One relative commented that the home is, Always clean. A tour of the building confirmed that the home was clean and tidy, with no offensive odours. All bedrooms and communal areas were pleasantly decorated. Bedrooms have been fitted with door locks and therefore people are able to lock their doors should they wish for privacy or to secure their belongings when they are not in their room. However one bedroom door lock was inappropriate, it was only lockable from the outside, and a discussion was held with Mrs. Marshall who agreed to changing this lock. Since the last inspection the home has continued to update some areas where needed and the home has benefited from a newly fitted kitchen. One person spoken with said their bedroom door was too heavy to open and walk through with a walking frame.

On the day of the inspection there were 14 people living in the home and on duty were the Registered Provider, Mrs. Marshall and 3 care staff. A cleaner would normally be available but was currently on holiday. Thus providing evidence that the home had sufficient staff to support people currently living in the home. All of the staff on duty during the inspection were spoken with and some confirmed that they hold a NVQ qualification. The manager confirmed 10 of the 13 staff employed within the home currently hold this qualification. Examination of staff files showed that most staff had the required pre-employment checks, including CRB (Criminal Record Bureau Disclosure) in place ensuring as far as possible unsuitable staff are not employed. Care Homes for Older People Page 19 of 25 Evidence: One newly employed staff member did not have a second reference held on file. There was evidence that this reference was applied for and the owner agreed to obtain it. This staff member did have there last employers reference, a POVA check and a completed CRB in place.

Care Homes for Older People Page 20 of 25 Management and administration These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is led and managed appropriately. People control their own money and choose how they spend it. If they or someone close to them cannot manage their money, it is managed by the care home in their best interests. The environment is safe for people and staff because appropriate health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. The people staying at the home are safeguarded because it follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and ensures their staff understand the way things should be done. They get the right care because the staff are supervised and supported by their managers. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home continues to be appropriately managed for the benefit of the residents. There were areas where further attention will improve the overall rating. Evidence: Mrs Marshall continues to own and manage the home and works within the home almost on a daily basis. Mrs Marshall has a NVQ level 4 in care and holds the Registered Manager Award. Mrs. Marshall has run the home for a number of years and had a wealth of experience. Mrs Marshall has a excellent relationship with the people living in the home, the staff team and family and professionals visiting the home. This helps to ensure that the home is run in the best interest of people living in the home. The yearly completed Quality Assurance surveys were held in the home and all showed positive comments. This included the following comments, I am so well looked after and another saying, Top marks to Chaseborough House for care in the home. Care Homes for Older People Page 21 of 25 Evidence: The home looked after spending money for some of the people living in the home. The records showed a clear audit trial of income, expenditure and balances held. However one balance was checked and found to be incorrect. Mrs. Marshall stated that it is only her who is responsible for managing the money held and would look at the records and balance sheets and ensue the accounts are rectified. Supervision is still carried out informally with the providers stating no records are held. However the staff interviewed felt they were supported by the providers and were able to approach and discuss any issues. The AQAA states under what we could do better, My Induction procedure is not as good as it should be. Sampling of records indicated equipment is serviced regularly and maintained in good order. Health and Safety is a priority in the home and records examined showed fire safety training and fire protection is in place and up to date. The accident records were accurate and files examined showed that information is recorded onto accident forms and also written into peoples daily records with appropriate action taken when needed. Good health and safety practices reduce any unreasonable risk, affecting people living at the home, to an acceptable level.
