What the care home does well When staff are recruited to care homes there are safety checks that need to be done, this helps to protect the people living at the home. Management must make sure for example, that they receive at least two references and carry out a check known as a Criminal Records Bureau check, this helps them to decide if the person is going to be suitable to work with vulnerable people. This had been done, all staff before being allowed to work had these checks made about them. The Willows Residential and Nursing Home DS0000071839.V376862.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Activities in the home are also very good and staff have been working hard to increase the amount that is available to the people at the home. The company pay for people to visit and undertake a programme of activities, this includes exercise and quizzes. What has improved since the last inspection? There had been many changes and improvements made since the last inspection, these included: Improvements to the environment have been made. Most of the areas in the home have been re decorated. In addition new furniture has been purchased and in some areas carpets have been replaced. Numerous pictures had also been purchased that would suit a variety of different tastes and preferences and these were throughout the home. One person said,” I think it’s made a big difference, it just feels nicer to sit in here now”. Improvements have taken place in the home and the efforts of staff are now starting to show, several people commented on how improved the care at the home was. The way that staff write about the care in the home has also improved. Documents known as care plans had changed and they gave clear and simple guidance to staff in how a person should be supported. Some of these plans were very good especially one called ‘life wishes’. It described the persons wishes on how they should be cared for, where and when. This showed that people were still maintaining as much control over their own lives as possible. What the care home could do better: The home uses a system for managing medication that covers a 28 day period. Sometimes medication is left over for certain reasons into the next 28 day cycle. Staff had not always been entering the carried forward balance onto the new medication record. This means that you are not able to carryout an audit correctly. Senior staff had been doing medication checks, but not actual audits and this needs to change. You must be able to audit as this is the only way of knowing if people have been receiving their medication when they should. The system in place to notify staff that someone is ringing the doorbell needs to be reviewed. An alarm that goes off is not always heard by staff, so people can be left waiting for up to 10 to 15 minutes trying to get into the home.The Willows Residential and Nursing HomeDS0000071839.V376862.R01.S.docVersion 5.2 Key inspection report CARE HOMES FOR OLDER PEOPLE The Willows Residential and Nursing Home 73 Shakespeare Road Bedford Bedfordshire MK40 2DW Lead Inspector Katrina Derbyshire Key Unannounced Inspection 28th July 2009 11:00 DS0000071839.V376862.R01.S.do c Version 5.2 Page 1 This report is a review of the quality of outcomes that people experience in this care home.

The quality rating for this service is 2 stars. This means the people who use this service experience good quality outcomes. This was an unannounced key inspection carried out on the 28th July 2009. The care of three people was looked at in detail and this is known as case tracking. Tracking people’s care is the methodology we use to assess whether people who use social care services are receiving good quality care that meets their individual needs. Through discussion, observation and reading records, we track the experiences of a sample of people who use a service. Prior to the visit taking place the Care Quality Commission had sent to the home an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) for completion by the registered provider. This was returned prior to the visit and provided information on how the service self assess their own performance. During the visit we checked some of this information to make sure that what had been submitted was accurate. During the visit the communal areas of the home were seen alongside some of the individual rooms. Time was spent with many of the people who live at the home in one of the sitting areas. Observations of care practice and communication between the people living at the home and staff was also made at the inspection. The management’s submission of documentation was also considered prior to the site visit. The focus of this inspection was to look at the key standards. What the service does well: When staff are recruited to care homes there are safety checks that need to be done, this helps to protect the people living at the home. Management must make sure for example, that they receive at least two references and carry out a check known as a Criminal Records Bureau check, this helps them to decide if the person is going to be suitable to work with vulnerable people.

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): 1, 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. Pre admission assessments are sufficient to provide staff with an overview of each persons needs and indicate the individual care and support the person will need. EVIDENCE: A copy of the Statement of Purpose and the Service User Guide were examined, the documents in the main contained the details required to inform prospective residents on the management and staffing arrangements at the home and the range of services available. This assists people to make an informed choice as to whether the home can meet their needs. The Willows Residential and Nursing Home DS0000071839.V376862.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Each bedroom has a copy of the Service User Guide available for quick reference. However specific timescales need to be included on how long the service will take to respond to a complaint. Trial visits continue to be encouraged to enable prospective residents to look around the home and meet other people at the home. Within the care plans viewed there was records of pre admission assessments having been carried out prior to admission, the assessments had identified the range of peoples health, personal, spiritual and emotional needs. This resulted in a very clear picture of the individual needs of the person. Two people spoken with confirmed that they had been fully involved in their assessment; they had been given the opportunity to influence their own assessment.

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. Care plans provide the information needed by staff so that they are able to provide a consistent level of care and support. EVIDENCE: Care plans were seen to be up to date and sufficient in their content to guide staff in how they should support the person, all plans had been revised since the last inspection.

Everyone is assessed each month, or more often if the person is unwell for example. Tools that are used by staff in the home include Waterlow (pressure ulcer risk assessment) and MUST to identify if the person might be at risk of developing a pressure ulcer or becoming malnourished. The care plans and risk assessments identify who is at risk and what action is being taken to reduce the risk. In addition two people had plans written by the Nutrition and Dietetics Department at Bedford Hospital. People living at the home through discussion confirmed they received the medical support that they needed. Medication stocks were examined alongside the records relating to this area. The storage of medication was seen to meet national guidance in this area. Records of ordering medication were in place and provided the start of an audit trail.

The need to have to undertake audits at least monthly must be carried out, this will ensure that any failure is identified swiftly and action taken. Information supplied by the service showed that there is a visiting exercise teacher who does exercises with some of the people on a weekly basis. This person was actually visiting at the time of this ispection. They also provided a quiz and reminsence therapy.
