The Riverside Nursing Home DS0000061887.V315942.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 6 SUMMARY
This is an overview of what the inspector found during the inspection. The home was not made aware that this inspection was going to take place. Several weeks before the inspection questionnaires were sent out to doctors, social workers and nurses, as well as to the residents of the home and their relatives. The questionnaires asked what people thought of the care and services provided by the home. The home was also asked to fill in a questionnaire. Where appropriate these comments have been included in the report. The Inspector spent 5 hours at the home. During this time he looked at care and medicine records to ensure that health and care needs were met and also studied how information was given to people before they decided to move into the home. A full tour of the building was undertaken and time was spent looking at records regarding safety in the home. He also examined files that contained information about how the staff were recruited for their jobs, as well as records about staff training. The Inspector spent time speaking to 7 residents as well as speaking to 2 relatives, 4 staff, the manager and the owner. What the service does well:
The home has an experienced and enthusiastic team of staff who work well together and enjoy taking part in training and development sessions. The staff are motivated and keen to ensure that residents receive high standards of care. Meals and mealtimes were considered to be an important part of the residents’ day. The dining rooms are nice places to sit, eat and meet with other residents. The residents said that they really enjoyed their meals. They were satisfied with the choice of meals and the way they were cooked and served. They were particularly good at providing the care for people who moved in for a short time.

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): 3. Standard 6 does not apply Quality in this outcome area is good The system for ensuring that all prospective residents had a detailed assessment undertaken before their admission to the home gave an assurance both to residents, relatives and staff that a resident was only admitted if the home could meet their needs. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: Before any resident was admitted to the home an assessment of their needs was undertaken, either by a senior member of the nursing staff from the home or from the professional i.e. Rapid Response Nurse requesting their admission. The assessment documents of three residents were looked at. The assessments were detailed and gave a clear indication of the residents’ needs and their capabilities. The assessments looked at the physical, mental and social care needs of the residents as well as the involvement if any, of their relatives. The Inspector spoke with the relatives of a resident who had recently been admitted, who stated that the manager had been out to the residents’ home to undertake an assessment of her needs and also provided
The Riverside Nursing Home DS0000061887.V315942.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 information that helped them to come to the decision that the home would be able to meet her needs. All of the questionnaires returned to the Commission confirmed that each individual felt that they had received enough detailed information prior to making a decision to come into the home.

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): 7 8 9 10 Quality in this outcome area is adequate Care plans do not always fully demonstrate how aspects of health, personal and social care needs would be met. This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. EVIDENCE: The manager who had been in post since November was in the process of reviewing the care plan documentation and a selection of new and old documentation was examined. It is intended that all resident care plans would be in the new format within six weeks of the inspection. Refinements to the new format were suggested including the identification of residents’ interest and how the home intended to meet these needs as well as changes to the language used to refer to protection of the residents. Risk assessments were in place and covered such areas as moving and handling, nutrition, pressure sores, the use of bed rails and falls. Feedback from GPs returning comment cards were mixed, with one GP satisfied with care
The Riverside Nursing Home DS0000061887.V315942.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 provision at the home. whilst another felt that the staff did not staff communicate clearly and was dissatisfied with the working partnership with them. Residents and relatives said the home called their GP when they needed them and considered health needs were well met at the home. Staff said the chiropodist, optician, physiotherapist specialists visited the home and the community dentist visited, as and when necessary. The continence advisor had been consulted and appropriate aids had been provide as a result. Care plans also recorded involvement of other health care professionals as necessary e.g. speech therapist, dietician. Residents were weighed monthly; their weights monitored and appropriate follow on action taken. The home has received information and training from the dietetics department in relation to nutrition and this assessment tool needs to be incorporated within the care plan. The medications system was on the whole safe, though hand transcribed medications should be witnessed by two members of staff to reduce the possibility of errors occurring. Medications were securely stored; the prescription administration sheets were filled in accurately and there was an accurate record of medicines received into the home. Appropriately trained staff administered medicines. The home has a contract with a licensed firm that undertakes safe disposal of unused medication. A discussion with the residents and a relative identified that they feel their privacy is respected and that they are treated with kindness. Of the 4 questionnaires received from the residents all stated that their privacy was respected. Staff spoken to gave examples of how privacy and dignity were promoted.

Overall, residents considered they were encouraged to do what they could for themselves and make appropriate choices through the day. No formal activities programme is in place with activities arranged more on an ad hoc type basis Previous inspection reports have referred to the need for a more structured activity, with staff available for one to one activities to take

Provision of social activities and integration into community life is limited and does not provide a stimulating environment within the home. Activities were not recorded on residents’ files and there was little evidence to indicate that staff are working with residents on both a group and individual basis. Residents told the Inspector that they are able to have visitors at any reasonable time and they can see their visitors in private. One relative told the Inspector that the staff at the home always made him very welcome. Meals are served in the dining room by the care and catering staff. The dining room tables were attractively laid and the home offers three well balanced meals day with light refreshments at other times. A choice is available at each meal time and the menu is displayed. The residents gave very good feedback on the quality and quantity of meals and the contact they have with the cook each day.
