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, 3 and 5 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home’s statement of purpose and service user guide documentation provide prospective people with details of what the home provides helping an informed decision about admission to the home. The manager and/or nurse in charge assesses all people prior to admission to the home to ensure that the home will be able to meet their care needs. People may visit the home prior to admission. EVIDENCE: Collamere DS0000009005.V368389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Some resident admissions have occurred on the basis of recommendations, and some residents staying for respite care have moved in permanently. The home has in place good detailed information in the service user guide document and statement of purpose on the terms and conditions of placements at Collamere. The information provided in these documents allows decisions to be made (by prospective people) on the suitability of the home for them. These documents were revised and updated in February of this year. A copy of the Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide is kept in every bedroom. Visits to the home to have a look around, see the accommodation and meet the staff are encouraged prior to admission. Information is included in the service user guide on the admission assessment procedure and visits to the home. Prior to admission an assessment of care needs takes place by the registered manager and/or nurse in charge to establish that the care needs of the people can be met. When the assessment has been undertaken through care management arrangements the home has received a summary of the assessment and a copy of the plan. A care plan is then developed from the pre admission assessment document. The home enjoys good links with other healthcare professionals, (e.g. tissue viability nurses).

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 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care planning documentation has been considerably improved. The care plans evidence that the care needs of the residents are being met at all times. Medication is being administered correctly to residents. Staff are fully aware of the principles of respect, dignity and privacy in their delivery of care to the residents. EVIDENCE: The residents’ health and personal care needs are set out in an individual plan of care that is based on the activities of daily living. The care plans are Collamere DS0000009005.V368389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 reviewed and upgraded with new documentation and information at regular intervals. The care plans clearly identify the care needs of the people and how these are being met. Regular reviews of the care plans are also taking place. The care plans are fully accessible to the staff to include the carers and the nurses. Residents’ health care needs are generally well met. There is a wide variety of aids available to assist in meeting residents’ care needs. All residents are registered with a GP. The home has a number of link nurses. There are currently link nurses in place for dementia care, tissue viability, infection control and continence care. The home maintains good links with visiting health care professionals. Residents were complimentary about the care and attention of staff. The home has a medication policy in place, referencing the Royal Pharmaceutical Society (RPS) Guidelines. The home uses a monitored dosage system. The medication administration records (MAR) were signed and dated appropriately and each sheet contained a photograph of the resident. The Controlled Drugs (CD) were stored securely and recorded correctly. Trained nurses only administer the medication. Medication was seen to be administered appropriately, using a medicine trolley and two personnel during the morning. The morning medication round can take anything from 2-3 hours, dependent in interruptions and other demands placed on the nurse on duty. Comment is made later in this report about the pressures on the nursing staff, especially on morning shifts. We were informed that the medication storage facilities will shortly be moved to another area. When this is done the existing cupboards should be replaced with metal ones Residents confirmed that staff always knock before entering rooms, and all felt that their privacy and dignity were protected. Without exception, all the residents spoken with were complimentary about the kindness and consideration of the staff. All residents have access to a telephone, though some have their own telephone in their rooms. Collamere DS0000009005.V368389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The assessment of the social care needs of residents and the activities being provided at the home meets residents needs. Visitors to the home are welcomed and encouraged. During the course of the inspection the residents commented very favourably on the standard of the meals at the home. EVIDENCE: Residents confirmed that their waking day is flexible, and determined by their own wishes. Residents’ interests are known, and encouraged. A member of the care staff has been given dedicated time to organise and implement the activities undertaken by the home. Collamere DS0000009005.V368389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 There is a monthly activity plan and a record of those activities having occurred, including whether residents participated and enjoyed the event. Care staff could do more to ensure that entries in the daily records also give a picture of the resident’s lifestyle at the home. Residents spoken with confirmed that visiting is open and free from restrictions, and many residents are from the local community in and around Lostwithiel. A visitors’ book is kept in the entrance, which shows regular and frequent visitors to the home. Residents are able to handle their own financial affairs for so long as they wish and are able to do so. Residents are entitled to bring personal possessions with them and this was evident in some rooms. The home invoices for personal costs retrospectively, rather than accessing residents’ money. The registered manager advised the inspector that only a small number of residents have small amounts of money held at the home, and all residents have their own bank accounts. The cook has responsibility for providing a large number of meals within the home. The menu is mainly traditional and changes over a four week period. The menu includes for example two roast dinners in the week and fish and chips on a Friday. An alternative choice to the main meal is always available. On the day before a care staff member asks each service user what they would like to eat for the following day. Special diets are catered for, as are liquidised meals for example. Local suppliers are used to provide the meat and vegetables. All the cooks have obtained their basic food hygiene qualification. Records are in place to comply with the District Council Environmental Health Department “Better Business”. It was noted during the course of the inspection that the staff were able to assist people sensitively with the meals where they are more dependent. Each person spoken to during the course of the day expressed very positive comments on the standard of the meals. A quality assurance survey is conducted annually. A “Collamere” news sheet is regularly published. Collamere DS0000009005.V368389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18.

Collamere DS0000009005.V368389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 Based on discussions and review of the records, it is evident that a high number of residents require dressings, bloods and the administration of controlled drugs. The registered nurses were seen to be very busy and in order to maintain a high level of care it is considered that two nurses should be on duty at all times through the day to ensure that care needs are met promptly and safely. The duty rota shows that the home employs 21 care staff, of which 18 (approximately 85 ) have achieved NVQ Level 2 or above. Recruitment procedures were found to be satisfactory on the day of the inspection. Two written references and a criminal records bureau check are in place for all staff. New staff undertake a National Training Organisation compliant induction programme, a sample of which was seen at the time of the inspection.
