Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The focus of inspections undertaken by the Care Quality Commission is about the outcome of the care provided to people using the service. This process considers the providers capacity to meet regulatory requirements and focuses on aspects of service provision that need further development. The main method of inspection used was called case tracking. This involves selecting the care records and looking at the quality of the care people receive by talking to them, examining their care files and discussing how support is offered to them by staff members. People living at the home, members of staff and the manager were spoken with as part of this inspection, documents were read and medication inspected to form an opinion about the quality of the care provided. We looked at what the provider told us they were doing in their Annual Quality Assurance document (AQAA) that they sent to us. We received good responses from our have your say surveys, 8 from people who live there and 4 from staff, the information was used to plan what we looked at. The Quality rating for this service is 2 star. This means that the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. What the service does well: The home is clean and well maintained providing pleasant individual and communal accommodation. People are treated with respect, have their health needs met and receive their medicines as prescribed. People are able to participate in the Jewish way of life, celebrate important festivals and holidays and receive a kosher diet.

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): 3-6 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. Before moving to the home people can expect to have an assessment of their needs and the home confirm that they can meet those identified needs. Intermediate care is not provided at the home. EVIDENCE: When we last inspected the home we found that one person had been admitted with mental health needs which the home was not registered to provide care for. Since that time the manager has applied and received a variation of the homes registration certificate to allow one person with mental health needs to be cared for at the home. She has also ensured that the staff team have received training in the specific needs of this person so that they know how to deliver appropriate care and support. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 At our last inspection of the home we looked at the initial assessment of the last person to be admitted to the home and found there was a detailed pre admission assessment which the manager completed. No further admissions have taken place since that time. We saw detailed information packs available to anyone that is interested in moving into the home which gives people a good picture of the services the home provides. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7-8-9-10 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 who use this service can expect to be treated with respect, have their health needs met and receive their medicines as prescribed. EVIDENCE: We looked at the care plans of 3 people and found that staff regularly review each person’s needs in consultation with them. We saw how any health needs such as nutrition, falls and skin care were regularly risk assessed and from evidence in the plans we saw that people are referred to the doctor promptly and received support from the district nurse as required. The responses we received from residents who returned our surveys shows that all 8 people felt that the staff always make sure they receive the medical care they need. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 We asked 4 staff if they felt they had enough support, experience and knowledge to meet the different needs of people in the home and all 4 said they did. When we looked at staff training records we identified how staff access up to date training in the specific needs of people in the home which ensures that people are supported by skilled staff who understand how to plan and support their needs safely. At our last inspection we found some shortfalls in the management of medicines in that some practices needed to improve to make sure that the arrangements for medication were safe and that people received their medicines as prescribed by their Doctor. We looked at what improvements had taken place and found that the medication records are now fully completed, contain required entries, and are signed by appropriate staff. Regular medicine audit checks are recorded to monitor compliance with the homes policies and procedures for those that self medicate and suitable lockable facilities ensure that all medicines including those held by people in their rooms are now safe. From our observations during the inspection and from talking to people receiving care at the home we found that the staff team always demonstrate respectful verbal and non verbal communication, always listen to people and provide information and explanation where needed. People told us that ‘the staff are lovely’ ‘they know how to look after me’. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Daily Life and Social Activities The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12-13-14-15 People using the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area.

There are pub lunches, theatre trips, and full participation in the Leisure and Pleasure Club that is based in the Jewish Community. People confirmed that they are able to celebrate Jewish Festivals with appropriate food and special services and meals as required.

People told us they receive visits from the Rabbi and that staff understood their religious and cultural needs. We saw a report from the Environmental Health Officer who inspected the kitchen and food hygeine practices at the home in June 2009 which tells us that there were ‘excellent standards throughout the kitchen’ From the responses we received in our surveys and from people we spoke to at the inspection the food provided is considered to be good and kashrut/kosher is strictly observed.

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.

EVIDENCE: The AQAA we received from the manager indicates that the service has over the suggested 50 of care staff trained to National Vocational Qualification Level 2, and the two staff we spoke with had both achieved the qualification. This exceeds the National Minimum Standard. The training records we looked at show that staff have undertaken training on Basic Food Hygiene, Health and Safety, Infection Control, Moving and Handling, safeguarding adults training, Fire training and Dementia care and First Aid. The staff we interviewed confirmed they have done these courses and feel they have the skills they need to provide care and support to people in the home. The staff we spoke with told us they had supplied all of the information and documentation required before they started work and the two staff recruitment records we looked at showed that an appropriate recruitment was followed in practice to make sure people were suitable to work with vulnerable people. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The residents we spoke with and those we sent surveys to all confirm that they receive the care and support they need. Staff responding to our surveys told us that “Training is up to date and everything is covered.” “We have all our training needed and can go on extra courses if we wish to” “We have time to talk to people, we treat them professionally but as part of our family” Staff told us that due to some staff being off on leave they were working very hard to cover shifts. The manager told us both within the AQAA and during the visit that some staff have left recently but they are successfully recruiting new staff to ensure consistent levels of care are maintained. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.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): 31-33-15-38 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 the health, safety and welfare of people is monitored and maintained, however, there is a risks of burns to service users due to exposed pipe work and high surface temperatures of radiators EVIDENCE: The manager is registered with the commission and is supervised by a representative from the Methodist Housing Association who have been appointed by the providers of the service, to ensure she receives support and supervision around her professional practice. She has trained in the new Mental Capacity Act and associated safeguards showing she is aware of her responsibilities. Miriam Kaplowitch House Care Home DS0000002212.V376000.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 The manager ensures that the staff team are regularly supervised and training plans show that she recognises the importance of a well trained staff team. Staff comments were received within our surveys such as “I feel it’s a well run home and run well by all staff” People using the service told us in our surveys that “Don’t know what the home could do better” “The home gives me everything I ever need” The arrangements for supporting people with their finances was checked at the last inspection and found to be managed safely. This inspection found that the people we case tracked were managing their own money or had small amounts of cash held in safe keeping for them, they were all able to have a copy of any transaction on request. There are regular audits taking place to ensure the manager is aware of any changes or improvements she needs to make and people are regularly consulted on their satisfaction with the care provided at the home. The providers visit the home monthly and prepare a report for the manager on the quality of the care provision which ensures continuous self improvement of the service. The information the manager gave us in the AQAA indicated that all tests and servicing on equipment had been done at the correct intervals. We checked the records of fire tests and equipment along with hoist servicing and found that these are appropriately serviced and tested at regular intervals to ensure people’s safety. We noted that some radiators were not low surface temp or guarded which could present a risk to people from exposed pipe work and high surface temperatures of radiators if they are unable to move away from them quickly or fall on them accidentally.
