Conditions of registration: 8 DE(E) - 1 of whom may be 60 on admission Date of last inspection 24/02/05 Brief Description of the Service: Beech Dene is a large, detached property set in mature gardens, in close proximity to the market town of Leek. The extended part of the home is two storey but the original building has three floors and a large basement, which is used as the laundry room. Currently, there are plans to utilise what was formerly the manager’s flat to create an extra six single en-suite bedrooms, subject to CSCI approval. The home is registered for 31 but in an effort to remove shared bedrooms, the home provides for a maximum of 29. Care needs vary, ranging from dementia care to residents who experience physical incapacities including, visual and hearing impairment. There are currently 19 single bedrooms, 10 with en-suite. The home has four bathrooms, one of which is equipped with a Parker bath. The home has a spacious, well equipped dining room and three main lounges/ conservatories. In addition, there is also a designated smoking room. There are a further two quieter lounges which provide an opportunity for complete privacy when receiving visitors or visiting professionals. There is a large, well-kept garden to the rear of the property that can be safely accessed and has adequate seating. In fine weather many residents prefer sitting at the front of Beech Dene as they can observe passersby and this involves them in the daily activities of the local community. The front of the property is safe and secure, provides adequate parking space, and is monitored with CCTV cameras.

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. On the day of the inspection, there were 27 residents. The registered manager, Joanne Boyle, and the home co-ordinator, Kathleen Plant, were on duty all day with four care assistants until 2.00 pm, three care workers from 2.00 pm to 8.00 pm and three care workers on waking night duty. Other ancillary staff on duty that day included: a cook, a kitchen assistant, a domestic and a laundry assistant. The home also employed another cook, a domestic and a handyman/gardener. These staffing levels were deemed satisfactory to meet the needs of the residents living in the home at that time. The inspection included a tour of the home, inspection of records, observation and discussions with residents, relatives and staff. Since the last inspection on 24th February 2005, no formal complaints or any incidents or reports of abuse of any kind had been received by the Commission for Social Care Inspection or the home, and no requirements or recommendations, against the regulations or the minimum standards, were outstanding from the last inspection report. The pre-admission assessments were carried out by the registered care manager or the home co-ordinator and residents and their families were involved in the whole process of deciding if the home was right for them, being sure that it could meet their needs and once in the home, having those needs met very well. All aspects of health, personal and social care needs were addressed to a very good standard and recorded accordingly. Residents spoke highly of the quality of care provided by the staff within the home and confirmed that they were treated with dignity and respect. Both externally and internally, the home was well maintained and fit for purpose. It was a safe and homely environment for the residents and was very clean, warm and tidy. The fixtures and fittings were of a high standard and the decorating within the home was tasteful and carried out professionally. The bedrooms contained a variety of resident’s personal possessions and were homely and bright. The lounges, conservatories and dining room had also been re-decorated to a very high standard and provided a comfortable and pleasant environment for the benefit of the residents. The home was well managed and organised, and the residents were supported to have their say and to make decisions about the day-to-day activities within the home. Good robust systems were in place for the protection of residents and all staff had received training in the protection of vulnerable adults.

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.

Trial visits were offered to enable residents and relatives to make an informed choice about the home. EVIDENCE: The registered care manager or the home co-ordinator carried out preadmission assessments for all potential residents. Inspection of records evidenced a thorough, detailed assessment of needs including personal care, social history etc. Documentation and discussion with the care manager confirmed that prospective residents were able to visit the home for a meal, or to stay for an afternoon before moving in and trial periods were offered for the first two weeks. Beech Dene Residential Care Home E51-E09 S59648 Beechdene V240845 280705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 9 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 and 10. The care planning processes were clear and detailed to enable staff to have a full understanding of resident’s needs. All health care needs were met and residents had access to a range of health professionals. Medication policies and procedures were satisfactory but stringent recording must take place at all times for the protection of the residents. Residents were treated with dignity and respect. EVIDENCE: Individual care plans were examined and seen to include all aspects of health, personal and social care. They were detailed and informative enabling staff to have a clear understanding of resident’s needs and how those needs should be met. Each care plan contained a photograph of the resident, and were set out to include all aspects of daily living including social, spiritual and cultural needs. Also included were nutritional risk assessments, continence assessments etc. All care plans were reviewed monthly. Risk assessments were completed but it is a recommendation of this report that these are reviewed each month.
Beech Dene Residential Care Home E51-E09 S59648 Beechdene V240845 280705 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 10 Records showed that the health care needs of residents were met very well and residents had access to a range of health care specialists including the GP, dentist, chiropodist etc, whose visits were recorded accordingly. On inspection, there was, overall, a safe and well-organised system for the receipt, storage, administration and disposal of medicines. All documentation was checked and each medication administration record (MAR) sheet included a photograph of the resident. Unusually, in terms of past history, a few gaps were identified on the medication administration records in regard to the recording of administered medicines. Discussions with the home co-ordinator took place for the need to reiterate to staff the importance for stringent recording and it is a requirement of this report that all administered and nonadministered medicines are recorded at all times on the MAR sheets. The Controlled Drugs Register was examined and no controlled drugs had been prescribed at that time. Medicines were stored securely and the NOMAD system was managed by a local pharmacy. Staff were observed knocking on bedroom and bathroom doors before entering and residents confirmed that they were treated politely and respectfully, and their privacy was upheld. The inspector was impressed to read in one care plan, under ‘Factors to maximise contentment’, the following statement: ‘To give help without making an issue about it, make it feel like it’s routine for all residents’ which was a good example of staff efforts to maintain dignity and respect whilst maintaining the safety of the resident.

Dietary needs of the residents were well catered for and menus were varied and nutritious. EVIDENCE: A wide selection of recreational activities was available for the residents, both in the home and in the local community. These included: bingo, cards, dominoes, music, chair aerobics, games, a fashion show, coffee and cake afternoons, quizzes, crosswords, newspapers, hairdressing, visits by various entertainers, walking, visits to Bank House Day Centre to maintain friendships, trips to town, pantomime put on in the home at Christmas time, celebration of key events such as Bonfire night, etc. In addition to these, local school children visited the home at Harvest Festival time and sang at other times for the pleasure of the residents.

On the day of the inspection, some of the residents were playing musical instruments; singing and dancing with staff and one resident told the inspector how much she enjoyed it and asked her to join in! Religious needs were also catered for and visits to the home by the local clergy took place regularly and a Holy Communion service was held regularly. The care manager and residents confirmed that there was an open visiting policy at the home for relatives and friends and residents told the inspector that they were able to see them in their own rooms if they so wished. The Commission received a number of completed questionnaires from relatives prior to the inspection and one commented ‘The staff are warm and friendly, not only to my mother (and my father who passed away last year), but to the relatives and friends that come to see her at Beech Dene’. Residents confirmed that they were able to get up and retire to bed at times to suit them and were observed making their own choices throughout the inspection. During the inspection, a number of residents told the inspector how much they liked the food with comments ‘the food is so tasty – especially the puddings’ and ‘we have so much to eat, the food is really good’. The kitchen was in the process of being refurbished, however, inspection of the kitchen evidenced a very clean and tidy environment with fridge, freezer and food temperatures correct and recorded accordingly. The cleaning schedule was checked and up to date and foodstuffs stored appropriately. Four weekly menus were in place and seen to provide a varied and nutritious selection. The home employs two cooks and the cook on duty on the day of the inspection was very knowledgeable about the needs of the residents and confirmed that fresh food was used daily and home made cakes and puddings were also made each day. A list of resident’s likes and dislikes was located on the wall of the kitchen and the cook confirmed that ‘we aim to please all of the residents’. The dining room with a conservatory was laid for lunch during the inspection and each table had flowers at its centre. The dining room was beautifully decorated and overlooked the garden which provided a most pleasant place for residents to enjoy their meals.

There were plans in progress to extend the home using what was formerly the manager’s flat to create six additional single en-suite bedrooms, subject to CSCI approval. The grounds were very well maintained, tidy and safe and accessible to the residents. Although there was adequate seating at the rear of the home, the care manager informed the inspector that most residents liked to sit at the front of the home to ‘watch the world go by’. The front of the property provided car-parking facilities and was safe and secure. The home was very well maintained both externally and internally.
