Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY 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. 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. This inspection was carried out to assess the quality of care provided to people living at the home. 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 by 2 inspectors, which lasted approximately 5 hours. During the visit we spoke to 6 people living in the home, the manager and members of staff on duty. We also observed staff delivering care, looked at various records and looked around the home. Surveys were sent to 6 people living in the home and to 4 health care professionals; these surveys 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. We received completed surveys from 5 people using the service and one Community Nurse who visits the home. Their comments have been used in this report. What the service does well: The home is well managed and run in the best interest of the people living there. Anyone thinking of moving in can go and look around to see for themselves if they think the home is suitable for them.

EVIDENCE: We looked at three care plans because we wanted to see what individual needs had been identified and what action staff have to take to meet these needs. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 We found that the care plans were detailed and easy to follow. The care plans contain some useful information about the sort of daily routines that people prefer. Personal support is tailored to meet individual needs and there is evidence that people are being consulted about how they want their care and support to be delivered. We observed staff treating people with dignity and providing personal care in private. We also observed staff assisting people using moving and handling equipment. They were very patient and they explained to each person they were assisting, what they were doing and why. Peoples health care needs are being identified and met. Staff are vigilant and evidence shows that 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.

They have recently started to grow some of their own fruit and vegetables, coopting help from a relative of a member of staff. The manager said this has been a successful project that has received a lot of interest from people living there. They have just entered a local garden competition. Relatives are always made welcome; the staff know them well and invite them to stay for a meal if they wish. We were told one person had several members of her family at Lyndhurst for Christmas dinner. The staff told us about a visit they had recently from a group of students and tutors from Dewsbury College who brought a Wii console and games for people to try out. They said this was a new experience that everyone took part in and enjoyed and some surprising “sporting” skills emerged. They are now saving to buy their own console. At lunchtime there is a set meal, but there are a range of alternatives on offer if people do not like the dish of the day. People received a well presented meal, in a pleasant setting. There is plenty of choice at teatime and suppertime and snacks and drinks are always available.

No complaints have been made to us since our last inspection in July 2008. The deputy manager told us that all of the staff have received training about their responsibility to safeguard people in their care. This is also part of the induction process for any new staff that start work at the home. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The manager and deputy manager have attended recent training provided by the local authority about safeguarding procedures. They said they intend to cascade the training to all of the staff. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings.

This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 21, 24 and 26. People using the service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People live in a comfortable home but the refurbishment and redecoration needs to continue to improve the facilities. EVIDENCE: The communal areas of the home are clean and comfortable. Everyone who completed a survey said the home was always clean. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 The bedrooms we looked at are personalised, most people have lots of ornaments and photographs around them. Everyone is encouraged to bring personal items with them when they move in. Since our last visit the hallway and dining room has been redecorated and there is a new carpet in one of the lounges. Some of the bedrooms have also been redecorated. The decoration in one of the lounges needs attention, the room is dark and part of the wallpaper above the door has been stripped off but no further work has been carried out, this room needs attention. The manager said there is a plan for refurbishment but we didn’t see it. The downstairs toilet on the main corridor requires attention, it smells strongly of urine and the odour can be detected on the corridor. In order to ensure that this area is clean, hygienic and odour free, the floor covering needs to be replaced. The home has two bathrooms but as only one is fitted with adaptations, the second bathroom is not used. It would be useful to create a shower/wet room in the second bathroom to provide people with a choice of bathing facilities. On the upstairs landing some of the wall lights have been disconnected leaving exposed, taped up wiring. The manager said she had already made arrangements for an electrician to check the wiring later in the week. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 & 30 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. There are enough staff on duty to meet peoples needs. Staff are well trained and competent to do their job. EVIDENCE: The home is adequately staffed at all times to meet the needs of the people living there. During the day there is one senior member of the team on duty with two care staff, plus the manager. Throughout the night, there are two care staff on duty. There is domestic cover every day for five hours and a cook is available every day between 7.30 am and 2.45 pm. In the surveys, we asked people living at the home if staff are available when they are needed, everyone said “always”. A training matrix shows at a glance what training staff have undertaken and what needs to be renewed. Most people have completed all of the required mandatory training. Staff have good training opportunities available to them; we saw details of the training that is planned for the coming months. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 We looked at a sample of staff records to see if new staff are being appropriately checked before they start work at the home. This is to make sure that staff are suitable and to keep people safe. Most records were complete but one staff file we looked at only contained one reference, we discussed this with the deputy manager who made immediate arrangements for a second reference to be faxed to the home. Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31, 33, 35, 36 and 38. 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. The home is well managed and run in the best interests of the people living there. People are consulted about the service and asked if it can be improved in any way. EVIDENCE: Lyndhurst DS0000026278.V376346.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 The manager has a number of year’s experience of working with older people in a residential setting. She has previously been the registered manager of a care home. She has been in post since August 2007 and was registered with us as the manager of Lyndhurst in August 2008. The home is run in the best interests of the people living there. The manager talks to people each day and she is open and approachable. People were very positive in their comments about the whole staff team and said they would talk to them if they had any concerns. People’s views on the service are welcome. House meetings are convened when people have issues they want to discuss, they set their own agenda’s and have elected a spokesperson to take issues up with management and report back to them. Relatives are surveyed periodically throughout the year and asked for their views on the service provided. The management team are open to suggestions about any improvements people suggest to them. We wanted to look at the monthly reports that the provider has to write about the conduct and management of the home. We saw copies of these last year but none were available on this visit. We have made a requirement in this inspection report for monthly reports to re-commence. The manager said the provider visits the home every week and this requirement will be met. We looked at the records of money held for safekeeping on behalf of three people. The records could be reconciled with the money held for two people but there was a small discrepancy in the record keeping for the third. We asked the manager to look into this. All staff are receiving supervision from the management team. Evidence shows that supervision is pre planned and takes place on a regular basis. There is a written Health and Safety policy. Staff receive moving and handling, health and safety, food hygiene, fire safety, first aid and infection control training. The service reports for the stair lift and bath hoists were seen and were up to date.
