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 provides good information about the service to potential new clients and their representatives so that they can make an informed choice to use the service. One client said `I went on the waiting list to come here because it looked so good`. They also said that they felt their treatment had been very good because `you get out what you put in` The service carries out thorough assessments for all potential clients before admission and this helps to ensure that all the clients needs can be met and that the likelihood of successful completion of the treatment programme is good. The delivery of resident`s care and treatment is supported by the homes care planning and individual client risk assessments. In addition to the assessment of needs the unit now uses risk assessment effectively so that a judgement can be made on whether the unit can meet a potential clients individual risk issues. The unit has stated clearly the restrictions that must be agreed to by potential new clients and these are signed for before admission in a contract of terms and conditions. This includes the grounds on which the treatment programme might be ended. However despite the restrictions necessary for a successful treatment programme the clients` quality of life is good and as much individual freedom as possible has been given. This has helped to maintain clients existing skills and independence. This respect for client`s rights combined with the treatment programme, and further development of groups, such as parenting skills, cooking and nutrition, enables the unit to successfully support clients to manage in the wider community after their treatment is complete. Clients are supported by the organisation`s resettlement officer at the completion of their treatment at the unit, and the organisation has also begun to offer after care outreach in Plymouth. The clients are provided with plenty of, varied, good food. The unit consults with the clients on the menu, takes into account preferences and is now working effectively to support clients with eating disorders. The clients benefit from homely, comfortable, clean and well maintained buildings that meet their needs. Client`s medication and any personal care needs are well met by the unit. Clients` needs are met by competent, qualified, properly vetted, and well trained staff. The standard of the training for the counsellors and support staff is very good. In group the existing clients said to the regulation inspector that the staff were excellent and very supportive. The management of the home is effective and the quality of the service continues to develop so that clients needs continue to be met successfully.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The one recommendation made at the last announced inspection in August 2004 to re develop the `Protection of Adults at Risk` policy has been carried out by the organisation. This new policy makes it clear how an allegation or disclosure of abuse at the unit would be managed. Over the past three years the unit has improved steadily to have now reached the point where the unit has received no score below `standard met` and has been awarded an `above the standard` score for six standards during this inspection.

What the care home could do better:

The unit and organisation have plans for further developments to the service to build on the already high quality of the service provided.

Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was announced. Preparation for the inspection included analysis of the pre inspection questionnaire, the previous inspection report and contact with the home over the last 12 months. An inspection plan was developed from this information. The inspector was in the home from 9.45am to 2.30pm. The inspector spent time with or spoke to all of the fourteen clients, with particular attention being given to two clients whose care was looked at closely. The clients requested that they were all spoken to as a group although two clients also requested to be spoken with individually. The whole of the building was inspected. The registered manager, three counsellors, the senior support worker, the office administrator, the maintenance man and the cook were all spoken to during the inspection. The registered manager was spoken to at length. Client files including care planning, support worker notes, medication records, and health and safety records were inspected. What the service does well: The home provides good information about the service to potential new clients and their representatives so that they can make an informed choice to use the service. One client said ‘I went on the waiting list to come here because it looked so good’. They also said that they felt their treatment had been very good because ‘you get out what you put in’ The service carries out thorough assessments for all potential clients before admission and this helps to ensure that all the clients needs can be met and that the likelihood of successful completion of the treatment programme is good.

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 The home provides good information about the service to all potential new clients and their representatives. This enables potential clients to make an informed choice to use the service. The service assesses the potential clients needs before admission and recognises the needs that it can meet. These processes increase the likelihood of successful completion of the treatment programme. EVIDENCE: The service has updated the Service Users Guide with the latest additions to its service including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) for alleviating post traumatic stress, auricular acupuncture detoxification, parenting skills groups and management of eating disorders. The home carries out a thorough admission assessment process before admission is agreed, involving both consultation with the care manager and usually a meeting with the prospective service user. An assessment pack is jointly sent to both parties. A general risk assessment is carried out for all prospective service users. The pre admission process is of very good quality and the unit has exceeded standard 2. The clients usually make initial visits to the unit as part of the assessment process but assessments can be carried out by phone if necessary. A new contract between the home and the client has been developed which very clearly states all the restrictions agreed as part of treatment at Longreach. This document includes the grounds for ending the treatment programme before it is complete. All clients sign for these conditions at admission to the unit. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 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) 6,7,8,9 The delivery of client’s care and treatment is well supported by the homes care planning and individual client risk assessments. The clients quality of life is improved by receiving as much freedom and choice as possible within the necessary restrictions of the treatment programme. EVIDENCE: The unit operates both a general care plan and a treatment plan. This works well to identify all the areas of need and to direct both support workers and counsellors to address all the client’s needs. Risk assessments in place clearly showed that these identified risks had been acted upon. The unit has been particularly proactive in addressing mental health issues. Identified mental health issues were supported by contingency mental health planning from the purchasing authority area. Mental health risk assessments are reviewed as required by the counsellor group during the treatment programme. The active use of risk assessment to enable clients interests to be protected has exceeded the standard required by standard 9. Clients are also supported to manage their own daily routines and personal decision making within the restrictions of the treatment programme. In the latter stages of treatment active change is made to the treatment programme to give more time to the client to fill with learning activities and leisure as they feel will help their development. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 10 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 Clients have enough leisure activity to ensure a good quality of life while living at the home. Clients have considerable access to opportunities for personal development, which will help during and after the treatment programme. Clients receive plenty of, varied, good food. EVIDENCE: Throughout the inspection information both on the leisure activities and the personal development activities engaged in by the clients, was given by the clients, the registered manager, the staff team and was shown in records. The inspector was informed by the clients that the Broadreach minibus is now regularly available to the clients at Longreach one weekend in four and that there is a regular volunteer driver. Last weekend eight of the clients went, using this minibus, to Looe in Cornwall and enjoyed their day out of Plymouth. I was also told by two clients of a five-day yacht sail training group that they had been involved in during their stay, which they had enjoyed and which they felt had helped them to work together within a small group. The clients are given free bus passes for travel within Plymouth at arrival in the home. This helps them to access facilities and services in the city including Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 11 NA/AA sessions, the gym, and various workshops including computing at an activity centre. Within the home arts and crafts, yoga, aerobics, cooking and nutrition, and gardening sessions take place as well as the opportunity to look after the recently introduced chickens that have an extensive chicken run in the rear garden. Clients proudly showed off the chicken eggs gathered the morning of the inspection. The Broadreach group has developed a number of new support systems over the past months, which the clients at Longreach are actively using to assist their rehabilitation. A new Broadreach centre at Wyndam Square is providing parenting skills programmes and a crèche as well as outreach for clients following leaving treatment. Parenting skills sessions are being delivered to the clients weekly, supporting the clients skill development in this area. The combination of the treatment programme, which was praised by the clients throughout the inspection, and the opportunities for personal development made available to the clients, has exceeded the standard required by standard 11, skills development opportunities. Broadreach are also now working with a housing association to provide a number of sheltered flats in Plymouth which can sometimes be accessed by clients after leaving the Longreach treatment programme. This accommodation and outreach from Wyndham Square help in the transition to unsupported living in the community. When clients complete treatment at Longreach they are supported by a resettlement officer from the Broadreach organisation. Longreach continues to provide good quality food with good variety. There is regular consultation with clients taking into account clients preferences and special dietary needs, including eating disorders. The cook has now become qualified to teach basic food hygiene to the clients in support of their food preparation for the group at the unit. The cook also takes weekly cooking and nutrition groups which has improved the quality of client food provision to the group and supports clients development of, basic living skills and parenting skills. The home continues to be recognised as having exceeded the required standard for Standard 17, provision of food in the home. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 12 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) 18,20 The clients health is maintained by meeting clients personal care needs and by well managed administration of their medication. EVIDENCE: Clients at Longreach have minimal personal care needs. Should support be needed this is available from the counsellors and support workers. All the clients present in the home at the time of the inspection were seen. All personal care issues are being met. Self-administration of medication is restricted in the home. Only some inhalers are released into the care of clients based on risk assessment. The amounts of medication being prescribed to clients is maintained at a low level and it is a requirement of admission that all clients are assessed, and their medication reviewed, by a GP within six weeks of admission. Due to the limited quantity of medication and the independence of the clients the home does not operate a monitored dosage system of medication administration. The home does not ‘repot’, secondary dispense, any medication. During the inspection clients were seen coming to the office, and requesting their prescribed medication. The homes medication storage facility is appropriate for the homes needs and was clean and ordered. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) sheets were reviewed and were adequate. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 13 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 Complaints are properly managed by the home protecting the welfare of the residents. EVIDENCE: There is a good complaints procedure in place, which is clearly displayed in the home, and attached to the service users guide. Details of how to contact the CSCI locally are clearly stated in the procedure. The service users guide is given to all new clients entering the home. The Broadreach organisation has developed a new ‘protection of adults at risk’ policy, which clearly states how an allegation or disclosure of possible abuse would be managed. Awareness of abuse is a central part of counsellor’s clinical training and new support workers induction. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 14 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) 24,27,30 The clients benefit from homely, comfortable, clean and well maintained buildings that meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The buildings and gardens of the home were inspected and no repairs were noted. The quality of the living environment and the standard of decoration in the home is generally good. The home was clean and odour free. There has been considerable refurbishment of the communal lounges, the service users bedrooms and the hallways of the building during the past two years. In the communal lounges all the seating has been replaced and in the two main lounges the floors have been sanded and polished. In the bedrooms the wardrobes, chests of drawers and bedside cabinets have been replaced. Half of the bedroom carpets and some of the corridor area carpets have been replaced. Further refurbishment of bedrooms and hallways is planned to happen during the coming year. This refurbishment has helped considerably to give the building a more domestic atmosphere and a better quality of living environment for the clients. The availability of useable space in the bedrooms is adequate to meet the needs of the service users even almost all are double rooms. It is important to note that the service users are only in residence for approximately three to six Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 15 months. Personalisation of rooms is also limited because of the short stay nature of the service. However clients have made the rooms homely. All the double bedrooms have a mobile screen available for client privacy. None of the bedrooms have locks due to the needs of the treatment programme. Personal valuables can be secured using one of the individual lockers that are offered to all new clients at admission. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 16 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) 32,33,43,35,36 Resident’s needs are met by enough competent, qualified, properly vetted and trained staff. EVIDENCE: The homes record of the hours worked by staff was checked and this showed that there continues to be the staffing level which has been in place since 2002.The registered manager is happy that there are enough counsellors in post to provide a thorough treatment programme and enough support workers covering evenings, nights and weekends to meet the clients needs. There is a duty system operated by the homes counsellors to ensure that there is always counsellor support available in an emergency. Approximately half of the staff team are NVQ2 or above, qualified. A thorough training programme for NVQ qualification is run by the organisation to ensure that the level of qualification of the staff is maintained. The organisation has also been involved in the development of national drug and alcohol training for support staff and is keen to begin training in this area as soon as the DANOS qualification is available. However the existing induction delivered by the Broadreach organisation is thorough and gives a good set of basic skills to all new support staff. This training enables staff to successfully meet resident’s needs when they begin work with the organisation. Over the past year all staff have received, all of the mandatory basic training, as well as safe handling of medication, and fire awareness training. Additional training has been given to groups of staff during the past year including, Mental Health Awareness, Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 17 working with self harm, and child protection. Other examples of specialist courses followed included auricular acupuncture, supervision, advanced EMDR, and interventions for eating disorders. Longreach also supports a number of student placements including at present two student counsellors. Longreach has a commitment to training that exceeds the requirements of standard 35. The pre inspection questionnaire was written by the management of the home and stated the dates of return for all of the staff Criminal Records Bureau clearances. Personnel records and training records are available in the home for inspection as well as at the organisations head office. A programme of individual support worker supervision sessions is being carried out and supervision minutes were seen. Counsellors receive regular clinical supervision. This monitoring helps to ensure that the quality of staff practice delivered to the residents is maintained. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 18 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) 39,41,42 The management of the home is effective and continues to develop the quality of the service so that clients needs continue to be met. EVIDENCE: The registered manager, Wendy Van Der Niet, has been in post for the past three years. Good working relationships were seen between the counsellors. support staff, clients and the registered manager. These good relationships will promote better quality support for the clients. The organisation has an existing quality assurance system based upon questionnaires. Clients fill out these questionnaires when they are about to leave the unit, the information given is then analysed and returned to the registered manager as quarterly figures. This system is being redeveloped so that information is no longer delivered only as figures and is based on information from either a six month or one year period. The system is being changed because the figures supplied by the original system could be misleading. The unit and organisation does collect statistics on completion rates of the treatment programme. The records seen throughout the inspection were being adequately maintained. Longreach D52-D04 S3446 Longreach V223223 070605 Stage 4.doc Version 1.30 Page 19 Health and safety is generally well managed in the unit. The record of fire protection checks and fire awareness training is well maintained. The accident record is thorough and is well maintained. Checks have been carried out during the last year, as noted in the pre inspection questionnaire, including gas appliances, Legionella infection and electrical equipment.
