The care records of three people were reviewed, and the records of the last three members of staff employed, including recruitment and training records. We discussed food with people using the service, and observed lunch being served. Choices were available at lunchtime and identified on the menu. We also looked at the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) this is a self assessment tool, and had been well completed, and sent to us prior to the key Inspection. Completion of the AQAA is a legal requirement and it enables the service to undertake a self assessment, which focuses on how well outcomes are being met for people using the service.

These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People are confident that the care home can support them. This is because there is an accurate assessment of their needs that they, or people close to them, have been involved in. This tells the home all about them and the support they need. People who stay at the home only for intermediate care, have a clear assessment that includes a plan on what they hope for and want to achieve when they return home. People can decide whether the care home can meet their support and accommodation needs. This is because they, or people close to them, have been able to visit the home and have got full, clear, accurate and up to date information about the home. If they decide to stay in the home they know about their rights and responsibilities because there is an easy to understand contract or statement of terms and conditions between them and the care home that includes how much they will pay and what the home provides for the money. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. People who wish to use the service and their relatives, have the information they need to make an informed choice about living at the home. Evidence: The AQAA we received prior to the inspection told us that The service have just re introduced an updated version of the statement of purpose and service users guides. Now included is a front page which picturally informs the reader who their keyworker is, and which Care Shift Leader is over seeing their care. The service are currently working on a Polish version for our Polish resident as well as a audio version later in the year. All new admissions to the home are assessed via the social worker teams. The home will produce its own care plan and risk assessments, based on the information from the social worker and staff team. We continue to assess our residents needs every week during their first six weeks, to ensure we are meeting their needs and that they are happy with the service on offer within the home. Care Homes for Older People Page 10 of 26 Evidence: We looked at the records of the last three people admitted to Meadowyrthe, that told us they or their relatives had previously visited the home. In some cases respite stays had been experienced and influenced decisions to move into the home. We talked to the relative of a recently admitted person who was very happy that their relative was at the home, and that they had settled in so well. This person confirmed that they had received information about the service offered at Meadowyrthe prior to making a decision. We saw the homes Statement of Purpose and Service Users Guide that have been updated and provide detailed information for people wishing to use the service. The Service User Guide contains the fees charged, as does the contract. We looked at the care records of the last three people admitted to the home, records contained detailed information that was used as part of the assessment process. We saw that an interpreter had been accessed to assist the staff and a Polish lady with communication on a daily basis, this person is still working with the lady and staff at the home. We saw that risk assessments were in place on peoples care records. This means that peoples needs had been assessed, and the home was satisfied it could meet those needs. Meadowyrthe does not provide intermediate care. We had received no surveys at the time of this inspection. Care Homes for Older People Page 11 of 26 Health and personal care
These are the outcomes that people staying in care homes should experience. They reflect the things that people have said are important to them: People’s health, personal and social care needs are met. The home has a plan of care that the person, or someone close to them, has been involved in making. If they take medicine, they manage it themselves if they can. If they cannot manage their medicine, the care home supports them with it, in a safe way. People’s right to privacy is respected and the support they get from staff is given in a way that maintains their dignity. If people are approaching the end of their life, the care home will respect their choices and help them feel comfortable and secure. They, and people close to them, are reassured that their death will be handled with sensitivity, dignity and respect, and take account of their spiritual and cultural wishes. This is what people staying in this care home experience: Judgement: People using this service experience good quality outcomes in this area. We have made this judgement using a range of evidence, including a visit to this service. The health and personal care needs of people using the service are met: personal care is delivered in the way the individual wishes. Evidence: The AQAA we received prior to the inspection told us that The service had recently updated individual care plans, they are more person centred and the format is now easier to follow. There are clear sections for monitoring and recording information, the care plan and risk assessment can be found in the front of each file, to ensure they are read and being followed by the staff team. Each file is being audited by the Keyworker and Care Shift Leader each month, this is followed by a six monthly review by the social worker. Medical care is undertaken by visiting professionals such as district nurses, CPNs, G.Ps Chiropodists. All people will be offered the opportunity to receive the flu vaccine and Staffordshire County Council has a contingency plan for pandemic flu. All medication is administered by a Care Shift Leader or Manager, all long stay residents medication is administered using the MDS blister system and supplied by our local Pharmacist.

We looked at the care records of the last three people admitted to the service. Care plans have been updated and are continually reviewed to identify where they can be further improved. Information was detailed and up to date, clearly identifying areas of need. We saw that the care plan of a Polish lady was in Polish and translated into English. We saw health care records that told us regular health checks take place, and identify that medical professionals visit the home. The rapid response nurse visited during this inspection. We saw that people have received the flu vaccine, and that the service has a pandemic flu contingency plan in place. We saw that risk assessments were in place for areas of daily living activity. All risk assessments are reviewed on a regular basis. We saw that all medication is administered by two senior staff, that have been trained in the management of medication. We looked at medication administration sheets, these were being signed as medication was administered, and were up to date. We observed throughout this inspection staff promoting the privacy and dignity of the people using the service. We have received no surveys at the time of this inspection.

We saw that a daily activities programme is displayed in various areas of the home. The planned activities were not taking place in some areas, and had been substituted with activities that people in those areas wanted to do. We saw that all activities and socialisation are recorded on a daily basis in the daily activities book, along with pictures and photographs.
Care Homes for Older People Page 14 of 26 Evidence: We talked to the manager, and staff, who told us that they want to further develop the activities for people with dementia. We saw that an interpreter was visiting the home daily to assist with communication between a Polish person and the staff. A list of key words are being developed to assist staff with communication. The person understands english but does not speak it well, body language and gestures are used with key words to communicate.

Two soft food diets were also provided. We saw food being served, this was nicely presented and portions were generous.
