At the time of inspection, the home was undergoing a major refurbishment and there were only fourteen service users resident in one half of the home. Therefore this description only applies to half of the home as the other half is unoccupied and inaccessible to service users. The home is privately owned by Stoke Healthcare Ltd, which also owns other care homes in the South West of England. The fee levels start at £420 per week and vary depending on the individual needs of service users. Information about the home and copies of inspection reports can be obtained from the Manager, Christine Hanwell. The home was purchased by the present owners in March 2005. It consists of a large detached three-storey building, made up of two semi-detached houses, situated in its own grounds and close to Stoke village in Plymouth. It is within walking distance of local shops and amenities, central Plymouth is accessible by public transport, and the home has its own car. All sixteen bedrooms are single and located on each floor. Five of these have en suite showers and toilets. Bathing/showering and toilet facilities are available on each floor, close to the bedrooms and communal rooms. There are large lounge and dining rooms on the ground floor. Attached to the dining room is a conservatory, where service users may smoke if they wish to. The home has a call bell system installed in every room. The home is wheelchair accessible on the ground floor only. The home stands in large grounds that will be made accessible to all the service users. The home has parking inside the grounds and on street parking

This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key inspection consisted of an unannounced visit between 10.15am and 3.20pm on Friday, 15th December 2006. The Manager, Christine Hanwell, was present throughout. A tour of the premises took place and records/documents relating to the care of the service users, staff and the home were inspected. A pre-inspection questionnaire had been completed by the Manager, which contained information relevant to the inspection. Survey forms had been completed by seven service users, eight service users were spoken with at length and a further four service users were observed during the visit. Written feedback was received from one relative and two relatives were spoken with during the visit. Five staff members were spoken with during the visit. No feedback was received from social and health care professionals. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?
A new Manager has been in post for approximately five months and has introduced many new systems, policies and procedures into the home, to ensure that staff know what is expected of them to enhance the lives of service users. The management of the home has worked hard to develop and improve the detail contained in service users’ care plans and risk assessments, and these are regularly reviewed. Half of the home has been extensively renovated and refurbished. The décor, furnishings and fittings are of a very high standard and there are plenty of toilets and bathing/showering facilities. All the radiators have low temperature surfaces to reduce the risk of burning. All the hot water taps used by service
Priory Gate DS0000062825.V304165.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 users are fitted with thermostatic valves to reduce the temperature to a safe level to reduce the risk of scalding. Medication is stored safely in a designated room and staff have received training in the administration of medication. Staffing levels have been reviewed and increased and staff have time to support service users in valued activities, skills development programmes and leisure activities. All staff are expected to attend training including National Vocational Qualifications and training specifically related to working with service users with mental health needs. Staff files are now kept in the home and are available for inspection. A new quality assurance system has been introduced using feedback from service users and information obtained from service users’ meetings. What they could do better: Please contact the provider for advice of actions taken in response to this inspection.

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 5 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 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. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standards 2, 3 and 4 Quality in this outcome area is good. The home’s admissions procedure ensures that prospective service users and their relatives/representatives know that the home will meet their needs and aspirations. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The pre-admission assessment process ensures that the needs of prospective service users are identified. Service users and their relatives/representatives are welcome to visit the home prior to admission to meet other service users, staff and have a look around the home. There are also opportunities for prospective service users to have a meal or stay overnight should they wish to. Whilst the home does not usually accept emergency admissions, a recent service user was admitted without enough time to visit. In this case the Manager used a laptop computer to show this person photographs of the home and the allocated bedroom, thus helping the decision making process. Discussions with service users, relatives, staff and the Manager, as well as observation, show that staff are aware of the needs of the service users.

Visitors are encouraged and confirmed that they visit whenever they like. Observation showed that all the service users knew the visitors and enjoyed lively discussions with them. Educational opportunities are available if required. The home has access to a separate facility where service users can enjoy various arts and crafts and the artistic work produced adorns the walls of the home. The home employs a staff member with specific responsibility for co-ordinating and arranging various activities. The home owns a car to

Service users can be confident that personal support is provided in the way, and at the time, that they want and need. Health care needs are monitored and advice is sought when necessary. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Service user plans have been updated and developed to provide detailed information about personal, emotional and health care needs. Where service users have complex health needs, the management and staff team work hard at meeting those needs with support from local health care professionals.

One side of the building was completed in November 2006 and the service users were able to move in. The other side of the building is closed to service users until the renovation is finished. There are a few problems with the new building work but these are being addressed by the home’s management team. The part of the home that has been completed is spacious, comfortable, safe and clean with a very high standard of décor and furnishings. There is a call bell system throughout the building. The service users are delighted with the accommodation and say that it is a massive improvement. Service users’ art and craft work is evident in all the rooms and is beautifully displayed. One service user commented on new light fittings that are low down on the walls to light the landings and stairs at
Priory Gate DS0000062825.V304165.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 18 night as this has proved to be of great benefit when walking around at night because the main lights can be switched off. Service users confirmed that they are responsible for cleaning their own bedrooms if they wish to and the staff clean the communal areas. The communal rooms consist of a large lounge room and a smaller dining room that has a conservatory attached. The conservatory is the designated smoking room and this room was rather cold at the time of inspection. However the Manager confirmed that the heating issue is being addressed and will be improved. In the meantime there are freestanding electric heaters available should the service users choose to use them. Each service user has a large single bedroom with plenty of space for individual needs and lifestyles. Every bedroom is fitted with telephone and computer points as well as facilities to receive Sky television, which are excellent facilities. The bedrooms are located on every floor of the building. The two bedrooms on the 2nd floor have a lounge room and kitchenette area, as well as a shower and toilet for their own use. This half of the home can accommodate wheelchair users on the ground floor only. All the bedrooms contain wash hand basins and five of them have en suite showers and toilets. Bedrooms are individually furnished and contain many personal possessions, including small, caged pets. The Manager confirmed that service users will be able to choose the colour of their bedrooms in due course, but the new plaster work has to settle first. The bedrooms are all personalised by or for the service users, depending on their wishes. The type and quantity of furniture varies dependant on the wishes and needs of service users. Every bedroom has a lock on the door that can be locked from the inside by using a knob, and locked from the outside by using a key. The home keeps a master key to all the key locks so that they can be opened if an emergency should occur. The bathrooms and toilets are new and located close to bedrooms and communal rooms. Discussions with service users, as well as observation, showed that there are enough facilities to meet the needs of the service users and staff. All bathroom and toilet doors are fitted with locks that can be opened from the outside by staff in an emergency. The home has two level access shower rooms on the ground floor so that they can be used by people with mobility difficulties, however the floor of one of these is being relaid following a flood into the hallway. The building stands in its own large grounds, which will also be renovated in due course. Service users and the Manager confirmed that plans for the garden will be discussed and agreed, as service users have requested a vegetable patch and would like to keep some hens. At the time of inspection, the laundry was being fitted with suitable equipment. Whilst this is going on, the Manager said that laundry was being sent out to a local laundrette. Service users confirmed that this is acceptable to them. Priory Gate DS0000062825.V304165.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 19 The kitchen is newly refurbished and the Manager confirmed that, due to health and safety reasons, service users do not prepare or cook meals in this kitchen.

The Manager confirmed that verbal references, as well as written references, are always obtained and the information is recorded. One of the files contained only one written reference and the Manager confirmed that the second reference is being pursued. Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) checks are made for every new staff member and the Manager confirmed that new staff are never left unsupervised until all the checks and references are returned. The staff team is expected to participate in various training courses and all training and supervision meetings are documented in staff files. The staff members spoken with were confident that they receive enough training and supervision to enable them to do their jobs.

There is a Manager who has been in post for approximately five months and has several years experience of managing care homes and training care staff. She qualified as a registered nurse, specialising in mental health, in 1977, although her registration lapsed in 1999. She attained a level 5 National Vocational Qualification in Business Management in 1995. Discussion with the
Priory Gate DS0000062825.V304165.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 23 Manager confirmed that she is extremely knowledgeable, competent, committed and dedicated to providing the best care for the service users. The service users and staff who were spoken with confirmed that they were consulted and included in decisions regarding the running of the home. Written feedback from a relative said “I commend the manager, Christine, … for her quiet authority and understanding.” The home has a quality assurance system that focuses on service users’ views and obtains feedback from service users, relatives and professionals from health and social care services. Health and safety practices are satisfactory in that equipment is maintained in good working order and staff receive training in health and safety, fire safety, first aid, food hygiene, infection control and manual handling. Inspection of the fire logbook indicated that the required weekly and monthly tests/checks of the fire alarm system/equipment are carried out. All radiators have low temperature surfaces to reduce the risk of burning and the Manager confirmed that thermostatic valves to reduce the hot water temperature to a safe level are fitted to all hot water outlets accessible by service users. The Manager confirmed that restrictors are fitted to all windows above the ground floor and the windows inspected did have restrictors fitted. Pre-inspection documentation and discussions with the Manager confirmed that comprehensive safety checks have been carried out including gas appliances, electrical equipment and hoists. All accidents and incidents are documented at the time of the event. Hazardous substances are locked away and data sheets are available should there be a spillage. The home had a visit from the Environmental Regulation Service on 19th October 2006 to check food safety and no issues were raised.
