What the care home does well The registered providers are involved in the day-to-day running of their two care homes and take a `hands-on` role as needed. They interact very well with the residents and the home has a happy, family atmosphere. There is a stable and committed staff team that provides continuity of care for the people that live there. The residents, and visiting relatives, were very positive about Courtlands, the staff, and the registered providers. There were no negative comments and the residents said that they would feel able to express any concerns should they have any. A Statement Of Purpose and Service Users guide informs prospective and current residents of the facilities and services. Each resident admitted to the care home is provided with a contract or terms and conditions of residency. Staff undertake an assessment plus gain the views and opinions of any specialist workers involved with prospective admissions. From this an individual plan of care that summarises the person`s needs is implemented. The care plan forms the basis of the care and support provided. The plans are regularly reviewed to make sure the person`s needs are met at all times. Good arrangements are in place to meet individual`s health needs and medical services are promptly accessed when required. Staff have been suitably trained in the administration of medication. People who use the service are able to decide the pattern of every day living and therefore the providers have a flexible approach to the care and support provided. Flexible visiting arrangements are in place and people who use the service decide where they meet with their visitors. People who use the service were positive about the varied and nutritional menu that reflects their preferences and choices. The kitchen is suitably equipped and good standards of cleanliness are maintained. The environment is homely, clean, and comfortable. The recruitment, selection and vetting arrangements are robust to ensure that good arrangements are in place that safeguard residents. What has improved since the last inspection? The registered providers have completed significant building work since the last inspection to improve the environment. There is a new laundry room, kitchen, and sluice room. The home has addressed the recommendations made at the previous inspection. What the care home could do better: The registered providers could do more to ensure the daily records better reflect the lifestyle of the residents and that the activities were offered/available to all (even if the offer was declined). The registered providers should ensure that the home`s policies and procedures are reviewed and updated as necessary. The home will benefit from the leadership and direction afforded by a registered manager.

Approximately 63 of the care staff have achieved NVQ Level 2 or above. All staff are offered opportunities to undertake training including, for example, 1st Aid and manual handling. Certificates and records of training are kept in staff personnel files. Staffing levels are consistent, and the care documentation indicate that these are sufficient to meet the needs of the people that live there. In general there are 6 care staff between 7am and 4pm; 4 care staff between 4pm and 9pm; and 3 care staff between 8.45pm and 7.45am.

Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. 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 and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Courtlands has actively involved registered providers who ensures that good standards are maintained by means of working practices and close liaison with the residents. There is no registered manager at present. EVIDENCE: Mrs Fairhurst has achieved the registered managers award and NVQ Level 5 in management and is responsible for human resources. Mr Fairhurst undertakes buildings and equipment maintenance responsibilities at the home. The registered providers also own another home in Cornwall. There is no registered manager at Courtlands and this position has been vacant since mid 2007. The registered providers have appointed potential managers in the intervening Courtlands DS0000009010.V374236.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 period, but this has not worked out. We were advised that a new manager will be commencing employment in the next few weeks. Quality Assurance systems were not inspected at this time. All but two of the residents take responsibility for their own financial affairs (or their relative/representative). Consequently, the registered providers have financial responsibilities on behalf of two residents. There are appropriate and accurate records maintained. Small amounts of money may be held for residents and the records are supported by signatures and receipts. Staff supervision is not taking place, though there was evidence seen of annual appraisals being carried out. The home has a policies and procedures folder, which is readily available to staff. The registered providers need to review and amended these. The registered provider maintains current invoices and records to show ongoing maintenance and safety checks. The insurance cover in place ensures that the home is well able to fully meet any loss or legal liabilities. There is strong evidence that the ethos of the home is open and transparent with the views of both staff and residents listened to, and valued. Without exception, the residents spoken with were highly complimentary about the registered provider and staff. The registered provider maintains good lines of communication with other relevant agencies, including the Commission for Social Care Inspection.
