Green Meadows DS0000037294.V316271.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 5 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. An unannounced visit was undertaken on the 6th of December 2006. The process included a tour of the service where a number of the bedrooms, communal areas, kitchen, and bathrooms were viewed. As part of case tracking 5 staff and 8 service users views were sought and care records were looked at. The inspector also spoke to visiting professionals such as district nurse and the environmental health officer who were at the home at the time. Information gained from the pre inspection questionnaire was also used and included in this report, as was information gathered by the commission since the last inspection to contribute in assessing judgements in this report. The commission has issued an updated certificate of registration reflecting the current registration body as CSCI following this visit. The commission did not receive any comments cards back, however relatives and the service users spoken with indicated that the home provides a reliable service and that they felt safe at the home. As part of the unannounced inspection the quality of the information given to people about the care home was looked at. People who used the service were also spoken to, to see if they could understand the information and how it helped them to make choices. This information included the service users, guide (sometimes called a brochure or prospectus), statement of terms and conditions (also known as contracts of care) and the complaints procedure. These findings will be used as part of a wider study that CSCI are carrying out about the information that people get about care` homes for older people. This report will be published in MAY 2007. Further information on this can be found on our website www.csci.org.uk What the service does well:
The home provides the service users with a warm and welcoming environment to live in. The service users bedrooms are personalised and they said that this met with their needs. Care practices observed at the time of the visit showed that the staff and the service users had developed good relationships and care was provided in a respectful manner. Positive comments were received from the service users spoken with about the care that they are receiving at the home.
Green Meadows DS0000037294.V316271.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 The meals are well managed offering the service users variety and choices. There is a good procedure for dealing with the service users’ personal allowances as managed by the home that ensures that they are protected from abuse What has improved since the last inspection?

The intended outcomes for Standards 1 – 6 are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Prospective service users have the information they need to make an informed choice about where to live. Each service user has a written contract/ statement of terms and conditions with the home. No service user moves into the home without having had his/her needs assessed and been assured that these will be met. Service users and their representatives know that the home they enter will meet their needs. Prospective service users and their relatives and friends have an opportunity to visit and assess the quality, facilities and suitability of the home. Service users assessed and referred solely for intermediate care are helped to maximise their independence and return home. The Commission considers Standards 3 and 6 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 1,2,3,6 Quality in this outcome area is good. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. The admission process ensures that the service users have the information they need to make an informed choice. The service does not provide intermediate care. EVIDENCE: The home has a statement of purpose and a service users guide. Three service users views were sought to find out if they had received information prior to moving into the home. One service user said that he visited the home and was given information about the service. Another service user said that she did not know or could not remember and was not aware if she had a contract. A relative confirmed that she was provided with information when she made enquiries about admitting her mother to the service and she recently received a letter to notify her of an increase in fees. Record showed that the service
Green Meadows DS0000037294.V316271.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 users are offered a contract with the terms and condition of residency on admission. All the three service users spoken with said that they had made the “right choice” and that they were treated well and the staff were “very good”. The service users are offered a contract with the terms and condition of residency on admission. However copies seen in the service users’ folders did not contain the fees charged. The care records of two newly admitted service users and two service users receiving respite care were seen as part of case tracking. Care management assessments are sought as part of the assessments that staff stated is used as part of the care planning. This was available for a service user admitted for respite care. Two service users said that they were provided with information prior to admission. The home offers prospective service users the opportunity to visit the home. The manager confirmed that the home does not provide intermediate care. Green Meadows DS0000037294.V316271.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Health and Personal Care
The intended outcomes for Standards 7 – 11 are: 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. The service user’s health, personal and social care needs are set out in an individual plan of care. Service users’ health care needs are fully met. Service users, where appropriate, are responsible for their own medication, and are protected by the home’s policies and procedures for dealing with medicines. Service users feel they are treated with respect and their right to privacy is upheld. Service users are assured that at the time of their death, staff will treat them and their family with care, sensitivity and respect. The Commission considers Standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): Quality in this outcome area is adequate. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. 7,8,9,10 Some of the care plans were detailed, however further development of care plans and assessments would ensure that all care needs are identified and met. The healthcare provisions for the service users are well managed. Some of the medication management was poor and must be reviewed to safeguard the safety of the service users. The service users are treated with respect and their dignity maintained. EVIDENCE:
Green Meadows DS0000037294.V316271.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The care plans of six service users were seen as part of the case tracking and these included two service users receiving respite care. Two of these contained lots of details about the care needs of the service users and how these would be met. Assessments included social contact, detailed personal history and risk of falling. Three of the records seen did not contain manual handling assessments and inadequate details about how the personal care needs would be met. It was discussed with the manager that care records should include the type of support needed and clear information on how these would be achieved. The home has service users who come in for respite care. This is a valuable service and enables the service users to remain in their own home. Care management assessments for these service users were available. The home carried out assessments for respite care service users on admission. Record seen indicated that this had not been reviewed on admission in order to assess any changes in the needs of the service user. There was no care plan for one service user on respite care and was brought to the attention of the manager. The staff must ensure that the service users admitted for respite care have an assessment of their needs reviewed on re-admission to ensure that any changes are identified and appropriate care plans are put in place to show how these needs would be met. The home has one service user who has been assessed as requiring nursing care and the manager reported that this is being addressed at present. All the service users were registered with a GP and staff reported that the GPS visited twice a week and were available at other times. It was evident from staff comments and the visiting district nurse that the home has developed and maintained good relationships with the local surgery and staff felt supported. There was good system in place for supporting the service users in remaining at the home for terminal care and managing their pain. Comments from a visiting professional included “this is a very nice home” and that staff are pro active in referring the service users and seeking support as needed. The home has a medication procedure in place for the receipt and return of medication. The home was using the Monitored Dosage System (MDS) and all medication received were checked and recorded. The medications are ordered on a monthly basis and staff ensured that they saw the prescriptions prior to these going to the pharmacist. The Medication Administration Record (MAR) sheets were maintained. It was noted that the controlled drug register did not contain complete record of drug returned to the pharmacy. Both the pharmacist and the home should sign this. This was discussed with the manager and would be rectified. The record of a service user who is self medicating did not contain a risk assessment. The home must ensure that there is a clear procedure for self-administration and that all medications in the possession of the service users are stored safely. The service users were provided with a locked drawer in their rooms, however medication that can be
Green Meadows DS0000037294.V316271.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 dangerous to others was unlocked in one room. This was brought to the attention of the manager and rectified on the day of the visit. The district nurse was attending the home and drawing up Insulin for a week and left for the carers to administer. The service user was prescribed Insulin twice a day and different dosages for morning and evening. Good practice guidance dictates that medication should not be secondary dispensed for someone else to administer. Also that medication should not be removed from the original container as supplied by the pharmacist until the time of administration. Secondary dispensing can put the service users at risk such as receiving the incorrect dosage/ medication. Following the visit the inspector sought the advice of CSCI pharmacist regarding this issue. The pharmacist also agreed that this is unsafe practice and the home should seek advice such as regarding pre filled syringes/ training for staff in order to ensure that all medications are administered safely at all times. Further information on good practices for the management of medication can be found in the Royal Pharmaceutical Society Guidance. The district nurse reported that the alternative would be for them to attend the home twice a day to administer the Insulin. Staff must ensure that medications kept in the fridge have the date of opening and stored at the correct temperature. The home has purchased a new fridge for medication; staff must ensure that record of fridge temperature is maintained to include minimum and maximum temperature, as this was not done regularly in records seen. Six service users and three relatives were spoken with and they were very complimentary of the care provided by the home. They stated that staff were very “kind and helpful “and were treated with respect. Another service user said that “this is a good very home” and “I have nothing but good things to say”. They also said that the staff are always respectful and kind and their privacy and dignity are respected when receiving care. Comments received and observation on the day showed that the staff had developed good relationship with the service users and treated them with respect. Staff were observed to knock prior to entering the service users bedrooms. Three service users confirmed that they have autonomy and choice and they chose when to go to bed or get up.
