The acting manager needs to ensure that his application to register with the Care Quality Commission is submitted without delay. Incidents of skin tissue damage such as pressure sores, need to have a specific care plan in place to ensure that the treatment and outcomes are be fully recorded, monitored and updated as and when conditions change. This will ensure effective promotion of tissue viability and ensure that staff can continue to provide care for people in the right way. Care plans need to be updated as soon as peoples needs and conditions change this will ensure that staff follow the current objectives to meet people’s needs.

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This normally means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes.
At this inspection we focused on the key standards under the National Minimum Standards (NMS) for Older People, and the Care Standards Act Regulations 2001. The key standards are considered by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to have a particular impact on outcomes for people who use the service. Inspection of the standards was achieved through review of care plans and associated care records for people using the service. We looked at other information on the service such as the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) which is a declaration provided by the service on how they view they are meeting the NMS. We looked at the previous inspection report, requirement and recommendations and other correspondence and contact with the service and people associated with the service. The inspection lasted over one and a half days and was carried out by one inspector. The first day of the inspection took place on 16th November 2009 and was unannounced, the inspector returned to the service on 17th November to complete the inspection by arrangement. We used a method of inspection called case tracking, which involved looking at samples of care records and assessments for people using the service and listening to their experiences of using the service. Because Pytchley Court provides care for people with dementia, some people are not always able to tell us about their experiences, in which case we observed interactions between staff and people who use the service and looked at how peoples dignity and independence was promoted and protected. We looked at how peoples medication was managed through review of individual medication administration records and records of the ordering, receipt and disposal of medications. We checked on the adequacy of staff recruitment and training and how people using the service were being protected. Verbal feedback was given to the acting manager and the operations manager during the inspection. Throughout the body of the report the term ‘we’ is used to describe the Care Quality Commission (CQC) as a collective body.

This included the homes Statement of Purpose, (which provides information on the management of the home and qualifications of staff). The Service User Guide (which provides information on the range of services provided at the home and the local community) and a copy of the most recent Care Quality Commission inspection report (formerly CSCI). Pytchley Court Nursing Home DS0000012634.V378441.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 11 We looked at pre admission assessment information that was contained within the care file of a person who had recently moved into Pytchley Court. There was sufficient information available to demonstrate that the home had carried out a full assessment of the person’s health, personal, social and emotional needs prior to moving into the home and information was available within the persons care file from the placing authority.

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): Standards 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. Recording peoples changing needs ensures that staff can continue to care for people in the right way. EVIDENCE: Each person using the service has an individual care plan, we looked at a sample of care plans of which all contained written information on how staff were to meet the needs of people. We spoke with people using the service about their experience of receiving care at the home and we spoke with the staff providing the care for people at the home. Pytchley Court Nursing Home DS0000012634.V378441.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 13 We looked at the care of a person who had recently returned back to Pytchley Court following a stay in hospital. Their care plan had been reviewed upon readmission into the home, and generally reflected their changing needs. Within the daily notes staff had recorded that the person had developed a pressure ulcer to their heel, and recorded when they had assisted the person to reposition to prevent further skin tissue damage. A wound risk assessment for another person who had developed a pressure ulcer identified the dressings to be used and the frequency of checks to the wound. A ‘skin integrity’ care plan had been put in place which contained general information on caring for pressure areas. This skin integrity plan did not refer to the pressure ulcer which had developed, however in discussion with the staff they confirmed that the pressure ulcer was fully healed. Pressure relieving equipment was seen to be in place where required and used appropriately, the pressure area care plan contained details on the settings for air filled pressure mattresses in relation to the weight of the person and their position in bed. Risk assessments were in place for moving and handling, falls and nutritional intake. Records showed that where people were shown to be at risk appropriate action had been taken to address and reduce risks to a minimum. Records show that care plans and risk assessments are reviewed on or around each calendar month; it is important that as and when peoples needs and conditions change their individual care plan is updated to reflect changes and to ensure that the objectives remain current so that staff can continue to care for people in the right way. Records show that people are seen by a range of health and social care professionals such as general practitioners, the tissue viability nurse, podiatrists and occupational therapists. The medication storage and administration records showed that the medication is generally well managed, the acting manager carries out regular audits and staff double check the medication records during each shift handover, this ensures that any problems are identified and people receive their medications as prescribed. We observed staff interactions with people using the service during which we observed that staff ensure peoples rights to choice, dignity and independence was respected.
