Areas of particular note were outcome areas relating to health and personal care, daily life and social activities, the environment and staffing (especially training) all of which we assessed as excellent. What has improved since the last inspection? Not applicable as this is a new registration. What the care home could do better: Following this inspection no requirements were made and there were no areas of concern. However the production of the daily menu in a format or formats that all residents can understand would ensure residents were aware of the choices they had made with regard to food..

The quality rating for this care home is: Our judgement for each outcome: three star excellent service Choice of home Health and personal care Daily life and social activities Complaints and protection Environment Staffing Management and administration peterchart Poor Adequate Good Excellent How we did our inspection: This is the first report since the home was re registered in August 2009. The initial registration by the present owners was in 1989. The re registration resulted only in the legal status of the home changing to that of a limited company and made no difference to the ownership, day-to-day management and operation. This report was written after taking into consideration a number of sources of information and evidence including a site visit to the premises, previous reports, the registration application, responses by the registered person at a pre registration interview, sampling residents, staff training and recruitment records. We talked with residents, staff, visiting relatives, health care professionals and management. Care Homes for Older People Page 6 of 28 we also received a response by the manager to a pre inspection Annual Quality Assurance Assessment. (AQAA). During this inspection which took place on 26/01/2010 between the hours of 9.15 am and 2.30 pm we were assisted by The Registered Manager, Registered Person and other members of care and support staff all of the key standards for older persons were inspected. The results and findings contained in this report will determine the frequency and type of future inspections.

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 and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. 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 them 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. The home has a system of assessing and identifying residents needs which ensures these needs can be met safely. All needs are met within a risk management policy that requires residents and or their representatives are consulted whn decisions are made that affect them. Intermediate care is not provided therefore this standard does not apply. Evidence: The Registered Manager informed us that residents were only admitted in accordance with a pre admission policy and procedure that required a detailed written assessment of need and risk by a member of the homes management team being carried out in consultation with the potential resident or their representative. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 28 Evidence: This would involve the manager or a member of the homes management team visiting the prospective resident who are also are encouraged to initially visit the home to assist them in gauging whether it provides a suitable environment for them. As part of the admission process management also liaise with external health and social care professionals regarding any care needs, risks, equipment and aids, that need to be taken into consideration when developing a care plan . To confirm compliance with the above and the National Minimum Standards for older persons we viewed the records chosen by us at random of three residents recently admitted. All records seen were very detailed, easy to understand, dated and signed by both the assessor and the resident. All took into consideration the needs, wishes, choices and aspirations of the potential resident as well as any present or potential risks. Evidence was also seen that confirmed that all assessments of need and risk are subject to regular reviews to ensure changing needs of residents continue to be met safely and care plans (Section 7-11 of this report refers) updated to reflect any changes. Respite care is not available in the home. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 28 Health and personal care 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 health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they 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. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them 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 excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The home has a well-developed system of planning and reviewing care, which reflects residents, wishes, and aspirations and ensures residents needs are met within a risk management policy that involves residents and or residents representatives in decisions that affect them. Evidence: As part of our inspection plan, we viewed a random sample of three residents care plans All of the detailed and well presented care plans which were reviewed at least monthly were based on pre admission assessments to identify what help and support individuals needed and any attendant risks. (The previous section of this report; standards 1-6 refers). Records seen also confirmed residents were consulted about the plan when it was developed. Some residents verbally confirmed this others told us they could not remember. Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 28 Evidence: Staff who had a good understanding of the contents of the care plans and risk assessments were able to explain to us how the care plans were put into day-to-day practice. All of the residents spoken with confirmed they were very satisfied with the care and support they received. They advised us they were contented, liked the staff and management were treated with respect, that their individual privacy was respected and that staff always knock on their bedroom door and wait before entering, a practice we observed during this visit. A number of visiting health care professionals and relatives were spoken with. All confirmed the home keeps them informed about individual residents, made them feel welcome and dealt with any queries or questions in an open frank and professional manner. All parties commented that the general atmosphere, professionalism and staff attitudes was excellent. The residents right, and the opportunity to take risks is seen as fundamental. Residents were supported to make decisions for themselves within a risk assessment framework with the help of staff if required. This process identified individual risks and how they were to be managed however in many instances due to their dementia a large number of the residents would have difficult in understanding the concept of risk. Any restrictions would be included in the care plan following consultation with the resident or their representative. Staff who had a good understanding of the contents of the care plans and risk assessments were able to explain to us how the care plan was put into day-to-day practice. Residents informed us were able to see the doctor of their choice or any other health and social care professional when they needed to. The records viewed indicated that apart from doctors, district nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, other specialists had been consulted when required. Records were kept of appointments with GPs, dentist, optician, chiropodist and any other external health and social care professional and included details of any advice and treatment given. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 28 Evidence: All medication which is dispensed by a pharmacist is securely stored and administered in accordance with a medication policy and procedure by staff who have received training in the administration, recording and the security required when handling residents drugs and medication. During this process we noticed senior staff responsible for administering residents medication wore a tabard instructing that they should not be interupted or spoken to whist involved in handling residents medication. Those responsible to this simple but effective method of improving residents safety are to be congratualted on this excellent example of best practicce. All staff handling medication told us they were aware of and had read the procedure which also includes provision for those residents who wish subject to a risk assessment to retain responsibility for their own medication. The record of drugs and medicines administered to residents and unwanted drugs disposed of were complete and accurate. The home takes issues of equality and diversity seriously. In their AQAA the manager told us: We provide training to staff to promote awareness and recognise negative impact and prejudices. We are fortunate to have a culturally and chronologically diverse staff team. We discuss issues of equality and diversity and challenge discriminatory practice. This is incorporated in our statement of purpose. Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 28 Daily life and social activities 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 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. They are as independent as they can be, lead their chosen lifestyle and have the opportunity to make the most of their abilities. People have nutritious and attractive meals and snacks, at a time and place to suit them. There are no additional outcomes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The social activities family contacts and the provision of varied and nutritious meals were well managed and reflected residents interests and choices. Evidence: A varied and busy social activities programme organised by an activity organisers or external independent providers both in the home and community based were available. Residents expressed how important the activities were and how much they enjoyed them. All confirmed that participation was up to the individual and no one was forced to join in. We were told in the AQAA that a number of residents attend clubs, a day centre, go out to lunch with friends and relatives and attend church. Regular trios out organised by the home to theatres, or local places of interest are also available. In house activities on offer include, an outside entertainer, board games, bingo, crafts, quizzes etc. we were told that the programme is very flexible and would t be changed to meet the wishes and needs of residents. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 28 Evidence: The manager informed us that the local Alzheimers society who had also provided training for two of the homes activity organisers had been consulted and their advice sought to ensure that the needs of residents with dementia were also being addressed. The home has regular visits from local Church of England and Roman Catholic clergy who conduct services and communion in the home.The needs of members from any other faiths would be if required catered for but at the time of this visit no members from other faiths were residing in the home. Residents and the homes staff informed us visitors were welcome at any time.Visiting relatives told us they always felt welcome,were encouraged to visit at any time, were able to share a meal with their relatives and that there was excellent two way communication between them and the home. Through out the home there were photographs and photo collages of events that had taken place such as birthdays and Christmas etc. This also included a visit by The Deputy Lord Mayor of Portsmouth on the occasion of the homes 20th anniversary at which time she met with residents. staff and relatives We were told in the AQAA that during her speech she had commented about the good reputation Braemar had locally. The quality, quantity, presentation and choice of food including special diets served came in for particular praise from the residents. A written daily menu based on residents likes and dislikes was displayed. We highlighted the need to ensure that the menu was displayed in format that all residents would understand. This is of prime importance for persons with dementia who may find the addition of pictures would be beneficial to understanding the daily menu and when making choices. This has previously been recognised by the Registered Manager who showed us a selection of photographs that was being assembled to produce pictorial menus and to assist staff in helping residents make meaningful choices about the food they wished to eat. A verbal undertaking was given the pictures would be employed and displayed in the manner suggested as a matter of urgency. Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 28 Evidence: We observed residents taking their mid day meal which residents informed us meals could be taken in their own rooms if they wished. The meal was conducted in a relaxed unhurried manner with staff available to give any resident assistance should they require it. Tea and coffee making facilities were available to residents and visitors at all times.
