The recording of activities residents have enjoyed has improved. The home has purchased some new chairs for the lounge areas. The level of staff supervision had improved since the last inspection. The manager of the home has become registered with the Commission and is now a Registered Manager.

What the care home could do better:

The home needs to ensure that complete a number areas of risk assessment better especially about nutrition and smoking as these inform the staff how to make residents safe. A number of needs did not have adequate care plans when the needs were raised. For example there was a resident that had a history of not eating well and was of low weight but there was no nutritional plan. A number of care plans did not have the level of detail required such as size of slings to be used with the hoist and this could put residents at risk. The home needed to not only monitor residents` weights but also have a system to ensure that action could be taken were needed. This includes more detailed recording of what residents eat. Residents that have difficulty managing feeding themselves should be offered adapted equipment such as plate guards large handled cutlery and so on. The home also could consider residents serving themselves vegetables from tureens. Care plans needed to be updated and reviewed in a number of cases.A number of improvements was needed in medication administration to ensure that all staff were carrying out this task appropriately. Whilst activities were available and the home needs to ensure that residents that are not able to join group activities have an individual plan about they have one to one time with staff. Whilst the areas within the home that the residents have access to were homely areas such as the kitchens, the garden, storage areas for staff belongings resident records and for equipment needed improvement.

Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. An unannounced visit to Bournbrook Manor took place in June over nine and a half hours. During this visit the inspector looked at care records of 3 residents in detail and 3 staff records. Medication Administration Records were looked at against the medication held in the home. Accident and complaint records were seen and a number of maintenance and inspection records of the building and services such as services and so on. During the inspection 8 residents were spoken with as well as one member of staff other than manager and owner. A tour of the building was undertaken. At the time of the inspection all of the residents were from a white UK ethnic background and spoke English as their first language. What the service does well: Residents were happy with the service the home provided and said that the staff were ‘obliging.’ One resident said that she spends time in her room but staff always come and check on her. Another resident said it was ‘a good decision to come here.’ Residents appeared well cared for and had attention to their personal hygiene needs.

The home responded well to any residents that said they had pain and showed an appropriate understanding of the urgency of this. The arrangements for visitors and choice were good residents said they were able to get up when they wanted and go to bed when they wanted. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 The homes environment was homely and welcoming for example the dining room tables were set with tablecloths, condiments, and flowers, and the bedrooms were well decorated and reflected the individual resident’s taste.

Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.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.V301120.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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,3,4 & 5 Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The homes arrangements for giving and collecting information were adequate improvements were needed to ensure that residents are accurately informed and risks to residents are minimised. EVIDENCE: The home supplied the Commission with updated versions of their Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide before the report was undertaken. The home has ensured that details of the manager have been updated. The staffing information could be clearer about training numbers and experience of staff for relatives and residents to know what they can expect in terms of staffing levels. The Service User guide needs to be consistent in the information that it provides about the Commission. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Residents in the home have a contract these need to be reviewed to ensure that fee levels are accurate and information given as to when fee levels are reviewed. The home collects useful information about residents before they are admitted into the home. In addition to collecting information on medical conditions and personal care needs such as ‘allergic to penicillin’ and ‘needs encouragement to dress,’ the home also collects information about how residents like their care to be given for example likes a night time drink before bed at 10.30 pm. There was evidence the home were asking social workers for copies of their assessment where these had been done so that they were able to meet residents’ needs more appropriately. A number of risk assessments were not adequate including one for a resident that smokes; more detail was needed of the amount of restriction the home were placing on smoking and safeguards that were in place. Assessments of risks and nutrition were absent or in a number of cases poorly completed. The home at the time of the inspection had residents only from white UK background that were either practising or non- practising Christians. Church services are held at the home. During the inspection one resident had parts of the bible read out to her by a member of care staff as this was something she liked. The home assesses residents’ communication needs and it was clear they understood the need for structured communication for people with dementia. It was clear that the home does undertake pre admission assessments. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.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 Quality in this outcome area was adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Although the care provided was good, care plans and medication administration were variable and this could lead to inconsistencies and put residents at risk. EVIDENCE: Care plans were not in place for some of the needs identified in residents’ assessments. For a resident that needed to be checked three hourly on a night by their assessment did not have this shown on their care plan. Residents that were said to be poor at eating did not have a nutritional plan. Care plans did not have enough detail on how their needs were to be met for example how aggression was to be managed, type of slings used when hoisting an individual resident and personal care. Care plans were reviewed monthly but there was not enough space to record whether any changes to the plan were needed. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 The home were considering changing the care plans but they must ensure that any replacement allows care staff to get key information quickly and is able to be used as a working tool in giving care to residents. Residents’ weights were taken but it was not clear at what point any weight loss or gain would be referred to the manager and whether this would result in a change in the plan. Records showed residents weights as ‘normal’ without a clear chart showing that a residents weight was within recommended guidelines. Records of food eaten were not in enough detail to ensure that on inspection they showed that the resident was having enough nutrition in amount and type of food taken. Although it showed clearly what choices residents had made. The home’s records of accidents showed that residents were not falling excessively and fall risk assessments were completed. Residents personal hygiene needs were attended to, residents appeared well care for. A medication audit was completed and found that the management of medicinal creams was poor with many creams being open for a long time and potential to cause micro-bacterial infection one being prescribed in 2005. One resident with dementia was prescribed a medication that was not recommended with one of the resident’s conditions and this must be checked with the prescribing GP. Medications not in the monitored dosage system that were checked was found to have been signed as administered but had not always been given. The manager of the home was undertaking audits of amounts of medication but needed to under take audits of staff competency. The home had appropriately transferred information from the assessment to the Medication Administration Record where needed such as allergic to penicillin. A resident that expressed that they had pain was attended to directly. The homes medicinal fridge was not having recorded the maximum, minimum and current temperature to ensure that medication was being stored to the manufacturers instruction. It was also recommended that it be recorded on the Medication Administration Record when liquid medication is opened. Staff were observed to treat residents appropriately and with respect. One resident said that the staff were ‘obliging.’ One resident said that she spends time in her room but staff always come and check on her. Another resident said it was ‘a good decision to come here.’ Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.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 Quality in this outcome area was adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home were making appropriate arrangements for activities and meals but need to consider how they respond to individual residents needs and maintain independence. The arrangements for visiting and choice were appropriate. EVIDENCE: A number of the residents in the home were able to organise activities for themselves and these residents were seen reading, watching television in their room and going out. A number of residents attend day centres. Residents with dementia did not have an individual structured activity plan that included one to one time with staff. However staff were recording activities that residents enjoyed in daily records and this was an improvement on previous inspections. Residents appeared to be able to visit when they wanted and were seen visiting relatives in the lounges. It was clear that residents were able to spend time in their room if they wanted residents said that they were able to get up when they wanted and go to bed when they wanted. There was evidence of this information being Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 collected at the assessment stage. Individual residents were having breakfast at 10am and residents said they were able to have a cooked breakfast if they wished. Meals were provided in two dining areas. The tables were well set out with table clothes, condiments and flowers. Meals were plated and the choice of meal for the day was sausages or chicken and mushroom pie. The inspector tried the latter and this was tasty and well prepared. Residents said the food was generally good but several made comments about the sausages, which they thought were not good and had tough skins, and beef burgers were not liked. Residents when asked did not appear to know what was for dinner or pudding and menus at the table may assist with this. A number of the residents were quite able and consideration of the use of tureens for self-service would perhaps increase the amount of conversation at the table. Drinks were available at the table. The inspector saw one resident struggling in cutting up their food and suggested that large handled knife and fork may assist and was told that this was provided for them at the day centre. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.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 Quality in this outcome area was good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has processes and procedures in place that protect residents. EVIDENCE: The Commission have had no complaints since the last inspection. The home states they have had no complaints. The home as a complaints procedure that meets the requirements but ensure that the Commissions details are the same on each version. Residents said they had no complaints other than the small issues raised previously. The home needs to look how they encourage residents’ comments and how they record these to further improve the service. All staff have had a Protection of Vulnerable Adult check as a minimum before employment and Criminal Record Bureau checks are routinely applied for. The home has appropriate adult protection procedures. The home has had no incidents of an adult protection nature since the last inspection. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 16 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 19,20, 21,22,24 & 26 Quality in this outcome area was adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Whilst the areas used by residents were pleasant and attractively furnished the kitchen, and staff areas needed to be refurbished and reorganised to ensure a hygienic environment. EVIDENCE: The home was clean and fresh on the day of the inspection and generally well maintained. The building appeared homely and the home had recently bought some new chairs. The home should consider when replacing any more the heights of the residents to ensure that there are a range of chairs that residents can choose. The home was building some offices in the garden and although this may assist the organisation further work was needed to make the garden accessible and a pleasant are for all residents to use. The garden was accessed via the Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 back door by means of steps, which was problematic for some of the residents. Residents unable to manage the steps could access the garden by going out of the front door and around the side of the home but this was curtailed by the building work. The home did not inform the Commission about this building work. The home’s kitchen was extremely hot on the day of inspection before cooking started. The ventilation was inadequate. The units were looking tired and some edges of shelving were compacted board and unable to be adequately cleaned. The fridge temperatures recorded were higher than the 0-5 degree centigrade recommended to prevent bacteria growth. The home does not have a dishwasher and for the number of residents this is recommended. A bathroom in the home had not been refurbished as recommended at the previous inspection and contains a manual sluice that is not recommended by Health Promotion Agency. The owners provided the Commission of minimal details of proposed works to rectify these areas but these are not in enough detail for the inspector to monitor progress. The home still wishes to retain the manual sluice and not upgrade the bathroom to provide a full assisted bathing area. The home is proposing an upgrade of the kitchen within 12 months and the garden area within 6 months including improving the access for residents. The home had appropriate aid and adaptations for residents but had no storage space for the hoist and wheelchairs. The hoist was kept in the lounge and wheelchairs were being stored in the laundry. Residents were moved appropriately and had items such as spectacles and hearing aids in place. Residents’ bedrooms were clean and furnished to a high quality. Residents’ had brought in their belongings and these were very personalised. A number of bedrooms have en suites and some have showers. A number of ventilation units were not working well. Communal bathing and toilet facilities had liquid hand wash and paper towels available. The laundry had staff uniforms hung up and staff belongings were kept in staff toilet these arrangements must be reviewed to ensure security of staff belongs and good infection control practices. The home has a sluice washing machine and tumble dry facilities. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27, 28, 29 & 30 Quality in this outcome area was adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home generally recruits staff in appropriate way but must ensure that staff continue to have the ability to work in the UK. Induction, mandatory and NVQ 2 training in care levels needed to be improved and records organised so these can be scrutinised to show that staff have the skills needed to meet residents need. EVIDENCE: At the time of the inspection there appeared to be enough staff to provide the care for the residents. The home provided four weeks staffing rotas. The rotas did not show who was in charge of the home when the manager was not present or any management hours when the manager was off sick. The home currently provides three carers for the morning shift and two for the afternoon and a cook between 8-30 and 1pm and 3 or 4 and 7pm. The manager stated that 5 out of the current 15 care staff have the NVQ 2 in care and this puts them below the 50 required at 30 . A number of staff are currently undertaking the course. The inspector checked the Criminal Record Bureau checks for all the staff in the home. The vast majority of these were in place. A number had been employed following a Protection of Vulnerable Adult check only and this was Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 acceptable. One staff member needed to update their evidence for being able to work in the UK. The training records were not clear that staff were meeting the Skills for Care induction requirements or the mandatory training requirement and a matrix of staff attendance at training was requested. Bournbrook Manor DS0000017006.V301120.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 20 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 at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 31,33,35,36,37 & 38 Quality in this outcome area was good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has clear management processes and the procedures in place protect residents. The home could make further improvements in resident consultation and showing how they have acted on this. EVIDENCE: The manager of the home has become the registered manager since the last inspection and as part of her registration has to completed the registered managers award by 30 April 2007. The home has begun a quality assurance system but the results of this are not yet in place an annual report of the outcome of consultations and audit of service will need to be produced and be available on request.
