What the care home does well The registered manager and staff group have responded well to the requirements set at the last key inspection. Highgrove continues to provide easy access to a variety of communal areas. Bedrooms are comfortably furnished and suit the needs of their occupants. It is evident that people who use the service have brought items of furniture, photographs, ornaments and pictures with them to make their rooms more "homely" and, as a result, bedrooms are highly personalised. A system is in place for dealing with any complaints, people who use the service expressed a degree of confidence that complaints would be listened to and dealt with appropriately. All spoken to were able to identify the registered manager. Staff are on duty throughout the day and night in numbers that are sufficient to ensure the safety of residents in the home and staff training is provided to a satisfactory level. Staff are safely recruited into positions at Highgrove, the process ensures that all relevant checks are carried out with regard to a potential employees suitability. What has improved since the last inspection? The management and staff have made good progress in addressing the shortfalls noted in the previous inspection. The initial assessment and care planning process has been reviewed and people who live at the service now have their needs suitably documented. The management has now established a system for reviewing and improving the quality of care in the home. Written additions to the medication administration record are now signed, the controlled drug cabinet is now secured to the wall. An appointed person who is qualified in first aid is on duty at all times to ensure people receive prompt attention when required, infection control issues have improved. The management arrangements have been formalised and an application for a joint management of the home has now been made. What the care home could do better: The administration of medication via the per required needs route needs to be better regulated to ensure the protection of all those who require assistance. How people are assisted at dinner could be better managed to ensure that people who use the service have a positive experience. The management need to ensure that they have good documentation with regards to the fitness of agency staff. It would benefit those who use the service if staff had regular managed supervision.

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): 1,3,6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The management carry out an initial assessment of need to ensure that they can fully meet the needs of the prospective resident. Intermediate care is not a feature of this service EVIDENCE: The inspector reviewed the Statement of Purpose and Service user guide and found that they gave a good account of the services on offer at Highgrove. The manager generally ensures that arrangements are made to carry out an assessment of need, which in the main is completed prior to any person moving into the home. With the introduction of new assessment documentation the gaps in the process that were found at the last inspection have now been addressed. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 The inspector was informed that no new individuals had taken up permanent residency but the management had recently assessed the suitability of a person to come to the Highgrove on a respite basis. The documents sampled were in-depth and explored all areas of the persons well being including areas such as their social and emotional needs. The documents also demonstrated that the individual and people important to them had been consulted about the respite admission. At previous inspections it has been established through discussion with the people who use the service that prospective residents and their families are invited to visit the home prior to admission to establish if the home would suit their needs. The manager informed the inspector that the home does not offer intermediate care. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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): 7,8,9,10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans illustrate people’s needs enabling staff to meet them Staff treat residents with respect and dignity, promoting residents’ feelings of worth as valued members of the household. The home has systems in place for managing residents’ medicines but some aspects need improving to protect residents. EVIDENCE: The inspector looked at the care planning documentation. All but one of the current resident group have had their needs reassessed by the management and an initial care plan regenerated. The details on file now include information about the person from a social prospective identifying their likes and interests. The management informed the inspector of the forthcoming plans to get more Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 social history relating to the individual from the person themselves and people important to them. Issues relating to the individuals medical needs such as the condition of peoples skin in relation to pressure ulcers are now being fully assessed. The results of assessments are being recorded and action taken to ensure a proactive stance to care is made. Daily fluid and food intake charts are regularly maintained where appropriate. Records now evidence visits by doctors and other health care professionals. The observations in relation to the care planning represent a good response to the requirements set at previous inspections. Now that they have a care plan to work with the management informed the inspector that they can now begin to review the plans and are planning to hold formal reviews for all residents where, if appropriate, other people important to the resident can comment and agree the plans made on their behalf. Improvements had been made to medication practices following the last inspection. Medication was stored securely, a controlled drugs cabinet is now securely bolted to a solid wall. A medication policy was available to all staff who administer medication and they had signed a copy of this. Medication changes were recorded on a sheet at the front of the medication administration record file and all residents were identified with photographs. Medication administration records had been correctly completed. The controlled drugs were briefly audited and found to be correct. Weekly medicine audits continue to ensure that all medicines in the home are accounted for. Staff were observed administering medicines in a safe and caring manner. One area in relation to medication that needs improvement is relating to Per Required Needs medication as there was no recorded rationale for administration via this route for example, pain killers were often prescribed and dispensed for pain relief but there was no associated documentation to described what type of pain or its location. This may lead to staff dispensing medication for pain that has yet to be diagnosed for example originally given for back pain but as staff do not have guidance individuals may be asking or taking pain relief for pains in the legs. The management of the home acknowledged the inspectors observations relating to this matter. The inspector talked with some of the people who use the service and visiting relatives. These people expressed how much they appreciated the care staff and that they considered that they were treated with respect and dignity. It was clear from observation and the time spent with those who use the service that they feel comfortable and at ease with staff. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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): 12,13,14,15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The pace of life appears to suit the resident’s expectations and aspirations. Visitors are welcomed and individuals are assisted with maintaining contact with relatives and friends. The food is home cooked and offers a balanced diet to those who live at Highgrove. EVIDENCE: People who use the service were observed in a number of different locations. They choose when to get up and when to retire. They have free access to their bedroom and communal facilities. Those who use the service are able to meet privately with visitors either in their rooms or in a designated lounge. Those who were spoken with indicated that they were happy with their life in the home and confirmed having freedom of movement and that staff support them in following their preferred lifestyle. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 The inspector discussed with the individuals how they spend their day and what activities were available. It was established that some afternoons there are activities, some are enjoyed others are not, but in the main all considered there was some thing to do if you wished too. Two visiting relatives expressed satisfaction with the many aspects of “home” life but both identified social stimulation as a shortfall that they wished could be addressed. As reported in the personal care section of this report there is some recognition that the home needs to be more to identify social histories and personal interests in order to be able to plan activities based on individual’s aspirations and interests. Visitors were observed entering or leaving the home. All visitors were warmly welcomed. People’s records and the visitor’s book in the entrance hall demonstrate contact with family and friends as well as visits by professionals. The menu of the day was displayed there was a good choice of main and sweet dishes, both for lunch and tea. Meal choices included special diets. The majority of the meals were served at in the dinning room; some individuals were assisted to eat in the main lounge. The inspector observed the staff who were assisting people and noticed that they did not stay with the person they were assisting for the mealtime period often getting up to help others or to go to the main kitchen. Some more thought was given to how people are assisted at this time to reflect a more person centred approach. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16,18 Quality in this outcome area is good This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Policies and procedures are in place to protect the residents living at the home To ensure that any incidents will be managed appropriately staff training in adult protection needs to continue. EVIDENCE: The people who the inspector spoke with informed them that they felt able to complain and said they would have no concerns complaining to any staff member should they have need to. They felt that the management and staff are very approachable and will deal with any issues, no matter how minor, there and then if they could. The management also confirmed that an adult protection policy is in place with procedures detailed for contacting the appropriate authorities should any concerns or allegations be made and that this had not changed since the last inspection Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26.

JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,22,23,26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents benefit from comfortable, safe and well maintained surroundings. Resident can personalise their private space and contribute to the décor of communal areas. Residents benefit from a home that is generally maintained in a clean and tidy condition. EVIDENCE: There is evidence of investment around the home with general maintenance, decoration and refurbishment and residents live in comfortable, warm surroundings with a domestic, homely feel. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The home’s laundry provides adequate facilities. A review of soiled linen storage in the home has been made since the last inspection and new containers introduced so that soiled linen does not pose an infection control issue. The staff toilet that had been leaking at the last inspection has been repaired. The inspector toured the premises accompanied when they first entered the home inspecting a number of communal areas. They found that the home was generally clean in all areas observed. It was noted that all toilet and bathrooms were found to be clean and hygienic. The grounds of the building were not inspected on this occasion. Bedrooms are situated on the ground and first floors. There is no passenger lift at present or stair lift so the first floor rooms are only suitable for those who can easily climb the stairs. There is a dining room, large lounge and also a large conservatory all of which are well furnished and equipped. Aids and equipment are available for residents who may have disabilities, to help promote independence.

Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29,30 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The staff team are knowledgeable with regards to the people who use the service needs. There are sufficient staff on the rota to meet the current needs of the people who live there. EVIDENCE: The inspector talked with the staff on duty who were knowledgeable with regards to how to meet the needs of the people who live in the home. Residents confirmed that the staff meet their individual needs in a way that suites them. They further commented that if they use the call system a member of staff would attend to them without too much delay. The staff files that were sampled contained sufficient detail with which to establish the prospective employees suitability for the job, but if the home uses agency staff they need to evidence that they have been supplied with sufficient information to establish the temporary staffs fitness to work at the home. The management acknowledged this point. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The files sampled continue to indicate that staff have undertaken mandatory training in areas such as Moving and Handling, Food Hygiene, Infection Control and general vulnerable adults issues. Some staff have also attended various day courses and are undertaking the NVQ Award in Care at varying levels. There is evidence that staff have a formal induction into the home and its care practices. Staff stated that they enjoyed working at the home, and received appropriate support. Through discussion with the staff group and by observing the people who use the service it is reasonably clear that the staff team have empathy for the people who live at the home. The training matrix supplied by the management of the home indicates that staff have been trained in areas such as food hygiene, first aid, Health and Safety. The rota supplied also indicated that a member of staff who has been trained with regards to first aid is always on duty. The matrix supplied indicated a need for some staff to have training in fire safety, infection control and working with people with dementia. The management reassured the inspector that his would be addressed shortly. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. 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): 31,33,35,38 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The management team at the service provide good leadership. The staff team would benefit from formal supervision to improve the outcomes for those who use the service. EVIDENCE: Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The management and staff group have responded well to the requirements set at the last key inspection. The designated manager has been in post for some time now and it would appear that the lack of positive leadership has now been addressed. At the time of the inspection the designated manager had yet to have made a formal application to become registered. The designated manager explained that they had been collecting the information required and was about to go to the local offices of the Commission to present this documentation. Evidence was available to support these representations. The records at the home have been updated and kept in good order. Records inspected included care records, the complaints log, accidents, medication, staff files, rotas and the fire logbook, training records, safety checks and maintenance. A tour of the premises found a safe and comfortable home free from obvious hazards. Fire safety equipment has been serviced and tested as required. Equipment servicing records have been appropriately maintained. At previous inspections the lack of a quality assurance process’ have caused concern, this has now been addressed and evidence was available that demonstrated people are being consulted about the homes operation. It would be helpful if the management made a statement available to those who have been consulted with regards to the outcome of this work. The feedback from the people who use the service confirmed that they continue to feel a sense of belonging living at the home and gave examples of how staff do that little bit extra to help out. They informed the inspector that they can raise issues with the management, can identify who the manager is and are confident that issues are dealt with promptly and effectively. The inspector looked at the staff files to establish the frequency of formal staff supervision and found this was erratic. The manager acknowledged that more time needs to be allocated to ensuring staff have the opportunities to discuss their own development and work. This is the second time this has been brought to the managements attention. Given the improvements in areas such as care needs assessments and reviews further time to comply with this requirement will be given. The manager informed the inspector that the home holds small amounts of cash for the residents for small items such as toiletries, beverages when outside of the home etc. Examination of records relating to the handling of resident’s money showed these to be in order. Records were held relating to the income, receipt and balances held and any purchases made on behalf of the resident. Highgrove DS0000061344.V368444.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 All substances that could be potentially hazardous to health are handled and stored safely. The records relating to what is on the premises is general kept in good order but some recent purchases need to be included on the product sheets.
