JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 27 Service users needs appeared well met by the numbers and skill mix of staff at the time of the inspection. Comments from some relatives/visitors following the inspection however confirmed their opinion that staffing levels were not always adequate and recommendation made for review. Staff were observed to be enthusiastic and committed to good quality care provision. They also demonstrated good understanding of service users needs. EVIDENCE: At the time of the inspection it was concluded that staffing levels were adequate based on the information available at that time. Service users stated that they felt there was enough staff on duty on each shift from their perspective. Information from visitors/ relatives on the day of the inspection did not indicate staffing shortfalls. The morning shift consists of at least 2 RGNs (One for each section) and 10 to 12 care staff, bringing the total of staff on duty to a minimum of 12. The afternoon shift consists of 2 RGNs and 8 care staff and night staff consists of 2 RGNs and 6 care staff. The home occasionally The Bradbury Centre DS0000017595.V267191.R01.S.doc Version 5.0 Page 18 used regular agency staff to cover shifts, usually due to sickness. An observation in a comment card from a visitor received after the inspection however made the point that staffing levels had not changed in response to a higher proportion of service users being of high dependency. A further two comments received also expressed the view that staffing levels were not in their opinion adequate, particularly at weekends. It was stated by one visitor that staff were at times under pressure through staff absences, though emphasised by this person that this did not impact on standards of care. Comments about staff from visitors were without exception very positive. One visitor said “ staff are really attentive and know all the residents so well, it is a warm and friendly environment, providing excellent care”. The home had a large ancillary staff team consisting of a receptionist, deputy manager/bursar, laundry assistant, kitchen staff and housekeeper. At the time of the inspection interviews were planned to fill the vacancy for a maintenance person following the retirement of the former post holder. Service users benefited from the involvement of a group of volunteers who were members of the Friends of Bradbury Centre. They tirelessly gave their time enabling service users to go out, befriending individuals and were pro-active in fundraising activities. Relationships between staff and service users were evidently very positive based on observations of interaction and feedback from service users and relatives/visitors.
