There is a daily log completed by staff in relation to each persons health, activities and general demeanour. The home operates a key worker system and staff were able to provide verbal information on action they take to meet peoples needs to enhance their quality of life. This is particularly important, as residents are unable to clearly express their views and choices independently. Residents are encouraged to participate in decisions relating to their home and wellbeing.

In order to meet the CSCI National Minimum Standards 50 of the care staff need to hold a NVQ two qualification in care. At present 44 of the care staff hold this qualification. The manager stated that the organisation continues to work towards achieving the standard. The staff roster seen indicates there are a total of three staff on duty during the morning and most of the afternoon. The manager stated they tried to ensure that there was a mixture of male and female staff on duty for each shift as all residents accommodated require help with intimate personal care. Beehive DS0000025943.V356455.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 At the time of the last inspection a requirement was made regarding the need for staffing levels to be sufficient to meet the needs of the residents accommodated. Since then a highly dependent resident has left the home. The manager stated that two new staff were currently going through the recruitment process and the home would then have its full staffing quota. She was confident the staffing levels would then meet the needs of the existing resident group. In the short-term some shifts are covered by MCCH bank staff and others by staff who work in the home regularly on a day-to-day basis. From discussion with staff and records seen it is apparent that regular staff meetings are held. The manager also operates a communication book to provide staff with up-to-date information. Staff stated they found this useful particularly if there had been off duty for a couple of days. Records were examined in relation to two members of staff recently recruited to work in the home. there was evidence that MCCH operate an appropriate recruitment procedure. Prospective staff completed application forms and attended interviews. Records seen appeared to indicate that only one reference had been taken up for each person. The manager stated she was confident that two references have been taken up however would follow up this matter and update the records accordingly. From records seen it was apparent that CRB/POVA checks are undertaken before staff are able to commence employment. The manager stated that MCCHs policy was to update the CRB checks for all employees every three years. New staff have a comprehensive induction which includes shadowing an existing staff member and spending time at the MCCH local office to learn the organisations policies and procedures. A copy of the training matrix for all staff working in the home was seen. This enables the organisation to monitor staff members training needs and the manager stated that staff are routinely reminded when they need to attend updates, i.e. in relation to moving and handling, adult protection, first aid etc. Staff are also provided with service specific training such as dementia, epilepsy, makaton. Staff spoken with felt that MCCH provided them with appropriate training to undertake the work they perform.

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 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39,42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents and staff benefit from the home being run by a suitably qualified and competent person. Regular safety and maintenance checks are carried out to ensure residents and staff live and work in a safe environment. Although the organisation monitors the quality of the service provided the monitoring visits are not carried out frequently enough. EVIDENCE: A requirement was made at the time of the last inspection regarding the need for the home to have a manager in post. Since the last inspection the acting manager who has a number of years experience working with people with learning disability and holds an NVQ4 qualification in care and management, has completed the CSCI registration process and is now registered to manage the home on a day-to-day basis. Beehive DS0000025943.V356455.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 It was apparent that the manager communicates a clear sense of leadership and actively encourages teamwork between herself and the care staff working in the home. A requirement was made at the time of the last inspection regarding the need for a representative of MCCH to visit the home on a monthly basis to undertake an audit of the care and service being provided. From records seen and discussion with the manager it is apparent that this is not happening on a regular basis and action is required to address this. Records seen indicate there are regular safety and maintenance checks undertaken to the fire detection system, gas and portable electrical appliances. Designated staff have responsibility for issues pertaining to fire safety and health and safety. All staff receive training in relation to these issues at the time of their induction and have regular training updates thereafter.
