Residents and/or their representatives are regularly asked for their views about the home. What has improved since the last inspection? Some areas have been redecorated and refurbished since the last inspection, for example there is some new dining and lounge furniture and new curtains and bedding in some bedrooms. Staff are to be commended for their achievement in creating a very pleasant and secure garden, accessible from the White Lodge unit. Improved provision has been made for residents that choose to smoke. A small cooker has been obtained so residents can participate in baking sessions. There is a new shower facility for residents. The Manager`s office has been improved and now has an area in which private meetings and reviews can be held. What the care home could do better: No requirements are made as a result of this inspection. Three recommendations are made. The home should continue with the improvements to care plan recording. Residents would benefit by the home having more regular access to a minibus and qualified drivers to enable greater flexibility in having outings. The front garden should be made secure so residents can use it freely and safely in addition to the rear garden. This would also facilitate better ventilation of Chestnut unit in hot weather.

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This key unannounced inspection was conducted by Gary Bartlett, Regulatory Inspector, who was in Pilgrims View on 3rd July 2008 from 9:30 am until 3:00 pm. During that time the Inspector spoke with some residents, 4 visitors, and some staff. Due to the nature of the service provided, it is difficult to reliably incorporate accurate reflections of residents’ views of the service in the report. Judgements about quality of life and choices were taken from direct observation and by discussion with the Manager and staff, inspection of records and a tour of the building and grounds. The Commission had received a completed Annual Quality Assurance Assessment from which information was used to inform the inspection process. A number of survey forms were received prior to the inspection. Residents, their relatives responded that they like the home and think there are good standards of care. Survey forms included the comments: • “In general I am very pleased with the care my mother receives and the care from regular staff seems good and caring”. • “Home is very good that I am staying in”. • “Always cheerful”. Other statements made are quoted in the text of the report. The Care Homes Regulations 2001 and the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Older People refer to people who use the service as “service users”. People living at Pilgrims View prefer to be referred to as “residents”. Accordingly this shall be done in the text of this report. The Inspector would like to thank everyone involved for their contribution to the inspection.

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): 3, 4, 5 and 6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents can be confident that they are appropriately placed due to good preadmission assessments and benefit from being able to visit the home prior to admission. EVIDENCE: A survey form completed by a relative included the comment: • “She has been treated with the utmost respect and was made to feel very welcome from the start”. Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 The Manager described how a pre-admission assessment is made of each prospective resident to ensure the home can meet his or her needs. Records show that prospective residents, their families, advocates, and relevant health care professionals are involved in the assessment process. Specialist advice is sought from external sources where required. Residents and their relatives said they had been able to visit Pilgrims View and have lunch there before making a decision to move in. Two relatives who were visiting said staff are very helpful in assisting new residents to settle in. A survey form completed by a resident included the comment: • “I have settled in here quite easily”. Intermediate care is not offered at Pilgrims View. Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.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. Residents’ care and health needs are well met in a dignified and appropriate manner. An improvement to care plan records would better evidence how they are met. EVIDENCE: The judgment for this outcome group has taken into account the quality of life for the residents. The judgement also includes assessment of the level of knowledge and understanding displayed by staff when providing both personal and health care. Comments made by residents and visitors and observation during the day of the site visit indicates the standard of care provided is good. Residents and their visitors say that staff know and understand peoples’ individual needs and support is provided with warmth and good humour.
Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Staff are aware of far more information than is recorded in care plans. A lot of information is shared at handover. Three care plans were inspected in detail. Overall they are adequate and are accessible to staff. The care plans are person centred and contain good information about people’s social history to help staff provide sensitive support to people who live in the home. Residents can be confident that their preferences are known and that staff have a good understanding about the difficulties they face. The care staff spoken with have a good understanding of dementia and how it can affect people. Significant changes recorded on the daily monitoring sheets should always be recorded in the care plan to provided clear guidance to staff on how to meet changing needs to reduce the risk of this information being lost after a few days. Survey forms completed by relatives included the comments: • “They care for my mother well, always notify me on concerns, either medically or any other”. • “Even though they were minor matters (fortunately) Pilgrims View have always phoned me to discuss these, which I really appreciated”. The medicines room is clean and well maintained. The temperature of the area is being monitored and records show the temperature of the room is regularly exceeding 25 degrees C. The Manager is looking at the possible ways of address this to ensure the medicines are stored at the recommended temperature. Records show that all staff administering medications have been trained and signed off as being competent to do so. The Medication Record Administration Record (MAR) sheets inspected had been generally completed appropriately, although the Manager was reminded that hand written MAR sheets must be signed by the person completing them and countersigned by a second person checking their accuracy. The Manager undertook to do this immediately. Medicines were seen to be given in accordance with good practice guidelines. The home has a good working relationship with the specialist and local health care professionals. This greatly assists in supporting residents in their health care needs. Residents feel that staff are kind and gentle, this was confirmed by observation and discussion with visitors. Staff are considerate of the age and dignity of residents and treat them with courtesy. Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service Residents can a fulfilling lifestyle with good outside links maintained and as much choice and control over all aspects of their lives as their individual abilities allow. Dietary needs of resident are well catered for with a balanced and varied selection of food that meets their tastes and choices. EVIDENCE: A survey form completed by a relative included the comment: • “I feel very comfortable when visiting my mother and am always met with a cheerful “Hello””. There is a great deal of flexibility in the way personal preferences are met. Residents can choose when they get up and when they go to bed. Past
Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 histories and likes and dislikes are noted in the care plans and staff showed a good understanding of the importance of meeting individual needs. There is a key worker system. This means that individual staff members take responsibility for noting the choices and needs of residents assigned to them and helps staff to build closer relationships with individual residents. Two Activities Co-ordinators are employed, one works on 3 days per week and the other works on 4 days per week. Some residents say that they would like more to do and some relatives feel that there is room for improvement in respect of activities. Other relatives say that they couldn’t be happier with the activities on offer and the way the staff encourage residents to participate. From observation, staff engage residents in activities such as playing cards and dominoes very well and with good humour. A small number of staff need to remember to enable residents to participate as fully as they can rather than make decisions for them. The home currently shares the use of a minibus with a KCHT home in Chatham. Residents and staff clearly miss the opportunities and flexibility of outings they had recently enjoyed when they temporarily had sole use of the minibus for a short time. Only one staff member is qualified to drive the bus. Family and friends feel welcome and know they can visit at any reasonable time. During the inspection a number of visitors were seen in the home and the visitors book records regular visits by families, friends and others. The design of the Pilgrims View provides seating areas within the communal areas where residents can entertain their visitors, in addition to the privacy of their own room. The home encourages individuals and groups from the community to visit. There is a visitor who regularly has lunch at the home. Meal times are set for practical reasons but can be flexible to accommodate activities when necessary. The menu is varied, balanced and nutritious. It includes choices familiar to residents and a variety of dishes that encourage residents to try new and sometimes unfamiliar food. Food is served to meet the needs of all residents including those who have swallowing or chewing difficulty. Staff give assistance to those residents who need help to eat, in a discrete and sensitive manner. Mealtimes are relaxed, staff are patient and helpful, and allow residents the time they need to finish their meal comfortably.

Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Criminal Records Bureau and POVA. The staff induction and NVQ training have elements of adult protection training and there has been POVA training for staff. Those spoken with have a sound understanding of adult abuse and protection procedures. The Manager stated any allegation of abuse would be referred to the concerned agencies without delay. Since the last inspection there has been one Safeguarding Adults alert. The home has a system in place, which aims to protect the financial interests of residents and holds small amounts of cash on their behalf. This is kept securely. Transaction records are maintained and receipts are kept for purchases made on residents’ behalf. Cash checked tallied with accounts seen. The Manager said that no one within the organisation is an appointee for any resident. Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment

Pilgrims View DS0000024077.V367341.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 curtains and bedding in some bedrooms. The sluice rooms are due to refurbished to provide better facilities to promote infection control. Staff are to be commended for their achievement in creating a very pleasant and secure garden, accessible from the White Lodge unit, in which residents can wander. One of the many delights of the garden is a large mural commissioned from a local school. Residents cannot use the front garden without constant staff supervision as it is not secure. For the same reason, the external doors on the Chestnut unit cannot be left open in hot weather. Staff say the bathing and toileting facilities are adequate for residents’ needs. A new shower has been installed since the last inspection. There are thirty-five single and four shared bedrooms. The use of the rooms for shared occupancy should be reviewed in view of the mental and physical frailty of the residents and their associated behaviours and care needs. Those who share bedrooms are not always able to make a positive choice to share with full understanding of the implications. All the bedrooms are equipped with call alarms and TV aerial points.

There is also an induction programme for agency staff to complete on their first shift at the home. Each staff member has a “staff training analysis sheet” to record training courses they have attended and a training matrix is used to give a management overview of staff training needs. There are good training opportunities. All care staff complete a basic dementia training course which is followed up by additional training including the opportunity to undertake a 12 week college course on dementia. Ancillary staff are also encouraged to undertake training in dementia awareness as well as the management of challenging behaviour. The staff rosters seen indicate staffing levels are geared to peak times of activity. Feedback from some relatives indicates they think staff are “stretched” at times.
