The focus of inspections undertaken by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) is upon outcomes for the people using the service and their views on the service provided. This process considers the providers capacity to meet regulatory requirements, minimum standards of practice and focuses on aspects of the service that need further development. Prior to our visit an analysis of all the information we have received about the home since our last inspection was undertaken. We looked at what the manager had told us in the Annual Quality Assurance document (AQAA) and the responses we received from our Have Your Say surveys which we sent to residents, staff and external professionals at the home. The main method of inspection used was called case tracking, which involves looking at the quality of care received by a number of people living at the home. We use evidence from our observations, from speaking to people about their experience of living at the home, talk to staff about their understanding of peoples needs and the training they receive to support them in their role. The quality rating for this service is 3* which means people receive excellent outcomes. What the service does well: What has improved since the last inspection?

Prospective service users know that the home that they will choose will meet their needs and aspirations. Prospective service users have an opportunity to visit and to “test drive” the home. Each service user has an individual written contract or statement of terms and conditions with the home. The Commission consider Standard 2 the key standard to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Standard 2 People using the service experience excellent quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. Significant time and effort is spent planning to make admission to the home personal and well managed. An individual member of staff is allocated to each service user to give them information and special attention to help them to feel comfortable in their surroundings and enable them to ask any questions about life in the home. EVIDENCE: The manager gave us a lot of information in the AQAA about the process of arranging admissions to the service. This told us that they have sustained a strong focus on making sure people have a positive experience when they come for a short break. We examined the records of two people who had recently arrived at the home for a short break. The records showed that staff had spent a lot of time consulting with the service user and their family before they came to stay, providing them with information about the home and opportunities to visit and meet their allocated contact worker. Kingsbridge Way DS0000059705.V378602.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 9 The records show that information is obtained about each person from all external professionals that are involved in supporting the person at home. This information is used in consultation with the service user to develop a care plan that describes how they can be supported at the home and the most suitable methods of communication. These are comments we received from service users in response to our surveys, “It gives me a very happy and safe environment away from home for a short break”. “The staff are very helpful” “The staff look after me well”. We received survey responses from external professionals involved in the service and these are some of the comments they made, “The service is very person centred and the majority of the staff work very hard to meet the specific needs of the service users” “Provides person centred care, works well as a team and they communicate well with service users and families”.

Service users are consulted on, and participate in, all aspects of life in the home. Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6-7-9 People using the 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 staff continue to ensure that people using the service experience a variety of activities during their stay in accordance with their individual choice and preference. EVIDENCE: We looked at two care plans during this inspection and the records supported what the manager had told us in the AQAA, that each service user has a care plan and risk assessments, which reflect their personal needs and choices.The plans are produced in partnership with the service user (where possible), carers and other professionals, including the Short Breaks Health Care team were applicable. Kingsbridge way provides a short break service and as described in the admission standards each person has a full assessment of their needs Kingsbridge Way DS0000059705.V378602.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 11 undertaken before they come to stay. A contact worker always calls the person or their carer before and after each short break to plan the activities and choices they would like during their stay. The AQAA and care plans show that the staff are aware of the importance of recording the preferred communication style of each person. They work with professionals such as speech and language therapists to develop engagement with people who have communication problems, using symbols, photographs and other visual aids. The manager told us she is aware of and working towards ensuring that new laws about how people are supported to make decisions are recorded within each care plan to ensure their rights and choices are respected. The staff identify any risks to the service user including health risks to ensure that any activity a person takes part in is free from avoidable risks to their safety, any changes in health are monitored and action taken to ensure their wellbeing. We saw people relaxed and happy, sharing a lunchtime meal and planning the day’s activities. A relative told us “The home provides a very happy and safe environment away from home for short breaks”.

There are activities and events provided and a suitably healthy diet is offered that suits the individual needs and choices of people using the service. EVIDENCE: Kingsbridge way offers holiday style breaks, they provide activity workers who help plan activities, outings and events. A relative told us “My daughter loves her short breaks at Kingsbridge Way; there is a variety of activities to choose from”. The manager tells us in the AQAA that they ‘have a diverse age range of staff and this helps new service user’s to identify with there age range. We also try and make bookings for people so they can stay with friends and peers. This way activities and outings can be arranged to match the needs and choices of Kingsbridge Way DS0000059705.V378602.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 13 individuals. We purchased activity items like the Nintendo WII on the request of some of the younger service user’s’. The staff work hard to make sure that each person is treated individually, routines are made flexible and activities are person centred. They use a variety of methods to help people choose how they spend their holiday. There are many visual aids including visual sybols and books to support real choice for people who have communication difficulties. We saw that each person has their own diary sheet which records what they have done each day of their holiday, they can take these home to share with their family. To ensure the overall quality of the service, they have regular service users and carers meetings, and minutes of these were seen. Each person had a nutritional record within their care plan and the manager told us that where people have specific dietary problems they are supported by the health care team staff and food charts are put in place to ensure the correct nutrition and hydration is provided. Both the Environmental Health and the Local Authority Nutritional Balance Team Inspections undertaken in the last year have reported that they are “Pleased and impressed with the standards of food hygeine”.

Service users retain, administer and control their own medication where appropriate, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. The ageing, illness and death of a service user are handled with respect and as the individual would wish. The Commission considers Standards 18, 19, and 20 the key standards to be inspected. This is what people staying in this care home experience: JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18-19-20 People using the 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 receive personal and healthcare support using a person centred approach. The home has a good record of compliance with the receipt, administration, safekeeping, and disposal of medicines . EVIDENCE: The care plans we looked at show that the staff focus on recording all the information about how people wish to be supported with personal needs and the manager has considered matching the staff team to the people they are supporting by employing both male and female staff from different age groups. The allocation of a contact worker ensures that information about usual routines and activities are continued if necessary for the appropriate management of each person and in agreement with them and their usual carer. Kingsbridge Way DS0000059705.V378602.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 15 The service benefits from a full time trained nurse who is involved in assessing the health of each person that is referred for a short break at the home. The nurse ensures that any health needs are identified and provides staff with detailed plans of how to support their needs. An external professional told us, “I think it works really well having a nurse based at the home, we can provide training for staff in the individual health needs of people, it helps the staff to understand the theory and put it into practice alongside health care plans”. From the staff survey responses we received and staff training files we examined we know that the manager ensures that medicines are administered only by trained staff that are regularly assessed for their competency. We saw that medicines were being safely stored and administered and staff have access to medicine policies which are in the process of review to ensure they reflect up to date practice and legislation. A service user responding to our surveys told us, “They look after me very well” Kingsbridge Way DS0000059705.V378602.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 16 Concerns, Complaints and Protection The intended outcomes for Standards 22 – 23 are: 22. 23.

EVIDENCE: We saw that a complaints procedure is displayed in the home and also within the information provided to each service user to ensure that people know what to do if they have concerns. People responding to our surveys confirmed that they knew who to speak with if they had concerns and they told us that they felt listened to and taken seriously by the manager. The commission has not received any complaints about the service in the last year. The manager has addressed one complaint within the agreed timescale and taken appropriate action to address this. We saw records of staff training during our inspection which demonstrated that the manager is ensuring the staff team are trained to identify possible abuse and take appropriate action to safeguard people. Kingsbridge Way DS0000059705.V378602.R01.S.doc Version 5.3 Page 17 We also identified how the staff are also trained to manage difficult behaviours such as aggression to prevent people harming themselves or others. The manager told us in the AQAA that ‘All service users who display behaviour, that can be verbally or physically abusive to others, or they display self harming behaviours, have care plans, stating what the behavour is and what can trigger it’. A relative told us, “They let my daughter call me if she wants reasurance which I appreciate very much”.
