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

The home`s environment is good. People have well decorated, furnished rooms that meet their needs. Visitors and professionals are made welcome when they visit the home. People had access to health professionals when needed. Staff interactions with people were good and people were helped to undertake tasks in a kind and friendly way. People in this home have the choice where to receive their care and can spend times in their rooms.The management of peoples money is good and this protects people from abuse. The management of maintenance of gas electrical and fire safety was good and this protects people living in the home.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The amount of information collected about people`s health before or on admission has improved and this helps to ensure that the home can plan appropriate care and lessen risks to people. The care plans have become more person centred and this means peoples individual choice about how they would like their care delivered is recorded. The home has put in to place procedures to record the food people have eaten and have information in the kitchen about special diets that people have. The requirements about shortfalls in medication administration had been met. The kitchen has been refurbished. The home has purchased new hoists and slings and these have information attached about how these are to be used for identified people. The moving and handling of people is much improved with good moves being seen for people being assisted by hoist or by encouragement to move from one place to another. The home has put into place a better system of recording accidents and they can now see if there any themes as to why people are having accidents. A comments book has been placed in the reception area for visitors to comment on the service that is offered. Two people have commented on how welcome they are made to feel and the good care their relative receives. A number of carpets have been replaced.

What the care home could do better:

Managers need to ensure that before people are admitted they are aware what that person`s medication is for. This is so if the person has a specific health conditions such as mental health issues or behaviour due to dementia, the home can decide whether this is the most appropriate placement. They can also be aware of signs that show that the person`s health or behaviour is beginning to or likely to deteriorate. We have been taking enforcement action with this service since the last key inspection because of the management of risks to people such as nutrition,falls and behaviour and in addition inappropriate moving and handling and staffing levels. Whilst for individuals identified at inspection this has now improved the management has not shown that they identify these issues all individuals with similar needs before inspection. This means that some people can experience delays in improvements to the way the personal and health care is delivered to them. Some elements of care that have improved have the potential to deteriorate because procedures are not always adhered to such as photocopying of prescriptions and checking that all medication is received and documenting when food has been offered. Concerns that are raised with the home are not recorded in the complaints record and this means that recurring themes are not sorted out. The manager and area manager working as care staff have improved staffing levels however this has meant the management roles have not been sufficiently covered to make the improvements needed. We have asked the service provider to review the care they provide people and to give us a copy of the documentation of this review with an improvement plan that will ensure sustained improvements.

The home is a large detached property, which offers care to nineteen elderly people. It is well situated and gives easy access to public transport and local amenities including shops, churches and park. Accommodation is offered over two floors with 15 single and 2 double bedrooms. All but one of the bedrooms have en-suite toilet and wash hand basins, two of the bedrooms also have an en-suite shower facility. The home has a shaft lift and a stair lift (although this is rarely used) giving easy access to the first floor for those with mobility difficulties.

Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 1 star. This means the people who use this service experience adequate quality outcomes. We have visited the home on five occasions since the last key inspection in June. The home did not know we would visit on all these occasions. The first two visits were to look at issues raised at the last key inspection. The last three occasions looked at all of the key standards and monitored the homes compliance with outstanding concerns. This formed the key inspection and took place over about 17 hours. Information about all these visits is contained in this report. During the key inspection three people’s admission to the home was looked at and three people’s care was case tracked. This case tracking involved looking at all the records and information about these people, looking at their medication and their rooms and observing their care. This assists us to make a judgement about the care given. There are people accommodated at this home that have communication difficulties and it was not possible to fully ascertain their views of the service they receive. We did however speak to a number of people during our visit and observed them for signs of wellbeing. Other documentation about the running of this home was examined and a tour of parts of the building was undertaken. Medication administration was looked at. What the service does well: The home’s environment is good. People have well decorated, furnished rooms that meet their needs. Visitors and professionals are made welcome when they visit the home. People had access to health professionals when needed. Staff interactions with people were good and people were helped to undertake tasks in a kind and friendly way. People in this home have the choice where to receive their care and can spend times in their rooms.

Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 8 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 Outcomes Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 3,4,5 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Information is collected about people before admission and this assists the home decide the care the person needs. EVIDENCE: We looked at the admission process for three people admitted into the home since the last key inspection. The first persons admission details were looked at during a visit in August and two more during this key inspection. We found over this time there was a substantial improvement in ensuring that good information was collected. The home was improving in ensuring that information was collected before or at the point of admission and this is important as it helps ensure that people get appropriate care. Details were collected about a persons health and care needs, medication, lifestyle and risks to them. This means that the home can plan to meet the persons needs and minimise the risks from when they arrive. We found, for Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 example, a persons allergies to certain medication were recorded on the file, in the medication record and in the residents room. This ensures that the risks of that person are minimised. A number of records showed that people had no mental health or behavioural difficulties, however they were taking medication associated with these conditions. There needs to be some clarification of why these medications are being taken before admission to ensure that the placement is appropriate. Information about peoples lifestyles such as food choices, wanting to remain in their rooms to receive care, and what people could do for themselves were recorded and this helps to maintain peoples independence. Not all people admitted to the home have a preadmission assessment visit; these are recommended as they help to ensure that people make the right decision about being admitted to the home. The home has no male carers and this means that male residents do not have the option of assistance from a person of the same gender. Peoples religious beliefs and practices are recorded on care files and efforts are made to ensure that people can follow their chosen beliefs. The staff group reflects the cultural diversity of the people living in the home. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7,8,9,10 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. There are now systems in place to identify and monitor peoples health and wellbeing however is a lack of management of changes in people’s health and well being so people do not always get the needs met in a timely way. EVIDENCE: Care planning has improved since the last key inspection. Gaps and shortfalls in planning have had to be raised with the providers of this service at visits between these two key inspections. There had been a number of concerns about planning for people at risk of developing pressure areas, who are at nutritional risk or, who need assistance to move from place to place. An urgent requirement letter and a warning letter has been sent about these issues. There were improvements in planning for the people identified at inspections. Care plans were developing well with more information about how the person liked their care delivered and this helps to improve peoples happiness with the service. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 For example although people are now being weighed routinely, what people are eating is now being recorded and information about a persons nutritional needs are being kept in the kitchen; there was no planning for new people who were developing nutritional problems. This means that there could be delays in referrals to GPs, dieticians and so on and this may affect the well-being of these people. Records of food eaten didn’t include breakfasts and this could change a view about whether a person had appropriate levels of food. Instructions about how to manage peoples nutritional needs are not always recorded in a way to ensure that the information can be found easily. The home has set up charts of fluid and food intake of people at risk and this helps to ensure that any difficulties in these areas can be reported quickly to health professionals. We found that the home had set up a short-term care plans for people where needed including one for catheter care. We had been concerned about the moving and handling of people and the equipment used. We gave the home a legal notice to improve. As a result two new hoists and slings have been purchased and staff have been trained in their use. Information about who is to use a particular hoists and slings is attached to the hoists. We have since seen some very good interactions between staff and people being moved. A concern was raised with us about a person not being moved regularly who was at risk of pressure sores. However we found that the home had improved in this area and were assisting people to move to prevent pressure areas developing. In previous months we were concerned about the management of identified risks to people. However we saw an improvement in the management of this over the visits since the last key inspection. For example we had found a poor risk assessment for the use of bedrails and badly fitting of bedrails, which put a person at risk. This has now been rectified. Records of district nurses did not indicate that they had any concerns. People do have access to health professionals when changes in health care are identified. There are records of people having contact with chiropodists; district nurses GPs and other health professionals. We noted in one record that staff had been shown how to check a piece of equipment every three days however this requirement was not recorded in the care plan. This means that this check may be missed and could affect the care of the person. The recording of accidents had improved; this should ensure that any specific risks to people can be acted upon. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 We looked at the medication administration on a number of visits and this showed the medication was administered as prescribed with few discrepancies. All previous requirements had been met at the key inspection. However on the last visit, the home had received a monthly supply of medication and copies of the repeat prescriptions were not available. One person’s Medication Administration Record (MAR) did not contain a prescribed food supplement, which the daily records indicated was being given, and had been prescribed the previous month. A medication that was to be administered once a month did not have indicated on the MAR the day it should be administered. A medication had been prescribed on a short term basis but information from the daily records and the MAR did not match. These shortfalls could mean that people do not get the medication prescribed, or are given medication wrongly. Medication administered by the district nurses were not shown on the medication administration record. The management of the administration of medication needs to follow the home’s procedure. We observed good interactions between people living in the home and staff. People were assisted to maintain a good presentation by staff helping them to change clothing if anything got spilled and this helps them to keep a good view of themselves. A person said “its ok here, I’m 85 got my own room, go out a lot by myself, foods ok, everybody different, sometimes its not what I like but can ask for something different”. We noted at one of our visits that a person was being disturbed by the positions of the photocopier and the hoist and as a result arrangements were made to move the lounge furniture around to make this disturbance less likely. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12,13,14,15 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People in this home are able to make choices about their care, activities and meals and this improves their life. A wider range of activities including some that are accessible to people with dementia would enhance their lives further. EVIDENCE: People have choices about how and where their care is given. A number of people choose to stay in their rooms watching their TVs and so on. Those people who can self-motivate activities are encouraged to do so. Whilst visiting it was noted that people spend their time listening to appropriate music and playing bingo. Some people went out with families. People with dementia need further efforts to engage them in more person centred activities. The availability of carers and the care needs of some of the people in the home have impacted on the amount of activities that are available. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 There are no restrictions on visiting times. Visitors to the home have been made welcome. Theres been an improvement in the kitchen facilities in the home, which enables food to be stored more appropriately. There was a good amount of food stored and available. People were offered a choice of food at the main meals. Some people had to go a long time between the last meal of the day and breakfast and this was discussed with the management, especially for people who are of low weight. As reported in health and personal care section this has improved for people at risk but needs to be considered for all people living in the home. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 16, 18 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Although the home has taken steps to improve the information it gathers about dissatisfactions these are not in place enough to improve the service for people. Although there processes in place to ensure that people are not put at risk by intentional harm there needs to more management of care practices to ensure that people remain well. EVIDENCE: A complaint record is held in the home. Despite being aware of concerns and issues that have been raised these were not recorded in the complaints log. People are encouraged to fill in surveys with their key workers however the format of these is not suitable for all people to complete and do not empower people to affect the way the home is run. This means there isnt management oversight of concerns in a way that assists them to make improvements. The home has recently made available the comments book in the reception area of the home. There are two good comments about the care people are receiving in the home. We had concerns about staffs understanding of how they safeguard people from abuse. Training has now been given and copies of appropriate policies and procedures are in place. Concerns were raised with us about the homes Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 practice about nutrition and assistance to prevent pressure areas and these have been raised with the social services department. These concerns are listed in the health and personal care and management and administration sections. The staff have the appropriate safeguarding checks before working in the home. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19, 26 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The environment of the home provides a safe and comfortable place for people to live. EVIDENCE: We looked around the communal areas, bathrooms and sampled a number of bedrooms in the home in August and found the following. The home was generally well maintained clean, fresh and tidy. People have two lounges, which they can use during the day if they wish and there is a large dining area. There is a passenger lift available from the ground to the first floor. The layout of the building generally meets the needs of the people living there. This was also found when we visited the home subsequently. A number of peoples rooms had new carpets. On the last day of the key inspection we found that the home was suitably decorated for Christmas. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The home has now had its kitchen refurbished and this helps food to be stored appropriately. We advised that the home obtain a copy of the Department of Health’s guidance ‘Infection Control guidelines for Care Homes’ as this gives instructions to promote good infection control. This has now been done. The staff talked to found that the increase in staffing in the morning had improved their ability to ensure people received care in a timely way and allowed some time for the routine cleaning of the home. The home has a cleaner but they have not been at work for some time. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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 consider all the above are key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27,28,29 &30 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The staffing levels are not always enough to meet the needs of people in the way that people would wish. The recruitment of staff could be improved to ensure that people can be assured that thorough checks are being done. Staff receive awareness training in most of the areas needed however there is need to ensure some in depth training about conditions that people have. EVIDENCE: We found that the home did not have enough staff to ensure that the needs of people were met at all times during the day and an urgent requirement was made. The numbers of staff on duty was increased to ensure that people could be assisted to get up in the morning and have their breakfast at a reasonable time. However the numbers of staff assisting people was only increased by the managers working as care staff. This has had an effect on the management of quality within the home. (See Management and Administration section). The home has two thirds of staff that have completed an NVQ2 in care and this means that staff are aware of the care needs of older people. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 We had concerns about whether or not the recruitment of staff was a robust enough to ensure the safety of people living in the home. We look at the records of the newest member of staff and found that checks had been made with the criminal records bureau and the protection of vulnerable adults (PoVA) list. Staff employed with only a PoVA check must work under supervision and have a risk assessment and records about interview questions would make the process more robust. . Training was available to staff; we found that some training had been undertaken and some was planned. Recent training had been given in fire safety, food hygiene, moving and handling, infection control, health and safety and safeguarding. Dementia care awareness training was planned and first aid training was still required. Whilst the mandatory training was almost complete the management will need to consider the number of first aiders available to meet their legal obligations and more in-depth dementia training. There was no record of how the trainers were appropriately qualified to train staff in mandatory training. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 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 31, 33, 35 and 38 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35,28 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. People living in this home do not have a service that can respond to the changes in their care needs quickly or manages their concerns in a way that helps them have a voice in how the home is run. The environment and peoples money is managed well and this gives people security. EVIDENCE: The manager of this home has yet to complete a registered managers award (RMA) and we have advised they look to complete the new qualification in leadership and management of care services. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V373061.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 We have found a lack of identification of risks to people living in the home, shortfalls in service and a lack of planning for future improvement. Inspection is relied upon to identify shortfalls. Actions to rectify the shortfalls identified sometimes take too long. While some attempts are being made to gain peoples views of the service this is not done in an enabling way. It is also hard to determine where people’s views have resulted in improvements. The management do not record dissatisfactions in a way that would be useful to them, and have not looked at issues raised such as nutrition and skincare for all people when issues of risk for a particular people have been raised. There have been sustained improvements in the recording and management of residents’ money. We found appropriate systems of detailed records and receipts and this ensures the residents’ money is safe. We found that the home had appropriate certificates in place to confirm that fire, gas and electrical safety inspections and maintenance had been undertaken.
