This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This was an announced inspection and the first of the statutory inspections for the home for 2005/2006. The inspection was carried out over one day by two inspectors. During the visit a tour of the premises was carried out, three resident files and three staff files were inspected as well as numerous policies and procedures, other care records and health and safety records. The inspectors spoke with the proprietor, manager, deputy and other staff on duty at the time and eight of the residents. What the service does well:
There was a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere in the home with evident good relationships between staff and residents. Without exception residents spoken with were very happy with the staff group making comments such as: ‘They can’t do enough for you’ ‘ They look after us well’ ‘ I could talk to anyone about anything’ ‘ The comfort and care are good.’ The assessments and care plans in the home were good and contained a lot of detail about how the residents wanted to be cared for and what they could do for themselves. It was obvious that the staff knew the residents well and their likes and dislikes. The meals were good and there were choices available at all meal times. Several of the residents commented how nice it was to be able to have a cooked breakfast every day if they wished. There were no rigid rules or routines in the home and the residents could spend their time as they wished. There were some organised activities available in the home and a variety of parties and social gatherings had taken place. The health care needs of the residents were met and there was a good system in place to ensure they received their medication at the right times. The staffing levels at the home were good ensuring there were enough staff on duty to look after the residents. The home was well managed and the manager was careful when employing staff to ensure all the right checks were carried out before employing anyone. Health and safety of staff and residents were very high priority and extremely well managed.

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 Standards Statutory Requirements Identified During the Inspection Bournville Grange e54_S44748_Bournville_V224345_140605 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 standard(s) 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The home’s statement of purpose and service user guide were good providing residents and prospective residents or their representatives with details of the services the home provided enabling an informed decision about admission to be made. The assessment procedures in the home were good ensuring the needs of the residents were known and could be met by the staff. EVIDENCE: Bournville Grange e54_S44748_Bournville_V224345_140605 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 There was a statement of purpose and service user guide for the home both had been amended since the last inspection and included all the relevant information. The service users guide was issued to all prospective residents or their representatives. The resident’s files sampled evidenced that where applicable social workers had undertaken assessments and drawn up the initial care plans for the residents. In addition the home’s management team were carrying out their own assessments on the pre-admission visits to the home to ensure that prospective residents met the criteria for the home and that the home could meet their needs. Once admitted to the home further assessments were undertaken these informed the first care plan that was drawn up. All residents were being issued with a statement of terms and conditions of residence at the point of admission to the home. The detail in relation to complaints included in this needed to be amended as it conflicted with the complaints procedure for the home and did not make it clear that complaints could be referred to the CSCI at any point. All the residents spoken with were happy that their needs were being met and all appeared content. The practices observed throughout the inspection evidenced that staff were able to meet the needs of the residents, for example, interactions with residents with dementia, appropriate activities and appropriate assistance with personal care. There was also evidence on daily records of personal care needs being met and of the general medical needs of residents being met including, chiropody, optician and doctors visits. There were aids and adaptations throughout the home to assist those residents with mobility difficulties and to enable staff to assist where necessary. Bournville Grange e54_S44748_Bournville_V224345_140605 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 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 standard(s) 7, 8, 9, and 10. The care planning system in the home was good ensuring staff knew the individual needs of the residents and how they were to be met. There were comprehensive risk assessments for residents that included strategies for minimising any risks. Staff needed to ensure that all care plans and risk assessments were updated to reflect the current needs of the residents. Health care needs were being identified and followed up and the systems for administration of medication were good ensuring resident’s medication needs were being met. EVIDENCE: Three residents files were sampled and generally the care plans and risk assessments were very detailed. All files had completed nocturnal needs assessments which gave very detailed information in relation to the service users’ needs at night and how staff were to meet these needs. The care plans detailed resident’s needs in several areas of their lives including, personal hygiene, mobility, social activities and communication. There was good detail included of what the residents were able to do for themselves and where they needed assistance. One of the care plans seen needed updating in relation to the progress made on obtaining a hearing aid for the individual and the ongoing treatment being received.
Bournville Grange e54_S44748_Bournville_V224345_140605 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 There were manual handling and personal risk assessments on all the files sampled and the majority were well documented and explained how staff were to minimise risks. It was noted that one resident had had several falls however there was no risk assessment in relation to this. Also the manual handling risk assessments needed to include the size of the sling to be used where a hoist was needed. The residents spoken with were happy that their health care needs were being met. One commented about the frequent visits from the district nurses to treat his pressure areas that had been ongoing since before admission to the home but which were now improving. There was evidence on the resident’s files of health care needs being met, for example, doctors and optician’s visits and chiropody treatment. Tissue viability and nutritional screenings had been undertaken for all residents and weights were being monitored on a regular basis. Staff needed to be consistent when make recordings about the health and welfare of the residents as there were some gaps. This was discussed with the manager who had already identified the problem and was addressing it. Very good systems had been installed in the home for the management of medication. All medication was being acknowledged when received into the home, administered and disposed of. Only senior staff were administering medication. One very minor recoding error was noted but this would have had no impact on the health and safety of the resident. There were no issues raised in relation to privacy and dignity during the course of the inspection. Staff used appropriate terms of address and spoke respectfully to residents. Medical consultations took place in the resident’s own rooms. Resident’s could receive visitors in their rooms or one of the quieter areas of the home if they wanted privacy. All bedrooms had been fitted with appropriate locks and Keys were available for residents. There was only one double room in the home and this had had a privacy curtain fitted since the last inspection.

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 standard(s) 12, 13, 14 and 15. There were no rigid rules or routines in the home and activities were available to offer stimulation to residents. Documentation needed to detail the activities residents were taking part in to evidence their social needs were being met. The meals in the home were good with choices available for residents. EVIDENCE: There did not appear to be any rigid rules or routines in the home and residents confirmed they could spend their time as they chose. Residents were seen to be wandering around freely, spending time in the lounges watching television, reading newspapers taking part in activities and spending time in their bedrooms. There were some activities on offer at the home including reminiscence, progressive mobility and board games. Staff did take residents out for a walk to the local park and there were occasional visiting entertainers. A variety of themed events did take place in the home, for example, a Hawaiian tea party was planned and there had been parties for Valentine day and VE day. Residents also visited the other homes of the proprietor for social events. Resident’s likes, dislikes and preferences were detailed in their care plans. Staff needed to ensure they documented the activities residents were taking part in or declining to evidence they were meeting their social needs. Bournville Grange e54_S44748_Bournville_V224345_140605 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 There did not appear to be any restrictions on visitors to the home in reasonable hours. Visitors were seen to come and go throughout the course of the inspection and seemed to be made very welcome and very friendly relationships with staff were evident. The inspectors joined the residents for lunch on the day of the inspection and the meal was well cooked and presented. Staff were available to assist throughout the meal if they were needed. All the residents spoken with were happy with the catering arrangements at the home and confirmed they had choices at all meal times. A new cook had been appointed and residents seemed happy with her cooking and stated she did go around the home and enquire if they liked the food. Residents were able to have a cooked breakfast every day if they wished. Although there was a dining room at the home some residents chose to eat in the lounges and could also have their meals in their bedrooms if they wished. The dining room was a very pleasant room, well furnished and decorated. Bournville Grange e54_S44748_Bournville_V224345_140605 - Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 Complaints and Protection

Resident and staff meetings were being held giving staff and residents the opportunity to air their views and discuss a variety of issues. There were systems in place for monitoring the quality of the service offered including questionnaires for residents and relatives, health and safety audits by outside agencies and residents meetings. However both the manager and the proprietor were aware of the requirement to have a formal quality assurance system in the home. The manager was only holding money in safe keeping for one resident at her request and a record of this was being kept. For those residents who were unable to handle their own finances the proprietor would purchase any items the service users required and then invoiced the appropriate person. Staff were receiving supervision from either the manager or deputy manager however the required level of six sessions per year was not being achieved. There was an abundance of policies and procedures on site which were regularly reviewed. All the records sampled during the course of the inspection were well ordered and up to date.
