjoyed the meals provided and that they were afforded choice and flexibility at mealtimes. Ample food stocks were held in the homes food stores. Three meals were provided daily and drinks and snacks were always available. Residents had been issued with bus passes and had keys to their bedrooms. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18, 19 and 20 The absence of a safe system of administration of medication had the potential to place the health and welfare of residents at serious risk. EVIDENCE: Current annual health checks had been undertaken. There was written evidence to demonstrate that the home took prompt action in making the appropriate referrals in relation to residents health concerns. Staff accompanied residents to health appointments and regular health monitoring had been carried out. Staff provided full contact with residents who needed inpatient treatment at hospital. The pharmacist inspector was brought into the home on the third day of inspection due to serious concerns relating to the storage of medication. Staff had been removing medication from the local pharmacy blister packs and putting this into cassette boxes. This practice of secondary dispensing of medication is unsafe and not acceptable. Additionally, a bottle of Oromorph had not been locked in the medicine cupboard. It was pointed out to the inspector that the room in which the Oromorph was stored was always kept locked. However, medication must always be stored securely in line with the pharmaceutical society’s guidelines. The medicine cabinet was inadequate for storing the volume of medication prescribed to residents. Two bottles of medication were being stored in the kitchen fridge, which was not locked. The Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 14 home must either provide a lockable medication fridge or secure medicines in a locked container in the fridge. The following requirement and recommendations were made: • • • The registered person must undertake an urgent review of the medication system with the local pharmacist and a safe system must be in place within one month of this inspection. It was recommended that the registered person obtain a copy of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Guidelines on the administration of medication in care homes. It was also recommended that a secure cupboard is provided to store the stock of Depo injections prescribed to residents. The lead inspector and pharmacist inspector will return to the home at a later date to reassess the medication system. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 23 Suitable arrangements were in place to ensure that residents were protected from the risk of abuse. EVIDENCE: Two new members of staff were on duty on the second day of inspection. One of the individuals had received training in awareness of abuse at her previous employment, although the second person had not received training. Neither of these members of staff had seen the homes policy on abuse. One of the deputy managers told the inspector that he was exploring suitable training for staff in this area. Residents were clear about whom to inform if they felt they were being bullied or at risk of harm. Although staff were aware that abuse should be reported, one member of staff thought that the manager would be responsible for investigating abuse. The two deputy managers were clear that all allegations of abuse must be reported to Social Services Adult Protection officer. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24 and 30 High temperatures at two hot water outlets and the surface temperature of a storage heater potentially placed residents at risk of scalds and burns. Certain parts of the home’s décor, fixtures and fittings and general maintenance had deteriorated. This did not provide residents with a comfortable environment in which to live. EVIDENCE: One of the residents assisted the inspector to undertake a tour of the premises. Several bedrooms were inspected. Although eleven bedrooms had recently been re-decorated the standard of décor in some of the other bedrooms and the ground floor lounge was poor. Two bedroom carpets were stained and needed cleaning or replacing. Generally, the bedding provided to residents appeared to be old and in need of replacement. Lockable facilities in bedrooms had been provided according to resident choice. Serious concerns were identified in two bedrooms where the hot water temperature at the hand-wash basins exceeded 43° C. An immediate requirement was made to regulate all hot water outlets to around 43° C. The inspector made a phone call to the home on 27th September, where it was Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 17 confirmed by the manager that all hot water temperatures in the residents’ bedrooms had been regulated to the required temperature. Additionally, a storage heater in one of the lounges was very hot to touch. It was required that a risk assessment is carried out on this equipment. In conversation with residents the inspector was told that the home did not employ domestic staff. A resident also said, “Too many people smoke here”. There was evidence of smoke discolouration in the main lounge, which was designated as the smoking area. This precluded non-smoking residents from being able to socialise with fellow residents in a smoke-free environment. It is recommended that this issue is discussed with residents at their next meeting along with the possibility of installing extractor fans in the homes agreed smoking areas. A further recommendation was made for the registered provider to consider employing a domestic assistant to ensure that essential cleaning of the home is undertaken. The inspector assessed the kitchen and food storage areas. Ample stocks of food were in store and it was encouraging to note that fresh vegetables were provided for residents. Some areas for improvement were identified. All food must be stored above floor level e.g. potatoes. A packet of scones that had been opened was not stored in an airtight container to avoid contamination and puddings in the fridge were not date labelled. The deep fat fryer and cooker were encrusted with grease and in need of deep cleaning. The home had a large private rear garden for residents use. The lawn had been regularly maintained although the area had no character and a suitable seating area had not been provided for residents. A recommendation was made to consult with residents in agreeing a development plan to make the garden area more attractive so that residents can use the area for social and leisure pursuits. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 33, 35 A skilled and knowledgeable team of carers was in place to meet the needs of residents. EVIDENCE: The home was staffed in excess of the minimum number required on the days of inspection. A new deputy manager had been recruited since the previous inspection. In conversation with the inspector staff confirmed that they had their training needs assessed and had undergone formal supervisions four times per year and performance appraisals on an annual basis. The inspector was told that the provider placed high importance on staff training and a budget had been provided for this purpose. A programme of NVQ training was underway and staff were due to receive training in the protection of vulnerable adults from abuse. This will be fully assessed at the next inspection. Induction training had been carried out with new staff and first aid training had been planned. Woodlea Residential Care Home F55F05 S5637Woodlea V241716 300805 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 19 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 41 The homes use of a communication book potentially placed residents at risk of not having their personal information stored securely.
