What the care home does well There was recorded evidence of health and psychological care being recognised and attended to. Many outside agencies are included in the welfare of people in the home including occupational therapist, psychiatrist, speech and language, agencies for the blind and other health care professionals. Staff have responded well to the needs of different people including supporting one person with sight and hearing loss to walk in the village with confidence. Staff training is robust and staff spoke of how good the company is in providing training. `Brilliant` and `unbelievably good` were said about the amount of training given. There was evidence of training certificates on display in offices. What has improved since the last inspection? Senior staff have all received the appointed person training in first aid. This had been a recommendation at the last inspection. What the care home could do better: The proposed building works has meant that refurbishment and repair has not been ongoing recently. But work must be undertaken in several areas for health and safety despite building work starting in the near future. Some doors and drawer fronts are missing in Mill House kitchen and it is in need of an overhaul. The cupboards and drawers should be covered, as the contents get dirty through general usage of the kitchen. A recommendation is made for suitable coverings for this area to be put in place. The staff have to work very hard indeed to maintain cleanliness in this area and the kitchen was clean and tidy on the day of the unannounced inspection. A bathroom has a box covering for pipes that has become loose and could be a hazard to health and safety. The team leader agreed to get this done immediately. A requirement is made for risk assessments to be reviewed for those windows without restrictors as some seen on the day opened fully and could be a hazard for some people. The staff sleep in room in Forge House is on the lower ground floor and has only one exit, a requirement is made for this to be risk assessed for fire safety. A recommendation made at the previous inspection for more user-friendly care plans has not yet been achieved.

This means that the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. The Registered Manager was on annual leave at the time of the unannounced inspection. The senior staff in each of the three houses making up Eastry Villas and the team leader were helpful in providing information about the way the home works. All the people living in the villas were introduced and one person warmly greeted the inspector on arrival in the front drive. Proposed building works are due to take place in the very near future. It is understood that no redecoration or refurbishment has taken place because of the complete restructuring of the houses. However there are some areas that must have some attention for health and safety purposes. Staff have worked very hard indeed to keep the premises clean and tidy despite parts of the buildings being in need of refurbishment and repair. People were friendly and busy with different activities and the rapport with staff was appropriate and homely. The inspector read some records, policies and procedures and compared these to day reports and other records. The Inspector spoke to some people who live in Eastry Villas, some staff and the team leader. Comment cards were left for people living in the home, staff, families and Health care professionals. An accompanied tour of all three houses comprising Eastry villas was undertaken. What the service does well: There was recorded evidence of health and psychological care being recognised and attended to. Many outside agencies are included in the welfare of people in the home including occupational therapist, psychiatrist, speech and language, agencies for the blind and other health care professionals. Staff have responded well to the needs of different people including supporting one person with sight and hearing loss to walk in the village with confidence. Staff training is robust and staff spoke of how good the company is in providing training. ‘Brilliant’ and ‘unbelievably good’ were said about the amount of training given. There was evidence of training certificates on display in offices. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

Confidential information is secure. EVIDENCE: All three houses in Eastry Villas have care plans that record a wide variety of information about peoples’ individual needs and aspirations. These, as recorded in the previous inspection report, show little evidence of involvement by the individuals. A recommendation is made for these to be reviewed into more person centred plans. The team leader discussed this and staff were also keen to work towards person centred planning and were able to understand the real benefits for individuals. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The team leader has devised a very useful ‘grab’ file for each person and these contain up to date information for quick reference and are user-friendly and are more person centred. Health action plans have also been developed and these are up to date and a good and clear reference for staff. Reviews were being undertaken for all care plans. Risk assessments have identified a wide range of areas for individuals and the team leader agreed to review information to include more detailed information for staff actions. Meetings take place in all three properties in Eastry Villas and some are now based on 1 –1 between the individual living in the home and their key worker. This then may be followed up with another meeting that includes the team leader. Communication in all three houses was noted to be clearly based on peoples’ choices. Although some communication was limited, people were observed letting staff know about their choices. Confidential information is kept in secure environments in all three properties in Eastry Villas.

People know that they can take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities in the home and community. People know their families are welcomed and that friendships are enabled. Menus are varied and may cater for dietary needs. EVIDENCE: There is a purpose built day centre on the site of Eastry Villas and people have the opportunity of attending one or more times a week. The centre offers a variety of activities including craft, jewellery making, woodwork, literacy, telling the time, numeracy, beauty, foot spa, aromatherapy massage, maketon, needlecraft, cookery, and puzzles and music and dancing.

One person has a Saturday morning job in a local pub and one person is currently looking for a job. Three people attend college. One person is working towards independence. Meals are usually taken with the staff and lunch was observed to be casual and relaxed and inclusive of all the people living in the home. A visitor, who used to live in the house, had also been invited to stay for lunch to meet her friends. The visitor said she wanted to return to meet her friends and had been supported by staff to do so. All three kitchens were clean and tidy but there is a need for these especially Mill House, to be maintained for health and safety. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

People know they will be supported in the way they prefer and that their physical and emotional needs will be met. People are protected by medication policies and procedures. EVIDENCE: People living in all three properties in Eastry Villas can expect to have their personal and health care needs sensitively supported by well-trained staff. There is a mix of male and female staff. A key worker system is in place and key workers have responsibility for 1 – 1 meetings to encourage people to voice their opinions and make choices. Staff have identified and risk assessed people who may safely use the kitchens. Several people living in two of the houses offered tea or coffee to the inspector and were able to safely access the kitchens to provide this themselves. Staff try to promote independence for people in their care. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Evidence was seen of how staff in Gore House have enabled a person with sight and hearing loss to be able to go for accompanied walks around the village. This has been done with considerable care and attention to detail such as providing photographs of routes and ‘touch’ areas. This results in all staff knowing how to aid that individuals independence as far as possible and in a manner that promotes confidence and enjoyment of the activity. This is thoughtful and good practice. Since the previous inspection, senior staff have undertaken approved first aid training, this meets a recommendation made at that time. All three houses operate a sound medication administration procedure. Storage is secure. Following medication training, staff must undertake in house training and are re assessed every six months. Health care professionals are involved with different aspects of care of people living in the houses. These include: - an occupational therapist, speech and language therapist, psychiatrist, community nurses, and local gps. Evidence for these was seen recorded in individual documents. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 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. People are protected from harm by policies and procedures and by staff awareness and training about adult protection. EVIDENCE: There are sound complaints procedures and policies in Eastry Villas and complaints procedures are on display. Some staff were able to discuss the adult protection training they had received and were aware of the different forms of abuse. All staff has attended adult protection training. Induction also informs new staff about adult abuse and how to identify it. Complaints will be recorded on a format to indicate the progress and conclusion of any concern raised. Evidence was seen of records of money that is held by Eastry Villas. A sample seen of cash held and corresponding records was accurate. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is adequate This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People live in a homely and comfortable environment but until the new build is completed, some identified repairs being undertaken will improve health and safety. People live in a clean environment. EVIDENCE: An accompanied tour of all three properties in Eastry Villas was undertaken accompanied by the team leader and occasionally staff and people living there. All of the houses in Eastry Villas were clean and tidy but are let down by the general lack of maintenance and redecoration. This has not been undertaken as the houses are waiting for building work to be undertaken in the very near future. Major building works are due to start in February 2008. All three properties in Eastry Villas will be having some work done including altering room layouts and installing en-suites to all bedrooms and increasing lounge, dining and Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 activity spaces. This will be of great benefit to the people living in the houses and will enhance their lifestyles. The team leader and some staff said they had lots of plans for decoration and for improved activities including a sensory room when the building work is complete. In the meantime some areas especially the kitchen in Mill House and some wooden pipe covering in a bathroom must be attended to for safety. The team leader agreed to organise repair of the pipe covering immediately. The kitchen has few remaining doors or drawer fronts and this can cause a hygiene problem as it allows the contents to become dirty through general heat and steam found in any working kitchen and through movement of people in and out of the kitchen. It also looks very unsightly and does not enhance an otherwise homely environment. Although it is recognised that this is has not been maintained because of the building plans, a recommendation is made for suitable covering for these areas. It is a credit to the staff that the kitchen remains as clean as it is in these circumstances. Despite the lack of refurbishment, the staff have encouraged people to arrange their own rooms to suit their individual choices and these were very homely and personal. Forge House has two people living there and both were very welcoming during the inspectors visit. Staff were encouraging to one person who eagerly awaited football information on the tv. The house has a small front garden and is situated on the main road by similar properties nearby. Not all windows have restrictors on and some were seen to be wide open with enough space for people to fall from. Although some risk assessments have been made, a requirement is made for these to be reviewed including possible access by other residents in any individuals’ bedroom. Staff undertake infection control training. Laundry is mostly undertaken in the main co-owned house on the site and some laundry is undertaken in the houses. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 32, 34 and 35 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. People are supported by competent and well trained staff. People are protected by the homes recruitment procedure. EVIDENCE: Staff files could not be seen as the Registered Manager was on leave and the files are secured in her office. Some staff confirmed that they had had to provide references and CRB checks before starting employment. The team leader said that she always followed up references with a telephone call. New staff receive induction training and an example of an induction book was seen. New staff have to shadow another member of staff for two weeks before working on their own. Supervision is undertaken regularly. Staff said that the training given by the company is very good. One member of staff said it was ‘excellent’ another said it the amount of training provided Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 by the company was ‘unbelievably good’. There was evidence of certificates on display in offices for a wide selection of training courses. More than 50 of the staff has achieved or are completing NVQ 2 or 3 and others are due to start. Two new staff are being recruited to cover maternity leave. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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): Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People benefit from a well run home and know their views are sought depending on individual understanding and communication. Peoples’ health and safety will be improved when some maintenance is completed. EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager is qualified and is manages all three of the homes making up Eastry Villas. Staff said she was supportive and approachable. The Registered Manager was on leave at the time of the inspection and some confidential records such as staff files, were therefore not available as they were locked in her office. Eastry Villas DS0000048300.V358702.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 A senior member of staff and support workers are based in each home. A senior member of staff said that Eastry Villas had recently reformed dedicated teams for each property and this was an improvement on the previous system of staff working wherever they were needed. The senior went on to say that this meant people living in the home had a consistent group of staff caring for them. There is a mix of male and female staff in Eastry Villas. A team leader manages all three groups of seniors and support workers and is overseen by the Registered Manager. The Registered Manager has regular meetings with the team leader. A quality audit is undertaken regularly including medication, finance, health and safety and care plans. A senior member of staff confirmed that although seniors and support workers made the changes to care plans as they were required, they were then approved by the company’ s ‘client care department’. The client care department may also be contacted if staff has any query about the health and welfare of person living in Eastry Villas. Although the team leader could not confirm if the results of audits were collated and an annual report written, she believed that the Registered Manager was currently reviewing this. No maintenance certificates were available to be seen at this visit, however, the last report states that all equipment is regularly serviced. The fire log and assessments were up to date. Some general repair will benefit people until the proposed building is completed. Staff and seniors and the team leader have regular meetings including 1 –1 between key workers and people who live in the home.
