Records did not show that these had been reviewed regularly. Two care plans stated that medication is administered from a ‘dosset box’, when the home recently improved the system to administer medication from blister packs. A requirement was made for the Broadmead Rest Home DS0000061299.V320389.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 manager to ensure residents or their representatives are involved in the regular reviewing of their care plans. Staff said the care plans provide them with the information they need in order to provide the care and support the resident needs.

Three residents spoken with said that staff provide them with care and support as they would like. Records showed that residents received visits from GPs and other health professionals such as the district nurses and psycho-geriatrician.

One weight record showed a resident had lost weight over a period of time, there was no record of a nutritional assessment, the district nurse told the inspector she visits the resident regularly and is not concerned, as the resident has a healthy appetite, records and the inspectors observations during lunch confirmed this. The manager said she would complete nutritional assessments if they were concerned about a resident’s nutrition. A trained nurse was observed administering medication appropriately and there is a good medication policy and procedure in place. The home administers from ‘single blister pack system’ provided by the local pharmacist and is stored appropriately, in sufficient quantities.
