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 the following standard(s): 1,2,3,6. The literature supplied prospective residents contains most of the information required to enable people to make an informed choice as to whether the home will be able to meet their assessed needs. Not all residents have been provided with written contracts/terms and conditions of residence The homes staff ensure that they can meet the assessed needs of prospective residents by obtaining full written assessments prior to their admission to the home. Beauvale Court does not provide intermediate care. “Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. EVIDENCE: The literature supplied to prospective residents has been updated and now contains the majority of required information to enable residents to make an Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 informed choice as to whether the home will meet their assessed needs. This literature still needs to include information on the resident’s views of the home. The senior staff have started to issue Terms and Conditions of Residence documents to all residents, however this information had not been provided for two of the three residents whose records were viewed as part of this visit. All residents must be made aware of the terms and conditions under which they are being admitted to the home and where possible they should sign to confirm that they have read and agree with this information The three residents care plans, which were assessed during this visit each contained pre-admission assessments, which had been completed by a social worker. The manager was advised that the registered person must confirm in writing to the service user, that having regard to the assessment, the care home is suitable for the purpose of meeting their needs, in respect of health and welfare. Beauvale Court does not provide intermediate care. Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 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 the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10. Residents individual care plans contain sufficient information and are updated frequently enough to ensure that staff are always aware of what support and assistance each resident requires. Residents health care needs are generally being met, however all residents must be offered a bath at least once each week. The medication systems are well managed and provide a safe system for the residents. Residents feel they are treated with respect and their rights to privacy is upheld. “Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service.” EVIDENCE: There has been a significant improvement in the quality of the residents individual care plans since the last inspection. The plans now contain sufficient Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 information to ensure that staff are aware of what support and assistance each resident requires. Two of the three care plans viewed during this visit had been reviewed and where necessary updated every month to ensure that the staff always have up-to-date information. It was noted that one resident’s pre admission assessment stated that because he did not have any teeth he sometimes had difficulty eating large pieces of food and may need assistance from staff. This issue had not been dealt with in the care plan. The resident confirmed that although he has no teeth he does not experience any problems eating his food. The residents spoken with during this inspection said that they believe that their health care needs are being appropriately met. The records viewed as part of this visit generally confirm this. However the records of one resident indicated that he had not been offered a bath for 16 days. The senior staff stated that this residents Key worker had been on annual leave and that this may be why he had not been offered a bath. The inspector stated that all residents must be offered a bath at least once each week; if the resident refuses a bath this should be recorded. The homes medication systems were well maintained at the time of this visit. An air-conditioning unit has been provided in the room in which medication is stored to ensure that the temperature does not rise above 25°C. (This is good practice). One resident has chosen to administer his own medication. An appropriate risk assessment has been completed and the resident is ensuring that is medication is stored safely at all times. (This is good practice). All of the residents spoken with during the inspection said that the staff are always friendly and respectful and ensure that their privacy and dignity is maintained at all times. Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 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 the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15. The home is providing a good variety of activities and entertainment. People are encouraged to maintain contact with family and friends. Where possible residents are encouraged to make decisions about their individual lifestyles. Staff need to be aware of the procedures they must follow if a resident, or their representative, asks to view the residents personal records. The residents are satisfied with the food provided by the home, but the home must keep more comprehensive records. “Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service”. EVIDENCE: The home is providing a good variety of activities and entertainment. On the day of this visit a large number of residents were participating in a music and movement session. One resident told the inspector that he had thoroughly enjoyed the singers who had visited the home the previous evening to entertain the residents. Three people said that they were looking forward to the summer fete, which was being organised for the weekend after this visit. All of the residents spoken with said that they are very satisfied with the level of activities and entertainment provided by the home. Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 People are encouraged to maintain contact with family and friends. The residents spoken with said that they can have visitors at any time and that their visitors are always made very welcome. One person believed their visitor could have a meal with them, in the home, as long as they booked it in advance. The visitors spoken with said that he has always found the staff to be friendly and welcoming. All residents have been given information on how to access their personal files and how to contact an advocate, who will be able to provide independent support and advice. One resident had been using the services of an independent advocate at the time of this visit. When one member of care staff and one team leader were asked about the procedures they would need to follow if the resident or their representative asked to see the residents personal records, they were unclear what records could be made immediately available. It is important that staff are aware of the procedures they must follow if a resident or their representatives wish to see the residents confidential records. All of the residents who were asked said that they were satisfied with the way their finances were managed. The meal on the day of this inspection appeared wholesome and nutritious. All of the residents spoken with during this visit said that they were very satisfied with the food provided by the home and confirmed that there is always a choice of food and that alternatives will be provided if they do not want the food suggested on the menu. The home is not keeping a record of the food actually provided for residents and consequently it could be difficult to judge whether the diet is always satisfactory. A number of people who completed satisfaction questionnaires said that they did not like fish fingers and would prefer to have portions of fish. The residents who made these comments were people using the day care facilities, which are not regulated by the Commission for Social Care Inspection. The inspector did however discuss these comments with the manager who agreed to have a meeting with the day centre clients. Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 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 the following standard(s): 16,18. Residents believe that their complaints would be taken seriously and that appropriate action would be taken. The homes complaints records support this view. Informal complaints must be recorded in a central book or file to provide an overview of the nature and frequency of complaints received. The registered person is taking appropriate action to protect residents from abuse. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. EVIDENCE: The homes complaints records show that no complaints have been received since the last inspection. The manager has updated the information on the previous complaints records to show what action has been taken as a result of her investigation. The manager was reminded that the home must keep a record of all complaints, formal and informal, detailing the investigation and where appropriate any action taken. On the service user questionnaires five people said that they were unsure how to make a formal complaint. The inspector recommended that residents are regularly reminded of the procedure they should follow if they wish to make a complaint. Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 The home has a copy of the local Vulnerable Adults Procedure and an appropriate Whistle Blowing Procedure. The staff spoken with were clear about their responsibilities under the Whistle Blowing Procedure. The inspector was informed that there have been no allegations of abuse in the home in the last 12 months.

At the time of inspection the home was clean and there were no offensive odours. The wall in the laundry is damaged and will need to be repaired. “Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgment has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service”. EVIDENCE: A partial tour of the premises was completed as part of this visit. The accommodation is comfortably furnished and reasonably decorated. All of the residents spoken with during this inspection said that they like their bedrooms and confirmed that they could use them at any time. One person said that he chooses to spend most of his time in his bedroom as they require constant oxygen and feel more comfortable in their room. Residents said that Beauvale Court Care Home DS0000058980.V299863.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 they had been encouraged to personalise their rooms with small items of furniture photographs and ornaments. The residents and the visitor confirmed that the home is always kept very clean. The laundry is small but well equipped with washable wall and floor coverings. However it was noted that there is a large hole in the laundry wall and that several tiles are missing. These will need to be repaired/replaced for safety reasons. Appropriate cosh data sheets and the relevant sections of the homes infection control policies were available in the laundry to ensure that staff can have easy access to them.
