The quality rating for this care home is: Our judgement for each outcome: three star excellent service Choice of home Health and personal care Daily life and social activities Complaints and protection Environment Staffing Management and administration peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: We have reviewed our practice when making requirements, to improve national consistency. Some requirements from previous inspection reports may have been deleted or carried forward into this report as recommendations but only when it is considered that people who use services are not being put at significant risk of harm. In future, if a requirement is repeated, it is likely that enforcement action will be taken. The last key unannounced inspection was on 25th June 2007. The quality rating for this service is 3 star. This means that the people who use this service experience excellent quality outcomes. An inspection of this care home was carried out on Tuesday 19th June 2009 between 9am and 4pm. The staff, the management, the people using the service or the visitors were not informed of our visit and therefore it was unexpected. Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 27 Ten people who use the service and four visitors were consulted on the day. We also spoke with eight staff that were on duty. A further 15 people using the service, 10 staff and four professionals who came into contact with the people were contacted by post and telephone to obtain their views on the service. Comments received from the surveys have been included in the body of the report. Time was also spent observing and chatting with staff and the people using the service. The registered manager was on duty at the time of our visit. We informed him of our findings throughout the day, which helped both parties to verify and start taking action if and when it was required. The premise was inspected, which included bedrooms of people using the service and communal areas. Private areas i.e. bedrooms, were accessed with the permission of the people and/or the staff at the home so that we respected the peoples wishes. Samples of records such as the care plans, staff recruitment and training files were checked. We would like to thank the people who live at Jasmin Court, their relatives, the staff who took part and the management for their contribution toward this process.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who may wish to use the service are able to access the information they need to make an informed decision about the home. Evidence: We spoke to three visitors and two staff to find out the process for admitting people into the home. We also checked two recently admitted peoples needs assessments, which had been completed by the placing authorities. The following were our findings. The new admissions were referred to the home with a multidisciplinary team assessment from the hospital. The staff said that the manager or one of the senior nurses visited the people at the hospital if they were able to. Usually the admissions were hospital referrals and the staff got to know the service user only at the point of admission. Two relatives said that people had come to live at Jasmin Court through recommendations from relatives. We ascertained that the majority of people using the Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 27 Evidence: service on a permanent basis had come to the home for rehabilitation and returned for long term care since they liked the care. The care staff said that individuals took a different length of time to settle in and some were happy to return to the home since they had good experience when they received rehabilitation. We observed the residents to be contented and comfortable. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 27 Health and personal care These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The health and personal care that people receive is based on their individual needs. The principles of respect, dignity and privacy are put into practice by the staff and monitored by the management of the home. Evidence: We observed the residents during our visit, checked four care plans, consulted with one visiting professional and interviewed five staff on duty. The care plans had been prepared from the individual assessments. There were several examples where the care plans had been changed to reflect the changing needs of the people. During interviews the staff said that they tried to develop a good rapport and gain the trust of the residents so that they were able to settle into the home. They also said that they kept close and regular contact with the relatives which helped people get familiar with the staff. These were some of the comments from the staff, We are mindful of the anxiety relatives must go through when they leave their loved ones with us. We keep them informed of any changes and maintain a friendly relationship. It takes time to get to know the people and their families it must be similar for the residents. We work toward developing a mutual trust. One professional said, I observe what goes on Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 27 Evidence: here when I visit. The staff are very kind and hard working. I see them spending time with the residents. During the tour of the premise we noticed a few residents remaining in their bedrooms. We were informed by the manager, either the service users were too ill or people chose to stay in their rooms. We spoke to three people who were in their bedrooms and they confirmed that it was their choice. The staff told us that none of the residents had pressure sores. We witnessed residents who were prone to developing pressure sores being turned regularly and records maintained by the care staff. Those residents we chatted with were clean and smartly dressed. Some of the residents were seen sitting in the lounge, listening to music, watching TV or chatting to staff/visitors. We noted a sense of calmness within the home. The residents were offered drinks and snacks during the day by care staff. Some residents were encouraged by the care staff to drink plenty. We observed a nurse administering medication to residents in one of the units. We noted before moving on to the next resident s/he made sure the person had taken the medicine. The supplying pharmacist had carried out medication audits and had made some positive comments. The manager said that if recommendation were made they were actioned by the nurses without delay. The nurses said that the disposal of medication was contracted out and it was collected regularly from the home. We received comments with regards to people at the home not being encouraged to self medicate by the nurses. We spoke to three service users who were receiving rehabilitation whether they would like to manage their medicines. They were reluctant and preferred not to. We discussed the comments with the manager. The general practitioner visited the home twice a week and saw people who needed medical attention. During these visits reviews of medication also took place. We sought comments from the general practitioner. She was happy with the care the people received and the commitment shown by staff. She said that the visits helped her maintain contact with the residents and review their medical management. Four residents and two relatives said that the staff were prompt in attending when Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 27 Evidence: they rang for help. One person said, If the staff are late it is because they cant always leave what they are doing. I know that. We observed staff discreetly toileting service users before meals. The care staff said that they had support and training on end of life care of residents and also how to take care of the relatives. The care staff said, I make sure they are treated just like all the other residents. We keep them clean and comfortable and the family are kept informed. We stay with them if the family are not around. Sometimes it could be difficult when we are busy. We are a good team and we always help each other if that happened. Two relatives made the following comments. I cant tell you how much the staff here, have helped my X. They need a medal for the way they have supported my X. They are all angels. I have visited different homes; but at Jasmin Court everyone including the manager support residents and are friendly when we visit the home. All the staff know us and they are so professional nothing is too much for them. They are always happy to go that extra mile. I will give them nine and a half out of ten for the service they provide. Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 27 Daily life and social activities These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives. They are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. People have nutritious and attractive meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this 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 who live in Jasmin Court are able to make choices about their lifestyle, and are supported to maintain and improve their life skills. Arrangements for social, cultural and recreational activities need to reflect the expectations of the people living at the home to alleviate boredom. Evidence: On the day of our visit the residents said that the activities person Y worked part time and that they enjoyed having time with her. This was some of the feedback we received. I like going out. I am not keen on the games and activities they do. Can you do any thing about it? I like it when Y is around. She is very good and spends time with me. She does craft work with me. I know carers are too busy they dont have time to chat wish they could. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 27 Evidence: We used to be able to use our mini bus to go out. But it has disappeared. This home is tucked away and its difficult to get out about. I need help with walking, thats a nuisance. I like going out and my family take me out when they can. It is difficult for staff to take me out. We saw relatives visiting during the day. They were made welcome by the staff at the home. The visitors told us that they could speak to the residents in private in their individual bedrooms. The relatives were very positive about the staff and the manager and praised them for their support and care. We saw lunch being served to residents and we had lunch at the home. Meals were brought to the dining area by the kitchen staff. They served the meals but the care staff took the meals up to the residents and gave them assistance. One of the care staff took the meals to those who were in their bedrooms in a trolley. The staff working on each floor made sure that people received help during their mealtimes. The food was hot and well presented. A hot sweet was an option. Yogurts and fruits were made available to all. The residents said that they enjoyed their meals and that the food was nice. Three visitors confirmed that the meals served at the home were varied and the puddings were lovely. Food supplements were given to those who were unable to have a wholesome diet.

Evidence: We checked the complaints records; we spoke with the visitors and the staff to find out how the management handled formal complaints. The complaints had been investigated and reports had been prepared with action points to make improvements when the issues raised had been upheld. We were informed by the staff when concerns were raised by the relatives, they try to correct the issues immediately if possible and let the nurse or the manager know of the complaint. Three relatives were asked for their comments. They said that the manager was around most of the time and the open door policy to the office helped them discuss any problems before they got out of context. Four staff training records were checked and there was evidence that the staff had received training on Protection Of Vulnerable Adults. The staff were able to tell us what actions they would take if they were to witness any type of abuse at the home. These were some comments from the people using the service. We are well looked after and the staff are respectful and caring. Care Homes for Older People Page 17 of 27 Evidence: My family takes care of my finances. They give the administrator some spending money which I can get anytime I want. I understand what abuse is. Here the nurses and the care staff look after us so well. I dont think I in am any danger.
