What the care home does well People told us that they liked living at the home, and people confirmed they were happy with the care provided. People said they liked their bedroom and were encouraged to bring items of furniture, which had helped them settle into the home. People staying at the home for a short stay period said they would be happy to come back to the home to give relatives a rest however, they said they were looking forward to going back home. People told us they were aware of the complaints procedure and would feel happy to talk to the manager about Adeline House Nursing Home DS0000015848.V378325.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 their concerns. The home is good at arranging social activities for people who use the service. There were lots of photographs, memorabilia and examples of arts and crafts on notice boards which confirmed people can access a variety of activities. People said they liked the food provided at the home, they said there was lots of choice and the food was good quality. What has improved since the last inspection? Since the last inspection they have improved there recruitment and selection procedures to ensure the right staff are employed to keep people safe. References, Criminal Records Bureau checks and gaps in employment were found on all files looked at. Healthcare records confirmed that consent had been gained prior to people receiving the influenza injection, and records showed clearly the intervention required when people have skin tears and pressure ulcers. The environment has improved, with new carpets decoration of bedrooms and the gardens have been landscaped to the rear of the building. The two internal quadrangles have been cleared of clutter and new furniture has been purchased. Security lighting outside the main entrance has improved and new fencing has been put up to make the rear garden more secure. What the care home could do better: The home could improve the way they record essential information about people’s food and fluid intake. Some were not consistently completed which means people may not receive the care they need. The recording of people weight was inconsistent and agreements about the taking of photographs must be fully completed. Care plans must be clearly written so that staff can meet the needs of people, as some hand writing was difficult to read. Gaps in staffs training could pose significant risk of harm to people who use the service. Some essential health and safety training is out of date and staff who have not received moving and handling training must not carry out transfers of people until they have undertaken the training. The manager has arranged some training for staff to ensure they know what action to take to keep people safe, although the dates are early next year. Some checks on people’s knowledge on safeguarding adults should be undertaken until they receive the formal training.Adeline House Nursing HomeDS0000015848.V378325.R01.S.docVersion 5.2 Key inspection report CARE HOMES FOR OLDER PEOPLE

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 1 star. This means that the people who use the service experience adequate quality outcomes. This unannounced inspection took place over 6.5 hours starting at 09:30 finishing at 16:00. The visit included a partial inspection of the home. Seven people who use the service, the manager Siegfred Laguio, and six staff and were spoken to during this inspection, their views are included within this report. We have reviewed our practice when making requirements, to improve national consistency. Some requirements from previous reports may have been deleted or carried forward into this report as recommendations but only when it is considered that the people who use the service are not being put at significant risk of harm. In future, if a requirement is repeated, it is likely that enforcement action will be taken. Occupancy at the home shows 34 of the 40 beds were occupied, this includes people who were staying at the home for a short stay. Three peoples care plans were looked at. Policies relating to medication, complaints, protection and handling of people’s money were looked at. Five recruitment and training records were looked at to assess how people were protected. Procedures and risk assessments relating to health and safety were looked at and discussed with the operational managers. The Annual Quality Assurance Assessment was sent to the home for the manager to complete. This was received in a timely manner. An AQAA is a self-assessment and a dataset that is filled in once a year by all providers whatever their quality rating. It is one of the main ways that we will get information from providers about how they are meeting outcomes for people using their services. The AQAA also provides us with statistical information about the individual service and trends and patterns in social care. What the service does well:
People told us that they liked living at the home, and people confirmed they were happy with the care provided. People said they liked their bedroom and were encouraged to bring items of furniture, which had helped them settle into the home. People staying at the home for a short stay period said they would be happy to come back to the home to give relatives a rest however, they said they were looking forward to going back home.

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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3 People using the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who use the service were assessed before moving into the home to ensure their needs can be met. EVIDENCE: All new people receive a full comprehensive needs assessment before admission; this was carried out by the manager who had the required skills and competencies. The service was efficient in obtaining a summary of assessments undertaken by the placing authority, and insists on receiving a copy of the care plan before admission. Staff confirmed that information contained in the assessment was essential to understand what staff needed to do to ensure people’s needs were met. Adeline House Nursing Home DS0000015848.V378325.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 10 Three assessments were looked at and they focused on achieving positive outcomes for people who use the service. Before agreeing admission the manager and staff carefully considers the needs assessment for each individual prospective person and the capacity of the home to meet their needs. People said they had visited the home prior to admission, and found the staff to be very warm and friendly. Two people who was receiving respite care said, “we have been here for a couple of weeks, and we are happy with our care although we want to go back 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.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9, 10 People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The health and personal care that people receive requires some improvements to ensure they receive the care they need. The principles of respect, dignity and privacy are put into practice. EVIDENCE: A number of care plans were looked at. They included sufficient information to enable staff to deliver peoples care. Risk assessments and daily records provided information to staff to enable people remain independence while remaining safe. There was evidence that the care plans were reviewed and family was kept informed about any changes to the persons care. Some entries in the care plans looked at were difficult to read.

DS0000015848.V378325.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 12 taking of photographs of the person was signed but the agreement had not completed. Food intake records were in place for some people, although a number were not fully completed. Some said the meal had been refused, although there were no details in the care plan to give staff direction when meals are refused. There was no evidence to confirm supplements were offered when meals were frequently missed. Fluid intake charts were in place, although these were not consistently completed which means it is difficult to assess the information recorded. Records showing individuals weights had not been consistently completed, although staff said they were recorded on a chart showing all service users’ weight. The lack of a consistent approach to completing records could pose significant risk to people’s health and wellbeing. The nursing staff have responsibility for administering medication to people who use the service. An audit of the records and observation of the medication being administered to people confirmed the procedures were followed. The storage for controlled medication was appropriate and the records and medication were well managed. Staff was observed interacting with people throughout the day, they spoke in an appropriate manner and were seen offering choice with regard to refreshments and meals. Some people stayed in bed until late into the morning and the staff said they were provided with choice of times to get up and go to bed. People were addressed using their first name which was agreed with the individual. Staff were observed knocking on people’s bedroom door before entering and people confirmed staff respected their privacy and dignity. People have access to a call system in all areas of the home; however the inspector observed the call system to be constantly sounding, which could cause distress to some people. This was discussed with the manager, and he should monitor the time taken to attend to calls.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 38 People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service.

Adeline House Nursing Home
DS0000015848.V378325.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 22 Quality Assurance Assessment) it contained sufficient quality information. The AQAA provides a picture of the current situation within the service. It demonstrates where improvements are required to improve the service. Monthly quality assurance audits take place to ensure people receive a service which is value for money. Staff was encouraged to take ownership of the audits and a representative of the organisation undertakes and monthly visits to assess the home against national minimum standards. The organisation takes the lead for obtaining the views of people who use the service and they collate the data from yearly quality assurance surveys. A monthly newsletter has been developed and there was evidence that joint resident’s relatives meetings take place. The meetings were used to inform people of forthcoming events and to gain peoples views on the service that is being provided. Arrangements for safeguarding people’s money were in place, and a number of financial records were looked at. The procedures were discussed with the administrator. Accident reports were analysed by the manager to ensure risk assessments were developed where required, to minimise risks to people at the home. Maintenance and service records were up to date and current to the services provided. The manager had the required health and safety policies and procedures, relevant notices were displayed. Gaps in essential training including health and safety, food hygiene, infection control, and moving and handling means people may be put at significant risk of harm. Therefore this has been reflected in the adequate rating given for this outcome group. Adeline House Nursing Home DS0000015848.V378325.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 23 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
