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): 3. Standard 6 is not applicable. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Systems are in place to ensure that people’s needs for care are identified and are able to be met by the home. EVIDENCE: There were no vacancies at the home at the time of the visit, and the home continues to operate at full occupancy. In the event of a vacancy the manager described the process to support a person moving to the home. This included receiving a completed assessment of the person’s needs from the care manager/local authority funding the placement. In addition the manager will meet with the person in their home or hospital to complete and gather
Thorncliffe DS0000005590.V364669.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 additional information to assist in developing a programme of care to support the person moving to Thorncliffe. People are also encouraged to visit the home before they move and a number of people living there confirmed that this had happened. Once a person moves to the home they are provided with a contract or statement of the terms and conditions of their placement. The files of three people who recently moved to the home were examined. The files contained information from the placing authority and further evidence of the information the manager had gathered prior to their admission. People funded by the Local Authority are provided with a statement of terms and condition of their placement and private funded people are provided with a contract. Records contained information relating to family and professional contact details, the level of support people required and copies of their placement agreement. As part of the inspection, time was spent in discussions with groups of relatives visiting the home and all said they were happy with the care and support offered to their relative. One relative using the comment cards confirmed a visit was carried out to view the home. Thorncliffe DS0000005590.V364669.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 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 and 10. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Health and personal care needs are clearly recorded in care plans and are drawn up in consultation with people or their representative as to how they wish to be supported. EVIDENCE: Information in the care plans for people most recently admitted was informative and set out the level of care and support each person needed. Records of how staff should assist and support the person’s identified care need supported this information. Records also contained information about specific health care needs and contact details for the health professionals supporting them. Additional information related to people’s personal interests and social care arrangements and evidenced that people had been consulted on such matters and how they would be supported by the home and staff to maintain their preferred lifestyle. Thorncliffe DS0000005590.V364669.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 Where an identified risk had been highlighted, there was evidence that the home had taken appropriate action to minimise the risk to the identified person. One example related to a person who was assessed as at risk of leaving the building. The home operates an open door policy and to support this person, the home had consulted with relatives on the use of a piece of equipment, worn by the person, which alerted staff if they left the building. Additional equipment continues to be used by other residents who may get up during the night and need assistance from the night staff. Medication procedures were assessed and found to be in order. A team of designated staff have responsibility for the administration and have received the appropriate training. Records are maintained of medication received by the home and when returned to the pharmacist. Medication is stored securely in the main office and the senior on duty holds the key. There are nine named people responsible for medication administration procedures. On examination of stocks of medication the home is advised to ensure correct accounts of stock are maintained where amounts of medication are carried forward from the previous month. Where staff hand write information on to the medication administration records these should be signed by the person making the entry and also be signed by another member of staff to confirm the entry is accurate and correct. A copy of the home’s policy is also located at front of the medication records. Throughout the day observations were made on the way staff and people living there interacted. There was a positive and professional approach taken by staff when supporting people with staff consulted with people when assisting them. The manager confirmed the home receives significant support from mental health services. This includes a CPN who visits on a regular basis and psychogeriatrician based at Tameside Mental Health at 3-4 monthly intervals. If people need to attend hospital the home will provide an escort service at no charge. Thorncliffe DS0000005590.V364669.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 Daily Life and Social Activities
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 and 15. Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Daily and social care arrangements are delivered in a way which reflects the choices and preferences of people. EVIDENCE: People are free to plan how they spend their day, such as what time they get up, where they sit and what activities they want to take part in. It was evident from discussions with people living there, staff and relatives that social care arrangements are an important aspect of life in the home. Staff confirmed that they are given time to sit and talk to residents to seek their views about what they would like to do during the day and where they would like to go on trips out, weather permitting. There was evidence from photos and discussions with relatives and people living there that the home maintains contact with the local community and that trips out are part of planned social events. During discussion with relatives they said the home kept them informed about social events and they were encouraged to attend such events. Relatives also
Thorncliffe DS0000005590.V364669.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 13 said they were made to feel welcome when they visited and were kept informed by staff of health and social care issues relating to their relative. Relatives spoke very highly of the manager and staff team and appreciated the care and support provided to people living there. An entertainer and trips out to a local pub for lunch is planned every 4-5 weeks and is paid for by the owner/manager of the service. The cook confirmed that she receives information from the manager and staff in relation to the medical and dietary needs of people in the preparation of their meals. On entering the dining room a menu board details the choice on offer at each meal. The dining room is pleasantly decorated and tables are set to a high standard. A cold-water dispenser is located as you enter the room. Relatives and people living there complemented the home on the meals provided and said they appreciated the variety and choice on offer. Records are maintained to evidence that range of choices offered. During discussions with two relatives they said “we are well happy with care for the past four years”.

This was evident on the day as the maintenance person attended to address identified issues raised during this visit. Bedrooms were found to be personalised and could be accessed throughout the day without restriction. All the furnishings and decoration were to a good standard and gave a homely feel.
Thorncliffe DS0000005590.V364669.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 17 The main entrance into the home is via the front door. Visitors are encouraged to sign in and out to comply with the health and safety regulations. The rear garden is fully accessible from the lounge and provided people with a pleasant and secure area to access, weather permitting. Some areas for attention related to the following: The home is advised to ensure double bedrooms are provided with privacy screens. In some rooms the labels on wardrobe and drawer units did not reflect the names of people occupying the room. Also a clock in one room did not accurately reflect the time of viewing. This information should be amended to support people whose primary need for care is a mental health care need. Bedroom 9 was identified as needing decorating, and in a number of rooms the bed head was missing and should be fitted. In room 14 a restrictor should be fitted to the outward opening window. The self closer on corridor door at room 9 was not shutting as the arm was disengaged from the closing mechanism. On examination of the basement the manager is advised to consult the fire service on issues relating to emergency lighting and evacuation procedures as there is only one way out from this area. Some hazardous materials stored in the area should be removed. Some cleaning solutions had been decanted to unlabelled plastic spray containers. This practice required monitoring. The exit route at side of building must be monitored and kept clear as bins obstructed the way out and the kitchen window opened out onto the way out. The dining room had been decorated; a fire evacuation sign had not been repositioned above exit doors. One route from the dining room takes you through a double door to the front of the building. Some equipment, ladders and vacuum cleaners were stored in the area between both doors and obstructed the designated way out. These must be removed and the area kept clear of obstructions. The above issues were brought to the attention of the manager and the maintenance person who said appropriate action would be taken to address these issues.
