What the care home does well

One of the owner`s of the home has a lot of mental health experience and is involved in assessing the needs of people before they come to live at the home. Most people living at the home have very busy lifestyles and support workers promote independence and encourage people to be involved in household activities. There was a very good rapport between the people living at the home and the support worker. The support worker knew a lot about the people, how they liked to be looked after and what they liked to do. There was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The home was comfortable and homely and did not look like a care home. The home is an active member of a local training initiative that provides the staff team with relevant and up to date training they need to help enable them to support people living at the home, effectively and safely.

What has improved since the last inspection?

The owners have undertaken some work at the home to ensure that good standards are maintained. Medication practices have improved and these will help to protect people`s health. The manager is now registered with us to ensure that she is fit to run the home.

What the care home could do better:

Staffing levels need to be kept under constant review to ensure that there are enough support workers available to meet each individuals needs and preferences. The planned training for the manager and the staff team must be undertaken to ensure they know what to do and support people in a safe way for example medication training.

The visit took place over five hours. We looked around the home and at a number of records. To get more information we spoke with all the people living at the home, the owner and a support worker and had lunch with everyone. We requested information from the service before our visit, which was returned to us. This is called the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) and tells us what the home feels that it does well and what needs to be done to improve the service. We received surveys from five people using the service and four from support workers. The responses we received were generally positive about the service.

They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them, what they hope for and want to achieve, and the support they need. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, and people close to them, can visit the home and get full, clear, accurate and up to date information. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between the person and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Before a person moves into the home their needs are assessed so that all concerned can decide whether the home will be suitable for them. Evidence: At our last visit to the home we raised concerns about the staff teams ability to meet the changing needs of a number of people living at the home in an effective and safe way. Since that time two people have moved to different types of services who are better able to meet their needs. One person has moved into the home. They had an up to date community psychiatric assessment and an assessment was also undertaken by the homes owner, who is an experienced former senior psychiatric nurse, before the person moved in. Consideration was given at the time of the assessment to the needs of the people already living at the home and who have done so for many years and the fact that for most of the time there is only one support worker available. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 10 of 26 Evidence: The new person had settled quickly gets on well with the other people who live there. They said, I am very happy here. Another person was considering moving into the home. Plans were in place for this person to visit the home before they reached a decision to move in. The owner said that there were no issues at the home and the support worker spoken with confirmed this. Support workers attended a Basic Understanding of Mental Illness course in May 2008. This training was held at the home with an external trainer. This training will help to give the staff team a better understanding of peoples needs. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 11 of 26 Individual needs and choices These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s needs and goals are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. People are able to make decisions about their life, including their finances, with support if they need it. This is because the staff promote their rights and choices. People are supported to take risks to enable them to stay independent. This is because the staff have appropriate information on which to base decisions. People are asked about, and are involved in, all aspects of life in the home. This is because the manager and staff offer them opportunities to participate in the day to day running of the home and enable them to influence key decisions. People are confident that the home handles information about them appropriately. This is because the home has clear policies and procedures that staff follow. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People have support plans and risk assessments in place and are able to make decisions about their lives and receive support when they need it. Evidence: Two peoples care files were examined. Each contained a basic care plan, which included details about their mental health, physical health, medication, personal hygiene, daily living skills, activities and aspirations. The registered manager has received person centred planning training through the local training partnership. Individual daily notes were kept that show what people had been doing. Risk assessments were in place for people and they had been reviewed regularly to check that peoples needs had not changed. The support worker spoken with had a very good understanding of peoples needs, likes and dislikes. She had a strong value base and understood the importance of promoting independence, choice, fulfilment, dignity and rights. She was seen to Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 12 of 26 Evidence: actively encourage people to be as independent as possible and offering choice at any given opportunity. It was clear from observation that people living at the home decided what they wanted to do each day and some led very independent lifestyles. In a returned survey a support worker stated that they, Supported people to make their own decisions and to be as independent as possible. Some people because of presenting risks needed one to one support to be involved in individual activities outside the home. The support worker confirmed that extra staff time was always made available if people had appointments to attend or a social event planned. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 13 of 26 Lifestyle These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: Each person is treated as an individual and the care home is responsive to his or her race, culture, religion, age, disability, gender and sexual orientation. They can take part in activities that are appropriate to their age and culture and are part of their local community. The care home supports people to follow personal interests and activities. People are able to keep in touch with family, friends and representatives and the home supports them to have appropriate personal, family and sexual relationships. People are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. Their dignity and rights are respected in their daily life. People have healthy, well-presented meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. People have opportunities to develop their social, emotional, communication and independent living skills. This is because the staff support their personal development. People choose and participate in suitable leisure activities. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Involvement in activities is promoted and enables people to have access to local community facilities and keep in contact with their families and friends. Evidence: Some people living at the home have very busy lifestyles, which gives them the opportunity for personal development. As well as getting out and about meeting relatives and friends, several people attend college courses and one person goes to a music group at a local drop in centre. One person attends church on a regular basis with a neighbour. People were seen to be involved in household tasks around the house. The support worker said that people had become more involved in household activities and the staff team worked together to promote independence. Most people were at home during our visit as it was a very cold and frosty day and icy Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 14 of 26 Evidence: under foot. One person was encouraged not to go out as he was at risk of falling and he decided to go back to bed for a while. Two people went out shopping and on a bus ride. Inside people watched television, videos and DVDs, or listened to music. The group appeared to get on well and chatted to each other in the lounge. One person enjoys using computers and has individual access to the Internet. The group occasionally go out together for meals. There had also been recent trips out to Blackpool and to the bowling alley. One person had been on a Mediterranean cruise with a support worker. Birthdays are celebrated. It was noted in the returned surveys from two people that they ticked that activites were only available, sometimes. Relationships with friends and family are encouraged. During our visit a relative of one person called at the home to deliver a Christmas present for them. There is a close relationship between two people living at the home. Friends were able to visit the home. Some people choose to spend time in their bedrooms while others preferred the lounges. All bedrooms have locks but not everyone has keys. We have been told previously that this was through personal choice. Mealtime arrangements are flexible. The home does not have a fixed menu, but details of what meals people have had are recorded. People have a choice of cereals and toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and the main meal is served in the evening. The majority of the food is home cooked. Meals are decided by consensus on a daily basis. People spoken with expressed satisfaction with the quantity, quality and choice of food available. On the day of our visit people decided that they wanted a chippy lunch and the support worker went to the local shop to get them. Everyone enjoyed them. One person was seen peeling the potatoes for the main evening meal. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 15 of 26 Personal and healthcare support These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People receive personal support from staff in the way they prefer and want. Their physical and emotional health needs are met because the home has procedures in place that staff follow. If people take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it in a safe way. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them to feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People have access to healthcare support and medication practices have improved to protect people from harm. Evidence: People are encouraged to be as independent as possible and manage their own personal care needs with prompts or minimal assistance from support workers. The relationship between the support worker and people living at the home was seen to be very good. Interactions were very frequent, warm, caring and friendly. The support worker was seen to treat people with respect and demonstrated that they had a good understanding of their likes, dislikes and preferred routines. Peoples health care needs appeared to be properly supported. Everyone had a GP and a dentist. An optician and a chiropodist visit the home regularly. A record of all health care appointments is maintained. People are provided with support to attend healthcare appointments if they need it. We looked at peoples medication. A medicines policy provides written guidance for Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 16 of 26 Evidence: staff. People wishing to self administer their own medicines are supported to do so but most medicines were administered by the staff team. The home had a dossette medication system in place that was supplied by a local pharmacist. We saw that records for the administration of medication were complete and up to date. We were informed that some staff have not yet received medication training and that this was planned for the new year. This training must be undertaken to help ensure the safe handling of medication. A requirement has been made as part of mandatory health and safety training in the staffing section of this report. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 17 of 26 Concerns, complaints and protection These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: If people have concerns with their care, they or people close to them, know how to complain. Their concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse, neglect and self-harm and takes action to follow up any allegations. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People know who they can talk to if they are not happy and the staff team had received the training they need to ensure they know what action they must take in the event of an allegation of abuse. Evidence: No complaints have been made about the service either directly to us or to the home. In the returned surveys we received people confirmed that they knew who to speak to if they were not happy and that staff were always available to talk with. No issues of concern were raised during our discussions with people who live at the home. One person in a returned survey stated that they had, No complaints and no worries. Another stated that, The staff here are excellent and I am always listened too. No allegations of abuse have been made to CSCI. A copy of the new local authority safeguarding procedures was available for the staff team to read and use. All the staff team have received training in safeguarding awareness. The registered manager has attended the two day Safeguarding Adults Investigating Officers course. Training has been provided through Bury Adult Care Training Partnership on the new policy and procedure. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 18 of 26 Environment These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People stay in a safe and well-maintained home that is homely, clean, comfortable, pleasant and hygienic. People stay in a home that has enough space and facilities for them to lead the life they choose and to meet their needs. The home makes sure they have the right specialist equipment that encourages and promotes their independence. Their room feels like their own, it is comfortable and they feel safe when they use it. People have enough privacy when using toilets and bathrooms. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home is comfortable and homely with ongoing effort being made to ensure that good standards are maintained. Evidence: The Brandles was seen to be comfortable and homely. There was a good standard of decoration and furnishings, which were domestic in style. People living at the home have the use of a small dining area, a kitchen, two adjoining lounges, a small smoking area and two bathrooms. We looked at a number of bedrooms, which were personalised to individual tastes. Two people in returned surveys commented that they liked their bedrooms. The lounges had recently been decorated. Workmen were in the home fitting new lights to the bathrooms. There were gardens to the front and rear, with a paved patio area. Work has been undertaken over the past year to tidy up the back garden and new fencing has been erected to good effect. There is a pleasant and relaxing view to the rear of the property. The home was clean and tidy. Paper towels and liquid soap had been placed in communal bathrooms to reduce the opportunity for cross infection. One person commented in a returned survey that the home was always Spic and spam. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 19 of 26 Staffing These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have safe and appropriate support as there are enough competent, qualified staff on duty at all times. They have confidence in the staff at the home because checks have been done to make sure that they are suitable. People’s needs are met and they are supported because staff get the right training, supervision and support they need from their managers. People are supported by an effective staff team who understand and do what is expected of them. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Some members of the staff team need to undertake training to enable them to support people effectively and safely. Evidence: People living at the home said staff looked after them well. There have been a number of changes within the staff team since our last visit. Written duty rosters are kept and were examined. There is usually only one member of staff on duty at any one time and that person is also responsible for cooking and cleaning. The current staff team consists of the registered manager and four carers, with another carer due to start in the near future. No agency staff were being used. There were two support workers on duty when we arrived at the home as one person had been to an appointment. We were informed that if there was a social event planned or a person had an appointment then extra staffing would be provided. We have previously had concerns about staffing arrangements at the home. It is recommended that the registered manager of the home keeps staffing levels under review. This needs to be done to ensure that there are enough support workers available to meet peoples individual needs and preferences, particularly for those people who need one to one support to take part in activities outside the home. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 20 of 26 Evidence: A new support worker in a returned survey commented that they had received two induction sessions and appropriate training before they started. They also said that they worked well together as a team. All the outgoing members of staff held a National Vocational Qualification Level 2 in Care award. Of the new members of staff one person was near to completing NVQ Level 2 and intends to start NVQ Level 3. We were informed that it was planned that the new members of staff will enrol on NVQ Level 2 in the New Year. This needs to be done to ensure that people have access to a suitably qualified team and meet the national minimum standard. Recruitment files were securely held and could not be checked as the manager was not on duty at the time of our visit. To ensure that confidentiality is maintained she was the only person who had access to this information. The owner confirmed that criminal record checks were obtained before a person commenced employment and this was now done by an umbrella body. The owner also said that people living at the home were now involved in the recruitment of support workers. People spent time with prospective support workers and gave their opinions and views about them during the selection process. Their views were considered when making a decision about who to appoint. The last two support workers appointed were done so in this way and people confirmed that they had made the Right choice. The home is a partner member of the local authority Adult Care Training Partnership. Training information could not be accessed at the time of our visit. Information received later from the owner shows that new support workers had received most of the mandatory health and safety training but a number of shortfalls were identified for example medication training. Plans are in place to address these shortfalls through the training partnership. Staff meetings take place on a regular basis and a record is maintained. Staff appraisals and individual formal supervision meetings could not be checked as they could not be accessed at the time of our visit. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 21 of 26 Conduct and management of the home These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People have confidence in the care home because it is run and managed appropriately. People’s opinions are central to how the home develops and reviews their practice, as the home has appropriate ways of making sure they continue to get things right. The environment is safe for people and staff because health and safety practices are carried out. People get the right support from the care home because the manager runs it appropriately, with an open approach that makes them feel valued and respected. They are safeguarded because the home follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and makes sure staff understand the way things should be done. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home now has a registered manager and is closely monitored by the owners to ensure that it is being run in the best interests of the people who live there. Evidence: The home now has a manager who registered with us in July 2008. The manager has worked at the home for many years and holds the Registered Managers Award. As part of the fit person process it was agreed that the registered manager would also complete NVQ Level 4 in Care to further her knowledge. We were informed by the homes owner at this visit that the training was still in the process of being organised. It is strongly recommended that this training is undertaken. The owner needs to let us know when the training has been completed. The staff training matrix shows that the registered manager had undertaken recent training in the basic understanding of mental illness, common induction standards and person centred care to ensure her continued professional development. The registered manager was on leave at the time of our visit. Care Homes for Adults (18-65 years) Page 22 of 26 Evidence: The owner had not received a copy of the new certificate for the home issued after the managers approval to become registered. He must write formally to us to explain the situation so that a new certificate can be issued. The owner is a very experienced former mental health nurse manager, who visits the home regularly. During our visit he called at the home to give people Christmas cards. He knows the people who live at the home very well. He undertakes monthly unannounced visits to the home and produces a report as required by the law. Resident and staff meetings are held regularly. People living at the home and other stakeholders complete annual satisfaction surveys. We checked the maintenance records for the gas, electrical and fire equipment at the home. All were found to be valid. Regular maintenance checks help to promote the health and safety of people living at the home.
