Background to this inspection

Updated 22 February 2018

We carried out this inspection under Section 60 of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 as part of our regulatory functions. This inspection was planned to check whether the provider is meeting the legal requirements and regulations associated with the Health and Social Care Act 2008, to look at the overall quality of the service, and to provide a rating for the service under the Care Act 2014.

Prior to the inspection we looked at information about the service including notifications and any other information received from other agencies. Notifications are information about specific important events the service is legally required to report to us. We reviewed the Provider Information Record (PIR). The PIR was information given to us by the provider. This is a form that asks the provider to give some key information about the service, tells us what the service does well and the improvements they plan to make.

This inspection took place on 16 and 17 January 2018 and was unannounced. Inspection site visit activity started on 16 January 2018 and ended on 17 January 2018. It included looking at records, speaking to people who use the service, talking with staff and phone calls and emails to relatives and health professionals. The inspection was completed by two adult social care inspectors.

We spoke with the registered manager and deputy manager of the service and five members of care staff. We spoke with five people living at Broadhurst. We contacted four relatives by telephone who gave us feedback on the service provided at Broadhurst.

Overall inspection

Good

Updated 22 February 2018

This inspection was completed on 16 and 17 January 2108 and was unannounced.

Broadhurst is a ‘care home’. People in care homes receive accommodation and nursing or personal care as single package under one contractual agreement. CQC regulates both the premises and the care provided, and both were looked at during this inspection. Broadhurst accommodates 25 people in one adapted building. There were 22 people at Broadhurst at the time of the inspection.

There was a registered manager in post at the service. A registered manager is a person who has registered with the Care Quality Commission to manage the service. Like registered providers, they are ‘registered persons’. Registered persons have legal responsibility for meeting the requirements of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and associated Regulations about how the service is run

The previous inspection was completed in October 2015 and the service was rated Good overall. At this inspection the service remained Good.

We have provided two recommendations within this report to support the provider to complete the improvements they had started making to the home environment and people’s end of life care planning prior to our inspection.

Risk assessments were updated to ensure people were supported in a safe manner and risks were minimised. Where people had suffered an accident, action had been taken to ensure the on-going safety of the person.

Staff had received training appropriate to their role. Staff had received training around safeguarding and were confident to raise any concerns relating to potential abuse or neglect. The administration and management of medicines was safe. There were sufficient numbers of staff working at Broadhurst. There was a robust recruitment process to ensure suitable staff were recruited.

People were supported to access health professionals when required. They could choose what they liked to eat and drink and were supported on a regular basis to participate in meaningful activities. People were supported in an individualised way that encouraged them to be as independent as possible. People were given information about the service in ways they wanted to and could understand.

People and their relatives were positive about the care and support they received. They told us staff were caring and kind and they felt safe living in the home. We observed staff supporting people in a caring and patient way. Staff knew people they supported well and were able to describe what they like to do and how they liked to be supported.

The service was responsive to people’s needs. Care plans were person centred to guide staff to provide consistent, high quality care and support. Daily records were detailed and provided evidence of person centred care.

The service was well led. Quality assurance checks were in place and identified actions to improve the service. Staff and relatives spoke positively about the management team.
