What the care home does well

The staff at Broadreach gather information about the clients before they are admitted to ensure they can support the clients to make the best of their treatment. Each client has an individual contract for their stay at Broadreach which clearly sets out the restrictions on choice and freedom necessary as part of the treatment programme. Clients consent to any restrictions which are clinically necessary for participation in the programme, the contracts specify the circumstances under which clients may leave the premises during treatment. Despite these restrictions there is an emphasis on enablement and self empowerment. The home provides a good selection of meals and takes care to meet clients special diets and food preferences without losing sight of the fact that providing a healthy balanced diet is part of the therapeutic/care regime. Service users physical and psychological needs are met. Clients feel listened to and procedures are in place for their protection. The clients were complimentary about the staff team confirming their needs were met 24 hours a day. Comments received from clients included: `I am really impressed with the care and support that I am given here at Broadreach`, `the carers have been there for me on a number of occasions when I needed them`, `excellent staff felt welcomed and well supported by both nursing and counselling staff`,` `the staff are really wicked`.

What has improved since the last inspection?

A range of nursing, care and counselling staff are employed at Broadreach as well as administrative, financial, training and ancillary staff. Much work has been done in recent months to improve working relationships within the home. At the time of the last inspection a divide was evident between the counselling staff and the registered nurses. Cohesive working and interlinking roles and responsibilities has been key to improved working patterns. Staffing levels at times during the day have been revised and staff confirmed a flexible approach is now applied to ensure adequate levels of staff in line with the busiest times of the day for example when clients are being admitted. Clients are no longer admitted in the evenings reducing the pressure on a lower level of staff at that time. Feedback from clients and residents during the inspection has provided evidence that the acting manager encourages openness for clients and staff. The acting manager and her team in line with good practise advice have reviewed policies procedures and practises recently. Action has been progressed within agreed timescales to implement requirements made in previous CSCI Inspection reports. A Number of staff spoken to during the inspection felt that management of the home showed a greater commitment to listening and supporting them in their roles in a positive manner which was improving systems of working and ultimately the standards of care provided to clients.

What the care home could do better:

Clients were complimentary about the environment confirming it meets their needs with the exception of the seating in the main lounge, which was reported as being `hard` and uncomfortable this has been reported following previous inspections and feedback. The home is well run, but the current person managing the home is not registered under the Care Standards Act 2000.

Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Prospective users’ individual aspirations and needs are assessed. Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 2 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The home has a safe admission procedure, which helps to ensure that clients will make the best of the treatment available at Broadreach. EVIDENCE: The inspector examined the personal records held on behalf of 3 clients. The records showed that staff at Broadreach gather information about the clients before they are admitted to ensure they can support the clients to make the best of their treatment. Clients are encouraged to visit Broadreach if possible to have an assessment of their needs in person prior to admission being arranged but sometimes because of the distance that some clients live from the home this is not possible so assessments take place via the telephone and both written and verbal information is taken from social and health care professionals involved in the clients care before the residential treatment programme is agreed. One resident spoke about the process taken to arrange their admission the client explained that they had been in such a poor physical and psychological state prior to their admission that they had relied heavily on the professionals around them to arrange their admission. The client told the inspector that as soon as they visited the home and met the staff they had felt supported and positive about the process. Broadreach DS0000003576.V292723.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Written feedback received from 4 clients indicated that 3 of them, had been asked if they wanted to be admitted to Broadreach and the other stated ‘ I asked to be referred to Broadreach because I had been told so much about it from people that had been there before’. Each client has an individual contract for their stay at Broadreach which clearly sets out the restrictions on choice and freedom necessary as part of the treatment programme. Clients consent to any restrictions which are clinically necessary for participation in the programme the contracts specify the circumstances under which clients may leave the premises during treatment. Broadreach DS0000003576.V292723.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Clients know their assessed needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual plan. Clients are encouraged to make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Clients are supported to take risks within realistic goals of their treatment programme. EVIDENCE: Being a drug and alcohol rehabilitation unit there are some restrictions on choice and freedom. Clients are made aware of these restrictions, before their entry to the unit. Despite these restrictions there is an emphasis on enablement and self - empowerment. Written feedback from clients when asked – Do you make decisions about what you do each day included: ‘there is set times for group work, I suppose I make my own decisions about what I do in my own time’, ‘this is about me having choices to-day, there is no pressure on me to do anything’. Broadreach uses a pathway approach to care, this is supported by individualised records, which were inspected and found to be regularly Broadreach DS0000003576.V292723.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 reviewed; entries are made to the reports on an at least twice daily basis. Records of counselling were seen as were documented individual risk assessments and the inspector observed joint communication between counselling staff about how group work sessions had been received that day the meeting included taking agreed action to meet any communicated individual needs that might require additional staff support. Those clients spoken to confirmed that they were aware and in agreement with the restrictions and structure required within their treatment plans. Through discussion with clients and management it is apparent that clients needs are met.

During the evenings a range of alternative activities are offered, these again mainly relate to the therapeutic approach of the home. Clients cannot go out of the home unattended by staff until they have been under treatment for a set period of time and visitors are only allowed by appointment. Broadreach DS0000003576.V292723.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 Clients told the inspector that they sometimes get ‘bored’ and would like the opportunity to play football or pool at times when there is no organised therapeutic activity, it should be understood that this free time is an integral part of the therapeutic programme. During the afternoon of the inspection a number of clients were sitting in the lounge they confirmed that they had attended group therapy sessions in the morning and that they had had the opportunity to join in 1 of 2 yoga sessions that afternoon, but had chosen not to do so. Clients are expected to take responsibility for their own lives and how they affect others, as part of the programme. Written comments received from clients included: ‘basically I abide by the rules of Broadreach by attending group therapy and 1:1 sessions’ Guidance about intimate personal relationships is given to each client within the individual treatment programme contract i.e. for clinical and therapeutic reasons intimate relations are discouraged from developing.

The Commission (CSCI) has yet to receive an application for the individual to be registered as manager under the Care Standards Act 2000 and associated regulations (8&9). Feedback from clients and residents during the inspection has provided evidence that the acting manager encourages openness for clients and staff. Broadreach DS0000003576.V292723.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 Residents spoken to and those who provided written feedback to the Commission confirmed that they feel listened to and that their views underpin developments in the home.
