What the care home does well

The home provides excellent accommodation and facilities for the residents. Accommodation is provided in a number of buildings. Each have rooms, such as lounges, dining areas, kitchen and bathrooms, which can be used by the residents. A number of aids and adaptations are provided within the home to help staff give the care and support needed as well as helping people to move around the home freely. Regular work is carried out within the home and new furniture has been bought, making the home looked well cared for. Residents also have use of the on site swimming pool, gym, music room, sensory room, massage as well as other day time activities and group sessions, providing time to learn new skills and mix with other residents. A group of residents had recently enjoyed a holiday to Tenerife. Residents said they had `really enjoyed it` and `had a fabulous time` on the holiday and some of the activities they had done. A small group also left for a holiday to Brookvale`s holiday home in Wales. During the visit service users were very happy to chat and seemed happy and relaxed.

What has improved since the last inspection?

A number of residents have now moved into the new building, Atrium, moving from shared rooms within the main building. Ceiling tracking hoists and assisted baths have been provided so that full support can be given to those residents who have greater levels of need. A safer system has been put in place when giving out medication. A lockable trolley is being used when carrying medication around the home. Training for new staff has been put into place and looks at the needs of people with a learning disability. Staff are also having support sessions with senior staff, giving them help and support in carrying out their work properly. Checks needed on new staff have been carried out making sure that residents are protected.

What the care home could do better:

The staff rota needs to be changed. Information needs to include staff names, hours worked and if this is within the adult or children`s service, so it is easy to see which staff are on duty at any time. Risk assessments still need to be done for service users who have higher needs. This includes using the wheelchairs, hoists and challenging behaviour. The home is to ask for support from an appropriately qualified person to help in completing the assessments. More training needs to be planned for some staff. This includes 1st aid and adult abuse. Other courses about the different needs of the residents are also to be looked into. Certificates are to be put in each of the staff files to show what they have done.

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) None EVIDENCE: The key standards will be addressed at the next inspection. BROOKVALE F56 F06 S8451 Brookvale V212699 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 9 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) 7 to 10 Care plans are in place for each of the residents. Residents are involved in the assessment and reviewing process so plans reflect their own needs and wants. Risk assessments need to be developed. Specifically for those service users with limited on no mobility or display specific behaviours, ensuring safe practices are followed when providing the care and support required. EVIDENCE: Individuals are assessed prior to moving into the home. Information is gathered from the residents, where possible, as well as from other relevant parties with regards to their preferred choice of activities and interests. This includes the development of a structured weekly programme of activities based on their capabilities and interests. Residents are also involved in the reviewing of plans and their changing needs. Some individuals who choose not to take part in some of the more structured activities are able to follow different interests, whilst other have small jobs assisting staff within the home. BROOKVALE F56 F06 S8451 Brookvale V212699 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 Plans are held within the day centre office and are reviewed formally each year, or more frequently if needs change. Information regarding service users including care plans continue to be held securely, whilst being accessible to staff. Copies of all care plans are also kept in each of the resident’s bedrooms. Action previously identified has in the main been addressed. One resident who has been attending full-time education spends little time during the day at the home. Information held in her file reflected the daytime structure and supports needs whilst at school and did not include details of the staff support required during the evenings and weekends. This information still needs to be up dated to include the support needs and routine when at home. Risk assessments should also be developed with regards to personal care support and epilepsy. Risk assessments still need to be developed, particularly in relation to moving and handling and challenging behaviour. Moving and handling assessment should be undertaken with the advice and support of an Occupational Therapist who can assess individual needs appropriately. Other professional advice could be sought with regards to behaviours. The assessments should give clear instruction to the staff members and indicate were this might infringe on resident’s rights in terms of their physical liberty to maintain safety. Systems are in place for recording and passing information between the team during shift changes. However the use of ‘wipe boards’ were still being used, detailing information regarding the residents. This practice should stop. Information relevant to individual residents should be recorded within the handover diaries and not openly displayed for others to read, ensuring confidentiality. The day services manager produces a weekly report for the Registered Manager ensuring she is fully informed of the events from that week, any queries or issues that need her attention. These had been found to be very effective in addressing any issues. Feedback received found that communication had improved between staff and managers within the home, identified staff had been given specific responsibilities and roles were more clearly defined assisting with the smooth running of the home. Although resident’s finances were not inspected, the Registered Manager continues to be the appointee for the majority of residents. Records are said to be made of all transactions. Information continues to be shared within the residents meetings that are held. Contact details of the ‘Care Aware’ helpline are made available to residents.

BROOKVALE F56 F06 S8451 Brookvale V212699 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 The home is to hold an ‘Olympics Day’ again during the summer. This was first held last year and involved both staff and residents taking part in sports activities. The event had been a success and enjoyed by all those who took part. The home has a reviewing officer who is involved in speaking with residents and gathering information about individual hobbies and interests. A number of the more independent residents have a ‘job’ within the home. These include working in the kitchen or helping the maintenance staff. Previously several individuals were involved with a supported employment placements. These had been positive experiences and enjoyed by those involved. It is suggested that a local supported employment agency ‘BEST’ is contacted for advice when reviewing the daily routines and structure, offering further opportunities for residents to develop independent living skills as well as developing new relationships/friendships. Those residents who live at Heywood Road were said to enjoy accessing the local shops independently making small purchases as well as travelling to the local town centre. Each of the residents have a bus pass. The home also has several vehicles, which are available to the residents for both appointments as well as accessing the community. A small group were taking one of the vehicles to Wales for a short break at the home’s holiday home. Another group have recently returned from a holiday in Tenerife.

BROOKVALE F56 F06 S8451 Brookvale V212699 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 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 and 23 Satisfactory arrangements are in place in relation to the protection of residents as well as responding to their concerns. Polices are in place outlining the appropriate response for allegations of abuse however some staff still require training in this area ensuring that residents are protected.

EVIDENCE: Private accommodation is provided in 5 separate buildings, however daytime activities are provided within the main building and are attended by each of the residents. Day cover is concentrated within the main lounge areas and day care rooms where service users can be found throughout the day. Night cover is then dispersed across the main part of Brookvale (North and West View), South View Cottages, Heywood Road and the Atrium to private areas where residents sleep. The rota’s evidenced sufficient staff however these need to be developed records clearly demonstrate where staff are working within the home or if they are supporting the children’s service. Records of shifts should be clearly recorded detailing staff full names, hours worked and unit, accurately reflecting BROOKVALE F56 F06 S8451 Brookvale V212699 230505 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 the number of staff on duty at any time who are available to meet the needs of the residents. Where agency cover is needed, the home has utilised a local employment agency, staff known to the home are requested. The home has a policy and procedure in place with regards to Recruitment and Selection. Information includes all relevant employment and Criminal Record Checks ensuring the safety and protection of residents. Clarification of documents for the new overseas staff had been followed up.

Previous training needs identified have yet to be implemented, these include epilepsy, diet and incontinence care. Evidence of training is to be collated and placed on staff personnel files. Further training is still needed in relation to 1st aid. Appropriate courses are being sought. The home has recently accessed an Induction and Foundation programme from a reputable training company, ‘Bild’, for people with learning disabilities. which complies with the TOPSS specification. Information includes; starting work with people with learning disabilities, positive communication, understanding abuse and foundations in care. A previous discussion was held with the training manager in relation to his role. As the training manager is responsible for arranging all relevant training for the staff it is felt that he should be receive good quality training to ensure that he is able to carry out his role and responsibilities fully. Through discussion with the training manager the inspectors were informed that the process of supervision has been reviewed. Due to the number of staff needing management support arrangements have been made were some responsibilities have been delegated to senior members of the team. The training manager will then supervise the senior staff. This was felt to be a more practical way of conducting the supervision sessions ensuring staff receive the right support and assistance. A supervision programme has been developed. Sessions are carried out by senior care staff, who in turn are supervised by the training manager. Sessions are planned in the diary, information is recorded and held within staff files. Staff facilitating supervision have all recently undertaken a two-day training course in this area. Feedback from the management team was positive about the delegation of responsibilities and open communication between the team. Individuals felt things were ‘more balanced and better informed’.
