This process considers the providers capacity to meet regulatory requirements, minimum standards of practice; and focuses on aspects of service provision that need further development. This was our first visit to the home since 1st April 2008. This inspection involved one inspector; it was unannounced and took place in the daytime, including lunchtime. Prior to the visit an analysis of the home was undertaken from information gathered over the last year including that from the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment they completed. Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 28 The main method of inspection used is called case tracking which involves looking at the quality of the care received by a number of people living at the home. We also use evidence from our observations; we speak with them about their experience of living at the home; we look at records and talk with staff about their understanding of the peoples needs who they support. The premises were not inspected in detail but various areas of the home were visited as part of the inspection. What the care home does well: What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Care plan should show peoples needs and how these are to be met, and the support they need must be provided when needed. Peoples dignity needs to be respected at all times, including when they are being moved with a hoist. People need to be able to have more say and choice over what they have to eat at mealtimes.

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 coming to the home will know their needs can be met as they have been assessed. Evidence: The care file for one recently admitted person was seen, who was one of the people selected for case tracking, and this contained a pre admission assessment dated 8 days before the person was admitted. The manager said she had gone out to see the person to carry out the assessment. The person concerned was seen, but did not wish to answer any questions. The manager said that either she or the deputy manager go out to assess any prospective new person wanting to come to the home, and sometimes she will take a senior carer with her. Staff from the dementia unit said they thought it would be beneficial if they were Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 28 Evidence: involved in all assessments for people who want to come to live there. Staff were aware of when an assessment is needed from the Local Authority and the differences between people assessed as requiring residential and nursing care. The home does not provide an intermediate service. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 28 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, personal and social needs are met by care practices in the home. Evidence: A sample of four care plans were seen. The manager said that she usually tries to audit five care plans each week, but had not done so over the last two weeks as she has been working away from the home. Care plans seen referred to promoting choice, privacy and dignity. One member of staff referred to one person who has been displaying challenging behaviour, and the actions they have taken to manage this. These were seen recorded within a care plan. There were risk assessments seen to establish if the person was at risk from their daily routines. One person was assessed at risk of falling, and was seen being hoisted from a wheelchair to an armchair, however it was noted that his care file contained a care plan that had not been updated and showed a different mobility plan. When a senior carer saw the plan was out of date she prepared a current moving and handling plan. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 28 Evidence: The manager said they have started writing care plans in a person centred manner and staff needed to have some time to get used to this as it is a big change for them, and sometimes they were forgetting to update care plans. Staff said that senior carers or nurses prepare care plans which are updated monthly, and that they find the care plans useful. Some of the care plans seen had been updated monthly, but some had not been for a longer period. When asked about the care they receive one person said, I am able to do things I want myself, I dont need much help and another person said, Staff will do things the way I ask them. Each care plan has an evaluation sheet where any information concerning that plan is recorded. There were annual reviews of care plans, which included the person concerned where able, and sometimes a relative. One plan stated that the relatives did not want to be involved in the care planning. There is a section in the care file to record any medical appointments, and these showed people make use of a range of services. Staff spoke of promoting peoples health and said they call on community based services as needed. Staff were observed hoisting people into armchairs and they were explaining to people what they were doing, however some people had their clothing displaced. Personal hygiene records showed that people receive regular assistance with personal care, including baths, showers and hair washes. One person said, I get the doctor come out to see me when I am not feeling well and another person said, Staff help me into the shower. Nursing staff give out medication to people receiving nursing care and senior carers give it to people who receive residential care. Part of the morning and lunchtime medication rounds were observed. Staff followed the correct procedures in administering and recording medication. Medicine Administration Records seen were fully completed and where they had been handwritten they had been signed and checked as being correct. One person said after lunch, I have just had some tablets, I had some at breakfast and will have some more at tea time. Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 28 Evidence: One member of staff has taken on the role of dignity champion and information about this was seen on a noticeboard, including a photograph of the member of staff. One person spilled a cup of tea over her dress, when a member of staff saw this a few moments later she called for another member of staff to come to the lounge so she could take the person to her room to change her clothing. . Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 28 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 good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People have opportunities to take part in activities both in and out of the home and are part of the local community. There are opportunities for people to exercise choice in their lives, but the catering arrangements dont always suit their wishes. Evidence: There is an activities coordinator employed who organises and provides activities in both units.

The activities coordinator was seen talking with people on the other unit, in one case listening to a person talking about his working life down the mines. The television had been on for the morning news, but this was turned off and some music put on. which one person commented after listening to a Harry Secombe track, What a lovely song. Staff said that the activities coordinator offers plenty of activities, but it doesnt always go to plan as people want to do something different, which happens. Staff on the dementia unit described how they use the displays on the unit to help people remember and talk about things they remember from their past. Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 28 Evidence: One person said, I dont like to join in games, I watch television in my room, I like to watch the football. One person on the dementia unit was seen watching a digital photo frame with pictures of her family and flowers being shown.

There was a mixture of comments made by people Care Homes for Older People Page 17 of 28 Evidence: about their lunch including, It was a very nice lunch, The gravy was too thick and I dont want sprouts on my plate. One person commented after being asked about her lunch, Its been a long time since Ive had someone ask me if I enjoyed my meal. Several comments were made by staff at recent changes to catering arrangements made by the provider, which was described as an attempt to reduce costs. Staff said it would not allow people to receive treats special requests or things like a birthday cake. The manager said it was aimed at promoting more home cooking and reducing pre prepared food such as frozen Yorkshire puddings.

One is currently under investigation, others concerned a room not being cleaned, a new carpet needed, not enough potatoes at dinner and someone wandering into other peoples rooms. All of the complaints had been either upheld or partially upheld and appropriate action taken. One member of staff said they knew the procedure to follow, but thought the close work and contact they have with families stops the need for any complaints to be made. Another member of staff said she was aware of a recent complaint which was being looked into and she knew the procedures to follow if anyone raised a complaint.
