For extracts, read the latest CQC inspection for The Gables.
What the care home does well The home is a large adapted and extended Georgian building and it is situated in it`s own grounds. There are four lounge areas, plus other quiet areas for people to use if they wish. Staff members are polite and talk to people with respect. We talked to people during this inspection and they said the staff are nice and respect their privacy and dignity. People have access to the advice and treatment from health care professionals. The information is written in their care records. There is an activities co-ordinator who arranges trips, entertainment and events for people to take part in. People told us they are able to choose how to spend their day, when to get up and what to wear. People can have visitors when they want and there are places where they can meet in private. They told us they have a choice at meal times and that they like the meals that are offered. Staffing levels are quite high because there are so few people living at the home at the time of this inspection. People living there said they receive the care they need. Staff members receive supervision from the manager, which allows them to talk about their work and training needs. Money that is kept and transactions that are made on behalf of people at the home is recorded. Records are also kept of the health and safety checks that are carried out, which means the home can show if things are in good working order and what they have done to repair problems. What has improved since the last inspection? The amount of information written in care plans has improved and staff have more guidance about how people like to be cared for. This must continue to improve so that all staff are able to provide this care easily, not just staff who know people well. Medication records are completed properly and show whether people have received their medication or not. There have been no complaints made since the last inspection, although the manager has a system in place to make sure any that are made are dealt with properly. All staff members have received safeguarding training. This means they have been taught about abuse and what they should do if they think it has happened. There has been a lot of refurbishment to the home since the last inspection. This means that there is no unpleasant odour and the home looks cleaner and brighter. A staff training programme is in place and most staff members have received most of the required training. If staff miss a training session, other sessions are available and transport is available if they need to travel. The manager was employed in June 2009, just before the last inspection. She has the qualifications and experience to carry out the role and is in the process of registering with the Care Quality Commission. Staff members told us they get on with the manager, she listens to them and does something about their concerns. A quality assurance survey has been carried out to find out what people think of living in the home. They have regular meetings and the manager carries out monthly audits to check everything is running smoothly. Most fire safety checks are being carried out and staff members have been given fire drill training to make sure they know what to do if there is a fire. What the care home could do better: Although staff members are polite and respectful, they still have private conversations with each other while with people who live at the home. They don`t include people in these conversations. This is not respectful and should stop, or people should be included in the conversations. We were not able to check whether the home is completing recruitment checks properly for new staff as no new staff have been employed. We will look at this again when new staff members have been employed. Although most fire safety checks are carried out, monthly emergency lighting checks are not completed. These must be done as it is not enough to leave it to the 6 monthly checks completed by the installation company. Legionella testing must also be completed to make sure people are not at risk of this. Medication records are completed properly, but we saw that one person is given a drug that must be given in a particular way. There was no guidance for staff about how to do this properly. This must be changed to make sure the person is not put at risk. Key inspection report

The quality rating for this care home is: Our judgement for each outcome: one star adequate service Choice of home Health and personal care Daily life and social activities Complaints and protection Environment Staffing Management and administration peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: The quality rating for this service is 1 star. This means the people who use this service experience adequate quality outcomes. This was a key inspection of this service and it took place over 4 hours and 30 minutes as an unannounced visit to the premises. It was spent talking to the manager and staff working in the home, talking to people who live there and observing the interaction between them and the staff, and examining records and documents. Two requirements from the last inspection have not been met. There has been one further requirement and no recommendations made as a result of this inspection. Information from the random inspection carried out in December 2009 was also used in this report. Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 23 What the care home does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The amount of information written in care plans has improved and staff have more guidance about how people like to be cared for. This must continue to improve so that all staff are able to provide this care easily, not just staff who know people well. Medication records are completed properly and show whether people have received their medication or not. There have been no complaints made since the last inspection, although the manager has a system in place to make sure any that are made are dealt with properly. All staff members have received safeguarding training. This means they have been taught about abuse and what they should do if they think it has happened.

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 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. Peoples needs are assessed before care starts, which means the home knows whether the persons needs can be met. Evidence: The manager said there has only been one person move permanently into the home since the last inspection and this was after going to stay for respite. An assessment was completed by the home before the person went to live there. The home does not provide accommodation specifically for intermediate care or for rehabilitation purposes. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 23 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 adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Most care and medication records are completed in enough detail and staff care for people, which means their health and welfare is met. Evidence: People told us care staff are nice, are polite and treat them with dignity and respect. We saw that staff are polite to people, and respect their wishes. However, we also saw that staff members sometimes carry on their own conversations when they are with people, and dont include them in the conversation. We received surveys from the relatives of three people living at the home. They are all happy with the care their relative receives. Comments in these surveys include, mostly they treat our aunt with kindness and consideration and every aspect of the care my mother receives is satisfactory. Care plans for two people were looked at as part of this inspection. They show that each person has a plan that gives staff members information about what they need to do to meet most of the identified needs. Risk assessments, for things like falls and
Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 23 Evidence: moving and handling, are completed and reviewed regularly. We found the care plans give staff members advice about how to meet most of peoples needs, and that the level of detail has increased since the random inspection in December 2009. Care plans for care needs generally tell staff how each person likes to be cared for and what some of their preferences are. This improvement should continue so that anyone working at the home is able to care for each person in the way the person wants to be cared for. Most care plans are reviewed monthly and we saw that information and changes are recorded. We found only one persons care plan for aggression had not been updated as their behaviour has changed. However, this persons behaviour had improved as health issues had been resolved and we were able to see this in other care records. There is information in care records to show health care professionals, such as specialist nurses, opticians and chiropodists, are contacted for advice and treatment. Medication administration records (MAR) were looked at for everyone living at the home. The MAR sheets are completed and there are no records with entries missing. Entries for medications that have not been given show the reason for this. Amounts of medication remaining in blister packs of medication tally with the amount the MAR indicates are remaining. We found one persons MAR sheet with a prescription for a medication that must be given in a specific way. There was no information in the care plan about how this should be done, even though the prescription and the blister pack advised staff to read guidance about how to give the medication. We spoke with the carer responsible for giving medication and they were able to find the guidance, although this was stored with other medication guidance in a paper bag in the medication cupboard. The staff member was not able to tell us how the medication should be given, but said they would not be responsible as they did not work during the day when the medication has to be given. At the random inspection in December 2009 we found that the drug fridge was running at too high a temperature to safely store medication. As no medication currently needs storing in a fridge, this has been switched off and temperatures are not being recorded. We were also not able to assess if handwritten records are completed properly as we did not see any during this inspection. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 23 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. Activities are available and people can choose what they do, which means they have control over their lives. Evidence: The home employs a specific activities co-ordinator for 20 hours a week who provides a range of games arts and crafts for people to enjoy. She also regularly takes people out to the local church, Chatteris Museum and to the market on a Friday. While we were at the home everyone who lives there was in the lounge room playing bingo with staff members. Staff were also playing and this meant that there was a light entertaining atmosphere. Information about what people do and time they spend with people is recorded on activity records. This is written in a little more detail than previously and describes more clearly what the person was doing. For example, the type of book someone was reading or music they listened to. People are able to make everyday choices about when to get up and go to bed, how to spend their days, whether that is in their own room, or in the main lounge/dining area. We saw and listened to how staff members interact with people and found they ask what people would like and how they would like it rather than telling people or
Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 23 Evidence: giving limited options. Staff members we spoke to know the people they care for and were able to tell us some of their preferences and how they like to be cared for. The home has an open visiting policy and people can have visitors at any time of the day. Relatives of three people living at the home returned surveys. They said they are kept up to date with any issues. One persons relative said, the staff that have been retained are always chatting to residents to encourage communication. The main meal is served at lunchtime and there is usually a choice of two hot meals every day. The manager told us that the menu has been changed and hot meals are now also offered at tea time. There is lots of fresh fruit and snacks available throughout the day. We spoke to people about the food and they said the meals are quite good and they can have what they want. Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 23 Complaints and protection
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them know how to complain. Any concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse and neglect and takes action to follow up any allegations. People’s legal rights are protected, including being able to vote in elections. 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 know how to make complaints and concerns known and staff know how to report concerns, which means action is taken to protect people. Evidence: People we spoke to during the inspection said they know what to do if theyre not happy about something and they would be able to make a complaint. Everyone we spoke to during this inspection said they are happy with the service given to them. All of the relatives who returned surveys said they know how to make a complaint and that the service responds approrpriately. The home has a complaints procedure and keeps a complaint log to show how they have looked at and the outcome of complaints that have been made. The manager told us there have been no complaints made since the last inspection. The Care Quality Commission has not received any complaints about the service. The staff training matrix shows that all staff members have received training in safeguarding (adult protection) within the last year. We talked to care staff, who confirmed they had received training in safeguarding people. One carer we spoke to told us what should be done if abuse was suspected. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 23 Environment
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 stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. 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. The home is generally clean and provides a safe environment, giving most people a pleasant place to live. Evidence: The home is a large adapted Georgian house with an extension situated in the centre of the Fenland market town of Chatteris. People living at the home have access to a number of communal areas on each floor, including a garden area at the back of the property. The general decor in most parts of the home is satisfactory, and it was clean and tidy, with no offensive odours. The home has undergone an extensive refurbishment programme since the last inspection and areas that were causing concern have either been repaired or replaced. Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 23 Staffing
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 have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable to care for them. Their needs are met and they are cared for by staff who get the relevant training and support from their managers. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate 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 members most of the time with the training and skills to be able to care for people properly. Evidence: The training matrix shows all staff members have been given fire awareness and safeguarding training. Most staff members have also had training in moving and handling, dementia care, infection control, and health and safety. We talked to the manager about the need for staff members who miss required training to receive the training at the next opportunity. She told us that training sessions are run throughout the year at other services owned by the provider, and the home also runs transport so staff dont miss sessions. Almost half of the care staff have a National Vocational Qualification at level 2 or above in Care. The required number is 50 and there is one other staff member working towards the qualification. All three of the relatives who returned surveys said they think care staff have the right skills to look after people properly. They said staff are, friendly and approachable and cheerful and pleasant. However, one persons relative said, on a very few occasions a few of the staff dont know how to cope with dementia patients who are being obstinate. This person went on to say, she (the manager) is helping to train all the care staff so that they can respond appropriately to their patients.
Care Homes for Older People Page 17 of 23 Evidence: Overall staffing numbers have reduced since the last key inspection. However, because the numbers of people living at the home have also reduced this means there are enough staff to be able to care for people. During our inspection there were two carers and a senior carer on duty. People we spoke to said they receive the care they need. We were not able to look at how the home completes recruitment checks for new staff members because no new staff have been employed. We will look at this again when new staff are employed by the home. Care Homes for Older People Page 18 of 23 Management and administration
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 have confidence in the care home because it is led and managed appropriately. People control their own money and choose how they spend it. If they or someone close to them cannot manage their money, it is managed by the care home in their best interests. The environment is safe for people and staff because appropriate health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. The people staying at the home are safeguarded because it follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and ensures their staff understand the way things should be done. They get the right care because the staff are supervised and supported by their managers. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home is generally a safe place to live and people are asked their opinion so that things they are not happy with are changed. Evidence: A new manager was appointed in June 2009 and at the time of this inspection was in the process of registering with the Care Quality Commission as manager. She has previous experience in managing a home for older people, has completed the Registered Managers Award and is completing a National Vocational Qualification level 4 in care. Staff we spoke to told us she was approachable, was good at keeping them informed of changes and felt confident she could turn the home around. An annual quality assurance survey was carried out by the home in November 2009, although a report had been written due to the small numbers of people returning surveys. We looked at the surveys and found they were all positive. The views of people living at the home is also obtained through residents meetings, and minutes from the latest meeting are available. Again, all comments and opinions from people
Care Homes for Older People Page 19 of 23 Evidence: at the home were positive. The manager carries out a monthly audit of the home to identify any outstanding issues. The home keeps some money on behalf of people who live there. Accounts are kept of transactions of money put in and taken out. We looked at two of these records; both are clearly written and show how money has been spent. Staff records show that supervision is being carried out by the manager and copies of the notes made are kept in staff files. We spoke to staff members who told us they have received supervision and they are able to tell the manager about issues and have something done about them. We looked at fire safety records to make sure all the appropriate checks are completed and found most of these are. The exception is emergency lighting checks that must be completed every month. These have not been carried out and the manager told us this is because the home has not been provided with the correct key to do this by the installation company. However, the checks have not been completed since the last 6 monthly check by the installation company. These checks must be carried out to make sure emergency lighting is working and available in the event of a fire. Hot water checks are completed for each outlet, but Legionella testing is not completed. Care Homes for Older People Page 20 of 23 Are there any outstanding requirements from the last inspection?
