This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. 7,8,9,10 The care plans provided detailed information. Care plans for new people must be developed and put in place. The health care needs and access to external agencies are well managed. The medication management needed further development to include recording of medication received and management of prescribed wound dressing product. The service users are treated with respect and say that their dignity and their right to privacy is maintained at all times. EVIDENCE: Tudor Lodge Nursing Home DS0000063543.V344385.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 The care plans of four service users were looked at as part of case tracking. A requirement was made following the last visit regarding risk assessments for all the service users. Records seen indicated that risk assessments are undertaken and care plans put in place to demonstrate how these risks would be managed. These included manual handling, falls assessments and risk of choking for another person. Staff discussed that new system of care planning had been developed following the last visit. The care plans were detailed and included personal care, mobility, catheter care, diet such as pureed meal. For people identified as risk of falls and requiring bed rails. These were in place following consultation/ consent from either the resident or their next of kin. Risk assessments relating to skin integrity were in place and appropriate pressure relieving mattresses were put in place. A relative commented “ mum was provided with air mattress as soon as the staff realised she needed one.” The care plan seen for one of the people using the service regarding the treatment needed for his leg ulcer was in place. This was detailed and contained a record of dressing changed. As discussed the record should contain details of the wound/ evaluation in order to inform practice. The record of a newly admitted service user showed that no care plan had been formulated. This was discussed with staff and the manager as the detailed assessment available contained enough information for care plan to be commenced. The staff spoken with confirmed that this would be rectified. It was noted that care plans were not reviewed at least on a monthly basis to ensure that the changing needs of the people using the service are identified and appropriate action taken. Staff discussed that there were a number of people who were receiving a lot of nursing care and bed bound at the time of the visit and whose needs were constantly changing. The manager confirmed that this would be addressed with immediate effect. The manager reported that access to the community healthcare team was available. Although the GP did not visit weekly as in the majority of homes, he was available on request. The chiropodist visited on a monthly basis and dental care was available via Fareham dental clinic.

The pharmacy delivered the medication weekly. Tudor Lodge Nursing Home DS0000063543.V344385.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 It was noted that staff were only recording the medication received on the first week only and there were no records of medication for the subsequent three weeks. This was brought to the attention of the manager. The home has two different systems of recording medication received and the manager said she would be reviewing this to ensure that there is an easier audit trail. The medicine trolley contained loose medication for one person, and medication received on admission for several people were not recorded. The recording of medication from the pharmacy on the MAR sheet for medication that have not been requested or dispensed for that month must be reviewed as the record is inaccurate and indicated that this had been dispensed. The manager must ensure that all medication received at the home is recorded accurately and medication that are hand written on the MAR sheets by staff contain the dosage, frequency and times that these should be administered. It was noted that there were a number of dressings that were not managed appropriately. Some of the dressings seen had the name of the person that this had been prescribed for deleted on the box and others belonged to people who were no longer at the service. The manager must ensure that dressings are only used for the named person and those no longer required are returned according to the home’s policy. Comment cards received and 6 of the service users spoken with confirmed that the home provided a good service and they had autonomy and choice regarding the activities of daily living.
