In February 2023, a resident was admitted to Anchorstone with delirium pathway. She suffered confusion and on one occasion reached out to another resident who is not able to stand up. Regrettably, both of them ended up on the floor and one suffered a skin tear on the leg. Our nurses kept a close eye on the wound and also refered her to TVN for further assessment as the resident was not settled and not willing to rest the legs. This affected the wound. We informed GP, CMHT and DN. All actions are recorded. TVN was not able to come for assessment due to a car accident. However, our local DN assisted with wound care. Since moving from Anchorstone, it is unfortunate to hear of the inability to mobilise and requiring a hip operation. It must be noted that the accident/incident requiring hip operation/replacement happened after moving away from Anchorstone.
Our resident was at the home for a trial period which was not extended. Our staff provide excellent care and this is recorded by CQC this year.
