This means that the people who use this Service experience good quality outcomes. The Commission since 1 April 2006 has developed the way it undertakes its inspection of care services. This inspection of the Service was an unannounced “Key Inspection”. The Inspector arrived at the Service at 09.15 and was in the Service for about six hours. It was a thorough look at how well the Service is doing. It took into account detailed information provided by the Registered Provider. Further, it considered any information that the Commission has received about the Service since the last inspection. There is one Requirement at the end of this Report. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? Various ongoing repairs to the premises have been completed. A number of training courses have been provided for nurses and care workers.

Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 DETAILS OF INSPECTOR FINDINGS CONTENTS Choice of Home (Standards 1–6) Health and Personal Care (Standards 7-11) Daily Life and Social Activities (Standards 12-15) Complaints and Protection (Standards 16-18) Environment (Standards 19-26) Staffing (Standards 27-30) Management and Administration (Standards 31-38) Scoring of Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Choice of Home 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): Standards 3 and 6. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. People who might want to move in have their needs and preferences identified so that they can be met. EVIDENCE: The Director of Nursing and the Registered Manager complete an assessment of each prospective person’s needs for assistance. This is done before a decision is made about whether or not the Service is a suitable place for the person’s residence. The assessment is completed in consultation with the person concerned. As appropriate, members of their family are involved. When applicable, care managers (social workers) are also asked to make a contribution. One set of records relating to this matter was reviewed. They showed that suitable consideration had been given to important subjects such Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 as the person’s mobility, their particular health care needs and their preferred lifestyle. The Service offers residence to people who do not plan to make it their longerterm home. This might be because they have been in hospital and are not quite ready to go back to their own home. Or, it might be because they live at home and they want to give their carers some time to themselves. These people are assisted to recover their strength and they receive help with their rehabilitation before going home. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.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): Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. People are provided with the personal and health care they need. Suitable systems are used to retain and dispense medication. EVIDENCE: The people in residence say that the nurses and the care workers offer them all the assistance they need. There is a written individual plan of care for each person. These are important documents. This is because they form one of the means by which people can be informed about and can agree to the assistance they will receive. Also, the plans are a source of information for staff. This then helps them to provide nursing care and personal care in a consistent manner. The Inspector examined four of these plans. They were clear and suitably detailed. For example, they contained relevant information about the Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 assistance the people need in relation to the promotion of continence and the maintenance of personal hygiene. There was also information about mobility needs. There was evidence that plans are kept under active review so that they remain up to date. The Inspector spoke with two care workers. They have a good knowledge of the assistance the four people need and of their role. Sensible steps are taken to ensure that people do not have any avoidable accidents. For example, someone can choose to have bed rails fitted if they are worried about rolling out of bed. People are assisted to maintain their health. Nurses and care workers are alert to the need to identify occasions when someone is becoming unwell. This is so that medical assistance can be sought promptly. Family practitioners are called and when they are needed. Since the last inspection, the Registered Manager has also consulted with specialist heart care nurses, with wound care nurses and with physiotherapists. None of the people in residence manage their own medication. The Registered Manager said that this option is actively considered and that people will be assisted to do this if this is their wish. There is a system to check that the correct medicines are received from the pharmacist. Once in the Service, they are stored securely. There is a procedure for administering medicines that is designed to double check that the right medicines are given to the right people at the right time. There is a record that is completed on each occasion that a medicine is dispensed. The people in residence unreservedly praise the members of staff. They say that they are courteous and attentive. Two people summed up the general mood in their comments. One said, “they (the staff) are quite wonderful really. You only have to ask for something and it’s there. The staff are all kind and they always have a chat when they are passing. You couldn’t ask for more really. No I’ve no complaints at all”. The other person said, “the staff are so helpful and they really care about us, they do whatever they can for us and they are all so patient. I can only speak highly of each of them. Even the senior staff are very friendly and you feel that staff get on well with each other”. The Inspector noted how nurses and care workers chatted with the people in residence and how they were respectful in their manner. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.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): Standards 12, 13, 14 and 15. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. There is only a limited calendar of social activities. People are free to spend the day as they wish. Good quality meals are served. EVIDENCE: There is a calendar of social events held in the Service. This involves an activities coordinator who calls one day a week to do small group and one to one activities. As and when the weather permits, some of the people are accompanied for short walks outside to get some fresh air. In the summer, there are events such as a garden party. Also, last year there was a barbecue and a trip out to a local garden centre. At Christmas there are the normal festivities. About once every three months, there is an entertainer who calls to the Service to play music. Apart from this there are no other organised activities. The Registered Manager is going to ask each person if they would Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 like to see any additional social opportunities provided. This exercise is going to be completed by 1 June 2008. The people in residence say that the pace of daily life in the Service is relaxed and unhurried. They say that they are free to decide what to do each day. One person observed, “things really are free and easy, it’s not like I thought a nursing home would be. You know all medical and too starchy. No, it’s like a home from home”. People are assisted to keep in touch with members of their families, if this is necessary and if it is their wish. Family members and friends are welcome to call to the Service at any reasonable time. The Registered Manager keeps in touch with family members so that they know how things are going. People say that they receive good quality meals and that they have enough to eat. They consider meal times to be a relaxed and pleasant experience. There is a choice of dish available at each mealtime. The menu provides people with a normal healthy diet. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 16 - 18 are: 16. 17. 18. Service users and their relatives and friends are confident that their complaints will be listened to, taken seriously and acted upon. Service users’ legal rights are protected. Service users are protected from abuse. The Commission considers Standards 16 and 18 the key standards to be. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 16 and 18. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. There is a complaints procedure. The wellbeing of the people in residence is safeguarded. EVIDENCE: There is a written complaints procedure. This explains how the people in residence and other interested parties can go about raising a concern. It has recently been altered to explain that people can approach the Commission direct rather than having to first use the Registered Provider’s internal procedure. Also, the contact details for the Commission have been updated. The Registered Provider is now going to give a copy of the altered procedure to all of the people in residence and/or to their representatives by 1 June 2008. Neither the Registered Provider nor the Commission, have received a complaint about the Service since the last Key Inspection. There is a written statement of the Registered Provider’s commitment to promote the wellbeing of the people in residence. The nurses and care workers are aware of how to go about safeguarding in practice the interests of the Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 people who live in the Service. This includes being alert to things that are not obvious, such as someone becoming withdrawn or appearing to be anxious. All of the people with whom the Inspector spoke say that they feel safe living in Victoria 63 Dyke Road Avenue. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 19 – 26 are: 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. Service users live in a safe, well-maintained environment. Service users have access to safe and comfortable indoor and outdoor communal facilities. Service users have sufficient and suitable lavatories and washing facilities. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. Service users’ own rooms suit their needs. Service users live in safe, comfortable bedrooms with their own possessions around them. Service users live in safe, comfortable surroundings. The home is clean, pleasant and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 19 and 26 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 19, 22, 25 and 26. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. The people in residence live in a comfortable setting that promotes their independence. EVIDENCE: The accommodation is generally is presented to a good domestic standard. The communal rooms and the bedrooms are decorated and furnished in a homely and comfortable way. There was a leak the day before the inspection visit that damaged part of the ceiling in the lounge. The Registered Provider said that this matter will be addressed by 1 July 2008. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 When visiting one person in their bedroom, the Inspector noticed that there was considerable staining on the ceiling and wall in the en-suite bathroom. This is very unsightly. The Registered Provider has been attempting to locate the source of the leak so that it can be repaired. There is a Requirement in relation to this matter at the end of this Report. The premises are fitted with an automated fire detection system. This provides a high level of fire safety protection. The Registered Provider has prepared a fire risk assessment. This has been done to ensure that there are no particular hazards that might undermine the level of protection in place. The assessment has identified a small number of items that need attention. The Registered Provider says that these will be completed by 1 August 2008. Most of the food preparation for all of the Registered Provider’s services is done in the central kitchen at another of the Registered Provider’s local service. Prepared food is then taken around to the other services. The kitchen in Victoria 63 Dyke Road Avenue is used to keep the food hot and for the preparation of light snacks. The main kitchen and the smaller kitchen are clean and well organised. The staff who are directly involved in food preparation and food handling follow the principles of good food management. For example, they are aware of the importance of maintaining hygiene and they know how both cooked and uncooked foods should be stored. The local Department of Environmental Health has not identified the need for any improvement to be made in the Service. Suitable provision has been made to support those people who experience difficulties with getting about. There is a bathroom that is equipped with a fixed hoist. There is also a walk-in shower located in a wet room. Also, there are mobile hoists that can be used in people’s bedrooms. There are banister rails and at key places there are assistance poles. These are fitted to the wall and they are there for people to hold onto for extra support. People say that they receive the assistance they need. Care workers consider that enough equipment has been provided to support them when helping people to get about. The people in residence say that the accommodation is comfortably warm. The accommodation was warm on the day of the inspection. There is a constant supply of hot water. Sensible steps have been taken to help reduce the chance of someone being burnt or scalded accidentally. The radiators are fitted with guards and hot water taps are temperature controlled. The people in residence say that their clothes are well laundered in that they are returned to them promptly and they are in a clean and presentable condition. The Registered Provider is going to check with the local water supply company to make sure that it complies with new regulations about preventing used water from leaking back into the main pipe-work. This will be done by 1 July 2008. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 27 – 30 are: 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users’ needs are met by the numbers and skill mix of staff. Service users are in safe hands at all times. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Staff are trained and competent to do their jobs. The Commission consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 27, 28, 29 and 30. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. The Service is adequately staffed by trustworthy people who know what they are doing. EVIDENCE: In the morning and until the early afternoon, there are four care workers and one nurse on duty. This number reduces to two care workers and one nurse until the night staff begin. At night, there are two care workers and one nurse on waking duty. Most of the catering is completed by the chef in the main kitchen. The care workers do straightforward things such preparing porridge and toast for the breakfasts. There is a server who serves the lunchtime and then who washes up. There are housekeepers who do most of the cleaning. There are nine care workers employed in the Service. Six of them have acquired a National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) in health and social care. This Award is useful because it provides care workers with a range of opportunities to confirm elements of good care practice and to extend their range of skills. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 The Registered Provider completes a number of security checks in relation to new nurses and care workers. This is done to ensure that they are trustworthy people who are suitable to have unsupervised access to the people in residence. Two sets of the records relating to this matter were reviewed. They showed that the necessary checks had been completed. New nurses and care workers receive introductory training before they work without direct supervision. This is done to make sure that they have the skills and knowledge they will need in order to support effectively the people in residence. The subjects covered include assisted movement, care planning, the promotion of continence, skin care, fire safety and the safeguarding of vulnerable adults. After that, the nurses and care workers are provided with ongoing training. This is designed to develop further their ability to provide a high quality nursing and residential care experience. Some aspects of the way in which this training is planned, delivered and recorded are not as clear as they might be. The Registered Provider is recommended to address this by introducing a competency assessment model that is recognised by the Commission to constitute good practice. The Inspector spoke with two of the care workers to assess their understanding of the personal care needs of the people using the Service. For example, they were familiar with their roles in relation to the promotion of continence, to helping people get about and to enabling people to avoid conditions such as pressure sores. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Management and Administration The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 38 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. Service users live in a home which is run and managed by a person who is fit to be in charge, of good character and able to discharge his or her responsibilities fully. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. The home is run in the best interests of service users. Service users are safeguarded by the accounting and financial procedures of the home. Service users’ financial interests are safeguarded. Staff are appropriately supervised. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping, policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users and staff are promoted and protected. The Commission considers Standards 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 31, 33, 35, 36 and 38. People who use the Service experience good outcomes. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the Service. The Service is well managed. There is a quality assurance system. Sensible provision has been made to promote the health and safety of the people in residence. EVIDENCE: The Registered Manager is a Registered General Nurse. She has a good understanding of how the Service runs in practice. Various things are done to promote good teamwork. There are staff meetings. Also, there are handover meetings at the beginning and end of each shift. These are important because Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 they help individual nurses and care workers to keep up to date with how things are going for each of the people who use the Service. Several things are done to consult with the people in residence about how well the Service is running. These include informal discussions with each person. All of the people in residence with whom the Inspector spoke, emphasised how much they feel themselves to be involved in things. One person summarised the overall mood when she observed, “The girls (staff) don’t just come and do things to you and for you, they are more like friends who are willing to help as and when it is needed. I’m often asked my views about how things are going and I feel quite okay about saying what I think, because it’s that sort of open atmosphere here”. There is also a more organised system that involves people being invited to complete questionnaires. The Inspector examined the 18 questionnaires completed by the people in residence and the five questionnaires completed by relatives. There was a high level of satisfaction expressed with the facilities and services provided in the Service. The Registered Provider is now going to develop further the quality assurance system. This will be done by extending the process of consultation to include members of staff. Also, it will mean that the results of the consultation exercise will be summarised in an annual quality report. This report will explain what action is to be taken in relation to any suggested improvements. The Registered Provider is going to complete the first of these quality reports in time for its results to be notified to the Commission in 2009 when it submits its next Annual Quality Assurance Audit. The Registered Provider assists some the people in residence to manage their personal spending allowance. This is done for the convenience of the people, so that they have enough funds to hand to purchase everyday goods and services. The Inspector examined two sets of the records of the transactions involved. They were found to show that people’s monies are being retained and spent in a suitable manner. The people in residence say that they are satisfied with this aspect of the assistance they receive. Each of the nurses and care workers meets regularly with someone senior to review their work and to plan things such as attending training courses. Regular checks are completed to ensure that the Service’s fire safety equipment remains in good working order. The monthly visual checks of the fire extinguishers are not being recorded in the correct manner. The Registered Manager said that this oversight will be put right without delay. Members of staff know what to do if there is a fire emergency. For example, two care workers correctly described how to go about calling the local fire and rescue service and they were aware of the proper use of fire restraining doors. Also, they knew where to gather for instructions in the event of the fire alarm sounding. Victoria DS0000014070.V359523.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Items of equipment such as the passenger lift, the hoists and gas appliances are being inspected and serviced in the correct manner. The Registered Provider says that the electrical wiring installation has been certified as being safe-worthy. However, the certificate to demonstrate this could not be located. The Registered Provider is going to submit to the Commission a new certificate when the installation is re-inspected later in the year. There have not been any significant accidents or other unwelcome events in the Service since the last Key Inspection that are a cause for concern. The Registered Manager examines the circumstances surrounding anyone having an accident such as a fall. This is done so any steps necessary can be taken to help prevent it happening again. The Registered Provider checks the premises and the accommodation to ensure that there are no hazards that might cause someone to have an accident.
