This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The quality rating for this service is 3 star. This means the people who use this service experience Excellent quality outcomes.
This inspection took place over one day and a total of six hours were spent in the home. To gather enough evidence to support our judgements for this inspection, We The Commission asked the service provider to complete an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). The AQAA is a self-assessment that focuses on how well outcomes are being met for people living in the home. It also gives us some numerical information about the service, and how they intend to maintain or improve outcomes for people using their service. Once we had received this information we carried out a visit to the home and spoke to people living there, the staff and relatives. Whilst in the home we also looked at documents maintained for the day-to-day running of the service. These included care plans, staff recruitment, training and supervision. Also records relevant to the administration of medication, the service records and health and safety. What the service does well:
Brockley Court Continued to provide a person centred approach to care for people with Dementia. They recognised the diverse needs of people in their care responding to people’s daily needs rather than tasks that needed to be done. Staff had a clear understanding of the intrinsic needs of people with Dementia respecting their individuality and personal dignity at all times. They also had a clear respect for people’s cultural and religious differences, and supporting people in the home to maintain personal relationships. People in the home benefit from an organised activities programme which identifies peoples preferences and hobbies so that they can continue to follow interests they had before entering the home. This included a snooker table, football table and various activities to attend both within the home and the local community. People also had access to secure garden areas which meant they felt free to come and go as they wished. The management showed a commitment to training which meant staff had a clear understanding of the needs of people with dementia, and also received
Brockley Court Home
DS0000072414.V376367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 training specific to their role in the home. This commitment had resulted in 90 of the staff in the home having qualified to an NVQ level 2 In Social Care, this is good practice. Management also showed that they consulted both the people living in the home , their relatives and advocates about the way they would prefer it was run, with a monthly relatives meeting and a Quality Assurance process that would allow people to voice their views.

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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 3 and 5. 6 does not apply in this instance. People using the service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are provided with sufficient information to enable them to make an informed choice about which home to move into. They are offered a chance to visit the home and a full assessment of their needs is carried out before a place is offered. EVIDENCE: We asked for a copy of the Statement of Purpose, which showed us that all people wanting to move into the home could see what the service could or could not provide. The Statement of Purpose was very clearly written and included all the details people needed to know about to help them make an informed choice. The Statement of Purpose also informed people that the home respected all peoples personal choices, this included enabling people to

DS0000072414.V376367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 continue to follow their chosen religion or supporting their cultural needs. Staff had also received training in supporting and respecting people’s personal relationships within the home. People living in Brockley Court all had Service Users Guides, which would provide them with information in a more appropriate format such as large print. The manager confirmed they had looked at providing the information in an easy read format incorporating words and pictures to help people with a cognitive impairment. We looked at the pre-admission assessments for people recently moved to the home. They showed us that a full and comprehensive assessment was carried out before a place was offered to the person or their advocate. These included their personal likes and dislikes and a social history so that they could form the basis of a care plan that would be in place from the first day of moving in. We spoke to people about their experiences of moving into Brockley Court but they were unable to comment, one person said her daughter had done the arranging and she was happy. Brockley Court Home DS0000072414.V376367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9 and 10. People using the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People living in Brockley Court benefit from personal and specialist health care support, which is provided in a person centred way. This includes respecting their personal likes and dislikes, privacy and dignity. They benefit from an efficient medication policy and procedure, including guidance, which all staff had access to. EVIDENCE: We looked at four care plans, they were all written in a person centred way, this meant they respected peoples personal likes and dislikes. We saw references to the way people preferred to dress, when they preferred to get up in the morning or go to bed. We also looked at social histories that could tell staff why a person might act in a certain way. Staff showed that they understood the care plans and the importance of respecting people’s
Brockley Court Home
DS0000072414.V376367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 individuality in a respectful and dignified manner. We observed staff helping people throughout our visit. They were all respectful and caring but not in a way that would make a person feel belittled or childlike, everybody was treated as an adult and this was seen as good practice. People were helped to make a choice about the way they wanted to dress or what they wanted to do. One person we spoke to said they had lived at Brockley Court for a long time, they said they had always been happy but things were a lot different, with them being able to make decisions about the way their care was provided. The people we spoke to were not able to comment in detail about their care but they all said they were happy. One person said they had moved into the home to give a relative a rest and was very well cared for, another said they were very happy and liked all the staff. Staff spoken to were aware of peoples diverse needs and managed the day on a personal rather that task orientated basis. The records we looked at also confirmed that people living at Brockley Court were actively assisted to attend the GP surgery, hospital outpatients, appointments at clinics as well as input from health care professionals from specialist areas such as district nurse, Community Psychiatric Team, dentist and chiropodist. The manager had forged a good relationship with the local mental health team enabling people to experience some consistency in their care and support. All staff handling medication had received training and the manager reviewed their competency regularly. An audit of medication held in the home showed that the policies and procedures in place were being followed appropriately by staff. We found that stock in the home was appropriately managed and that an audit trail of medication being received and returned was maintained. The manager had also arranged for regular medication reviews to be carried out by a pharmacist so that people in their care did not continue on a medication for longer than necessary. This was considered good practice. Brockley Court Home DS0000072414.V376367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 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. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14 and 15.

This enables them to maintain some control over their lifestyle. They benefit from continued contact with family, friends and the local community. A wellbalanced menu means people benefit from a healthy nutritional diet. EVIDENCE: The staff at Brockley Court had continued since the last inspection to build on the activities being made available both in the home and the local community. Both the manager and staff confirmed that they had introduced an area in the home where people could go to use a snooker table and football table. They had introduced a musical workshop as an experiment and had been pleasantly surprised to find that people enjoyed the sessions and wanted to continue with them so they had become a regular event. During the summer month’s people also had the use of a golf putting game in the garden. During our visit people spent time in the garden, whilst others chose to watch the tennis, two people
Brockley Court Home
DS0000072414.V376367.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 listened to music in the quiet lounge and a gentleman went to feed the birds in the aviary. Wee looked at records kept by staff and they showed us that people were offered the chance to join in activities which included a regular monthly visit be an Hawaiian dancer, reminiscence music, musical exercise, tea dances, board games, bingo, painting and table tennis. Other activities could be made available to meet people’s hobbies and interests. People spoken to said they had plenty to do, one person said they were happy watching the tennis whilst another person said they always watched the ‘soaps’ after lunch. The manager confirmed that the home, with the support of the local community could enable people to maintain their religious preferences. This would be by helping them attend at their place of worship or by welcoming religious leaders into the home. One person spoken to said that they would be going to the vicar’s visit and hymn singing later that day and was looking forward to the occasion. There were no restrictions on visiting and people were seen to come and go throughout the day, one person said they always felt welcomed when they visited and that staff tried very hard to make them feel at home. A monthly relative support meeting had been put in place with relatives helping to organise activities for people in the home. The home had a four weekly menu, which included traditional meals recognised by the residents and also reflected personal preferences. The cook was aware of personal and dietary requirements and although the choice was not printed on the menu one was always made available. A record maintained of daily meals showed evidence of residents making a choice on a day-to-day basis. The meals were prepared from fresh meat and vegetables with fresh fruit available daily. Following a recent visit from North Somerset Food Hygiene team the home was award 5 stars for ‘Food and Food Hygiene.’ Since the last inspection the cook had completed the NVQ level 2 in Catering and was discussing moving on to the next level. People spoken to said they had enjoyed a good roast dinner. The mealtime was unhurried and treated as a social occasion.

The manager also had details of local advocacy services people could use as well as information about obtaining an IMCA (Independent Mental Capacity Advocate). People living in the home indicated that they knew who to talk to and said that they always felt they could talk to staff, most people did not comment in detail about how they would make a complaint.

Mrs Talbot has 30 years experience in health and residential/community settings, and had held a management position for the last 10 years. She had completed the NVQ 4 In Care and The Registered Managers Award. She had also attended Training in Dementia Care, which enabled her to cascade the knowledge down to care staff in the home raising awareness of the needs of those with dementia. Mrs Talbot continued to show a commitment to training, maintaining a clear understanding of the needs of the residents both for her and for staff. We discussed interest from outside organisations and Mrs Talbot confirmed that the home was undergoing the Investors In People assessment and had been approached by Care and Support to assess them for membership. She encouraged an open and inclusive ethos. Staff were adequately supervised with emphasis being placed on personal development and training, which would be relevant to their role in the home. Staff spoken to said they felt well supported and enabled when providing care for the people in the home. Efficient systems were in place to monitor the quality of the service provided.

This meant they could obtain their opinions so that they would underpin any changes adopted in the following twelve months. The home works to a clear Health and Safety policy, which all staff are fully aware of. The implementation of health and safety within the home was satisfactory. All residents had personal risk assessments and an independent body had carried out the generic risk assessment of the home. The manager had put in place an emergency contingency plan; she had arranged a predetermined place of safety for residents in the event of evacuation being required. Accommodation and transportation had been agreed, this reflected good practice. A review of the fire log showed all tests, training and drills were being carried out to the Avon and Somerset Fire Brigade guidelines.
