The Mayfield DS0000017548.V365963.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 12 medication, personal care, etc. Residents and relatives spoken to confirm that they know about their care plan and are involved in the review process. Previous care plan folders did not include the picture of the person; all care plans viewed during this inspection included a picture. Residents are registered with their own General Practitioner, who will visit the home if required. We viewed falls assessments and risk of pressure sore assessments. The manager told us that none of the residents at the home have pressure sores and we noted that previous pressure sores have healed. The home has good relationships with the community nursing team who visit and treat pressure sores when required. Outcomes and actions from visits by health care professionals are clearly recorded. A dentist and optician regularly visit the home. Peoples’ weight is regular monitored, the manager told us that this helps the home to see if anything is wrong with the person and health issues can be addressed quickly by health care professionals. We noted that one person who recently moved in to the home has not been included in the foot and nail care list. She was however visited by the chiropodist on 13/08/08. One of the surveys received informed us that the care received is excellent and a relative is happy with the care provided by the home. Staff have received in-house manual handling training using a DVD provided by a national training provider. The manager and operation manager assess staff’s competence after they viewed the DVD. We checked medications for three people using the service, all Medication Administration Sheets were complete and allergies were recorded. A signatory list of staff competent administering medication is in place. Liquid medication is signed and Royal Pharmaceutical Society guidance is followed. The home does currently not store any controlled drugs. When checking blister packs we noted in one blister pack three Paracetamol tablets on Saturday of week one; there should only be two Paracetamol tablets. The manager told us that staff check medication when delivered by the pharmacist, which was confirmed by the signature on the Medication Administration Sheet. We informed the manager that she should contact the dispensing pharmacist and inform him of the mistake. Residents spoken to confirmed that staff treats them with respect and personal care is provided privately. During this inspection we observed staff interacting with residents professionally and support provided by staff seemed naturally. For example one person was sitting on her chair and the blanket fell off and staff asked the resident if she would like to be covered again.

Residents told us that the home does not have the necessary equipment such as working pens and score cards for these sessions. Staff confirmed that there is a lack of activities in the home and told us that it was much better when the home had an activity co-ordinator employed. Residents told us that staff sit down with some residents to play cards, this is not planned and happens if staff have time and are available. We discussed this in
The Mayfield DS0000017548.V365963.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 14 detail with the manager and operation manager, who informed us that they are aware of this and currently looking into ways of improving this. Previously the home was using the second lounge for residents from Asian background. The home had a shrine in that lounge, which allows residents to pray. The shrine has been removed. We spoke to one Asian elder who was in the past looking after the shrine; she informed us that she does not mind that the shrine has been removed. We think the home should ask all Asian residents if they would like second lounge for their use and want to have an area to do their prayers.

Two residents invited us to view their room, the rooms were nicely decorated and personal pictures and ornaments were displayed. We were invited by residents to join them for lunch. The home provides Asian and English dishes for residents to choose from. During the day of this inspection lunch consisted of Gammon, potatoes and vegetable, and rice, dhal, etc. Residents told us that they are happy with the food and can choose from two different meals, if they don’t like the meals offered they could ask the home to prepare a separate dish. We sampled the Asian lunch during this inspection, which was nicely presented and very tasty. The Mayfield DS0000017548.V365963.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 15 Complaints and Protection
