The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

Much support is given to residents that are ill and require additional support to meet their needs. Staff members ensure both emotional and physical support is offered and residents are supported with dignity and respect. Residents are empowered to voice their opinions, make their needs known, make choices and be involved in the general running of the home. This service is operating satisfactorily in all areas other than those listed within the requirements and recommendations.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Progress has been made towards complying with a requirement made at the last inspection to ensure certain risk assessments were in place. However where there have been significant changes in identified need this must be reflected in the risk assessments and care documentation. Unless mentioned throughout this report the requirements and recommendations made at the last inspection have been met.

What the care home could do better:

Care plans and risk asessments must be updated to ensure they relect the residents current assessed needs. Examples of risk assessments and care plans needed are; mobility and transferring from the bed to the chair etc, refusing food and fluids, refusing medication, pressure area care and mouth care. Residents and staff will benefit from clearer guidelines that increase confidence in care delivery. Medication systems were examined . A `controlled drugs register` must be put in place and all controlled drugs recieved into the home must be adequately recorded. An immediate requirement was left at the home and a second medication inspection will be carried out by the pharmacy inspector for the CSCI. This will ensure the homes compliance with medication procedures and pharmaceutical guidelines in place to ensure the protection of staff and residents. Residents will benefit from clearly written individual wishes regarding dying and death. This will ensure a residents last wishes are respected. Records show staff fire training is not taking place within the 6 monthly timescale as indicated by the Avon Fire Brigade. A requirement has been made to ensure the safety and welfare of the staff and residents at the home. An ongoing requirement is to ensure all records relating to staff recruitment are held on the premises. This is an organisational issue and the organisation must take responsibility for this significant shortfall.

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 standard(s) 1-4 Prospective residents have adequate information needed to make an informed choice on service provision. They have the opportunity to ‘test drive’ the placement prior to admission. EVIDENCE: The statement of purpose was seen at the last inspection and since there have been no changes within the home it has not been reviewed. The service user guide is in place and residents have been given a copy. When a vacancy arises Residents are invited to complete a ‘staggered’ admissions process. The assessment document viewed by the inspector and completed by the relevant social services prior to the residents’ admission into the home covered all aspects of personal care and daily living, personal safety and social interaction, mobility, health and financial arrangements. This linked closely to the care plans and includes the residents’ preferred form of address and how they communicate. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 9 The inspector examined one plan of care and through case tracking noted some evidence to show that the assessed needs of the resident were being met. The inspector spoke with another resident who said she was ‘ok and comfortable’. This plan of care however requires attention and will be further discussed in standard 6. A Staff member spoken with on the day of the inspection confirmed that the staff team supported residents to attend various health appointments. The inspector saw staff members communicating effectively with residents. There was evidence of appropriate contact with the general practitioner, dentist, chiropodist and opticians services. Various reports were made available to the inspector. There were detailed physiotherapy reports and the appropriate equipment was on order. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 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 standard(s) 6,7,9 Changing needs and personal goals are not identified in a residents care plan and risk assessments do not reflect appropriate risks. EVIDENCE: One resident who remains unwell was spoken with and documentation examined in respect of her. The new ‘planning for life’ folder had not been adequately completed and therefore essential information was left out. Her care plan or risk assessments did not reflect her current needs. Requirements are therefore made to ensure that her assessed needs are adequately recorded and the appropriate risk assessments are in place. Examples of risk assessments and care plans needed include mobility and transferring from the bed to the chair etc, refusing food and fluids, refusing medication, pressure area care, mouth care, continence etc. It was evident however that this resident received a lot of love and support throughout the day and night. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 The inspector is aware that there is a quality assurance system in the home where residents are asked for their views. This was not examined on this occasion. As a result of a requirement made a the last inspection there are now clear guidelines in place for staff to follow in the event of one resident having a seizure. This includes when to call the emergency services. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. 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 standard(s) 12,13,14,15,17 Residents are offered a healthy balanced diet and enjoy their meals. Residents take part in age appropriate activitities supported by the home and by various day care staff. Family links are encouraged and supported. EVIDENCE: Residents are integrated into the community through using local shops, hairdressing and health care facilities. The leisure centre is sometimes accessed along with the Baptist church. Staff support residents to use the community by providing transport in the form of staff cars, a motobility car and public transport. The home blends well with its neighbouring properties, it is well decorated and homely in appearance. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 13 Residents are supported to visit local pubs for lunch or dinner and often support local fetes and sales. At the last inspection the manager said choices regarding activities and outings could be made through the residents meetings held approximately every 2 months. One staff member confirmed information was also made available to residents in the form of leaflets or catalogues. One staff member explained how she involved family members in the decision making process. It was explained that friends and relatives are encouraged to visit the home and residents are supported to visit their relatives. The inspector examined the menu book and noted menus were planned on a daily basis. The inspector heard staff members offering lunch choices and these were all recorded. Staff and residents confirmed that choices were met whenever possible and staff were aware of the likes and dislikes of the current resident group. One resident when asked if the food was nice said ‘its ok nice’. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 14 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18-21 Residents are supported in a way they prefer with regards personal care and are assured of positive attention and love. Physical and healthcare needs are met although this is often not recorded. Residents cannot be assured of safe medication practices and procedures for the storage and recording of medications must be adhered too. EVIDENCE: It was noted that one resident had input from the St Peters Hospice nursing team. The district nurse and general practitioner has regular input and liaise with the home about the care provided. Mouth care sponges were available although the inspector observed the resident in question taking fluids. It was confirmed that fluid intake was not yet a problem. This must be included in the plan of care for future reference as previously discussed in this report. The district nurses have carried out a ‘waterlow’ assessment, which revealed a currently low risk of pressure areas developing. This must be regularly reviewed. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 15 The appropriate equipment has been provided including an ‘electric’ bed which the resident said is ‘ok’. Staff were observed supporting this person in a gentle and empowering way, always offering assurance and providing various choices. Dealing with ‘death and dying’ policies are in place and the deputy ensured they were readily available to staff. Although she was able to tell the inspector of one persons requirements after death and wishes of the family members this had not been recorded. A requirement was made on the day of this inspection to ensure the section in the planning for life folder entitled ‘my wishes in the event of my death’ are adequately recorded. The medication administration record sheets were examined and it was noted that the home now stock ‘controlled drugs’ available for appropriately assessed pain relief. It was noted that there was no controlled drug register in place and advice was sought from Sue Fuller the pharmacy inspector from the CSCI. An immediate requirement was left in respect of drug recording and the pharmacy inspector will carry out a full medication review on Thursday 15th September 05. The home has a walk in shower facility to meet the needs of those residents who are growing older and whose mobility needs are changing. The home has a stair lift in place to enable residents’ easy access to personal bedrooms. Its use has now been risk assessed. Records show that additional specialist support is accessed where necessary, this includes input from the physiotherapist, speech therapist and occupational therapist. Staff members told the inspector that individuals are supported to chose and buy their own clothes and visit the hairdressers, the inspector saw that the residents’ appearance reflects their personality. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 22,23 Residents are protected from abuse and harm and know their views will be listened to. EVIDENCE: The complaints book now takes the following format: Date, nature of complaint, action taken and timescale, outcome and signature. The inspector saw that the complaints procedure was available in the service user guide this includes details of how to contact the CSCI. How to make a complaint was also detailed on the notice board in the kitchen. The staff member spoken with said the staff team and residents were supported to complain. There were 2-recorded complaints since the last inspection and these were both acted upon. Staff act as advocates. A staff member spoken with at the last inspection told the inspector that a member of the staff team attends a monthly ‘communication’ meeting. These meetings are used as a forum to discuss concerns, managerial and organisational issues. Although the staff member spoken with was aware of the ‘no secrets’ document and the varying types of abuse, the inspector recommends that all staff have annual refreshers on the subject of the protection of vulnerable adults. At the last inspection the manager confirmed that ‘restraint’ is not used at this home although lap straps and the appropriate belts are used for safety on the stair lift and in the wheelchair and car. The inspector was pleased to note at this inspection that the appropriate risk assessments had been put in place. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 17 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms.

The home was clean and tidy on the day of the inspection. Living space is of an adequate size and both comfortable and homely. There is a large wellmaintained garden with adequate seating. At the last inspection it was noted that one bedroom smelt strongly of urine. This was not apparent on the day of this unannounced inspection and there were no unpleasant odours throughout the home. There are adequate toileting and bathing facilities for the resident group and where appropriate equipment has been provided for those requiring extra support. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36.

EVIDENCE: The inspector examined the duty rota and it was noted that the staffing levels were sufficient to cater for the needs of the current resident group. The staff training folder was discussed with the deputy manager and it was noted that some of the staff team had taken advantage of the loss and bereavement training offered. Other training accessed was the medication system and the history of learning disability. One staff member is attending a racial abuse and discrimination training day in order to support her in dealing with one resident who uses racially unacceptable language. This has been discussed with the resident in question. Staff said they felt confident in meeting the needs of the current resident group. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 19 Records regarding staffing and employment continue to be held at the Brandon Trust HQ. There is an ongoing requirement that all records be kept at the home. This is being considered by the CSCI. The manager has confirmed that she has viewed all the necessary records and Criminal Record Bureau checks have been undertaken in respect of all staff. Key workers were clear about the care plans set within the home and said much of their role was supporting residents with general healthcare needs, social needs and encouraging independence. A Staff member spoken with said she was familiar with the General Social Care Councils Codes Of Conduct (GSCC). 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 20 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43.

EVIDENCE: The manager holds a nursing qualification (RNMH) and has had at least twenty-three years experience in a managerial role. She holds a national vocational qualification (D32/33) as an assessor as well as the national vocational qualification level 4 in management. She has just completed the registered managers award. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 21 The manager has evidenced that she undertakes periodic training including, team development, person centred planning, recruitment and selection and national vocational qualification standardisation. Additional courses are planned and undertaken as necessary. The fire logbook was examined and it was noted that a fire risk assessment was in place relating to the home. It is strongly recommended that an appropriate fire safety officer approve the fire risk assessment. Records show and the deputy manager confirmed that 6 monthly fire training for all staff was not taking place. This is a requirement. The inspector saw a number of policies and procedures put in place by the organisation and staff are expected to sign up to these policies. There was a specific policy for ‘service user involvement’ that was in an accessible style and encouraged resident involvement in service user forums. The inspector saw the bullying and harassment policy; whistle blowing and other staff related policies as well as generic policies and procedures needed to comply with current legislation. An emergency and crisis policy has been put in place June 2004. The Brandon Trust is a large organisation with overall responsibility for the home. There is a business plan in place that is produced annually; this then feeds into the homes annual plan. Monthly regulation 26 visits take place carried out by the service development manager. The inspector saw the liability insurance document was displayed along with the registration certificate. There are clear lines of accountability throughout the Trust that the staff are aware of. 261 Passage Road D56_D05_S26544_261PassageRd_V248681_130905_Stage4.doc Version 1.40 Page 22 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.
