This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The announced inspection was conducted with the care manager and senior nursing staff. The last inspection report was discussed, and it was noted that recommendations made all had been attended to. The tour of the home was carried out in a relaxed, courteous and professional manner; everyone concerned expressed confidence in the atmosphere. All the service users approached were highly complimentary of the care, service and attention they received from a willing, attentive care team. There were 15 residents on the day of inspection, 3 categorised with high dependency needs. Three service users were case tracked, confirming the establishment of a well run home, very comfortable and ‘homely’. Everyone appeared comfortable and at ease with their surroundings A sample review of the administration confirmed solid practice and effective management. A feedback session was offered at the end of the inspection with open discussion involving the care manager. What the service does well:
The Home is well organised, with a committed care management team. Emphasis goes into involving the residents and their families in the process of care, ensuring a highly personal approach to meeting individual needs. Nursing care is of a high standard with named nurses and key workers actively deployed. The emphasis is on the team spirit and family feel to create an environment conducive to good nursing care practice. Assessment procedures and care planning is of an excellent standard, offering detailed information on each resident’s progress in the meeting of objectives. The housekeeping and support services all contribute to the team approach, and are recognised by the management for their efforts. Maintenance of satisfactory staffing levels, staff training and supervision are well established in safeguarding the interests of residents. Overall the attitude in meeting clinical and organisational demands is highly commendable, with forward thinking, planning and application contributing to an excellent service.

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 Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 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) 1,2,3,4 and 5 It is recognised that the Statement of Purpose represents the foundation on which the home operates upon, offering service users and their relatives the opportunity to make an informed choice about where to live. Following an assessment the senior nurse assessor determines the suitability of the application in view of the facilities available, and at the capacity of the home, to manage the individual and any special needs. The Home has demonstrated their commitment to promote a partnership of care, to meet the objectives of providing a home to meet individual needs. EVIDENCE: The recently reviewed Statement of Purpose presents an excellent explanation in to the aims and objectives, management and staffing, facilities and services that Barton House can offer. This gives residents and their relatives the opportunity to make an informed choice about where to live. Service users are admitted to Barton House following a comprehensive preadmission needs assessment, carried out by the provider and/or care manager. This assessment initiates the process of care, each individual having
Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 a plan of care. Case tracking showed a detailed care assessment, offering substantial information to prospective service users on the services and facilities that Barton House can provide to meet their individual and special needs. This was confirmed by speaking to staff and residents. The management style is highly personable and inclusive, generating a warmth and comfortable environment. Relatives are welcome to view the facilities and participate in the planning and assessment of care. Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 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) 7,8,9,10 and 11 The service users’ assessment provides the base from which care planning is formulated. It is recognised that this reflects an individual profile of needs, discussed fully with family. The home has a GP that visits the home frequently and the majority of service users are registered with him. The Statement of Purpose, admission assessment and care plans are geared to engender a sense of individuality and privacy. The inspector observed the free, courteous interaction between service users and staff based on a level of confidence of mutual trust and respect. EVIDENCE: Three case records were examined and found to offer a clear, well balanced, up to date and accurate appraisal of requirements. Reviews were done on a minimum of once a month, usually more often, as needs dictate. Case tracking of those three residents confirmed the depth of care planning supported by a solid foundation of organisation and quality services. Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 The home has good links with specialist services – continence advisor and tissue viability. A profile of the service user’s social, physical and psychological status offered an individual plan of care, based upon a Roper model of care, to be implemented and frequently reviewed. Each service user’s health, personal and social care needs were seen to be assessed in an individual plan of care that is reviewed monthly, including service users and relatives views, to reflect their changing needs. That review is more frequent, dependant upon the individual’s needs and clinical condition. A tour of the premises evidenced that there was a range of pressure relieving equipment. Examination of service user plans found that all are assessed in relation to pressure sore risk, falls risk and nutritional risk. The administration of medicines adheres to procedures to maximise protection to service users. The storage was secure with satisfactory added security for controlled drugs. A controlled drug register was examined and found to be in order. Family and friends have relative freedom of visiting, those spoken to remarking on the importance of maintaining social contact. The Statement of Purpose clearly and openly states that the wishes concerning arrangements after death would be discussed and respectfully carried out. It was advised that arrangements should be ascertained as soon as possible after admission. The spiritual needs of service users were recorded and observed by the staff with due respect. Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 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) 12,13,14 and 15 At pre-admission the service user’s personal interests and customs are determined, and where possible accommodated within the routine of the Home. That routine is seen as flexible; to acknowledge individuality, yet maintain a focal point for service users to latch on to without dictating events. Service users were able to see their relatives and friends in private and decide whom they see and do not see. Service users were offered a varied and nutritious choice of meals from a 4week rotating menu. EVIDENCE: The daily routine was seen to be flexible and non-institutionalised, offering choice for meal times, personal and social activities. Discussions with service users and staff clearly identified a relaxed and informal atmosphere in which the service user’s needs were paramount. A recent summer break for four residents with the care manager (and husband) and a carer was a great success, signifying the Home’s policy of staff engaging in socialisation and organising activities. The policy on visiting was seen, and staff confirmed that relatives and friends were able to visit at any time, as evidenced throughout the extent of the
Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 inspection. Those service users’ rooms inspected showed a strong influence of personalisation in the inclusion of belongings, some furniture and general décor. Families generally took responsibility for the handling of service users pocket monies and valuables. Lunch was served during the inspection and found to be a very attractive and well-presented meal, enjoyed by service users and a relative. Special diets were accommodated with the cook making every effort to engage with service users to discuss personal preferences. Staff were seen to offer discreet assistance to those who required it. The choice of dining room, lounge or bedroom was at the discretion of service users. The kitchen was inspected with the cook and found to present a well equipped and organised area. It was advised that access to the kitchen area be controlled to authorised staff. All fridges and freezers were seen to be used in the appropriate manner, well maintained, and checked daily by the kitchen staff. A cleaning schedule was in place and found to be accurate, up to date and comprehensive. COSHH signs and notices were in evidence with cleaning chemicals secure, appropriate and under control. Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 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) 16,17 and 18 The home had a meaningful complaints policy, clearly identifying the CSCI as a resource to approach with a complaint or grievance. On discussions it was evident that any small matters were handled immediately, discretely and to the satisfaction of all concerned. Service users’ legal rights are protected by the systems in place in the home to safeguard them, including their contract, the continual assessment of care planning and policies in place. EVIDENCE: The complaints policy was seen and records examined. There were few complaints, none recent, to assess. All service users had received information on the procedure to complain, including reference to the CSCI. On discussions it was evident that any small matters were handled immediately, discretely and to the satisfaction of all concerned. Case tracking confirmed the effectiveness of a care manager and staff sensitive to service users needs and readiness to test the robustness of their information and report structures. As part of the process of encouraging self-determination a policy exists to be able to offer advocacy services should they be required. Family involvement has been the usual means of representation in the past. Service users’ legal rights are protected by the systems in place in the home to safeguard them, including their contract, the continual assessment of care planning and policies in place i.e. the complaints procedure. This process was evidenced on examination, and case tracking as previously reported upon.
Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 The care manager showed satisfactory evidence of a protocol and response to anyone reporting any form of abuse, to ensure effective handling of such an incident. Staff induction and in-house training programmes clarified the responsibilities of all staff in their daily contact with service users, especially their privileged position in protecting service users from abuse, of all natures.

The inspector was impressed by the openness and confidence in the observed interactions of staff, relatives and service users. The relationships were seen to be of mutual trust and respect. Evidence was secured to confirm a quality monitoring system has been introduced, based upon audit of standards, care plans and feed back from service users and relatives. The administration and management of the home is efficient, uncomplicated and sensitive to the needs of service users. Barton House E51 E09 S22311 Barton House V232731 090705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 22 EVIDENCE: It was pleasing to see this standard well met. The care manager has developed a formal approach to monitoring quality across a wide range of activities. This includes a Quality Audit Schedule, care plan review process that is recorded at least once a month, a staff training programme and a risk assessment prevention programme. This includes the setting of objectives, effective budgeting of plans and target dates to aim for. Mrs Kelly has been able to grasp the management of forward planning in setting objectives on short-term and long-term planning Evidence was secured to acknowledge achievements, ongoing and planned objectives. Involved within this process are the views of service users and relatives, confirmed at case tracking and informal discussion. Social Workers’ review meetings are often a vehicle for assessing quality. Staff meetings are held monthly. Each service users has a personal file containing contractual, financial and personal information. Several files inspected evidenced a satisfactory standard of maintenance and security. Care plans were drawn up, implemented and reviewed with service users and relatives whenever possible. Case tracking and informal discussion provided evidence that participation is encouraged by the service user themselves, or by their relatives. A sample of administrative, maintenance and care records were examined and found to offer an accurate reflection of a service committed to providing a safe and comfortable environment for elderly service users. These included procedures on abuse, complaints and visiting. Service records for water supplies, PAT testing, hoist maintenance and fire equipment were examined. Planned maintenance and risk assessment ensures that essential services linked to utilities and safety, are monitored and serviced on a regular basis. Fire safety remains high priority for all staff evidenced in routine maintenance checks, regular fire drills and frequent staff training sessions organised by a member of staff recognised as a fire safety officer. Accidents were seen to be addressed, risk assessed, actioned and recorded in an effective way, with access to Riddor if needed. No serious accidents have been reported. The Regulations, Standards and Schedules as provided in the Care Standards Act 2000 are recognised and implemented. Records were seen to be generally well maintained, accurate and up to date in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998.
