Towneley House DS0000009456.V346926.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. This key unannounced inspection, which included a visit to the home, took place on the 3rd & 4th of october 2007. Much of the information gained was obtained from talking to residents, a relative and staff members. People living within the home allowed the inspector to call them residents. Three residents were case tracked. Case tracking gave the inspector an overall view of the specific care for the individual resident by checking their plans of care, other documentation and talking to staff, residents and a family member about the care they gave each resident case tracked. Residents were then asked if the care they received was what they needed. One resident did not wish to participate. A visitor supplied information about the care and services available. Two staff members were questioned about the care of the residents case tracked and the training they had undertaken. Some of the views have been reported collectively with specific comments contained within the body of the report. The inspector took detailed notes during the inspection, which have been retained as evidence. Staff were directly and indirectly observed carrying out their tasks and interacting with residents. Paperwork examined included plans of care, assessment documentation, policies and procedures or documents relevant to each standard. A tour of the building was conducted on day two of the inspection. This inspection was conducted on two days due to staff and many residents going on a pre-arranged trip on day one. What the service does well: One relative sent a letter to the inspectorate dated 03/10/07, which said since my mother has lived at Towneley House her care has been of a very high standard. I would say her physical, mental and emotional health has improved. She has nutritious meals, excellent social environment and good medical care. The staff are friendly, caring and well trained. The atmosphere in the home is warm and welcoming. Most important of all, my mother has settled in well, made friends and feels safe. Management is well organised and communication good. I am more than happy with the care my mother receives. PF The relative was very satisfied with the care her mother received. Resident’s case tracked said, “Its all right in here – I am all right. I have been here a while” and “I have been here a long while. I have become pals with Towneley House DS0000009456.V346926.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 another resident since I came here”. One visitor said, “She was in sheltered accommodation and had a few incidents such as wandering. She had carers but seemed depressed and was not eating. She set fire to carpet and had to stay at my house. The social worker told us to look for a place. We wanted a good, homely, caring atmosphere. She gave us the names of some homes and we came unannounced. The manager dropped what she was doing and showed me around. We went around and asked questions but really were looking for good care and attitude. We watched and it was very homely and knew it would suit mother. That is why I picked it. They came and assessed her – with another lady. They asked a lot of questions and I think they got enough information to determine if they could meet her needs. The process of moving in was absolutely fine and they told me I could come any time I liked. They gave me a lot of information about how they could meet her needs and keep her stimulated”. The assessment process helped family members and residents feel comfortable with entering a care home Resident’s case tracked said, “It’s a nice room. I have a few personal things in my room. I like to share my room with my friend” and “I like my room – its nice and I have some of my own things”. A visitor said, “Her room is the best in the house”. The homely atmosphere was satisfactory to residents and their families. Residents case tracked said, “The girls treat us very well” and “The girls are very nice – they have a laugh with us. The care is good”. One visitor said, “Staff are lovely and it’s the last thing I have to worry about. The owner is very nice”. The professional attitude of managers and staff gave residents and family’s confidence in the care they received. Resident’s case tracked said, “The food is good – its all right” and “The food is very nice”. One visitor said, “I have had meals here and they are very nice. She was not eating at home and now she is eating regularly”. Residents appreciated the meals served at the home. A visitor said, “There is autonomy within the home – she has choices – she can get up or stay in bed. When they get up they can have breakfast at any time”. Plans of care encouraged staff to give residents choices. The choices within the routine of the home allowed residents to remain independent. Resident’s case tracked said, “My family come when they want” and “My daughter came this morning – there are no problems with visiting”. One visitor said, “There are no problems with visiting – we can make our own cuppas”. Visiting was encouraged to aid the social inclusion of residents. Resident’s case tracked said, “They look after us I feel safe. I would talk to the manager if I had a worry” and “I would talk to my daughter if I had any problems. I feel safe here”. A visitor said, “I have a complaints procedure at home and it has your address on. I think she is as safe as she can be”. The open attitude of staff allowed residents and their families to feel protected. Towneley House DS0000009456.V346926.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 7 One visitor said, “They took mother to Benidorm and she thought it was ace”. The range of activities offered gave residents something to talk about and enjoy. One visitor said, “They have discussed her care with me. I gave them a resume of her needs and they have tried to accommodate her. They did not twist her arm but very gradually they have helped her get to bed, which she did not at home. They inform me of any medical or important issues. She is now much happier. She was in a single room but found a friend and they share it. I am very happy with the home”. Families were kept up to date on important issues and staff understood the importance of family involvement. What has improved since the last inspection? What they could do better: The registered person should ensure the last wishes of residents are documented to meet the needs of residents who are dying. The registered person should ensure risk assessments conducted upon residents contain the necessary information for staff to follow to provide good outcomes for residents. The registered person should ensure tissue viability and nutrition are assessed using a recognisable tool to protect the health and welfare of residents. The registered person should ensure the results of quality assurance surveys are summarised and made available for inspection to provide interested parties with the information.

Plans of care were detailed although areas for improvement were to provide better outcomes for risk assessments. Plans of care should provide information about resident’s last wishes. Plans of care contained sufficient information for staff to deliver effective care. Towneley House DS0000009456.V346926.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Plans of care contained details of attendance to health care professionals and specialists, such as psychiatrists, opticians, dentists and chiropodists. Plans of care contained risk assessments for falls but needed to use a recognised tool for tissue viability and nutrition to ensure best practice.

Go out for lunch and for drinks. Sometimes we have drinks in the evening. Some residents go to a football match at Burnley. We go on outings for special Towneley House DS0000009456.V346926.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 occasions such as a Christmas meals etc. One resident went shopping yesterday. We take people shopping for clothes to Bury market or major stores. We especially need to go shopping for holidays – tops and shorts are not normally part of the wardrobe. We do play bingo, dominoes and have quizzes for stimulation. I am sometimes wary of remembrance therapy because it can disturb them. We also have large floor games, go to theatres and local seaside places for picnics such as Blackpool”. The range of leisure activities provided residents with a fulfilling life. During the case tracking process three care plans showed how staff could offer choices to residents. Within the plans residents were encouraged to be independent and where possible staff played an encouraging role rather than doing. Choice was offered within aspects of the routine such as dressing, getting up and going to bed, activities or food and drink. Residents chose the times they got up and went to bed. On the day of the inspection one resident wished to stay in bed and did not participate in the case tracking process. Residents were allowed choices to help them retain some control over their lives.
