What the care home does well

The home provides a high level of care to those living at Bridge House within a homely and family run environment. It was clearly evident that the registered manager/provider and the staff team are committed to ensuring that all of the needs of individual`s at the home are met, this is done through consultation and observation and previous knowledge and an understanding of individuals through a holistic individualised process. Residents spoke with high levels of satisfaction of the care and attention they receive at the home. Residents said they were very happy at the home and named staff members whom they had established good relationships with. Records at the home are well maintained with clear evidence to show that the residents have fully participated within the care planning process.

What has improved since the last inspection?

Only two requirements were made at the last inspection. Residents can be assured that they are supported appropriately to maintain their independence and retain some of their medication within a risk management framework. Residents can also be assured that controlled medication within the home is well managed.

What the care home could do better:

In order to fully demonstrate that residents are safe in the garden the home must complete a risk assessment in respect of a wall. Residents would be assured that staff are aware of their current daily routines if these were reviewed.

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, 11 Individual’s health, medication, personal and social needs are well met, responded to and reviewed on an ongoing basis with appropriate access made to services when required.

There was clear information within care records that evidenced that individuals are supported by staff in order to make decisions about their lives, that they have been given appropriate assistance and that support had been tailored to the needs of the individuals in order that they can make an informed decision. It was clear that where able individuals had been consulted and their input within assessment processes had been recorded in care records. Each person’s plan sets out the in detail the action which needs to be taken by staff to ensure that all aspects of health, personal and social care needs of residents are met, records were seen to be detailed. Staff knowledge on individual’s expectation’s and support was sound and care plans are reviewed and updated on a regular monthly basis.

Bridge House DS0000003316.V270733.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 11 Information seen within care records maintained at the home show that the registered provider/manager promote and maintain residents health and ensures access to health care service in order to meet assessed needs. Comment cards received from a district nurse and a general practitioner who visit residents at the home on a regular basis confirmed that the home communicates and works in partnership with them, that any specialist advice is incorporated within individuals care plans, that staff demonstrate a clear understanding of the care needs of residents. Both also agreed that they are satisfied with the overall care, which is provided to residents at the home. Residents told the inspector that they see the doctor when they request it and another resident said that they have ‘never been in better health’. Information seen in individual’s records showed that individuals have received specialist healthcare support such as dermatology and a community psychiatric nurse. The inspector observed part of the staff handover; staff communicated clearly the needs of residents and how staff would meet these. These handovers are a good process of ensuring continuity of care and clear communication. Residents told the inspector they receive their post unopened and that they vote when the time comes and are supported to visit polling stations if they wish. Residents who are responsible for their own medication are protected by the homes polices and procedures. Rachel Parnell have reviewed and updated the homes medication procedures, the information in place covered all areas to ensure the safety and protection of residents. Miss Parnell consulted with others and cascaded the policy to staff. A requirement was made at the last inspection that a risk assessment must be completed re use of controlled medication for individual who self medicates.

Another requirement was made at the last inspection in respect of medication, the home were required to ensure that controlled medication to be stored and administered as per the Royal pharmaceutical guidelines a review of the medication administered at the home found that this had been met. Records of medication received, administered, stock held medicines and returned medication were all found to be well recorded, audited and well managed. A staff member was observed giving out medication at lunchtime, they explained to residents what their medication was for and supported them to take their medication appropriately. This manager was able to demonstrate a sound understanding of their role and responsibility in this area. The home have consulted with residents and their families to ensure that they have a record of individuals wishes and choices at the end of their life.

Residents were extremely complimentary about the support and attention they receive. Residents said that they are treated as part of an extended family and one said the home is ‘run by a family for the family’. Another resident told the inspector that Jane Parnell ‘should get a medal for her hard work and love she shows to us’. From discussions with residents and from information contained within the fourteen returned comment cards it appears that residents find the lifestyle experienced within the home matches individuals expectations, and preferences and satisfies their social, religious and recreational interests. A record of scheduled activities that take place at the home is on display with group activities taking place every afternoon and additional time allocated each morning for one-to-one time with individuals.
