The inspector found there to be outstanding requirements from the previous inspection report but made no statutory requirements on the home.

What follows are excerpts from this inspection report. For more information read the full report on the next tab.

What the care home does well

The home had a clear ethos of valuing residents and the residents confirmed that they were well supported by a committed staff group. Examples of some comments were that: staff are nice and have time to spend with residents; that the proprietor always asks for the resident`s views when he visits; that the resident likes swimming and cooking and could do this; that the resident was able to come and see the home many times and was given the information needed to decided that Bromley Road was the preferred home. Residents were aware of their care plans and it was evident that they had contributed to it. A feeling of safety was expressed and of confidence in the management and staff team to deal with any issues that might impinge on safety or well being. There was a range of activities in which the residents were involved, both in and outside the home, which reflected individual preferences and choices. Family contacts were supported and encouraged The home worked in partnership with the specialist health professionals to ensure that health needs would be met. Residents considered the premises comfortable and meeting their needs

What has improved since the last inspection?

Extensive building work had been done to improve the premises and make them more suitable to resident`s changing needs. This included the addition of three en-suite bedrooms and rendering part of the ground floor accessible to people with restricted mobility. Action had been taken, although not all completed, to comply with previous requirements.

What the care home could do better:

Some documents or procedures were still to be completed. Some were to ensure that prospective and existing residents would have more comprehensive information about the service; others to strengthen some specific areas, such as that of medications or vetting staff. Effort was being put into strengthening or consolidating quality assurance systems and to ensure that residents` opinions and experiences underpinned the monitoring, review and development of the service. This work was not yet completed.

The overall aim is that of providing care and to empower service users to make informed decisions, leading to fulfilling experiences. The philosophy is that of enabling ordinary living as members of the community, with equal rights and access to employment, training, recreation, housing, health and social services. 22 Bromley Road aims to achieve this by ensuring that the service would be based on a thorough assessment of needs and delivered in collaboration with external agencies. Recruitment and training would be targeted to enable staff to advance the rights to privacy, dignity, independence, security, civil rights, choice. The provider is an organisation named: ‘Mpower Ltd’. represented by one of its directors. The day-to-day running of the home is delegated to a care manager.The premises are a large detached house, set back from a busy main road, with a large garden. Recent building work extended the house to provide eleven single bedrooms, 3 with en-suite facilities and to make part of the premises suitable for people using wheelchairs. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was unannounced and consisted of one visit conducted on 20 May 2005, during the afternoon. The findings were informed by general observations, discussion with two residents, discussion with one of the two deputy managers, brief discussion with the other deputy and inspection of records. The focus of this inspection was: To follow up on requirements or recommendations from the previous inspections. To inspect the premises following the extensive building work, that had been undertaken over the past year to extend the house. Some requirements or recommendations from the previous inspection could not be properly followed up because the manager, who had been away for a while, was the main person working on them. Additionally the time scales for some had not yet expired. However, the deputy confirmed that action had been initiated on all. Those requirements are therefore stated again with the same or with a new time scale. What the service does well: The home had a clear ethos of valuing residents and the residents confirmed that they were well supported by a committed staff group. Examples of some comments were that: staff are nice and have time to spend with residents; that the proprietor always asks for the resident’s views when he visits; that the resident likes swimming and cooking and could do this; that the resident was able to come and see the home many times and was given the information needed to decided that Bromley Road was the preferred home. Residents were aware of their care plans and it was evident that they had contributed to it. A feeling of safety was expressed and of confidence in the management and staff team to deal with any issues that might impinge on safety or well being. There was a range of activities in which the residents were involved, both in and outside the home, which reflected individual preferences and choices. Family contacts were supported and encouraged The home worked in partnership with the specialist health professionals to ensure that health needs would be met. Residents considered the premises comfortable and meeting their needs 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 6 What has improved since the last inspection?

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 standard(s) 1,2,3,4,5 Prospective residents’ needs and aspirations were assessed, so that a service tailored to their needs could be provided. Residents were informed about what could be expected from the home. Some essential documents were yet to be completed, to offer residents a better opportunity to consider whether the service at Bromley Road would be their preferred option for meeting their support needs. EVIDENCE: One resident discussed how the process of admission had been carried out and confirmed that he was able to visit and spend enough time at the home to decide that he wanted to live there. The deputy confirmed that any new admission to the home would only be conducted after a thorough consideration of the placing authority’s assessment. The home did not take emergency admissions. The residents discussed some of the specialist health services received; this was consistent with the information from records and from staff. It continued, therefore, to be evident that the home worked in partnership with residents and external professionals to meet users’ assessed needs. Care plans seen showed evidence of reviews. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 As discussed at the previous inspection, the revised statement of purpose was informative, but needed more details regarding staffing and the provider’s assessment of staffing needs. Individual contracts were to be revised. A service users’ guide, appropriate to the needs of the residents, was to be completed, although much of the information to be included in such guide was available in other documents. The deputy manager assured that work on all the above was being undertaken. (The time scales were not yet expired and the requirements or recommendations are therefore repeated). 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Service users know their assessed and changing needs and personal goals are reflected in their individual Plan. Service users make decisions about their lives with assistance as needed. Service users are consulted on, and participate, in all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 0 (A judgement could not be made as no outcomes were assessed, although there were previous recommendations that are re-stated) EVIDENCE: The recommendations from the previous inspection are repeated. It was not possible to check, on this occasion, whether they had been implemented or not, due to the manager and provider (the lead people on this work) not being present, as this was an unannounced inspection. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 Lifestyle The intended outcomes for Standards 11 - 17 are: 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. Service users have opportunities for personal development. Service users are able to take part in age, peer and culturally appropriate activities. Service users are part of the local community. Service users engage in appropriate leisure activities. Service users have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. Service users’ rights are respected and responsibilities recognised in their daily lives. Service users are offered a healthy diet and enjoy their meals and mealtimes. The Commission considers Standards 12, 13, 15, 16 and 17 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 11,12,13,14,15,16,17 Residents were supported in maintaining independence and in achieving a fulfilling lifestyle in and outside the home, so that they would have opportunity for personal development and inclusion in the community, consistent with their aspirations, cultural and spiritual needs. EVIDENCE: 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 Residents spoke about the range of activities, which they had chosen, with staff support, according to their individual preferences. They showed satisfaction with the way staff informed them and helped them to make decisions, outlining choices and consequences. Residents and staff gave examples of ways in which residents were supported in taking responsibility in their daily life, including assessing risks and how to minimise them. A resident spoke in some detail about the family and friendship links she and other residents were supported in maintaining. She said that she was able to receive visitors in private and to mix with people not resident at the home. Discussion with the deputy and inspection of files confirmed that staff supported residents to have appropriate family, personal and sexual relationships. One resident and staff confirmed that residents could cook their own meals, or could eat the communal meals, which they planned and helped prepare (usually on a rota basis). This was also observed. From discussion of menus, it was evident that healthy eating was encouraged and consideration was given to personal and cultural preferences. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 Personal and Healthcare Support The intended outcomes for Standards 18 - 21 are: 18. 19. 20. 21. Service users receive personal support in the way they prefer and require. Service users’ physical and emotional health needs are met. Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 18, 19,20 Residents received personal and emotional support in a way that they considered reliable and responsive to their needs. Their health care needs were assessed and recognised. Action had been taken, but not yet all completed, to comply with previous requirements regarding medications. EVIDENCE: Residents and the deputy confirmed that same sex care would be made available, if preferred or appropriate. Residents were satisfied with the way staff respected their privacy and supported them with personal care tasks. Files and staff confirmed that residents were registered with a local general practitioner (GP) and were encouraged to go for dental, eye and other health checks as necessary. Staff at the home worked with the multi-disciplinary team involved in each resident’s care. Residents spoke of the specialist help received, The deputy discussed progress made in complying with previous requirements on the area of medications. This had been considered overall satisfactory at the previous inspection, subject to the home addressing some identified issues. Those regarding staff training and additions to the medication policy were still to be completed and a new time scale was agreed with the deputy. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23. Service users feel their views are listened to and acted on. Service users are protected from abuse, neglect and self-harm. The Commission considers Standards 22, and 23 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 22,23 Residents felt safe at the home and able to speak to staff, so that they could feel confident that their views would be taken seriously. Management was aware that the complaints’ procedure had not been used much, but was taking action to support residents in expressing their views and eliciting their comments. EVIDENCE: Residents said that they felt safe at the home and able to complain. From direct observation, there was evidence that residents interacted easily with staff. There was a variety of ways to encourage comments from residents, including monthly visits from the provider and one resident said that their views were sought. The home had an adult protection procedure, including whistle blowing. The deputy confirmed that staff had been attending training in prevention of abuse, organised by Lewisham social services. He also said that the manager had given a copy of the home’s procedure on adult protection to all placing authorities and invited their comments. The deputy said that the recommendation regarding access to internet and electronic mail was being considered by the directors. The deputy considered that the residents were protected. However, it was not possible to discuss with the manager her appraisal of the current situation, on this occasion. Because of this and because of a still to be resolved incident between two residents, which was the subject of an adult 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 protection investigation, the standard of almost met, as given at the previous inspection, remains. (Standard 39 has some bearing on this area also). It was positive that management had responded promptly when the need was identified for additional staffing, to help prevent harm to individual residents or to minimise potential risks to others in the home. Inspection of one file and discussion with the deputy gave evidence that the procedure put in place to manage a specific behaviour, to protect another resident, had been agreed with the placing authority of the residents involved and a review date had been set. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 Environment The intended outcomes for Standards 24 – 30 are: 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. Service users live in a homely, comfortable and safe environment. Service users’ bedrooms suit their needs and lifestyles. Service users’ bedrooms promote their independence. Service users’ toilets and bathrooms provide sufficient privacy and meet their individual needs. Shared spaces complement and supplement service users’ individual rooms. Service users have the specialist equipment they require to maximise their independence. The home is clean and hygienic. The Commission considers Standards 24, and 30 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 24,25,26,27,28,30 Residents lived in a home that they found comfortable and where they could personalise their space. A lot of work had been done to render the premises more suitable to residents’ changing needs. Attempts had been made to embellish the environment to create a homely feel. EVIDENCE: 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 The resident who conducted the tour of the house showed evident satisfaction with her room and with the premises. Both she and another resident, who had more recently come to live there, said that the facilities met their needs. Both rooms had been personalised and decorated according to their occupants’ choice. The premises were generally bright, clean and spacious. The building extension work, which had protracted for over one year, had been completed. The extension had increased the number of bedrooms to eleven (all single rooms); three of these with en-suite facilities, while part of the premises had been made suitable for people using wheelchairs. The home had a range of communal space available for the service users. These included a large garden, sitting room, a leisure room with computer and seating and dining room. The main kitchen was to be refurbished. However, some remedial work had been carried out and the latest environmental health report assessed the kitchen as satisfactory. An additional, smaller, kitchen had been installed. There was a policy in place to control the spread of infection. The laundry was located separately from the kitchen and washing and drying machines had the necessary wash cycles to ensure that hygiene could be maintained. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 Staffing The intended outcomes for Standards 31 – 36 are: 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. Service users benefit from clarity of staff roles and responsibilities. Service users are supported by competent and qualified staff. Service users are supported by an effective staff team. Service users are supported and protected by the home’s recruitment policy and practices. Service users’ individual and joint needs are met by appropriately trained staff. Service users benefit from well supported and supervised staff. The Commission considers Standards 35 the key standard to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) none (A judgement could not be made as no outcomes were inspected, although there were previous requirements that are re-stated) EVIDENCE: The requirements from the previous inspection are restated, with a new time scale, as it could not be ascertained, in the absence of the manager, whether they had been complied with or not. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 Conduct and Management of the Home The intended outcomes for Standards 37 – 43 are: 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. Service users benefit from a well run home. Service users benefit from the ethos, leadership and management approach of the home. Service users are confident their views underpin all self-monitoring, review and development by the home. Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s policies and procedures. 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 are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 37,38,39 Management continued to take steps to ensure that residents would benefit from a well run home, so that residents and staff would feel valued and included in all aspects of its conduct. EVIDENCE: 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 20 Residents and staff were positive about the managent of the home, that was considered to be suppotive, committed to equality and trying to convey a clear ethos of valuing residents’ individuality. The deputy confirmed that the provider and manager were strengthening or consolidating quality assurance systems. This could not be fully followed up on this occasion, as the manager was not there. The previous requirement therefore continues, although there was evidence that some action had been taken. The manager had been assessed as suitable for the position by the provider and the registration authority. She had been taking steps to comply with the requirement for managers to be appropriately qualified, to level 4 NVQ (or equivalent), in care and management by 2005. 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 21 SCORING OF OUTCOMES This page summarises the assessment of the extent to which the National Minimum Standards for Care Homes for Adults 18-65 have been met and uses the following scale.

RECOMMENDATIONS These recommendations relate to National Minimum Standards and are seen as good practice for the Registered Provider/s to consider carrying out. No. 1. Refer to Standard 1 Good Practice Recommendations That when the statement of purpose is next updated, it incorporates the provider’s assessment of the expertise and qualifications he considers the staff team should have, to meet the needs of the service users. This should then be consistent with the recruitment and training plan for the home and associated policies. That the contracts between the home and service users are discussed with the service user, their advocates and the home’s legal consultant. This would be to ensure that contracts include all the necessary information, that they legally protect service users’ rights, that they clearly state the respective rights and responsibilities of the user and the provider. That the key worker sessions be structured and fully recorded. That the home reviews its confidentiality policy. In relation to staff working at the home, that the policy includes who would have access to what, on a need to know basis. That the home issues a statement on confidentiality to its partner agencies, setting out the principles governing the sharing of information. That the provider arranges internet access and electronic mail facilities. (This would be to enable staff to more easily access the relevant extracts of the placing authorities’ adult protection procedures and facilitate fast and recorded communication). That, as part of the recruitment procedure for staff, when photocopies are made of original documents, a note is made in the staff file that the original was seen. That the provider produces a business plan for the home. 2. 5 3. 4. 5. 6. 8 10 10 23 7. 8. 9. 34 43 22a Bromley Road G52-G02 S25612 22BromleyRoad V232632 200505 stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 25 Commission for Social Care Inspection 46 Loman Street London SE1 0EH National Enquiry Line: 0845 015 0120 Email: enquiries@csci.gsi.gov.uk Web: www.csci.org.uk © This report is copyright Commission for Social Care Inspection (CSCI) and may only be used in its entirety.
