What has improved since the last inspection?

There is an ongoing maintenance programme at the home and refurbishment of the dining room, lounge and first floor corridor has taken place since the last inspection visit. Staff files seen at this inspection visit all contained two references.

What the care home could do better:

Attention needs to be paid to the care plans to ensure they contain sufficient detail to enable staff to meet the needs of the residents. Also, risk assessments need to be in place for all residents particularly in relation to bed rail equipment. Staff supervision has still not been implemented and this requirement remains outstanding from the previous inspection visit. This needs to be implemented and must take place on a one to one basis six times a year to ensure staff have the support and direction to carry out their jobs safely and efficiently. The home needs to ensure training is in place for all staff in areas including: food hygiene, moving and handling handling, first aid, abuse awareness and medication and that this is regularly updated. This requirement remains outstanding from the previous inspection visit and must be addressed to ensure residents are not put at risk. Complaints at the home must be fully recorded in the log book and outcomes recorded. The pharmacy inspector has made requirements relating to medication issues which can be found in the Requirements section of the report (No. 2).

The Commission considers standards 7, 8, 9 and 10 (Older People) and Standards 6, 9, 16, 18, 19 and 20 (Adults 18-65) are the key standards to be inspected at least once during a 12 month period JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for standard(s) 7, 8, 9 The health needs of residents continue to be adequately met and there is evidence of multi-disciplinary working with healthcare professionals. The home has arrangements for the storage, recording and auditing of medication and has access to a pharmacist for advice. Errors in recording and administration of medication and failure of medication supply were found that may have an effect on the health and welfare of residents although there had been improvement since the last visit. EVIDENCE: A new residents care plan was seen at the time of inspection and was found to contain personal information, a medical history and an assessment which Rosedene G54-G04 S19117 Rosedene V242708 130905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 11 included details about the residents’ likes and dislikes. The assessment was based on activities of daily living and contained information about needs including: mobility, communication, and dietary information. A care plan was in place but had been drawn up by the residents’ previous care home and requires review by staff at Rosedene. A full review/assessment by the residents’ social worker was available. A falls risk assessment was also in place. Discussion took place with the manager about the need for information within the resident’s files to be more detailed. For example a full continence assessment could not be found and the documentation did not specify the type of incontinence diagnosed or whether specialist advice had been sought. Another residents’ file was found to contain information about doctor’s visits and records of the contact residents have had with health and social care professionals. The general and mental health information was seen to be detailed. Care plans were well organised and divided into sections making the information easily accessible. There is evidence in the care plans of multidisciplinary input from health and social care professionals and the Manager stated that the home receives support from the local specialist mental health team. One resident reported that they had felt unwell recently and were taken to the local hospital for a change of medication and now ‘felt better.’ The manager confirmed that risk assessments had not been drawn up for all residents requiring bed rail equipment. These must be put in place. A key worker system is in place and they are responsible for ensuring the updating of the care plans relating to specific residents. The written medication policies and procedures were found to be adequate on previous inspection and were not reviewed on this visit. All medications administered by staff along with the records relating to receipt, storage, administration and disposal of medication were examined. Two staff were interviewed and medication for twelve residents was counted and compared to the records of receipt and administration to monitor whether residents were administered their medication in accordance with the prescribers’ directions. From these observations and discussions two residents had missing entries on the administration record indicating administration/nonadministration of medication. From the quantity dispensed and the amount of medication in stock the medication had been given. One resident had been recorded as receiving their medication on the morning of 19th September 2005. From the balance of medication recorded on the administration record and the amount of medication in stock the morning medication had not yet been administered. The staff on duty said that the medication had been given. The change of dose of medication had not been recorded clearly for two residents making it difficult to assess if the medication had been administered as Rosedene G54-G04 S19117 Rosedene V242708 130905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 12 directed. Differences were found between the amount in stock and the amount that should be in stock for one resident indicating that medication had not been administered correctly on one occasion. All residents except one did not receive any of their medication on 30th August 2005 as the supply had not been received from the pharmacy in time. This was because it was a bank holiday .One resident had not received one medication for one week, as the pharmacy had been unable to supply the medication. No records were seen of the action staff took to remedy the situation. Staff audit the medication in stock on a daily basis and record it on the administration record. The manager audits the administration records twice a month. No record was made of these audits. All other records were completed accurately and medication was stored safely and under the appropriate conditions ensuring the health and welfare of residents are protected.

Dietary needs continue to be well met and food looks well prepared and nutritious. Relatives are encouraged to maintain contact with residents. EVIDENCE: An activities co-ordinator is employed by the home. The manager reported that they are currently reviewing the activities offered to residents to ensure they all have a chance of being included in the activities. A new timetable has been drawn up which includes activities such as: art and crafts, bingo, cooking classes, quizzes and singalongs. The manager reported that some residents had attended church on the morning of the inspection visit. There is an Rosedene G54-G04 S19117 Rosedene V242708 130905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 14 activities room for the use of residents which is situated in the rear garden of the home. A new resident spoken to said that they sometimes like to go for walks in the garden and around the home. They were observed to be watching television in one of the lounge areas at the time of the visit. Regular residents meetings take place which are held by the activities coordinator and are fully recorded. Relatives and residents spoken to indicated they are given choice at the home in relation to dietary needs and what clothes to wear. Residents were observed to access all communal areas and those who wish to smoke may do so in the conservatory. One relative commented that they can choose to participate in their family members’ care. A garden party for residents was held in July and family members were invited. Residents and relatives commented positively about this event. All the relatives spoken to reported what a good time they had at this event. A hairdresser visits the home regularly and was seen visiting on the day of inspection. Residents were seen having their hair washed and cut in the hairdressing area. Feedback from relatives and residents was very positive regarding the food served at the home. As reported at the previous inspection visit menus demonstrate that residents have a choice of two hot meals and two dessert choices at lunchtime. The catering manager has a very good knowledge of individual residents dietary needs, likes and dislikes. She stated that the menus change according to the seasonal choice available. The catering manager reported that a choice of water, juices, tea, coffee, milkshakes, yoghurt drinks and hot chocolate are all available to residents throughout the day. Tea, coffee and juice drinks are served with all meals and a choice of fresh fruit is available daily. One resident said they liked the food and they were offered a choice of menu. Two relatives commented that the ‘food is lovely’ and their relative always has a ‘good sized portion.’ They also reported that there are always clean tablecloths on the table. The manager reported that the dining tables have been set at an angle to ensure there is less of an institutional feel. Correspondence was seen to show that the home has been awarded a Food Safety Sticker award for the standard of their food hygiene. The home has a pet cat which helps to lend a homely feel to the environment.

All staff must receive up-todate training in this area. There is a complaints policy at the home and a complaints log is kept. However, one recent complaint was not recorded and another complaint did not have a clear outcome documented. All complaints must be fully recorded and outcomes must be detailed to ensure a clear audit trail. Four relatives spoken to at this inspection visit commented that as soon as issues are brought to the attention of the Manager they are addressed. They all reported that they currently had no complaints about the home.

EVIDENCE: Rosedene G54-G04 S19117 Rosedene V242708 130905 Stage 4.doc Version 1.40 Page 22 The manager is currently completing the Registered Managers Award (RMA) and has been working at the home for many years. One relative commented that the manager is ‘very lovely’ and reported that residents are given choice in their day-to-day lives. The manager retains overall responsibility for care at the home and the Catering and Domestic manager continues to oversee all catering and cleaning arrangements at the home. Regular management meetings are held and minuted, topics discussed at the last meeting included: bed rail equipment, activities, staff supervision and training, quality assurance and fire training. The manager reported that regular staff supervision is still not in place. Staff must receive one-to-one supervision at least six times a year. However, it is recognised that that this is being addressed and paperwork was seen to have been drawn up for staff supervision sessions. A Quality Assurance system is in place and the views of residents were sought last year using a questionnaire. The questionnaire has been devised by the home to seek the residents’ views about life at the home including: admission, catering and food, personal care, daily living, premises and management. The manager stated that a quality assurance audit was going to be undertaken again this year. Discussions took place that the results would need to be collated and the findings presented in a report format for the residents. A questionnaire was seen and the manager reported that this is to be given to staff to seek their views about the home. Health and Safety checks were seen to be taking place at the home. Up-todate certificates were seen in respect of: gas safety, electrical installation and portable appliance checks. A legionella risk assessment is in place. Fridge and freezer temperatures are recorded daily and hot water temperatures are checked weekly and remain within safe limits. A recent fire inspection has taken place which was conducted by the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority.
