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: The charges at the home when we visited on 19 March 2010 ranged from £480 - £505 per week. Additional charges are made for hairdressing, chiropody and newspapers. This inspection was carried out to assess the quality of care provided to people living at the home. The manager completed an annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA), which provided us with information about the service. We have used some of that information in this report. The inspection process included looking at the information we have received about the home since the last key inspection as well as a visit to the home, which lasted approximately 4 hours. Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 24 During the visit we spoke to 3 people living in the home, 2 members of staff, the owners and the manager. We also observed staff delivering care, looked at various records and looked around the home. Surveys were sent to 10 people living in the home, 10 staff and 5 health care professionals; these cards provide an opportunity for people to share their views of the service with us. Information received in this way is shared with the home without identifying who has provided it. Nine people using the service, or their relative on their behalf, and four members of staff wrote to us with their comments. Their comments have been used in this report. 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 the service 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.

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 good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People can visit the home to see for themselves if they think it is suitable. No one moves into the home unless staff are sure they can meet their needs. Evidence: A member of staff from Langlea House will go and assess anyone thinking of moving into the home. There is an assessment document that staff complete, which means that peoples needs are identified and that staff are sure they can meet those needs before people move in. We looked at the files for two people and found all of the assessment information we would expect, together with a care plan for each. In the surveys everyone said that they had enough information about the home before they moved in. People are encouraged to come and have a look at the home themselves, before they moving so they can see for themselves if they think it is suitable. It also gives them the opportunity to ask questions about day to day life within the home and meet other people living there and staff. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 24 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 good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Peoples health and personal care needs are being met. Evidence: We looked at two care plans because we wanted to see what individual needs had been identified and what action staff have to take to meet these needs. We found that the care plans were detailed and easy to follow. All of the necessary risk assessments have been completed and staff are writing down what they have done to reduce or eliminate that risk. For example one person had been identified as being at risk of not returning to the home if they went out so that they need to have a staff member to escort them. Peoples health care needs are being identified and met. Staff are vigilant and GPs and other health care professionals are being involved as necessary. Details of any visits by health care professionals are clearly documented in the residents care plan, together with the advice that has been given. In the surveys people told us that they get the medical support they need. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 24 Evidence: People looked well cared for and we saw that men had been shaved, peoples hair brushed or combed, spectacles were clean and peoples personal and oral hygiene was well maintained. In the surveys people told us that they get the care and support they need and that staff listen and act upon what they say. Two people we spoke to both said the staff are kind and will do anything you ask. The medication system is well managed. We looked at the records and could see that people are receiving their medication at the prescribed times. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 24 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 excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. There are activities on offer that are keeping people stimulated and active. Meals at the home are good and mealtimes are social occasions. Evidence: People told us that they can follow their own routines and can get up and go to bed when they want to. Peoples personal preferences are written in their care plans and staff are aware of these. Langlea House is a family run home with the owners and manager all having active roles within the staff team. Staff all know people very well and spend time with them finding out about their interests, past lives and experiences. They then use these to provide appropriate activities. We could see that activities are discussed at residents meetings. At the last meeting in March people were asked if they had any ideas about additional activities they may like. The home has a very lively, welcoming atmosphere. During our visit there were lots of visitors and staff were available to offer people assistance or have a chat. Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 24 Evidence: In the surveys people told us there were activities arranged for them to take part in. One person said there is a good activities programme. Keeping the home small creates a friendly, homely atmosphere and people get individual attention. During the morning we saw people living in the home listening to music, were involved in a quiz and four people were involved in a very lively game of dominoes. There is also a games room with a piano and billiard table that people can use if they wish. One of the owners is also a keen gardener and grows all of the plants for the hanging baskets and planters. He told us that some of the people living in the home are always interested in looking at the progress with the plants he is growing. We could see that visitors to the home are made welcome and people are offered drinks when they arrive. Trays of tea and coffee are served as requested. We spoke to three relatives who all said that they are made to feel at home when they visit. Meal times at the home are a social occasion with most people eating in the dining room, unless they choose to eat elsewhere. There was a lot of lively conversation at lunchtime and people ate at their leisure. People told us that the meals are good and that there is always plenty of food available. The presence of a number of staff, various activities and visitors means there is something going on most of the time. No one was sleeping and people were interested in everything that was going on. People living in the home are interested and engaged and are being kept mentally active and stimulated. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 24 Complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience.

Any concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse and neglect and takes action to follow up any allegations. People’s legal rights are protected, including being able to vote in elections. 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. Complaints and adult protection issues are being dealt with properly. This means that staff are listening to people and keeping them safe. Evidence: The homes complaints procedure is on display. In the surveys people told us that the know who to talk to if they are unhappy or if they want to make a complaint. People we spoke to told us that they would be able to raise any concerns with the manager and were confident that any issues would be sorted out. The home have not received any recent complaints. The manager told us that all of the staff have completed adult protection training. This means that staff are fully aware of all of the different types of abuse and about the reporting procedures.
