This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This inspection was unannounced and took place on 17th January 2007. Prior to the inspection the Commission had sent surveys to all the residents’ relatives and the staff to enable them to comment directly and anonymously about their experiences and the quality of the services provided at Thornbury Villa. All of those returned commented very favourably: comments such as “Thornbury Villa is a well run care home providing excellent care”, “each resident is treated as a valued individual” and “the staff are really wonderful” were received from relatives, and from staff, “the home is run in such a way that staff residents and visitors are all working together” and “never would anybody find a more supportive, caring and progressive employer or care provider”. The inspector made a tour of the building, spoke to 8 residents and one visitor as well as the staff on duty; reviewed in detail the care plans of 3 residents and 2 care staff personnel files and reviewed the medication storage and records as well the documents relating to the home’s quality assurance and consultation processes. Mr and Mrs Van Deijl, the homeowners, were available and they and their staff team assisted the inspector throughout the inspection. What the service does well:
Thornbury Villa provides a friendly personal service in a comfortable, homely environment. Mr and Mrs Van Deijl lead the staff team in promoting a warm, caring atmosphere where the residents feel relaxed and at home and are encouraged to make decisions about their daily routines. Good information is passed to anyone who may consider moving to the home and a thorough assessment is completed prior to admission to ensure that needs can be met. The care manager regularly reviews the care needs and care plans of residents and clear information is documented regarding general and complex healthcare needs. Living rooms are comfortably furnished and set out in a style that encourages conversation and socialising. Arrangements are made for entertainment and social opportunities in the home and residents are given the choice if they wish to partake. Family and friends are welcomed by staff and can visit at any time. The homes complaints procedures and service users questionnaires ensure that all concerns are listened to and addressed.

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Prospective residents are provided with sufficient information to help them make an informed choice about where they live. The homes’ admission process ensures that residents are properly assessed prior to moving in to ensure that their needs can be sufficiently met. EVIDENCE: The home provides prospective residents with sufficient written information regarding the home and the services provided to assist them the make an informed decision about the suitability of Thornbury Villa. One newly admitted resident described how welcome she had been made by the staff and owners when she had visited the home prior to her admission. She said “I had no need to look elsewhere, I knew this was home”. Pre-admission assessments are comprehensive and ensure that each prospective resident’s needs are known prior to their admission and allows confirmation that these needs can be met. Thornbury Villa DS0000003541.V290589.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 Health and Personal Care
The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. Quality in this outcome area is excellent. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans are comprehensive and ensure residents’ needs are identified and met in a manner that protects each resident’s rights and choices. EVIDENCE: Residents said that they are well cared for by kind, caring and competent staff. Many residents said that Thornbury Villa was a real “home from home”. Mr and Mrs Van Deijl and the senior staff in the home liaise regularly with health care professionals to promote the health and well being of all residents. For example, following the nutritional screening of all residents, 3 were found to be at risk from malnutrition: following extra support their health has improved significantly. Screening and intervention such as this demonstrates the owners’ commitment to not only maintaining the residents’ well being but to improve their health and their quality of life. One resident who had felt unwell on the day of the inspection, said that she was being very well cared for, and the staff were “spoiling her”. Thornbury Villa DS0000003541.V290589.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Care plans are the documents by which the home records a resident’s care and support needs, thereby ensuring that residents are supported in a consistent manner that promotes their independence and choice. Three care plans were examined and these provided a very detailed description of the residents’ needs as well as information regarding complex health and medical care needs. These records provided clear guidelines for staff and information about how residents like their care to be delivered. Those residents spoken to said that staff respected their privacy when assisting them with washing and bathing, and were always ‘kind, caring and gentle’. Throughout the day staff were observed knocking on residents’ bedroom doors and treating them with dignity and respect at all times. The home has a falls register and has completed risk assessments for residents at risk of falls and fractures. Paying attention to the risk of falls has resulted in a significant reduction in the number of falls by many of the residents. Medication is stored safely and administration records were accurate. The balance of all medicines is recorded daily and a member of staff with responsibility of ordering medicines audits these balances every week: this is very good practice and enables any issues relating to an individual’s medications be to easily identified. All staff who administer medication have received training from the local pharmacist ensuring they are aware of the principles of safe medication practices. Residents are supported to retain responsibility for their own medication should they be able to do so. The owners have recognised that many older people have prescribed multiple medications and the home’s practice is to have all medication reviewed by the local pharmacist within one month of admission. Should there be concerns over the level of medication taken by the resident a referral is made to their GP. This again demonstrates the owners’ commitment to protecting the well being of each resident. Mr and Mrs Deijl have given consideration to the care of the residents towards the end of their life and as such are developing an “End of Life Care Plan” to ensure that the residents’ wishes are known and respected. Residents who are terminally ill may remain at Thornbury Villa should the Community Nursing Service and the care staff be able to meet their needs.

The intended outcomes for Standards 12 - 15 are: 12. 13. 14. 15. Service users find the lifestyle experienced in the home matches their expectations and preferences, and satisfies their social, cultural, religious and recreational interests and needs. Service users maintain contact with family/ friends/ representatives and the local community as they wish. Service users are helped to exercise choice and control over their lives. Service users receive a wholesome appealing balanced diet in pleasing surroundings at times convenient to them. The Commission considers all of the above key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 12, 13, 14, 15. Quality in this outcome area is excellent.

Residents can be confident that the lifestyle in the home will be relaxed, interesting and promote their independence and choices. EVIDENCE: The atmosphere in the home was relaxed and comfortable whereby people wandered in and out of the living rooms and did as they pleased. Residents said that there were no rules as such: they could get up when they wanted and went to bed when they liked. The inspector spoke to one visiting relative who said she was always made welcome and praised the staff for their kindness. Those relatives who responded using the surveys also confirmed that they were welcomed into the home and kept fully informed. The following comments are some of those received: “I am completely satisfied with the care my Aunt receives and would add that very often staff go beyond their call of duty in their care of residents”, “my Grandfather receives first class care from all members of staff and his dignity is fully maintained”, “I find all staff very welcoming, kind, caring and informative. My Grandfather is extremely happy at the home” and “the atmosphere is one of happiness and homeliness. I would be more than happy to live there myself”.
Thornbury Villa DS0000003541.V290589.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Prior to lunch, residents meet in the dining room for a glass of sherry, or should they prefer to take their meals in their room, a glass of sherry is offered to them there. Residents said how much they enjoy the food served and praised the cook for the quality of the meals and the standard of cooking. People were offered alternatives if they didn’t want what was on offer. Tables were immaculately laid with table linen and china providing a very pleasant environment within which to eat a meal. Daily activities are facilitated by staff as well as external entertainers and include indoor football, skittles, darts, painting, bingo and exercises.

The complaints procedure was posted on the notice board and included in the Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide. All residents are entered on the electoral register to ensure they are able to continue to be involved in the electoral process. Mr Van Deijl is a member of the local authority’s Protection of Vulnerable Adults review committee and is conversant and very knowledgeable about the procedures in place for the protection of the residents in the home. All residents in the home are risk assessed as to their vulnerability with regards to all types of abuse. He gave examples whereby the risk assessments had revealed the need to refer residents for legal advice regarding protection of their property and finances. Thornbury Villa DS0000003541.V290589.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 The latest Alerter’s Guide published by the local authority and prevention of abuse procedures were available to staff. All staff have either undertaken or are due to undertake formal adult protection training ensuring they are aware of the signs and symptoms of abuse and also their responsibility should they suspect a resident is at risk. The NVQ training undertaken by staff includes elements of protection of vulnerable adults. Mr Van Deijl has accessed Equality and Diversity training to ensure staff are knowledgeable about anti-discrimination practices and issues of equality for residents who may have differing needs due to their age, sexual orientation, race, belief or disability.
