Prior to the inspection, records held on file and information received from the home since the last inspection were reviewed. The Manager Mrs Emery completed a pre inspection questionnaire and sent it back to the Commission in good time for the inspection. Twenty-four surveys were completed by residents and their relatives which gave their opinion about the home. The surveys were all generally positive about the home and the way it is managed. Some comments were made about meals, laundry and activities these were discussed with Mrs Emery during the inspection. During this inspection the Inspector toured the building, visited the majority of rooms, and joined the residents in the lounge areas. A case tracking exercise was undertaken for a number of residents. The tracking exercise looked at records and tracked the records to the care given for individual needs identified and any equipment supplied. The exercise indicated that a good standard of care is given at Fieldgate by a caring and well-trained team of staff. The Inspector then examined records of any accidents, concerns or complaints, to make sure that the residents at Fieldgate Nursing Home are being taken care of. Eleven residents and three visitors were spoken with and they were all very happy with the home. Residents who could not talk to the inspector were noted to be relaxed and content in their environment and in their interactions with the staff. The Inspector was able to speak to three visitors who were visiting the home and take into account their comments, i.e. “I am very happy with the care given to my mother and have no complaints”. “Staff are always welcoming and keep us well informed”. “My husband is always clean, well looked after and always looks comfortable”. All eleven residents asked said they were well looked after, “the staff were kind and supportive”, a number said ”the home has a nice friendly atmosphere”. Other comments included, “staff are very kind and always find time to talk to her”. “I could not be looked after any better”. “staff are always helpful and willing to do all that is needed”.
