What the care home does well

Wyndham House has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service users spoken to stated that they felt "at home." It is also a stimulating environment with lots of interaction between staff and service users. All service users observed were animated and content. There are plenty of organised activities and service users commented that there was always something going on. Service users stated that they continued to be in control of their day to day lives. It was noted that people moved freely around the home, their opinions were sought and choices were offered. Everybody asked felt that they were treated with dignity and that their privacy was respected. The inspector observed that interactions between staff and service users were warm and friendly. There are appropriate measures in place to ensure the health and safety of service users. Recruitment procedures are robust, minimising the risks of abuse to service users. Medication policies and procedures promote safe practice. During the inspection, and on comment cards received prior to the inspection, people were very complimentary about the staff in the home. They were described as "superb" and "excellent."One person told the inspector that when they moved to the home they were reluctant to accept help with personal care but because "staff are so sensitive you never feel embarrassed you just feel cared for." All relatives, visitors and health and social care professionals who completed comment cards stated that they were Satisfied with the overall care provided at the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Since the last inspection the home has been extended to create an additional 15 bedrooms and additional communal space. As part of the redevelopment the garden has been landscaped creating a very pleasant outside space. The conservatory has been extended and the dining room has been enlarged and modernised. Service users stated that the enlarged dining room was particularly appreciated over the Christmas period as it offered a great space for social functions and entertainment. A recommendation at the last inspection was that care plans should be reviewed monthly to include short-term issues requiring action and that needs were clearly recorded. The inspector viewed the care plans at this inspection and found evidence that they were being regularly reviewed.

The home is situated up a hill in close walking distance from the centre of Minehead, providing access to a wide range of facilities. The property is a three storey older house with a modern two-storey extension. The location of the home allows residents to enjoy a seaside town environment if they are sufficiently mobile. Residents are encouraged to furnish their rooms with their own possessions and have an opportunity to choose the colour scheme. There is a programme of organised activities, which encourages interaction between residents and staff. The home has been adapted to maximise independence and contains sufficient specialised equipment. There are well-established systems of care and staff management. Fees at the home range from £410. to £520. per week. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was carried out by one inspector over an 8 hour period. The inspector was given unrestricted access to all areas of the home, was able to meet with staff and service users and spend time with the manager. During the day the inspector was able to observe care practices and was also invited to join service users for lunch. 8 questionnaires/comment cards were received from service users, 9 from relatives/ visitors and 8 from health and social care professionals. Some of the outcomes and comments have been incorporated into this report. What the service does well: Wyndham House has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Service users spoken to stated that they felt “at home.” It is also a stimulating environment with lots of interaction between staff and service users. All service users observed were animated and content. There are plenty of organised activities and service users commented that there was always something going on. Service users stated that they continued to be in control of their day to day lives. It was noted that people moved freely around the home, their opinions were sought and choices were offered. Everybody asked felt that they were treated with dignity and that their privacy was respected. The inspector observed that interactions between staff and service users were warm and friendly. There are appropriate measures in place to ensure the health and safety of service users. Recruitment procedures are robust, minimising the risks of abuse to service users. Medication policies and procedures promote safe practice. During the inspection, and on comment cards received prior to the inspection, people were very complimentary about the staff in the home. They were described as “superb” and “excellent.” Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 One person told the inspector that when they moved to the home they were reluctant to accept help with personal care but because “staff are so sensitive you never feel embarrassed you just feel cared for.” All relatives, visitors and health and social care professionals who completed comment cards stated that they were Satisfied with the overall care provided at the home. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Two recommendations have been made at this inspection. The first is to review the procedures in respect of people who self medicate. The present procedure is cumbersome and may deter some service users from taking responsibility for their own medication. The policies and procedures in respect of self medication should take account of the individual needs and physical abilities of service users. It is also recommended that the whistle blowing policy in the staff handbook gives contact details of appropriate outside agencies. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 inspection.

Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 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 Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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, 2, 3, 4 & 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. All prospective service users have their needs assessed and have opportunities to visit the home before deciding to take up residence. The service user guide gives clear and up to date information. Intermediate care is not provided. EVIDENCE: The home has up dated its statement of purpose and service user guide since the last inspection. The updated document takes account of all the changes that have occurred in the home. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The service user guide clearly sets out what is included in the basic fee. All service users who are paying privately for their care have a contract with the home. Those who are being assisted with fees by the local authority have a financial agreement with the relevant authority. 7 of the 8 service users who completed questionnaires prior to the inspection answered YES to the question “Did you receive enough information about the home before you moved in?” Service users spoken to on the day of inspection stated that they, or their family, had been able to visit the home before making a decision to become a resident. Two service users stated that they had had a short stay at the home prior to moving in on a permanent basis. The manager sees and assesses all prospective service users prior to offering a place at the home. This is another opportunity to give information about the home and ensure that the prospective service users’ needs can be met. In addition to full residential care and respite care the home also offers day care, which is a chance for people to spend extended periods of time in the home. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.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 & 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users are treated with dignity and their privacy is respected. The policies and procedures in respect of medication ensure safe practice in this area. All service users have access to appropriate healthcare professionals. EVIDENCE: 7 of the 8 service users who completed questionnaires prior to the inspection answered ALWAYS to the question “Do you receive the care and support you need?” Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 One service user was keen to point out that, although the home did not employ nurses, carers were very observant and were very quick to notice and discuss health care issues. The home makes arrangements for service user to be seen by an outside healthcare professional and assists with attending appointments. All service users asked stated that they were treated with respect at all times. One person stated “they don’t treat you like a child and let you make your own decisions.” All rooms are for single occupancy and service users are able to see personal and professional visitors in the privacy of their own rooms if they wish to. The inspector noted that assistance was offered in a sensitive manner and interactions were friendly and respectful. People who required assistance with meals were sat with, and assisted in a very dignified manner. Service users are able to spend time in communal areas or in the privacy of their rooms. There are numerous places around the home where service users can sit comfortably with each other or entertain guests without disruption. All care plans are now computerised but paper copies are kept for service users to read. The inspector viewed a selection of care plans (5) with the manager. All were personal to the individual and contained details of peoples physical and social needs. A brief social history had been written in respect of each service user to ensure that carers were aware of the individuals’ lifestyle and preferences. Daily records are maintained on computer which outline significant events and wellbeing. All care plans seen had been regularly reviewed and contained up to date information to enable staff to assist people in their chosen style. The home has appropriate storage for medication including controlled drugs and medication that requires refrigeration. The inspector viewed the Medication Administration Records (MARS) and found them to be well maintained and correctly signed when received and administered. Currently service users who administer their own medication are assessed to ensure they are safe to do so and are requested to sign a chart at each administration. This is a very cumbersome method and may dissuade or prohibit some service users from self-administering. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Only senior staff administer medication and all receive regular training in this area. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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): 12, 13, 14 & 15. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Service users continue to be in control of their day to day lives and are free to express their opinions and preferences. The quality of food is excellent and there is a wide variety of meals. EVIDENCE: Service users living at the home stated that routines were flexible allowing them to choose what time they got up, when they went to bed, and how they spent their day. There are dedicated workers who assist people to take part in activities. On the day of the inspection the inspector noted that the activity worker moved around areas of the home providing group activities and social stimulation on a one to one basis. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Service users stated that they are free to join in with activities but do not feel obliged to do so. Service users are also able to make suggestions about activities in the home. A small group of people have recently started up a music appreciation group, which they talked about enthusiastically. There is a regular church service in the home and visiting clergy offer communion on an individual basis. Library books are available and newspapers and magazines are delivered to those who request them. There is a small shop in the home, which is managed by one of the service users, and some service users stated that they regularly went into town. Service users spoken to were particularly complimentary about the activities and entertainment programme that was arranged over the Christmas and New Year period. All service users who filled in questionnaires before the inspection answered ALWAYS or USUALLY to the question “Are there activities that you can take part in?” Comments included “Never get bored” and “ a good variety of activities.” One relative/visitor commented that there was “always a lot of stimulation, activities – a happy place to visit.” Many service users spoken to stated that one of the nicest things about living at Wyndham house was the company. The variety of communal seating areas means that service users are able to socialise in small groups as well as the large lounge areas. All stated that they were able to have visitors at anytime and felt comfortable to invite friends and relatives to the home, knowing that they would always be made welcome. 9 visitors/relatives completed comment cards prior to the inspection. All said that they were made to feel welcome at any time. All relatives, visitors and health and social care professionals stated that they were able to visit the service user in private. Service users asked stated that they continued to feel in control of their day to day lives and are able to continue with their chosen lifestyles. Talking to staff it was evident that they considered the service users wishes and preferences in their work. The inspector noted that staff consulted with service users and interacted on a very equal basis. Service users stated that they felt comfortable and “at home.” The main meal of the day is at lunch time and again this is a very social occasion. Since the last inspection the dining room has been enlarged and enhanced. It is an extremely light and airy room with ample space to comfortably accommodate all service users. There is also a smaller dining room for those who wish to eat in a quieter environment and people attending Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 the home for day care. Service users stated that they are also able to eat in their rooms if they wish to and the inspector saw trays being taken to service users’ rooms. The inspector was invited to have lunch with service users. There was a choice of main meal and vegetables and condiments were available on all tables for people to help themselves to. After the first course carers take round a sweet trolley with numerous options for service users to choose from including fresh fruit. Teas and coffees are served after the meal creating a very relaxed atmosphere. As previously mentioned service users who required assistance with their meals were supported in a very dignified manner and included in the social interactions of the meal. The quality of the food on the day of inspection was excellent and service users stated that this was always the case. Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.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 confident that any concerns or complaints made would be taken seriously and appropriate action taken to rectify any issues. Procedures and practices in the home minimise the risk of abuse to service users. EVIDENCE: The home has policies and procedures in respect of recognising and reporting abuse, making a complaint and whistle blowing. (It was noted that the whistle blowing policy in the staff handbook did not have contact details for appropriate outside agencies.) There is information about local advocacy services and other relevant organisations in the main hall. Since the last inspection there has been one complaint made to the home. This was fully investigated to the satisfaction of all parties. The manager gave evidence that all complaints are taken seriously and looked upon as a way of evaluating and improving the service.

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 good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are good training opportunities in the home, which leads to a competent staff team. Recruitment practices are robust and minimise the risks to service users. EVIDENCE: The home employs 34 care staff, 18 (53 ) have a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in care at level 2 or above. There is an expectation on all care staff to undertake NVQ training once they have completed their induction period. The inspector viewed the training records for staff and noted that in addition to statutory training in health and safety there are opportunities for staff to undertake training in issues relating to the care of older people. Training courses have included diabetes, dementia and Parkinsons disease. All 8 health and social care professionals who completed comment cards prior to the inspection answered YES to the question “Do staff demonstrate a clear understanding of the needs of service users?” Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Service users spoken to felt that there were adequate numbers of staff on duty at all times although they acknowledged that they were always kept busy.

Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 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, 35, 36 & 38. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home is effectively managed taking account of the views of service users. Appropriate measures are in place to ensure the health and safety of people in the home. EVIDENCE: The registered manager of the home is Madeleine Flanagan. She has many years experience of working with older people and has achieved the Registered Managers Award (NVQ level 4.) Wyndham House DS0000016037.V319221.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 24 There is a clear management structure in the home setting out roles and responsibilities. There is always a senior member of staff on duty who co ordinates the shift and offers support and guidance to less experienced staff. As well as informal supervision all staff receive regular recorded supervision with a more senior member of staff. Records of supervision show that frequency of supervision sessions are dependant on the needs of the individual and cover a wide variety of issues. The manager is clear about the aims of the home and consults service users about how they think it should be run. The company, Somerset Care, has quality assurance systems in place and the home carry out service user surveys and hold regular meetings to seek the views of service users. The inspector viewed the most recent quality surveys and found them to be very complimentary about the care and facilities offered. No one working at the home acts as a financial appointee or power of attorney for any service user. Small amounts of money are held on behalf of some service users and up to date records are maintained of these monies. Systems are in place to maintain health and safety in the home. A maintenance person is employed who carries out regular checks on equipment such as the fire detection system and portable electrical appliances. There is evidence that equipment, such as lifts and fire fighting and detection equipment is also regularly serviced by outside contractors. As previously mentioned staff have received training in health and safety issues dependant on their level of responsibility. Up to date certificates of registration and insurance are displayed.
