Since the last inspection, care plans have been improved and people are now involved with their care plan or if they are unable to do this, a relative or friend acts on their behalf. People who live here now have a key worker who sees to the specific needs of those residents that they work with. Care plans also reflect new laws relating to residents health and general welfare, as well as their ability to make decisions for themselves. Forms which are used to assess peoples needs have been updated and show any significant or specialist areas of care which are required. Medication is given safely with an accurate record made of when medication was given. Staff working closely with people by explaining what is in their care plans and what changes they would like to make in them. Residents and relatives are able to see a senior nurse or the deputy manager when they so wish and voice their opinions or seek advice. What the care home could do better: There were no requirements or recommendations made as a result of this visit. We made some suggestions to help make things better. We said that an activities organiser should be employed to ensure that all those people in the home are assessed and receive activities of their choice. We also said that the corridor carpet in the dementia unit should be replaced as it looked stained. Before this visit was finished the provider confirmed that the above suggestions would be carried out in the New Year.

The quality rating for this service is two stars. This means that people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This was an unannounced visit and it formed part of a key inspection, focusing on key standards which have the potential to affect the health, safety and welfare of people who use the service. Throughout this report the terms we and us refer to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The visit took into account previous information held by us including the previous inspection report, their service history and records of any incidents that we have been notified of since our last visit. Before we made our visit the manager had returned the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). This gave us information about their own assessment of how well they are meeting standards and their plans to improve aspects of the service. The Commission are trying to improve the way that we engage with people who use services so that we gain a real understanding of their views and experiences of social care services. The main method used to carry out the inspection is called case tracking, which includes following the care of a sample of people through their care records and assessing their care. We spoke with two people who use the service. We spoke with one member of staff and the handyman. We spoke to one visitor as part of the information gathering process. The deputy manager and the operations director was present throughout this visit and they were kept informed of the general outcomes. What the service does well: A visitor told us that people in this home are well cared for by a committed and friendly care team. He said that staff treat people with dignity and respect. Staff are well trained and have a good understanding of people’s needs and wishes. They encourage people to make their own choices and decisions and to be as independent as possible. There are good systems in place to make sure people are protected, including staff training, risk assessments and policies; people who use this service have told us that they feel safe living in the home.

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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 1 & 3 Standard 6 is not applicable. People using the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People received a comprehensive assessment, which resulted in their needs being met. EVIDENCE: Residents and their families had been involved in their admission to this home and assessments are carried out by a skilled and trained member of staff. We looked at three care plans and found that some assessments were also available to the home from health care professionals as well as social workers detailing the needs of those residents. The files of those residents who were being case tracked had admission forms which were fully completed, the entries referred to specific and significant/specialist areas of care, which were Holly Tree Lodge Care Home DS0000034136.V378630.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 10 needed. The deputy manager told us that prospective residents are encouraged to visit the home before they make a decision to come and live there. People are also written to by the provider confirming whether their needs can be met by the home or not. We looked at care plans which had assessments about people’s needs and wishes in areas such as mental health, physical health, social preferences, medication and end of life arrangements, as well as nutrition. A relative told us that he had enough information about the home prior to his relative’s admission. He also said that he was fully involved in the admission process and the staff couldn’t do enough for his wife. The home does not provide intermediate care.

Robust medication procedures keep people safe. EVIDENCE: The care plans showed that accident reports and body maps are used for the mapping of any cuts or abrasions to residents. We also looked at risk assessments in resident’s files, which were available, giving details of various risks concerning resident’s health care needs. It was found that risk assessments and permission statements, for people who have the use of a wheelchair in which straps were in use, was documented. Best interest meetings are held with residents, their families and their doctor regarding their care needs and those issues which limit their independence. Holly Tree Lodge Care Home DS0000034136.V378630.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 12 Peoples care plans also confirmed that health care professionals visit the home when required by the residents. Files showed that people are actively involved in their care plans and had signed them. Staff now work as key workers to individual residents and go through care plans with residents and their families. We found that care plans are now kept in peoples bedrooms so that they can look at them when they so wish. We were told by a visitor that he was involved in his wife’s care plan and had attended reviews at the home. He also said ‘my wife has a special mattress and she is turned over by the staff every two hours. They (the staff) have cleared up previous pressure sores’. We were told by a resident that she had seen her doctor on the morning of this visit. She also said that ‘staff are sensitive and gentle with me and when I have a shower they close the door’. One of those care plans which we looked at made reference to new laws about decisions that may affect peoples lifestyles. Care plans were also personalised with residents stating the type of care that they want. The deputy manager said that training is to take place to ensure that all staff are aware of how to assess peoples needs and record this in care plans. She further added that nearly all care plans are up to date. Care plans also showed that people are asked if they wish to be checked at night or not. Those care plans that we looked at showed that peoples dignity and privacy was to be maintained and how this was to be carried out. A record is also kept on how residents wish their privacy and dignity to be maintained. One carer told us that she knew about maintaining the privacy and dignity of residents and treating them with respect. She was also very knowledgeable concerning the general care and welfare of people living in this home. It was noted that staff treated people with respect during this visit and engaged residents’ in a way which was mindful of their dignity. Medication sheets were seen by the inspector and it was found that an accurate record of medication was kept of medicine given on that day. None of the people at this home are able to self medicate at this time. Only nurses give medication and the providers training file evidenced that four nurses are to undertake further training in the administration of medication.
