There is a policy and process that describe resident’s admission and assessment procedures. A registered nurse undertakes the assessments on admission, with the initial RN assessment completed within 24 hours of admission. An initial care plan is also completed on admission. The admission information, medical notes, allied health notes, progress notes, staff input, resident and family input form the basis of the long term care plan developed within three weeks of admission. The activities assessment is competed within two weeks of admission. Medical assessments are completed within 48 hours of admission by the GP in all six resident files sampled. The GP examines the resident at least three monthly and records the resident as stable to be seen again in three months. Earlier reviews are evident for residents requiring more frequent monitoring. Residents retain their own GP's and there are a number of GP's that provide medical services. There is a 0800 after hours RN who triages the call and makes contact with the on call GP to phone or visit the facility. A range of assessment tools completed on admission are evident in the six resident files sampled. Including (but not limited to); a) admission and food and nutrition information b) Braden pressure area risk assessment, c) continence assessment d) coombes fall risk assessment e) mobility support guide f) pain scale assessment g) Robinsons resident acuity assessment There is a verbal handover between shifts and written handover sheet with resident significant events documented. Daily progress notes are maintained. A stamp "resident checked two hourly and safe" is used in progress notes where applicable and signed. All six files identified integration of allied health professionals including GP medical notes, podiatry notes, letters and referrals to other allied health professionals and specialists. The palliative care team at the Ashburton hospital are readily accessible for resources and support for palliative and end of life care and advice. D16.2, 3, 4: The six resident files reviewed identified that in all six files a nursing assessment was completed within 24 hours and the long term care plan was completed within three weeks. There is documented evidence in six resident files sampled that the care plans are reviewed by an RN at least six monthly or earlier if resident health changes are completed. Five resident files sampled evidenced written evaluations are completed at least six monthly. One residents had not been in the service long enough for a review to have been completed. D16.5e: Six resident files reviewed identified that the GP had seen the resident within two working days. It was noted in resident files reviewed that the GP has assessed the resident three monthly and records the resident as stable and to be seen 3 monthly. More frequent examination occurs when a resident health status changes.

Residents and relatives interviewed state the residents needs are being met and they are receiving appropriate clinical and medical care. D18.3 and 4 Dressing supplies are available and a treatment room is stocked for use.Continence products are available (sighted) and resident files include a urinary continence assessment, bowel management, and continence products allocation for day and night use. Nurse specialist continence advice is available as needed and the RN could describe the referral process. Male catheterisations are carried out by medical staff at the Ashburton hospital. The RN's and health care assistants have attended continence education.Wound assessment and wound management plan and wound dressing application records are in place for the one open wound on lower leg that has recently healed. There is evidence of ongoing evaluations and photographs. Short term care plans are used for minor abrasions and skin tears. The Registered Nurse interviewed described the referral process should they require assistance from the practice nurses or wound care specialist. Pain assessments are completed on admission for residents with identified pain, new pain episodes or exacerbation of chronic pain. The pain assessments are reviewed at least six monthly for all residents prescribed pain relief. The effectiveness of pain relief is written into the progress notes. Monitoring forms sighted include blood sugar levels, neurological observations, weight monitoring, blood pressure and pulse. RN's fax the GPs regarding changes in resident health status, suspected infections, new admission, medication requests and these are filed in the resident files.
