This inspection was carried out on 10th May 2005.

CSCI has not published a star rating for this report, though using similar criteria we estimate that the report is Poor. The way we rate inspection reports is consistent for all houses, though please be aware that this may be different from an official CSCI judgement.

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

Staff appear to enjoy working at the home and whilst there are only two on each shift, they are diligent in their care of the service users and meet their needs. Generally the goodwill and hard work of staff and the fact that service users are not highly dependent, is keeping the home free from complaint and incidents. All comments from service users were very positive about the Providers and the staff and the care they receive. They all felt that they were given choice and their wishes were always respected. Even though several of the staff could not speak English well the service users felt they were able to communicate effectively with these individuals and that there needs were always met. The food is prepared and cooked by the staff trained to undertake this task. Food seen was prepared and presented well, it looked appetising and service users expressed their satisfaction and enjoyment of the meals and commented that there was always more if you wanted it.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The updating of the Fire measures has been completed. The deputy manager is doing her National Vocational Qualification (NVQ4) in Management

What the care home could do better:

The home needs to ensure that all policies and procedures relating to recruitment and record keeping are fully implemented to ensure the protection of the service users living at Bafford House. The Providers must also ensure that when the Manager/proprietors are absent from the home the staffing levels are adjusted accordingly to ensure the health, safety and well being of service users. They must also ensure that the Commission is notified according to the Care Standard Regulations. The Providers must ensure that every service user, whether long-stay or respite has a full assessment completed prior to admission, and reviewed on admission, care planned and regularly reviewed to ensure that individual needs can be met. Daily records must record any significant events for each service user and procedures in the event of accidents/incidents must be adhered to, to comply with Regulation 37. Individual risk assessments must also be completed as well as regular environmental risk assessments to ensure that a safe environment is provided. The Providers must improve recruitment practice and must ensure that all staff have contracts of employment and written terms and conditions of employment to give the staff employment protection. The home must invest in basic mandatory training for all staff and ensure it is completed and implement alongside this a development programme for all staff. Regular individual supervision and appraisal sessions must be implemented to assist in the formation of the staff development programme. The Providers must ensure that all safety checks, testing and servicing is undertaken and evidence is available for scrutiny by the Commission. When the Providers are absent from the home they must ensure that the Commission is able to access all the records required under the Care Standards Act (2000) and its Regulations. Whilst in the main the service aims to protect service users it is failing to do this in several areas; - Recruitment, staffing, health and safety checks and servicing and this leaves service users potentially at risk. Immediate measures are required to ensure improvements in the situation. Hence this inspection has resulted in three enforcement notices being served. Two for continued non-compliance of seven requirements from the last inspection and one for absence of the Manager without prior notification to the Commission. Six requirements set at the last inspection had a 30th June 2005 completion date these will be assessed when the deadline expires. A further twelve requirements have been made following this inspection. The home will be closely monitored to ensure the enforcement notices and requirements are met and improvements are made.

It is easily accessible by public transport and car. It is an imposing detached residence with a large entrance hall where a cage of parakeets is situated. The accommodation has been adapted to provide fifteen single bedrooms and two double bedrooms, although in practice these rooms are used as singles unless occupied by a couple. Eight bedrooms have en-suite facilities, and all other rooms have hand washbasins. There are three communal bathrooms; one with a hoist. The accommodation is provided over three floors, accessed by a shaft lift or the stairs. There are two lounge areas on the ground floor, a sitting area on the first floor and a dining room on the lower ground floor. The two offices, kitchen and laundry are also located on the lower ground floor. The home is set in extensive gardens and the home has won several awards for the Cheltenham in Bloom competition for its floral displays. To the front and side of the house are parking spaces for several cars for staff and visitors to the home Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This unannounced inspection took place over five and a half hours on one day in May 2005 and was completed by one inspector. Twenty standards for older people were looked at on this occasion five were met, six were almost met and eight were not met and one was not applicable. The inspector spoke to the deputy manager and as well as a number of service users and one visitor. Appropriate records and a selection of care plans relating to the service users spoken with or newly admitted were looked at. The service users appear well cared for and well nourished and all their care needs are met and those talked with confirmed their satisfaction with the care, nutrition and staff. However, one individual who is temporarily placed at the home on ‘respite care’ requires urgent reassessment, as to the appropriateness of the placement at the home. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection? The updating of the Fire measures has been completed. The deputy manager is doing her National Vocational Qualification (NVQ4) in Management Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 6 What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection. The report of this inspection is available from enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk or by contacting your local CSCI office. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 7 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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 8 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 2 &3. 6 is not applicable. Each service users is reported to have a contract but these were not available for scrutiny due to the absence of the Provider/Manager. Arrangements are in place to ensure that each prospective service user is fully assessed prior to admission, to confirm that all their particular care needs may be met in the Home. EVIDENCE: Service users are assessed prior to and on admission although documentation seen for a service user admitted on respite care had not been completed. Only basic details had been taken and family contact numbers. There was no documented assessment of activities of daily living or baseline information about this service user. The service user is independent and has short-term memory loss and is leaving the home and making his way to a relative’s house. This poses a safety risk for the service user and the home as the home does not have a keypad door entry system and is not staffed sufficiently to deal with service users who wander out of the home. The service user requires an immediate reassessment to find an alternative placement, as this is not an appropriate placement. Whilst this process is undertaken it is imperative that Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 the assessment documentation and risk assessments are completed and staffing levels are improved. Completed signed copies of terms and conditions for admission to the home are reportedly filed in the service users’ records. Service users contracts were not available to be seen by the inspector, as the deputy Manager did not have access to them. It was not evident that service users/advocates are provided with a contract, terms and conditions and details of the breakdown of charges in the Home to comply with the Office of Fair Trading Standards 2004. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 7,8 and 10 There is a comprehensive care planning system in place to ensure that all members of staff have a clear understanding of the care each person requires. Service users who were able to converse with the inspector confirmed that they were treated with respect and that they had choice in their daily routine. They were addressed in a manner that they were comfortable with and were not told what they could do or could not do. EVIDENCE: Six care plans were selected for inspection. Five contained a plan of care based on a comprehensive care needs assessment. Reviews are undertaken monthly although some examined were in need of review. Input from the community nursing team is recorded in the documentation. A fully detailed assessment, care plan or risk assessment, however, had not been prepared for a new service user to cover all identified care needs ie; diabetes, poor short term memory and a tendency to ‘wander’. Staffing was also not adequate on some shifts to meet the identified needs of some service users ie; a service users assessment noted that they required two to transfer and only one carer was on duty, on one shift noted on the duty rota. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 13 and 15 Daily routines are managed as flexibly as possible to suit the individual preferences of service users living at the Home. Visitors are encouraged and links with the community are maintained where possible Nutritious meals are provided and specialist diets catered for. EVIDENCE: Relatives and friends call in to see the service users; they were greeted in a friendly manner by the staff. Some chatted in one of the communal areas; others chose the privacy of their bedrooms. One service user was going out to the supermarket with her son and she told the inspector that she thoroughly enjoyed doing this. Staff were observed always knocking on doors before walking in and speaking to any service user they came into contact with. Three service users confirmed that they are able to choose where they spend their days, what times they get up/ go to bed and what they will have to eat. The meal on the day was gammon with parsley sauce, mash potato and sprouts with ice cream for dessert. Served with juice from jugs. Service user expressed their satisfaction and enjoyment of the meal and shared that the “gammon was extremely tender”. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 However, two liquidised meals were seen after they had been prepared for two service users requiring assistance with eating. The meat and vegetables were liquidised together, not allowing any of the individual food to retain its taste, colour, texture or appearance. This is not acceptable preparation of liquidised food for eating; the meat, vegetables and potato must all be liquidised separately and placed separately on the plate. It was also noted that one carer was assisting two service users and one meal was left uncovered and unheated whilst one service user was assisted. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 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 inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18. Arrangements for the protection of service users are not satisfactory placing them at possible risk of harm or abuse. EVIDENCE: The Home’s Complaints Policy is included in the Statement of Purpose, a copy of which is kept in the front hall, ensuring that it is readily available to anyone visiting Bafford House. Two service users confirmed that they are able to tell the staff if they have a problem and that “they sort it out for me.” Several recent incidents indicate that one particular service user is ‘at risk’, as he has wandered out of the home on several occasions, to the main road and to a relatives house 25 minutes walk away. He was found by the relative at her home. Regulation 37 notices had not been completed and sent to the Commission for the incidents. It was reported that staff from both day and night duty have still to watch the training video on Abuse. For some staff, their English is not good enough to understand this form of training. Also due to only two staff per shift, there is not sufficient time for them to watch this during work time. No specific time has been allocated to address this training need. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 9,20,23 & 26 Service users live in a homely environment, which is comfortably decorated. Service users rooms suit their needs and are personalised with their own personal possessions. There are outstanding requirements relating to Health and Safety that must be addressed. The ongoing improvements that have previously been identified have not been completed. EVIDENCE: Most of the Home is clean, reasonably well maintained and decorated in a homely style. However, several maintenance issues were identified: The carpet in Room 9 is very uneven and worn, posing a hazard to anyone walking in the room and floorboards are creaky and loose by the door. Room 5 has a radiator protector but this has come adrift and requires mending. The ground floor bathroom has a toilet that is not working. The static bath hoist covering is cracked on the armrests and this is an infection control hazard. No evidence was available of when it was last serviced. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 The Cleaner has left, so care staff are now cleaning all the communal areas, which is having a negative impact on the time available to spend with service users. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 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 considers Standards 27, 29, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 27,28,29 & 30. Staffing is barely adequate to meet the care needs of the service users living at the Home when the Providers(administrator) and Manager are away from the home. The procedures for the recruitment of staff are still not robust and do not provide the safeguards to offer protection to the service users. Improvements must be made. The training opportunities offered to the staff have been limited to videos and in-house training by Mrs Ramnial EVIDENCE: The Manager has been away eight weeks with no notification to the Commission and Mr Ramnial who provides administration and catering assistance has been away for two and a half weeks. They both are at the home daily. The Deputy Manager reported that she has been working thirteen-hour days and is ‘on call’ when at home. No extra staff have been rostered on whilst they are away this was evidenced by the duty rota. Two staff on each shift to cover care, catering, cleaning and administration tasks is totally inadequate. The commitment of the staff group is exemplary and it is through their efforts that the service users continue to receive a standard of care, the same cannot be said of the providers. Several Polish carers are employed at the home. Two of these staff at least, have limited English and potentially limited understanding, they are registered to learn English here. The induction and training of these staff is questionable. This does question the Providers fitness in leaving the home understaffed and with some staff with limited spoken English and staff not adequately trained. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 Staff have not completed the mandatory training as there is insufficient time for them to watch the videos during shift and the video recorder is located in the residents lounge. A new carer started yesterday with no completed application form or employment history, no references and no CRB or POVA check, in consultation with the Providers over the telephone from Spain. There was also no shadowing or working with another carer as there were insufficient staff to facilitate this. This is totally unacceptable recruitment practice and a regulation notice will be served as recruitment practice at the home has continually been an issue and previous inspections have made requirements relating to recruitment practice. The deputy manager did give her a basic induction but this was not documented. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 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 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 31,36,37 &38. There is good leadership, guidance and direction to staff from the Deputy Manager to ensure that service users receive consistent quality care. However care records have suffered because she is managing the home in the absence of the Registered Manager and the Providers. Their absence with no increase in the staffing establishment has had a negative impact. EVIDENCE: The provision of staffing, food and basic necessities has not been interrupted and evidence displayed confirmed that the Home is fully insured. A full health and safety check was not completed on this occasion but issues recorded elsewhere in this report regarding staffing, health and safety in the home and inappropriate action taken with regard to employment, accidents and incidents in the home all raise concerns about the health, safety and welfare of service users in the home. Bafford House Rest Home D51_D03_S16378_Bafford House_V227235_100505_Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 There were also issues raised concerning the records that should be maintained in the home, for example a visitors book is by the front door but visitors are not encouraged to complete this. Visitors can only access the home by being let in by staff, they must encourage them to sign the book. Photographs of each service user were also not available and neither was there a photo of the service user who kept walking out of the home. Staff do not appear to have contracts or terms and conditions of employment. This is not acceptable employment practice.
