Residents have access to everything they might need to live a comfortable life. If something is needed, relevant to a person`s health and well-being arrangements are made for it to be obtained. The premises are clean and safe and the standard of the accommodation is good. There have been few staff changes, so residents are looked after, by people they know and can trust. Staff are well trained and show commitment towards giving good care to the residents. Records are kept to a good standard. There are additional checks and procedures in place to ensure everything is properly accounted for. Relatives are made welcome and are always consulted and involved. What has improved since the last inspection? The information in the service user guide had been reviewed and updated. The times of the medication round had been changed so as not to interrupt mealtimes. The home has purchased a computer for any resident who wishes to use it. What the care home could do better: Information stated on the AQAA indicates that the home is planning to make further changes as a result of listening to people who use the service by introducing life plans and diaries, by involving residents in interviews of new staff, and redecoration of first floor lounge and bedrooms.

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 star. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes.
This inspection which included a site visit which the home did not know was going to happen, was conducted over a six-hour period. At the time of the inspection the registered manager was on sick leave, the acting manager was available to assist with the inspection. Part of the time was spent in the office looking at the information the home holds on residents (care plans) and other records the home needs to keep to ensure that the home is being properly run. The rest of the time was spent talking with residents, a relative and staff and looking around the home. Prior to the inspection the home was sent an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment form (AQAA). This was completed and returned to the CSCI. This information tells the inspector about how the home is meeting the National Minimum Standards, what they do well at, and in what areas they need to improve. To gather more information about the home and the services provided comment cards were sent to residents, relatives and staff and to other people such as doctors and district nurses. Six residents, two relatives and nine staff completed comment cards. One resident said, “ There is always a good selection and plenty of food”, the resident went on to say, “ I am as happy as I can be here.” Residents added no further comments however the responses indicate overall satisfaction of the home and the services provided. One relative said, “ The home creates as much of a homely feeling as possible. They are always kind and caring with everyone, they are cheerful and nothing is too much trouble. I can only express my thanks to all the staff at Lakelands”. Staff response to comment cards was good; they indicated that the training they receive was relevant to their role. One member of staff said, “ My induction was very thorough and I have been offered many different training courses”. With regard to what the service does well, one member of staff has written, ‘ the home is very person orientated, it’s very friendly and we all pull together as a team’. During a conversation with a resident who was on a short term placement, initially for one week, the resident told the inspector he was delighted with the care he had received and was extending his stay for two more weeks. Complements were made about the dedication of all the staff working at the home and the overall services provided.

Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Lakelands DS0000005775.V358341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Choice of Home
The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 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): 1,2,3 and 4 were assessed. Standard 6 does not apply, as Lakelands does not offer an intermediate care service. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home provides residents and their supporters with up to date information about the services provided that helps them in making a decision about moving in to the home. EVIDENCE: The home has a statement of purpose and a service users guide. This is available to prospective residents and it was noted that the information was available in a presentation folder in the residents rooms inspected. The information is clear and concise and informs people of the services and facilities available, about the staff and their qualifications, results of annual surveys and the last CSCI inspection report.
Lakelands DS0000005775.V358341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 We inspected three care plans. Each care plan contained a pre admission assessment to ensure that the resident’s health, personal and social care needs could be met. The assessment was detailed and covers areas of personal care, physical well-being, risks, diet, sight and communication, foot care, oral hygiene, pain, nutrition, continence, mobility, past and present medical health care, social care and interests. This assessment provides staff with the information they need to ensure the home and staff can meet the individual needs of the resident. Assessments are carried out at the most convenient place for the prospective resident, which could be in their own home or in hospital. All residents are provided with a written contract (statement of terms and conditions) regardless of how their care is purchased. Contracts were kept in a separate file in a secure location. The contacts of the three residents care plans examined were looked at and contained all the relevant information as required. A fourth contract for a resident on respite was also examined and the dates had been extended due to the residents extended stay at Lakelands. The home is providing care for some residents with a dementia related illness and for residents with mental health problems. The staff have undertaken training in dementia to ensure that they have an awareness and an understanding of the different types of dementia and can provide the necessary care. The staff have worked exceptionally well in ensuring that some residents with mental health problems are receiving the level of care required and that the input from the appropriate outside agencies had been obtained and their advice acted up on. This has enabled the residents to remain at Lakelands where they appeared to be happy and settled and had formed good relationships with staff. Lakelands DS0000005775.V358341.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): 7,8,9 and 10 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans are clear and concise and provide staff with the information they need to meet the needs of the residents. Personal support is offered in such a way as to promote resident’s privacy and dignity. EVIDENCE: Inspection of the three care plans showed the information contained in the plans gave staff detailed information about the care each resident required. The plans are written in a person centred manner, for example, ‘ I am able to’ or ‘ I need help with’. Care plans written in this way include the resident in building up the plan and informs the staff so they know what the resident can do for themselves and what they need assistance with. Lakelands DS0000005775.V358341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The care plans contained activity pursuits such as times of rising and retiring, naps during the day and the desired time of breakfast. General activity preferences were seen in care plans which included what the residents liked to do during the day such as cards and other games, arts and crafts, exercise, watch television, listen to music, going on trips out, gardening, spending time chatting with people etc. Each file contained a social profile, which gives staff some background about the residents they are caring for and about their life experiences, for example where they were born, different addresses lived at, family members and friends, school days, work places, memories (war service), social interests and hobbies. What would be their perfect day and any aims or aspirations that they may have. Other information of daily living includes risks assessment for example the risk of falls and mobility, nutrition, pressure care and moving and handling. Regular monitoring of weights and bathing was also noted. Accident reports were seen in care plans and the daily progress notes were completed by staff. Files contained information and consent forms for the use of homely remedies such as paracetamol and for the taking of the resident’s photographs. The care plans had been updated monthly as required and where possible signed by the resident. There was evidence to demonstrate that outside agencies had been contacted such as the doctor, district nurse, chiropodist, the mental health team and continence adviser who all visit the home as required. Observations throughout the inspection showed that the personal care needs of the residents were being met. Attention to all residents was given to personal grooming, residents were seen to be clean and clothes nicely washed and ironed and were coordinated. On the day of the inspection the hairdresser was visiting and ladies were seen having their hair done. Staff were seen knocking on bedrooms doors and toilet doors and waiting for a response before entering. Staff were heard speaking with residents in a friendly and respectful manner. It was evident that good relationships had been formed. One resident told the inspector, “I have no complaints, the staff are great, the food is good, I would recommend this home to anyone, the way you are treated is first class.” The senior carer gave out the lunch medication; this was done swiftly and efficiently. Residents were given tablets in an appropriate manner and offered a drink to help them swallow them. Medication given was immediately recorded on the individual’s drug sheet.

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 and 15 were assessed. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents are offered a wide and varied range of activities to meet their capabilities and expectations. Residents are provided with well-cooked food, which they like, in good portions and times that suit them. EVIDENCE: The home has designated staff members that, with the help of residents plan and deliver a wide range of activities. The activity programme is displayed so that residents and relatives know what’s going on. Activities include bingo, quizzes, dominoes, gentle exercise, range of movies and trips out. The home has also purchased a computer should any resident want to use it; staff are available to assist if needed. The home has a residents monthly magazine with quizzes, word searches and information re birthdays, celebrations etc. Relatives are welcomed and encouraged to join in with any of the activities or outings if they wish.
Lakelands DS0000005775.V358341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Visitors are welcome to the home at any time; there are no restrictions as to when people can visit. Residents can meet with their visitors in the communal areas or in the privacy of their own rooms. Only one visitor was available to speak with the inspector and the relative was very complementary about the way the home was managed and the quality of care provided. The returned relatives comment cards expressed satisfaction of the standard of the home, the commitment of the staff and facilities provided. The manager has acknowledged on the retuned AQAA form that home would benefit from more involvement with community links, and with more input from advocacy services. Where possible residents go out to local shops and the home has regular visit from the local clergy. Residents are encouraged to make their own choices about what time they get up and what time they wish to retire. When asked about who decides what clothes to put on each day a resident confirmed that it was her decision she picked what she wanted to wear. Another had informed staff that he did not want to get up; he was having a day in bed. Staff respected the resident’s choice but checked on a regular basis to make sure he was alright and took his meals and drinks to his room for him. A flexible breakfast is served to allow residents to get up at their leisure. The inspector observed that breakfast was still being served mid morning. There is a choice of hot and cold breakfast dishes served including cereals, porridge, bacon, eggs, toast and preserves and choices of drinks are available. At lunchtime residents were offered choices of corned beef hash with beetroot, bread and butter, soup and sandwiches, followed by fairy cakes. The main meal is served early evening and residents were to be offered steak and kidney pie, potatoes, broccoli and carrots, followed by a dessert of cherry crumble and ice cream. Residents spoken with after lunch confirmed that the food was very good, that there was plenty to eat with choices available at every meal. The menus were clearly displayed for residents and relatives to see what choices were available on a daily basis. The inspector noted that the tables were nicely set for each meal with appropriate cutlery and crockery, condiments and napkins.

EVIDENCE: The registered manager has been on sick leave for some time. The acting manager currently running the home has a considerable amount of experience in working with the elderly and is very capable and competent in continuing to manage Lakelands ensuring that high standards are being sustained. Lakelands DS0000005775.V358341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 The way in, which the home is managed, and run is open and transparent. The home operates an ‘open door’ policy so that the acting manager can be approached at any time by staff, residents or relatives. The office is well organised so that staff have access to all the paperwork and contact information they need during a shift. The home usually has administrative support. Unfortunately the administrator was off sick and help and support is being provided as needed by administrators from other CLS homes. There are good systems of continuous self-monitoring within the home, which includes home audits, consultation and meetings with staff and residents, surveys and satisfaction questionnaires. Some residents living at Lakelands have handed over the responsibility for their financial affairs to their families but keep a small amount of money with the acting manager for safekeeping. We checked the money of the residents whose care plans we had examined and found it to be in order and matching the written records of transactions. Records kept and required by regulation were seen to be in good order and up to date. All records are kept securely stored. The records showed that staff are trained in safe working practices and training is updated at regular intervals. Equipment and systems used in the home are serviced and maintained, and records were available. Repairs are carried out by the company (CLS), and other maintenance and service contracts are in place. The home benefits from the services of a handyman. Information provided on the returned AQAA form indicates that the following checks had taken place: Portable electrical equipment – August 2007 Lift – October 2007 Gas – May 2007 Fire detection – May 2007 Hoists – May 2007. The inspector randomly checked some of this information and certificates were seen to be up to date and valid. Other maintenance checks on fire alarms, water temperature etc are carried out on a regular basis and recorded.
