What the care home does well We looked at how the management of the home monitors and records the care provided to people who remain in their rooms because they are unwell and who are not able to summon assistance. We found that this had improved and clear records are now maintained of how people are care for and monitored. These records are stored in the persons room and staff complete them when care has been given. These monitoring records were a reflection of guidance given in the persons plan of care. We looked at staff rotas to establish how people who were employed with a Protection of Vulnerable Adults check but prior to the Criminal Record Bureau Check having been received, were supervised. We saw that the manager designate now includes the supervising person on the staff rota and so a clear record and audit trail is maintained ofhow staff are supervised during this period. The responsible individual was previously required to supply the Commission with a copy of the monthly Regulation 26 report which they undertake to monitor care at the home. We have now received the reports up to July 2010. No report is yet available for August 2010. The responsible individual must ensure that the date of the visit is recorded in the report. We required that all staff receive moving and handling training to ensure that safe practices were maintained at the home. Most staff have now undertaken this training. We requested to look at pre admission documentation to establish that the home undertakes appropriate assessments of people prior to admission to the home. This was not possible to assess because the home has not had any new admissions since the last key inspection, this area will be reviewed at the next inspection. We looked at risk assessments and care plans on our first visit on the 24th August 2010. We found them to be confusing and inaccurate and a result of several changes in process which resulted in large amounts of confusing documentations. We asked the management of the home to complete 10 care plans to an improved standard by the 9th September 2010. This was undertaken and the care plans and risk assessment were seen to be comprehensive and clear. The Commission appreciates the serious undertaking by the manager designate and staff to change the processes in place. We note that further development is needed to ensure that all the detail is included in the care plans and that risks seen are always appropriately actioned. The new risk assessments and care plans provide staff with a clearer direction and instruction to ensure that peoples needs can be appropriately met. We also noted that the manager designate has started to undertake life history books to enable staff to have an understanding of people using the service`s life, preferences and things which are important to them. We will review how this has progressed at the next key inspection. We made a requirement at the key inspection that bathing facilities were made available to all people using the service and that this provision is monitored to ensure people needs would be met. The hydrotherapy bath is now working and staff told us that whilst there is another bath available for people using the service with a higher level of independence, the hydrotherapy bath with hoist is used all of the time and is popular with people using the service. We made a requirement that the Controlled drug Cupboard be moved to a fixed wall in line with the Royal Pharmaceutical Guideline and the manager designate confirmed that this has now been done. We looked at the Medication Administration Records and saw that all hand transcribed medication had been signed by two people and that there were no gaps in any of the records where a signature or coded indicator should be. This means that staff are following correct procedure and ensuring that all prescribed medications are procured, recorded and administered correctly to ensure the safety of people using the service. We recommended that the capacity of people using the service be established to ensure that they could understand and agree to the administration of covert medication. The manager designate continues to develop a protocol which will clarify for staff the procedures to be followed to ensure that the administration of covert medication is appropriate. The protocol is not yet finalised and in place.We looked at the management of complaints and found that as a result of our inspection, a previous complaint had been gathered together and stored securely. We were told by the manager designate that no other complaints had been received by the management of the home and so this area will be reviewed at the next inspection. We had recommended that the complaints policy be displayed in the hallway of the home to enable people to know the procedure in place at the home. The manager designate has confirmed this is now in place. We required that all hot water outlets be monitored to ensure that they do not exceed the health and Safety upper limits and place people at risk of burns and scalds. The records were made available to us to demonstrate that this monitoring is now in place and all temperatures were within acceptable limits. We spoke with staff who told us that they are required to test the temperature of the water before each persons bath and record what that temperature was. The staff spoken with demonstrated an awareness of the appropriate range of temperatures. We required that staff undertake an induction process within a reasonable timescale before they work unsupervised at the home. We spoke with staff who are new to the home. They told us that they were well supervised and supported. They told us that they have an induction booklet which they work through with a senior member of staff. We were advised by the manager designate that no booklets were yet back from new staff and as such we will review this at the next inspection. We had previously recommended that a review take place of the perceptership supervision for newly qualified staff. This is required to support the development of newly qualified staff. We have found that whilst medication competency has been established no other areas of perceptership have been undertaken six months later. It is important that the management of the home understand the role of perceptership in the development of newly qualified staff to promote good care skills and practice. We required that all records relating to people using the service be stored securely. We What the care home could do better: The provision of social and community activities is not consistently provided, is not person centered and is not a process which develops the opportunity for individual meaningful activity. It is planned that a staff member will undertake a lead role in activity provision but this is not yet in place. The staff told us that some activity takes place inthe afternoons but that this is variable depending peoples ability and staff time constraints. We looked at records of activities. These are a tick chart which is not signed by the staff member completing it and so is not audit able for accuracy and content. There are further records which detail the content of the activity. We looked at the content of the activity and found that sometimes the ticks to confirm activity were not activities and were a reflection of staff recording that activity had been declined. We noted that for the month of August 2010 out of 31 days for 11 days no activity is recorded, for 2 further days two people had activity and for 5 days three people had activities. The management of the home must ensure that people are supported to engage in social and recreational activities, within their capabilities. Arrangements for this should be part of care planning. The records of these activities must be accurate and reflect the actual activity undertaken. We had made a requirement that all staff receive training in abuse awareness to support and protect the people using the service. We have been supplied with a training record which the manager designate confirmed as not being up dated to reflect accuracy. This record does not include staff employed from other homes in the extended relationship of the company. The record shows that only five out of the 28 staff listed had up to date abuse awareness training. This training must be undertaken by all staff to ensure that people using the service are safe. We looked at the recruitment files for three recently employed staff to ensure that the checks in place protected people using the service. At the random inspection on the 2nd August 2010 this area was reviewed and the management of the service had not met the requirements made. However, some improvement was seen and it was hoped by the Commission that the management of the home were to build on these improvements. At this inspection it was found that of the three files looked at, two people only had one reference in place and one person had an application form and 2 references from a different home, both dated in 2004. This person did not have a CRB or POVA check in place to work at this home. It is concerning that the management of the home continue to lack the understanding of the recruitment process and so may place people at risk. All recruitment checks must be in place prior to people starting work at the home with immediate effect. We required at the key inspection that staff must be trained and competent in all conditions which affect people at the home, especially dementia. We looked at the staff training records and found that eight staff had undertaken some training in dementia care. The home currently employs a mix of Registered General Nurses and two Registered Mental Nurses and so the staff training is particularly important to support people using the service when the RMN staff are not on duty. Further training is needed in dementia care to ensure that people using the service are supported and their specific needs met. We required that the homes brochure be made into an accurate reflection of care provided to ensure that people had an accurate and informed view of the services available at the home. We looked again at the brochure and found that the home now provides a safe garden and hydrotherapy bath described in the brochure. However, the brochure describes a sensory room which staff confirmed is not yet available. The brochure also has a picture and contact details for two homes which are not a part of Sheval Ltd. and may give the impression that they are. This information must be an accurate reflection of services and information provided.We previously recommended that staff receive training to ensure that terms of reference staff used for people are not `feeds` and `softs` and that appropriate names and reference are used. The manager designate told us that she works on the floor of the home and talks to staff daily and by staff meetings had dissuaded this practice. On the 9th September, we spent some time in the communal areas of the home and again heard these terms of reference being used when staff organised themselves for mealtimes. These terms were used within listening distance of people using the service. Training must be provided to ensure that this practice stops. Random inspection report

This was an announced inspection, which took place over two visits on the 24th August 2010 and 9th September 2010 by Compliance Inspector Gail Richardson.This inspection was undertaken as part of an ongoing monitoring of improvements and was in conjunction with associated health professionals. For the purpose of this inspection the term We will be used when referring to the Care Quality Commission. The last key inspection took place on the 21st May 2010 and had an 0 star rating. As part of that process an improvement plan was agreed between the management of Asheborough House, CQC, the Service Improvement team and the Continuing Care Co-ordinator, Mental Health NHS Cornwall. This improvement plan had agreed timescales in place. A further random inspection took place on 2nd August 2010 to look at recruitment and training practices at the home. Some areas were seen to have ongoing changes but further work was needed to ensure the safety of people using the service. We visited the home on the 24th August to review the improvement plan and assess how the statutory requirements had been met. We found that some areas had been met, however, areas including care planning and policies and procedures in place to protect people using the service and staff were not yet robust and as a result may place people at risk. We agreed with the management of the home to return on the 9th September to review action taken to meet these shortfalls. This report is relating to the visits on the 24th August 2010 and 9th September 2010 combined. Whilst at the home the Commission took the opportunity to review all the outcomes of actions taken to meet the statutory requirements made at the key inspection on the 21st May 2010. There are currently 22 people using the service. On the day of inspection on duty were the Manager Designate, a Registered General Nurse and six care staff. There were a further two staff doing breakfast service and administration staff, cooks and cleaning staff. The responsible individual was also available. What the care home does well:
We looked at how the management of the home monitors and records the care provided to people who remain in their rooms because they are unwell and who are not able to summon assistance. We found that this had improved and clear records are now maintained of how people are care for and monitored. These records are stored in the persons room and staff complete them when care has been given. These monitoring records were a reflection of guidance given in the persons plan of care. We looked at staff rotas to establish how people who were employed with a Protection of Vulnerable Adults check but prior to the Criminal Record Bureau Check having been received, were supervised. We saw that the manager designate now includes the supervising person on the staff rota and so a clear record and audit trail is maintained of
Care Homes for Older People Page 4 of 14 how staff are supervised during this period. The responsible individual was previously required to supply the Commission with a copy of the monthly Regulation 26 report which they undertake to monitor care at the home. We have now received the reports up to July 2010. No report is yet available for August 2010. The responsible individual must ensure that the date of the visit is recorded in the report. We required that all staff receive moving and handling training to ensure that safe practices were maintained at the home. Most staff have now undertaken this training. We requested to look at pre admission documentation to establish that the home undertakes appropriate assessments of people prior to admission to the home. This was not possible to assess because the home has not had any new admissions since the last key inspection, this area will be reviewed at the next inspection. We looked at risk assessments and care plans on our first visit on the 24th August 2010. We found them to be confusing and inaccurate and a result of several changes in process which resulted in large amounts of confusing documentations. We asked the management of the home to complete 10 care plans to an improved standard by the 9th September 2010. This was undertaken and the care plans and risk assessment were seen to be comprehensive and clear. The Commission appreciates the serious undertaking by the manager designate and staff to change the processes in place. We note that further development is needed to ensure that all the detail is included in the care plans and that risks seen are always appropriately actioned. The new risk assessments and care plans provide staff with a clearer direction and instruction to ensure that peoples needs can be appropriately met. We also noted that the manager designate has started to undertake life history books to enable staff to have an understanding of people using the services life, preferences and things which are important to them. We will review how this has progressed at the next key inspection. We made a requirement at the key inspection that bathing facilities were made available to all people using the service and that this provision is monitored to ensure people needs would be met. The hydrotherapy bath is now working and staff told us that whilst there is another bath available for people using the service with a higher level of independence, the hydrotherapy bath with hoist is used all of the time and is popular with people using the service.

This means that staff are following correct procedure and ensuring that all prescribed medications are procured, recorded and administered correctly to ensure the safety of people using the service. We recommended that the capacity of people using the service be established to ensure that they could understand and agree to the administration of covert medication. The manager designate continues to develop a protocol which will clarify for staff the procedures to be followed to ensure that the administration of covert medication is appropriate. The protocol is not yet finalised and in place. Care Homes for Older People Page 5 of 14 We looked at the management of complaints and found that as a result of our inspection, a previous complaint had been gathered together and stored securely. We were told by the manager designate that no other complaints had been received by the management of the home and so this area will be reviewed at the next inspection. We had recommended that the complaints policy be displayed in the hallway of the home to enable people to know the procedure in place at the home.

We spoke with staff who told us that they are required to test the temperature of the water before each persons bath and record what that temperature was. The staff spoken with demonstrated an awareness of the appropriate range of temperatures. We required that staff undertake an induction process within a reasonable timescale before they work unsupervised at the home. We spoke with staff who are new to the home. They told us that they were well supervised and supported. They told us that they have an induction booklet which they work through with a senior member of staff. We were advised by the manager designate that no booklets were yet back from new staff and as such we will review this at the next inspection. We had previously recommended that a review take place of the perceptership supervision for newly qualified staff. This is required to support the development of newly qualified staff. We have found that whilst medication competency has been established no other areas of perceptership have been undertaken six months later. It is important that the management of the home understand the role of perceptership in the development of newly qualified staff to promote good care skills and practice. We required that all records relating to people using the service be stored securely. We looked at a new lockable cupboard in the staff office which is to be used to store care plans and records requiring confidential storage. The process of moving them in to this lockable facility is yet to be undertaken. We recommended that lockable storage facilities be provided for people using the service to ensure that personal items could be stored securely. We have been advised by the manager designate that furniture has been purchased and reallocated to provide some of the people using the service the facility to lock personal belongings away. We recommended that all staff receive a contract of the terms and conditions of their employment and also a job description to enable them to know the boundaries of their role. This process is underway but copies of both documents have not yet been provided for staff and will be reviewed at the next key inspection. What they could do better:
The provision of social and community activities is not consistently provided, is not person centered and is not a process which develops the opportunity for individual meaningful activity. It is planned that a staff member will undertake a lead role in activity provision but this is not yet in place. The staff told us that some activity takes place in
