JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 18,19 and 20 Quality outcomes in this area are poor. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Residents have their physical and emotional health needs met, however medication practices are poor, which leaves residents at risk. EVIDENCE: As the home employs qualified nurses, residents physical health is also closely monitored and recorded. Residents can access local NHS facilities and are supported to attend outpatient’s appointments by staff. Records of health care are kept in care plans and diaries and are well documented. One resident who had sustained a recent wound to their toe, had this swiftly dealt with and actions were clearly recorded. Resdients confirmed that they can see any visiting professionals such as CPN’s (Community Psychiatric Nurses) and Social Workers in their own rooms. Medication storage areas and medication administration records (MAR charts) were checked during the inspection. Storage areas are within the main home office and residents come to this area when they need their tablets. This was observed during the visit. The medication fridge, within the storeroom, contained 3 creams that were to be stored at room temperature, these were removed immediately. MAR charts
Glenarie House Nursing Home Limited DS0000063674.V307644.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 showed that medications had not been signed in when they had arrived at the home and that some records had correction fluid on them, making them difficult to read. 33 gaps were observed on MAR charts for 11 different residents, which means that staff have not signed to say the medication has been given. 6 medications had not been given as the GP (general practitioner) had prescribed and one residents records showed that their anti psychotic medication dose had been changed half way through the medication cycle. There was no record to show when this had happened and who had changed the record. A number of handwritten entries had not been double signed as a checking process to ensure that the correct medication was being given. There was evidence that the home manager was carrying out regular audits of the MAR charts, which is an example of good practice, however he had identified the balances on 2 medications were incorrect, one medication was short 20 tablets, the other by 20 mls. One medication was checked for a correct balance during the inspection, and found to have 16 doses unaccounted for. Medication practices must be improved as a matter of urgency. Advice was given to the homeowner in this area. Glenarie House Nursing Home Limited DS0000063674.V307644.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Concerns, Complaints and Protection

Staff training is not up to date, which may leave residents at risk, however staff could show they knew how to look after the residents and were aware of their needs. EVIDENCE: The home staffing rota showed that each shift there is 1 trained nurse and 2 care staff on duty, except for at night when 1 nurse and 1 carer are on duty. Staff, residents and management felt this was a suitable number to support the residents living at the home. Ancillary staff such as cleaners and a chef are also employed in addition to these numbers to keep the home running smoothly. Policies and procedures relating to staffing the home have recently been updated. Policies are available to cover equal opportunities, whistle blowing and sexuality. 4 staff files were sampled which included evidence of training. Staff had all been thoroughly character checked and had terms of employment, evidence of induction training and references in their files. Not all staff were up to date with the mandatory training, which was acknowledged by the homeowner, and must be addressed as a matter of urgency.

Service users’ rights and best interests are safeguarded by the home’s record keeping policies and procedures. The health, safety and welfare of service users are promoted and protected. Service users benefit from competent and accountable management of the service. The Commission considers Standards 37, 39, and 42 the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 37,39 and 42 Quality outcomes in this area are adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to the service. Quality assurance checks are not carried out to seek the views of people using the service. Management of the home is effective and risks to residents minimised. EVIDENCE: The manager was not on duty during the inspection. He is a qualified registered mental health nurse who is currently awaiting registration with the Commission for Social Care Inspection, and he has been in post for approximately 2 years. Staff commented favourably about the manager stating he was “supportive” and “helpful”, residents also stated they liked him and that he was approachable. The home policies and procedures were reviewed, a small number had been updated recently, however most are a few years old. The manager must audit
Glenarie House Nursing Home Limited DS0000063674.V307644.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 21 these policies and update those that need reviewing. Accidents were not being recorded in accordance with the Data Protection Act; advise was given regarding how this is to be achieved. No evidence could be seen that the home has any quality assurance systems in place. The home does not hold residents meetings, as they appeared to have not worked in the past, however some staff meetings are held. The home must decide as to what is the best way to monitor the quality of care given to ensure that residents feel that their views are listened to and acted upon. The home safety certificates were all up to date and in order. The homeowner stated that the gas check was carried out in May 2006, but that a certificate had not yet been issued, but would forward a copy to the inspector when it was received. Fire drills and testing are carried out appropriately and appropriate environmental risk assessments were in place. Following a recent incident at the home, 2 hourly checks of residents were introduced. Residents commented that that they didn’t like being disturbed and so it is reccomended that this be reduced to a headcount at 10pm and 6am. However, before doing so, an appropriate risk assessment must be carried out. Glenarie House Nursing Home Limited DS0000063674.V307644.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 22 SCORING OF OUTCOMES
