What the care home does well

What has improved since the last inspection?

The home was continuing to work with the residents in developing their person centred plans. This meant that residents were involved in the decision making about how they wished to be cared for, what was important to them and what their aspirations were. The home made sure that the Statement of Purpose was kept up to date to reflect changes in staff training and recruitment of new staff. This meant anyone enquiring about the service had up to date information.

What the care home could do better:

Overall the home was managed in the best interest of the residents. However, there were some things which could be improved on. These included:The home needed to bring together the findings of their annual surveys completed by residents and stakeholders and put them into the annual published report. The home needed to make sure that the residents accessing the hot water in the kitchen were kept safe. This included carrying out a risk assessment. By undertaking the assessment the home would identify if any further steps were needed to ensure the residents` safety was not compromised. The home needed to show that they were checking the water temperatures accessed independently by the residents, to make sure they did not exceed 44 Celsius and compromise their safety.The home needed to provide an audit trail that confirmed the care plan was kept under review and updated where changes emerged. The home`s good practices on using pictorial aids to support written text in various records needed to be extended to house meeting minutes. By making this improvement the home would be ensuring that residents diverse needs were considered.

The inspector went to the home without telling anyone she was going to visit on the morning Monday 19th February 2007. The inspector spent 3 hours visiting the home. During the visit to the home the inspector: • Spoke with all residents • Spoke with the staff on duty • Looked at some residents care plan records. • Looked around the home. There were some important things the inspector wanted to find out about the care given by the home. These were: • • • • How the health needs of residents were met. How the personal care needs of residents were met. How the staff helped to keep residents safe and promoted community involvement. How the home respected the residents rights, diversity and identity. This report has also taken into account other information, which the Commission knew about the home. What the service does well: The residents spoken with said. • They were happy living at the home. • They felt the staff listened to them and acted on any concerns. • They said they received the support to help them stay healthy. • They felt they could make decisions independent of the staff. All the information received through talking with the residents showed that the residents felt cared for, they were supported to stay healthy and staff valued the residents’ contribution in decision-making. The staff had been trained in meeting the care needs of residents and were sufficiently skilled to meet the everyday needs of residents, which in turn meant their health and welfare was safeguarded. All residents were supported to go on holiday at least once a year, although often this was several times. The holidays reflected the personal preferences of the individual resident. The residents had access to a range of communitybased activities including opportunities to learn, meet people with similar interests and keep healthy. All these things meant residents were being supported to be included in their community and that activities took account of their diverse needs. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 The residents were seen to be treated as individuals and the staff team provided care that reflected the residents’ rights and preserved their dignity and privacy. This meant that the staff team understood the importance of respecting and seeing the house as the residents’ home. The staff rotas showed that the staffing was set to meet the needs of the residents. This showed that there were enough staff to make sure residents were kept safe and adequately supported. Information seen about the support of staff showed they were themselves well supported by their manager and encouraged to develop their skills to better meet residents’ social and health needs. Families stated in returned questionnaires that:“Beechpark delivers the highest standard of Care”. “St Bonaventures (owners) delivers a standard of care that in my opinion would be very difficult to match” These comments showed the families satisfaction of the quality of care provided. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: Overall the home was managed in the best interest of the residents. However, there were some things which could be improved on. These included:The home needed to bring together the findings of their annual surveys completed by residents and stakeholders and put them into the annual published report. The home needed to make sure that the residents accessing the hot water in the kitchen were kept safe. This included carrying out a risk assessment. By undertaking the assessment the home would identify if any further steps were needed to ensure the residents’ safety was not compromised. The home needed to show that they were checking the water temperatures accessed independently by the residents, to make sure they did not exceed 44 Celsius and compromise their safety. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 The home needed to provide an audit trail that confirmed the care plan was kept under review and updated where changes emerged. The home’s good practices on using pictorial aids to support written text in various records needed to be extended to house meeting minutes. By making this improvement the home would be ensuring that residents diverse needs were considered. Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Residents’ changing needs were assessed which in turn helped the home to plan and ensure their needs were continually met. EVIDENCE: The home had a static resident group, which had resulted in the home not receiving any new admission for some years. As part of the ongoing care of residents a multi agency review was held a minimum of once each year. This involved the resident’s needs being reassessed and updated where changes were highlighted. This in turn helped to inform the care plan about any changes in needs, including the resident’s health, social and emotional wellbeing. This process ensured that the overall needs of residents were being monitored and staff kept updated about any specific changes. The home had a policy on admissions. As part of the admission process all prospective users of the service were invited for trial visits to meet other residents and provided with information about the home to help them to decide if the home was suitable. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6,7,9 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents benefited from having a comprehensive care plan that highlighted their needs. This included having their care, health and diverse needs recorded and balancing risks that enabled them to maintain a level of independence over their lives. The only slight weakness was that it missed the formal evidence to show the plan was kept under review. EVIDENCE: Two out of three Care plans were examined. Both plans were detailed and comprehensive. Both plans were extensively supported by pictorial aids to help the resident to be actively involved. From talking with residents they were found to be familiar with their care plan and its contents. If a resident was able to sign, their signature was included on the plan. The care plan covered details about meeting the resident’s diverse needs both in areas of spiritual and social need. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The format of the plan made the whole document easy to read. Where health needs were identified detailed explanation was provided which informed staff about how best to keep the resident healthy and safe. The management of risk was incorporated into the plan in a person centred approach. The care plan was found to be respectful of the wishes of the resident. It highlighted the things that were important to the resident and why. It also explained about the things that the resident disliked and why. The level of detail recorded in the care plan and its overall development was commended. The deputy on duty confirmed that where changes in needs emerged the plan was updated. However, from examining the plan no formal evidence was held that confirmed this took place. The home needed to ensure dates and references to changes were made to demonstrate formally that the plan was kept under review. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17.

Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,15,16 & 17 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The residents were able to exercise their rights, including having their privacy and their diverse needs valued by the staff. The home also enabled residents to choose their own daily routines, maintain family links and have a varied and nutritious diet. EVIDENCE: From talking with the residents they explained they were supported to develop / maintain their independence. They confirmed that with support they were encouraged to access a range of activities both through the organisation and the wider community.

They were asked about where they would like to go. One resident spoke about looking forward to their trip to ‘Lourdes’ in April. Another resident spoke about going to York. The trust owned a caravan in Wales which residents were able to access several times a year for breaks. Everyone indicated their enjoyment of going to the caravan. The staff team were found to be actively investigating various educational courses for the residents that reflected their personal likes and needs. From examining a sample of care plans evidence was seen that the diversity of residents was respected by the home. Details about spiritual and culture needs were comprehensive. A sample of menus were examined. Also residents were asked about food. It was found that healthy eating was promoted and that meals served were varied, respected cultural needs and diverse in meeting the dietary needs of individual residents. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21.

This included walking and taking a bike ride. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Medication records were examined and found to be well maintained with an audit trail that indicated medication was administered in accordance with the GP’s instructions. Within the care plan the home had addressed the subject of planning for life, illness and death. This was seen to be done in a sensitive manner and respected the wishes of the resident and their family. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period.

The residents’ views were listened to and acted on. Policies and procedures and training programmes were in place that the staff team were required to attend and follow. This ensured that residents were safeguarded from all forms of abuse. EVIDENCE: From examining staff training records evidence was found which demonstrated a number of staff had completed courses on POVA (Protection of Vulnerable Adults). Of the Staff spoken with, they were found to be familiar with the importance of safeguarding residents from all forms of abuse. The home had a complaints procedure, which was made available to residents. The home had not had any complaint made about the service since their last inspection. A questionnaire completed with the residents by the home, asked questions about being happy or sad. All residents indicated being happy.

This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There were good practices in staff training and staffing levels which reflected the needs of the residents. This meant that there were adequate staff to make sure residents are well cared for and their welfare protected. EVIDENCE: The staff that were on duty confirmed that there were two staff from 7:00am until 10:00pm. At night one staff would be on duty from 10:00pm on sleep in duty. There was no dedicated domestic or cook. These jobs were carried out by the staff team, and residents confirmed they were encouraged to participate where appropriate, which they stated they enjoyed. Staff on duty were able to confirm that most staff have either completed or were in the process of completing NVQ training. This meant that out of 6 staff 5 held an NVQ. Staff on duty said that they had access to ongoing training and development opportunities and said that they felt well supported by the management. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 From examining two staff files evidence on going training and development was confirmed. From examining a sample of staff files evidence was found that showed staff were receiving regular supervision from their line manager.

Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39,41,42 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Overall, areas of management and health and safety were good, although the failure to check the water temperatures did pose a risk to the residents’ health. A quality assurance systems and internal monitoring of care were in place. However, information was not brought together to provide sufficient evidence of the organisation self-assessing their quality of care. EVIDENCE: The residents had access to information in a variety of formats and were able to select the one most appropriate for them. However, this good practice did not extend to the house meeting minutes. Policies and procedures were in place for health and safety, and appropriate insurance with public liability cover was in place. However, it was noted that water temperatures were not routinely checked to ensure that they did not exceed the 44 Celsius. During the visit the temperatures were checked. The wash basin independently accessed by the residents were found to be within 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 the safe zone of 44 Celsius. To ensure that the safety of residents is maintained it was recommended that the home routinely check the temperatures and record the findings and where necessary take action to ensure residents safety is not compromised. The home was routinely seeking the views of residents through house meetings, questionnaires and through their care plans. This was all good practice. Stakeholders’ views were also sought including sending out questionnaires. Some of the comments made by families included: “Beechpark delivers the highest standard of Care”. “St Bonaventures (owners) delivers a standard of care that in my opinion would be very difficult to match” The home had in place a Quality Assurance Statement / Report for 2006/07 which was examined. This provided evidence of the aims and objectives for the service. However, it had not linked the findings of the questionnaires received by residents and stakeholders into the report. No link had been made with the aims and objectives of the service. Also no evidence shown in the report how the organisation had self-assessed the care provided to residents. The manager was not on duty at the time of the site visit. 11 Beechpark Avenue DS0000029483.V313986.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 SCORING OF OUTCOMES This page summarises the assessment of the extent to which the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Adults 18-65 have been met and uses the following scale.
