Ratings - Long stay or rehabilitation mental health wards for working age adults
Our view of the service
Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s long stay rehabilitation for adults of a working age in-patient service consists of 36 beds across 2 locations including Thorneywood Mount and Bracken House. During this assessment, we carried out an onsite assessment of both locations. The service was last rated requires improvement (November 2022). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using key lines of enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We carried out our on-site assessment on 8 and 9 October 2024. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. During this assessment we looked at all quality statements across 1 key question: learning culture, safe systems, pathways and transitions, safeguarding, involving people to manage risks, safe environments, safe and effective staffing, infection, prevention and control, medicines optimisation. As we assessed all of the quality statements for the key question of Safe, the rating for this key question reflects the findings of this assessment. However, as we did not assess enough quality statements from the key questions; Effective, Responsive, Caring and Well led, which means we use the ratings from the previous inspection to rate these key questions.
People's experience of this service
We spoke with 9 patients, attended one community meeting and one daily patient safety huddle. We looked at 12 patient care and treatment records and reviewed medicines management across both locations. Patients were involved in the development of their care and treatment records and risks were discussed with them. Patients had access to the local community and staff supported them to access varied activities on and off the wards to help them reach their rehabilitation goals. Patients had access to support from various professionals including occupational therapists, peer workers, advocates, nurses and psychologists.
