Positive HIQA report for Roseville in Bray
NURSING HOME WAS COMPLIANT IN ALL AREAS
ROSEVILLE Nursing Home on Bray’s Meath Road was found to be compliant in all categories, after an unannounced HIQA inspection which took place over two days last November.
The report was published by the body last week. The type of inspection was to do specifically with the care of residents who have dementia.
Roseville was compliant in all six categories including safety, health and social care, staffing, rights and dignity of residents, complaints procedures, and premises.
This centre is a converted former Georgian house which provides residential care for 30 people. Approximately 45 per cent of residents have dementia.
Each resident was assessed prior to admission to ensure the service could meet their needs and to determine the suitability of the placement. Following admission, residents had a comprehensive assessment undertaken and care plans were in place to meet their assessed needs, the report found.
The inspector was satisfied that each resident’s well-being and welfare was maintained by a high standard of nursing care and appropriate medical and allied health care. Some improvement was required to care planning documentation to ensure that it contained sufficient detail to guide practice for residents with dementia.
Some improvement was also required in medication manage- ment. Safe and appropriate levels of supervision were in place to maintain residents’ safety. Measures were in place to protect residents from harm or suffering abuse and to respond to allegations, disclosures and suspicions of abuse.
The overall use of restraint remained low but adequate guidance regarding care when restraint was in use was not included in the care plans. On the days of inspection, there was appropriate staff numbers and skill mix to meet the assessed needs of residents. Some improvement was required to ensure staff files were complete. The professional development of staff was promoted with an emphasis on training including dementia care. The inspector found that residents’ privacy and dignity were respected and that residents were enabled to make choices about how to live their lives. Some improvement was required to ensure consistent meaningful engagement by staff.
