What did we do for this annual service review? We looked at all the information that we have received, or asked for, since the last key inspection or annual service review. This included The annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) that was sent to us by the service. The AQAA is a self-assessment that focuses on how well outcomes are being met for people using the service. It also gave us some numerical information about the service. Surveys returned to us by people using the service and from other people with an interest in the service. Information we have about how the service has managed any complaints. What the service has told us about things that have happened in the service, these are called notifications and are a legal requirement. The previous key inspection and the results of any other visits that we have made to the service in the last 12 months Relevant information from other organisations. What other people have told us about the service. What has this told us about the service? The home sent us their annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) when we asked for it. It was clear and gave us the main information we asked for. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgement is that the home is still providing an excellent service and that they know what further improvements they need to make. One resident completed a survey for us. They told us the home is fresh and clean, and staff are always available to provide the care and support they need. They commented, The staff keep the home a happy place by remembering birthdays and holidays when we all get together for special meals. Two relatives also completed surveys to us. Both praised all or most aspects of the home and the following comments were made: I have peace of mind seeing how loved, cared for, and settled my relative is. The staff always have a listening ear. Kind, caring staff team. A family, working together, to both my relative and myself. They obviously look after their staff as there is not a huge turnover. Most staff are the same as three years ago which gives continuity and you get to know them. The home runs efficiently and the residents seem content. I find Enderby Grange excellent. I cannot thank them enough. Records show that since the last key inspection many improvements have been made to the home. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 We had asked for a notice to be put up reminding residents and visitors that they can use the chapel at any time and just to need to ask a member of staff for the key. This has been done, with one notice in reception and one on the chapel door. In addition, a notice advertising items for sale in the homes shop (including greeting cards, stamps, sweets, toiletries, etc) has been put up. This also explains that if anyone wishes to purchase items they can ask a member of staff who will be willing to assist them. Staff have produced a booklet called Visiting Loved Ones who have Dementia. This is given to relatives and friends (where relevant) to explain the changes they might see in the person they are coming to see. It contains advice on interaction with them, joining in with meals and activities, and Coping with Behaviour We find Difficult. The Gold Standards Framework has been adopted by the home to ensure that residents receive a Gold Standard of care at the end of their lives The activities programme has been further improved, with a visiting tutor now providing monthly exercise classes and music therapy. However two relatives thought more could be done. One said they believed residents would enjoy listening to music more often, and the other thought trips out should be provided. Consideration should be given to these suggestions. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection and they have shown that they have managed issues well. They work well with us and have shown us that their service continues to provide good outcomes for the people who use it. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We are not going to change our inspection plan, and will do a key inspection by 8 January 2011. However we can inspect the service at any time if we have concerns about the quality of the service or the safety of the people using the service. Annual Service Review Page 5 of 6 Reader Information
