Two bedrooms in one unit can be used as double rooms. On the day of the audit there were 22 residents. The facility is privately owned. A clinical nurse manager and business facility manager are responsible for the daily operation of the facility. They are supported by a quality coordinator and full-time registered nurse. This unannounced surveillance audit was conducted against a sub-set of the relevant Health and Disability Standards and the contract with the district health board. The audit process included the review of policies and procedures, the review of residents’ and staff files, observations, and interviews with family, general practitioner, management and staff. The relatives and general practitioner spoke positively about the care and support provided at Wimbledon Villa.The service has addressed ten of ten shortfalls from the previous certification audit around corrective action plans, essential notifications, timely incident reporting, training requirements, dietitian referrals, assessments, weight loss interventions, evaluations, medication charts and medical equipment calibrations. This surveillance audit identified improvements are required around staff orientation, documented intervention for medical conditions and standing orders. Outcome 1.1: Consumer RightsThere is an open disclosure policy, which describes ways that information is provided to residents and families/next of kin at entry to the service continually, and as required. A system for managing complaints is in place and there is evidence of follow up. The rights of the resident and/or their family to make a complaint is understood, respected and upheld by the service. Outcome 1.2: Organisational ManagementWimbledon Villa has a current business plan and a quality assurance and risk management programme that outlines objectives for 2015 to 2016.There is an established quality system in place. Quality information is reported to monthly staff/quality meetings, weekly team management meetings and to the owner. There is a reporting process being used to record and manage resident incidents. There is an annual in-service training programme that has been implemented for the year and staff are supported to undertake external training. The service has a documented rationale for determining staffing and caregivers, residents and family members report staffing levels are sufficient to meet resident needs.Outcome 1.3: Continuum of Service DeliveryThe registered nurse is responsible for each stage of service provision. The registered nurse assesses, plans and reviews residents' needs, outcomes and goals with the resident (as appropriate) and/or family input. InterRAI assessments are in place for all residents. Resident files included medical notes and visiting allied health professionals.The activities coordinator provides an activities programme for the residents that is varied, interesting and involves the families and community. Residents have an individualised activity plan developed on admission that is reviewed six monthly. The service uses an electronic medication system.

Outcome 2: Restraint Minimisation and Safe PracticeRestraint policy and procedures are in place. The definitions of restraints and enablers are congruent with the definition in the restraint minimisation standard. The service had no residents using an enabler or restraint. Staff receive education and training in restraint minimisation, dementia care and managing challenging behaviours. Outcome 3: Infection Prevention and ControlThe clinical nurse manager is the infection control coordinator. A surveillance policy describes the surveillance methods and infection events.

The full-time RN is InterRAI trained. All residents admitted after 1 July 2015 have had an InterRAI assessment completed. Residents have an InterRAI assessment completed six monthly as their care plan review falls due. The long-term care plans reviewed had been evaluated six monthly or earlier with changes in health condition. The general practitioners (GP) have seen their residents within two working days of admission and complete three monthly medical reviews. Residents retain their own GP. There is evidence of visits at other times for resident concerns. There is a local on-call GP roster until 10pm and then the emergency department after 10pm. The GP interviewed commented very positively on the service and care at Wimbledon Villa. There is close liaison and consultation between allied health professionals and the RN/management team. Elder Health, needs assessment service and dementia care nurse specialist services are readily available. All files identified integration of allied health and a team approach was evident. A physiotherapist is available by referral. There was evidence of a dietitian referral in one file for a resident with unintentional weight loss, and includes dietitian notes and dietary recommendations, which have been implemented. The previous finding around dietitian referrals has been addressed. Care staff interviewed could describe a verbal and written handover that maintains a continuity of service delivery. Progress notes are maintained on every shift.Tracer Methodology - Dementia care resident: The resident has dementia and a chronic medical condition. The resident file, long-term care plan, behaviour assessment, progress notes, medical notes, medication chart and incident form were reviewed. The relative, clinical nurse manager, care staff and activity coordinator were interviewed. The staff interviewed were able to describe the resident’s behaviours, triggers, interventions and activities to de-escalate/manage the behaviours over the 24 hour period. The use of ‘as required’ medication had been monitored by the clinical nurse manager and GP. The long-term care plan had been updated to reflect recent behaviours as documented on the incident form and in progress notes. There were documented interventions for the management of the chronic condition.
