This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was the first site visit of a key inspection and was unannounced. It commenced at 08.45, and ended at 14.45. Discussions were had with the residents, staff and a visitor to the home. Documents sampled, included service users files, care plans, staff records, policies, procedures and the preinspection questionnaire. Two comment cards were received at the CSCI office from relatives and are included in this report. A full tour of the home and garden took place. Verbal feedback from the resident’s at home on the day was limited, in view of the their communication difficulties. However observations of body language, facial expressions and sounds, evidenced a state of wellbeing. CSCI would like to thank the residents, manager and staff for their hospitality and co-operation during the inspection. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
All of the requirements and the recommendations made at the previous inspection have been met. The quiet/sensory room has been redecorated providing a more pleasant environment for residents to spend time. The homes office has also been redecorated and refurbished with new shelving. Plans are being drawn up in respect of an extension to the home, in order to provide better facilities for those residents with mobility problems. Beaufort House DS0000013563.V309776.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 What they could do better:
The majority of the staff have undertaken training in safeguarding adults, however one member of staff who has been employed for some considerable time has yet to undertake this training, indicating that this staff member would not be aware of the policies and procedures in this respect. A requirement has been made that the staff member complete safeguarding adults training in order to protect the safety and welfare of residents. Beaufort House is an older property and therefore presents challenges for the providers in respect of the ongoing need for updating and refurbishment. The fabric and furnishings of the building were satisfactory, although it was noted that some of the carpets were soiled, particularly around the entrance hall, kitchen and dining room areas, which did not enhance the resident’s environment. The decoration in the communal areas will require updating in the near future, as the paintwork was chipped in several areas. Records indicated that the water temperatures in the kitchen and laundry rooms exceeded safe levels. Whilst it is noted that resident’s would not be left unsupervised in the kitchen, there is the potential risk of scalding. Other water temperatures were recorded as being low. Attention must be paid to all of the homes water taps to ensure that residents and staff are safe. Following the previous inspection the home was required to carry out risk assessments on all liquid soaps, which are regarded as potentiality hazardous to vulnerable residents. This requirement had been met. The risk assessments indicated that all of these liquid soaps presented a hazard to the residents, and should not be accessible to them. On the day of the site visit liquid soaps were found to be in some of the communal bathrooms and toilets. The laundry room door was not locked, a large box of washing powder was found to be stored next to the washing machine posing a hazard the residents as they have access to this room. The storage cupboard for hazardous substances was unlocked and also had the potential to pose a hazard to the residents. One of the garden paths was overgrown with ivy, causing a potential trip hazard to both residents and staff. Requirements have been made in respect of these areas. Please refer to page 24 of this report. Beaufort House DS0000013563.V309776.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

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. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 24,25,26,30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The standard of the environment within this home is satisfactory and meets the needs of the service users. Improvements are required in the maintenance and cleaning, and attention must be paid to the decoration to ensure the service users benefit from a more pleasant environment. EVIDENCE: Beaufort House is an older property and therefore presents challenges for the providers in respect of the ongoing need for updating and refurbishment. The fabric of the building was satisfactory, although it was noted that some of the carpets were soiled, particularly around the entrance hall, kitchen and dining room areas, which did nothing to enhance the service users environment. The decoration in the communal areas will require updating in the near future, as the paintwork was chipped in several areas. The manager stated that attention would be paid to these areas whilst the service users were on their holiday in October. Beaufort House DS0000013563.V309776.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The service users bedrooms were clean bright and tidy and there was evidence of many personal items. Rooms contained many sensory pieces of equipment for example, lava lamps, mirror balls, water features which were good for those service users with communication difficulties. One bedroom had a sensory projector, however at the time of the visit it was out of order. The beds and mattresses were checked and found to be in satisfactory condition. The carpet in one of the bedrooms requires cleaning. The bathrooms although well adapted for service users needs were domestic in design and quite pleasant. It was noted that that the parker bath requires a new sealant. The manager evidenced that a work sheet had been submitted in this respect. A requirement was made at the previous inspection for all liquid soaps to be risk assessed. This requirement has been met, and the risk assessments identified that the service users should not have access to these. It was a concern therefore to note that these items remained in the communal areas. It should be noted that the manager removed these at the time of the visit when the inspector alerted her to this. The laundry room was unlocked and an open box of washing powder was accessible by anyone in the room. Discussions were had with the care staff in this respect in order to ascertain if the service users could get access to the room, they commented that the service users would normally bring their own laundry down, and they could not be confident that a service user would be supervised whilst in the room. This presents a potential safety hazard and did not promote the health and safety of the service users. It should also be noted that the box of washing powder was removed at the time and stored appropriately. The garden will also require attention in the near future. Some of the foliage around the perimeter is overgrown. The pathway from the building at the back of the house was overgrown with ivy, and presented a trip hazard. It should be noted, that the manager started to clear the pathway on the day. Requirements have been made in respect of these areas. Please refer to pages 26 and 27 of this report.

The home employs an efficient, trained and well-supervised staff team in sufficient numbers, who provide a good quality of care to the service users. EVIDENCE: The home employs a diverse staff group. There were 4 care staff, and the manager on duty on the morning shift. The dependency levels of the residents on the day indicated that the present staffing ratio was adequate. One relative commented, “the staff to resident ratio enables staff to spend quality time with the residents”. The manager stated that recruitment was ongoing and whilst the home has to use agency staff, continuity is maintained by using the same staff, who, are familiar with the service users. Staff talked about their job roles, there was clarity and awareness of the different roles and responsibilities within the home. Staff were observed going about their work in a confident and professional manner. One new member of staff has been employed at the home since the last inspection, and at the time of the site visit plans were in place for induction. This member of staffs recruitment file was sampled and evidenced good recruitment practice, with all of the appropriate documentation in place and checks carried out. Beaufort House DS0000013563.V309776.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 Training in the home is given a high priority, care staff stated that they are offered many opportunities to attend statutory training and other training in line with current good practice, one was keen to discuss the equality and diversity training undertaken, however this could not be evidenced in the training records. Six members of the staff team have an NVQ (National Vocation Qualification) and a further three are undertaking one. Eleven of the staff team hold a First Aid certificate. A visitor to the home commented that the staff, were well trained, and that they were knowledgeable in respect of the service users needs.

The staff expressed confidence that they could take any issue to the manager and it would be dealt with in a timely manner. Observations evidenced competent and confident staff who appeared relaxed in her presence. Beaufort House DS0000013563.V309776.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Staff discussed the meetings held at the home where service users are supported and encouraged to air their views.
