Prior to this inspection the manager had completed and returned the Annual Quality Assessment Audit (AQAA) that we had requested for the Annual Service Review that took place in December of last year. The AQAA is a selfassessment that focuses on how well outcomes are being met for people using the service. It also gave us some numerical information about the service. We also sent surveys out to some of the people who live in the home, their relatives and to staff. We received 5 back from relatives, 10 from those living in the home and 8 from members of staff.

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): Standards 2, 3, 4, & 5 were assessed. Standard 6 is not applicable to this service. Standards Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has a sound admission process, which ensures people are in the right place and are helped to settle in quickly. EVIDENCE: Peoples’ health, personal and social care needs are assessed prior to them being offered a place in the home. This is to ensure the home is suitable for them and that staff will be able to meet all their care needs. The manager or deputy manager complete all the assessments and always take into account the needs and dependency of those already living in the home before offering a place. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 All residents have a contract and terms and conditions of residency with a copy kept on their file and one available for each individual. Prospective residents and/or their relatives are invited and encouraged to visit the home to view the facilities and accommodation. This also gives opportunity to meet the management and staff. Some residents have enjoyed a short stay break at the home before moving in. Discussions with the deputy manager/head of care confirmed that staff do all they can to make the moving in process as easy and pleasant as possible. The service does not provide intermediate care. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Health and Personal Care The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. 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): Standard 7, 8, 9, 10 & 11 were assessed. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans are thoroughly detailed with specific health and social care needs clearly identified. It is evident that peoples’ assessed needs are being appropriately met with privacy, respect and dignity. EVIDENCE: The care plans for four of those living in the home were examined during the visit and found to be well detailed and up to date. There was evidence that they are regularly reviewed and all contained relevant information and guidance on how to provide the support and care to meet the individual needs. Wherever possible residents are involved in the care planning process and sign their care plans. All care plans were developed from the initial assessment of needs and the home uses the ‘Waterlow’ system to help complete this initial assessment. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 This assessment looks at the ongoing needs in detail in order to ascertain the level of care required. Any changes are noted immediately and the level of care provided is adjusted accordingly. The home has an ‘end of life’ policy and procedure in place for both expected and unexpected events. External training has been completed and the ‘Liverpool Care Pathway’ care plan is put into place as soon as this is required. Staff have also received training in ‘end of life care’. The manager confirmed that the local G P surgeries give an excellent service to the home and we were able to speak to one of the doctors during our visit. There was evidence that staff had taken on board advice from these professionals and incorporated any necessary information into the person’s care plan. The district nurses keep a file at the home on those residents they are visiting, which means that up to date information is always to hand. Other professional healthcare is also to hand via physiotherapists, occupational therapists and community psychiatric nurses. All doctors’ visits take place in the privacy of the resident’s room to ensure dignity is maintained at all times. We observed the interaction between the staff and those living in the home and found it to be warm and relaxed. It was obvious that the staff and management knew the residents very well and enjoyed a joke with them whilst still preserving their dignity. The residents responded well to the attitude of the staff. Residents we spoke to during the visit told us they were happy with the care and support they received and some of their comments included, • • • ‘ The girls are so lovely and very helpful’ ‘I can see my doctor whenever I want to’ ‘ The staff are wonderful and always pleasant’ Comments on the returned surveys included, • • ‘The staff listen to what I say’ ‘The staff are available when I need them’ The doctor we spoke to during the visit told us it was a pleasure to visit the home and found the care to be excellent. We checked the medication records and found them all to be in order. The medication is supplied by a local pharmacy in a monitored dosage system. All the staff who are responsible for giving medication have been trained to level 2. The Commission have not received any notification of any errors and the records confirmed this. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Although there are currently no prescribed controlled drugs there is a policy in place to deal with these and the correct recording paperwork. All returned medication is listed and signed for when collected from the home. The dispenser from the pharmacy visits regularly to check the records and also conducts an annual audit. The deputy manager confirmed that the home makes every effort to keep the medications held at the home to a minimum to reduce, as far as possible, any waste. This is with particular reference to medication prescribed ‘as required’. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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): Standards 12, 13, 14 & 15 were assessed Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People are free to spend their days as they chose and are enabled to join in with group activities or pursue their own interests. The provision of meals was highly praised both for choice and quality. EVIDENCE: The routines in the home are very flexible. People are able to choose how to spend their day, with some making full use of the communal rooms, whilst others choose to stay in their bedrooms and just come out for meals. The flexibility is always within the remit of the care plan and assessed needs. Some residents had their breakfast, which is served between 8am and 10am, in their rooms. They told us that this enabled them to “take their time to get up and about”. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 There are activities provided for those wishing to join in although some residents do prefer to sit in their rooms reading or watching television. The July programme included, bingo, a film afternoon, board games, a beetle drive, tai chi and weekly visits from the hairdresser. There are daily walks in the garden or into town for a coffee when the weather permits. There is also a resident’s newspaper produced on a regular basis with copies on display around the home. Religious support is provided through communion whenever possible and visits from the local minister. There are always plenty of visitors to the home and they are always made very welcome. Comments received via the returned survey forms included, • • • ‘I think my parents are very happy at Hartland House’ ‘ They provide good food, assistance and good care’. ‘ Hartland House has staff who have the necessary patience, compassion and understanding to look after the elderly’.

Copies are also on display about the home. There is a complaints log but there have been none to record and the Commission have not received any either. The last complaint received by the home was a minor internal matter, which was settled within 10 days of being raised. The documentation was produced for us to examine. When we spoke to residents they told us they would speak to Derek (manager) or Suzanne (head of care/deputy). People knew how to raise concerns or complaints and were confident that management would address any worries promptly. People felt safe and well cared for and said that staff listened and acted on what they said. Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Staff receive training on safeguarding people as part of their induction and National Vocational Qualification course. There were also specific in-house training days available on safeguarding and protection. Training in abuse and challenging behaviour has been completed at Kendal College. Through discussion with staff it was evident that people understood the principles of safeguarding and were aware of local reporting procedures.

EVIDENCE: We conducted a tour of the building and throughout it was found to be of an excellent standard with high quality furniture and fittings. The manager and/or deputy conduct regular inspections of the home and note any repairs that may be required. One of the lounges has been completely refurbished, including carpets and curtains and bedrooms have been redecorated when required.

EVIDENCE: The staffing arrangements within the home are very good with 4 members of care staff on duty from 7.45am to 3.30pm and 3 care staff on duty from 2.30pm until 10.00pm. In addition there is a lead senior and a care coordinator on duty plus the manager and deputy/care manager.

Hartland House DS0000022645.V367084.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 There is an in-depth recruitment and selection process with no member of staff starting work before all the legal checks, including enhanced criminal records bureau, are completed. National Vocational Qualification training is ongoing with over 80 of the staff qualified to levels 2 and 3. The deputy manager is qualified to level 4 and is currently studying for the Registered Manager Award. All of this results in a diverse staff team that has the balance of skills and experience to meet the needs of people living in the home. Discussions with the staff evidenced that they all work as a team and support each other, although they are aware of their own roles and responsibilities.

There is a very open atmosphere in the home that stems from the manager and the head of care, who also is the deputy manager, and is much appreciated by those living and working in Hartland House. The manager has been instrumental in ensuring that members of the house committee take an active part in the running of the home and complete monthly audit reports. Copies of these are forwarded to CSCI. Quality audit questionnaires are completed by relatives/visitors, professional agencies and residents, after which the manager prepares an audit report and looks closely at any issues raised. Residents’ meetings are held, which give opportunity for those attending to share their views and make any suggestions about the running of the home. There is no personal allowance monies held on behalf of any of the residents so this standard was not applicable at this time. Staff supervision is ongoing and completed every 2 months.
