For extracts, read the latest CQC inspection for Braunstone Firlands Care Centre.
What the care home does well Residents care needs are assessed, documented and a plan of care is put in place. Risk is recognised and planning put in place to lessen risks to people. We saw that they have good access to healthcare services to meet their individual needs, and that people are well cared for in the final stages of their life. There were no missing signatures on the medication administration records (MARR charts). Residents are offered choices such as what to wear, a choice of meals and whether to join in the activities provided. Activities are organised on a daily basis and meals and menus and pastimes are open for people to discuss. Decisions that the Residents make are recorded in the daily notes. There is adequate staffing numbers for the current resident group. There is a nurse on duty at all times, with care, kitchen, domestic and laundry staff. There are plentiful supplies of protective clothing. Staff supervision continues on a regular basis, this is the process where the manager oversees the staff working practices on a one to one basis, and helps toward staffs` personal development and planning training events. Complaints and safeguarding information is available in the home, and staff are aware of how to keep people safe and how the complaints process works. The acting manager is in the process of sending out questionnaires to residents, their relatives and professionals such as Doctors and District Nurses. We looked at how residents monies are handled, and saw accurate records kept of all transactions, and a system that is easily audited. What has improved since the last inspection? There was one requirement at the point of the last visit. This was regarding staffs` knowledge of the adult safeguarding policy and procedures. Staff were aware how and when to involve senior management and if necessary external support if this became an issue. What the care home could do better: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide have still to be completed with accurate information and the contact details of the local authority. The heating system must be improved so individual radiators are able to be turned off, this would improve the living conditions of residents. Residents privacy and dignity could be improved by ensuring toilet and bathroom doors close and lock properly. Medication storage was unlocked on our arrival, and must be kept secure at all times. Bulk medicines, or those not stored in blister packs, must be accounted for more regularly. The cold storage of medicines must improve to ensure it is still effective. The person serving the meals records the temperature of food to ensure it is held at a suitable temperature. The dates complaints are made and an outcome reached, could be recorded, which would assist in ensuring a prompt response. Staff must ensure they clean areas properly after personal care, to lessen the possibilities of cross infection or contamination. Toilet, baths and showers must be enabled to lock properly, with an appropriate type of lock. When repairs are completed, it would be useful to record the date , this would assist in the audit and overall safety in the home. Training records could be brought upto date, this would assist in the planning for staff. A file audit would confirm what documents were missing from files, and they could then be brought up to date. The acting manager must ensure accurate information is contained in the documentation of the home. Key inspection report

The main method of Inspection used was case tracking which involves selecting a sample number of people and tracking the care they received through talking with them where possible, and looking at their records and accommodation, in this case three residents were chosen. The term we is used in the report and recognises the Inspector visiting on behalf of the Care Quality Commission. This visit took place over one day, commencing at 9.30am and took seven hours to complete. The Inspector talked with the residents, acting manager and staff, looked around the home, viewed records, policies and care plans. Some of the comments made to the Inspector have been included in this report. A copy of the last Care Quality Commission (CQC) report is available in the home, and copies of this report are available from the acting manager. The quality rating for this service is 1 star. This means the people who use this service experience adequate quality outcomes. Care Homes for Older People

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 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. Prospective residents have full information on the home to enable an informed choice. Evidence: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide have still to be completed with information regarding the contact details of the local authority. This would enable people to make complaints direct to their commissioning authority. Prospective residents have their needs assessed before they move into the home this ensures that staff have the experience and numbers to meet peoples needs. All the residents files were found to include an assessment of their needs completed by a social worker or the senior staff member from the home. This home does not offer Intermediate Care. This is a specialist type of care offered following a hospital stay and is for rehabilitation purposes. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 25 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 adequate quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Inconsistencies in recording, auditing and storage of medicines has the potential to place people in danger in the home. Evidence: We looked at records kept by staff, which proved that extended health care services such as General Practitioners and community nurses visit on the residents behalf. Care plans are produced from the information gathered at the assessment stage prior to coming the home, and is periodically updated. Some of the information is incorrectly written into care plans. For example one plan indicates the person is continent at night, and requires their continence wear to be changed regularly. This does not give staff the correct information required to care consistently for people. Privacy and dignity is not well recognised with few of the toilet, shower and bath doors that close or lock appropriately. Medication storage is not well organised with the nurses room and medication storage cupboard being unlocked and open on our arrival. These must be kept secure at all
Care Homes for Older People Page 12 of 25 Evidence: times, to ensure the safety of people in the home. There were no missing signatures on the medication administration records (MARR charts), and the manager stated audits are carried out to ensure that people are given their medicines as prescribed. However there was an issue with a bulk medicine, where there was more than the amount there should have been. The MARR charts are not accurate where there is no information on medication that is carried forward from one month to another. In this instance there was no way to ascertain if the additional tablet was carried forward or a staff member had forgotten to give it. There were no controlled drugs being used at the time, though past records were seen and were accurate. We looked at the cold storage of medicines, a temperature check on the medication fridge records showed that this was not at a range that was suitable for medicines. Hence there could be a decline in the medicines effectiveness. This issue was complicated with the name label of the resident covering the storage and usage instructions. Staff were not aware of the correct storage needs of the medicine. We looked at the records for someone who recently passed away. They had good care from the staff, with accurate records on their care. This was assisted by specialist nursing staff, undertaking the Liverpool Pathway. This is a clearly defined care process which documents accurately the care and pain relief people should expect to receive. Care Homes for Older People Page 13 of 25 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 good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Daily life continues to improve, though the temperature of meals still causes concern. Evidence: Activities are organised on a daily basis, though as yet there is little evidence to confirm how many residents are offered these on an individual basis. The staff indicated there were more activities in a morning when residents were more alert, a comment which was backed up by a visiting relative. This person also indicated that they were happy with the visiting arrangements, which were on a very flexible basis. Residents are offered choice on a daily basis. Staff indicated these included when to get up or go to bed, what to wear, a choice of meals and whether to join in the activities provided. These are important as they assist residents retaining some level of control over their lives. The menu system ensures people are offered a choice of meals. These are cooked in central kitchen and transported to the home. The person serving the meals records the temperature of food to ensure it is held at a suitable temperature to ensure peoples safety. However some of the meals served on the ground floor sit in an unheated trolley whilst the staff assist individual residents with eating. Food on the first floor is held in a heated area until served. With a reorganisation of the meal
Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 25 Evidence: system, everyone could be assured of meals at an appropriate temperature, and ensure their health and safety. Special diets and dietary supplements are used where people have a particular need. Care Homes for Older People Page 15 of 25 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. Any concern is looked into and action taken to put things right. The care home safeguards people from abuse and neglect and takes action to follow up any allegations. People’s legal rights are protected, including being able to vote in elections. 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. Staff have the appropriate knowledge to protect people from abuse. Evidence: We looked at the complaint recorded since our last visit. This was dealt with appropriately. However it was not dated so we dont know if it was acted on promptly in line with the policy and procedure. Complaints information is available throughout the home, which would allow people to raise concerns about the service. There have been two complaints forwarded to CQC, these have been recorded appropriately and acted on by the staff. Care staff spoken with during the inspection were aware of what to do should they suspect any act of abuse. There has been additional training on this subject on a one to one basis, and the acting manager indicated he was trying to source further training for the staff. There has been one safeguarding issue forwarded directly to the Care Quality Commission (CQC). Care Homes for Older People Page 16 of 25 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, 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. 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. An uncontrollable heating system and areas of possible contamination pose a risk to people. Evidence: We visited the home during a period of warm weather, the heating was problematic at the time and staff were unable to maintain a comfortable temperature in the home. Staff were unable to switch off the heating or isolate the radiators; this made it uncomfortable for people. We looked around the home, and found many of the toilet, bath and shower rooms did not close or lock properly. We found that one of the bathing areas had not been cleaned following its use, and this presents a danger in the home. The laundry is appropriate with walls and surfaces that are cleanable. Staff were aware how laundry is handled, and have plentiful supplies of protective clothing to assist with tasks. Care Homes for Older People Page 17 of 25 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 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 to care for them. Their needs are met and they are cared for by staff who get the relevant training and support from their managers. 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. Staff are recruited safely and in numbers to provide adequate levels of care. Evidence: We looked at staffing numbers and found adequate staffing numbers for the current resident group. There is a nurse on at all times, with care, kitchen, domestic and laundry staff providing cover to the two floors of the home. We looked at the employment and recruitment records of staff employed since our last visit. The files were not all up to date but with some arranging the manager produced all the appropriate documents. Criminal Record Bureau checks (CRB checks) and other information to increase the security of people were in place. Training is ongoing, staff continue to undertake courses run by a variety of trainers from in the home and and external agencies. Training for most is not up to date in certain areas such as Dementia care, but staff did respond appropriately on how people need assisting. This is due to training on an individual basis, using pre printed training material and follow up questionnaires. Care Homes for Older People Page 18 of 25 Management and administration
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 led and managed appropriately. People control their own money and choose how they spend it. If they or someone close to them cannot manage their money, it is managed by the care home in their best interests. The environment is safe for people and staff because appropriate 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. The people staying at the home are safeguarded because it follows clear financial and accounting procedures, keeps records appropriately and ensures their staff understand the way things should be done. They get the right care because the staff are supervised and supported by their managers. 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. Poor monitoring of staff practice, places people at risk. Evidence: The current acting manager is a qualified Nurse, but has not yet started the process to become registered with the CQC. There has been no AQAA requested from Braunstone Firlands. This is one of the main ways that we will get information from providers about how they are meeting outcomes for people using their service. The AQAA also provides us with staffing numbers and information about the individual service and trends and patterns in social care. Quality Assurance (QA) is being developed in the home. Quality Assurance which is where the staff seek the views of people who live and others with an interest in the home. The acting manager is in the process of sending out questionnaires to residents, their relatives and professionals such as Doctors and District Nurses. We looked at how residents monies are handled, and saw accurate records kept of all
Care Homes for Older People Page 19 of 25 Evidence: transactions, and a system that is easily audited. Staff supervision is regularly undertaken, this assists with staffs personal development and training. We also looked at the health and safety tests performed by staff. These continue to be regularly performed and the outcomes recorded. The overall safety within the home remains adequate, but there is a failure by staff to challenge or question areas that they find deficient. Examples of this are the temperature of the medication fridge, and incorrect information contained in care plans, both of which have been dealt with in detail in the Health and Personal care section of this report. There is also conflicting information in the Fire Risk Assessment and Statement of Purpose, both documents quoting a different numbers of bedrooms in the home. These issues highlight the need for the acting manager to be aware of the documents in the home, and take steps to rectify any shortfalls and mis-information.

Having all the medication charts (MARR charts) start on the same date would be less confusing for staff, and reduce the possibilities of errors. The staff could rearrange the meal system to ensure food stays hot for all the residents. Staff could date any complaint records this would assist in providing information on the response. When the repair and maintenance of equipment is completed, it would assist auditing to record the date of the repair. It is recommended that all heating radiators have accessible shut off valves. This would assist staff in maintaining a comfortable environment in the home. A file audit would confirm what documents were missing from staff files, and they could then be brought up to date. It is recommended that the acting manager has information and experience which would allow him to gain a greater knowledge base of monitoring processes. 2 9 3 4 5 15 16 19 6 25 7 8 29 31 Care Homes for Older People Page 24 of 25 Helpline: Telephone: 03000 616161 Email: enquiries@cqc.org.uk Web: www.cqc.org.uk We want people to be able to access this information.
