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. Information from 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 and what other people have told us about the service. What has this told us about the service? The service sent us their annual quality assurance assessment AQAA when we asked for it. It was clear and gave us all the information we asked for. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgement is that the service is still providing a good service and that they know what further improvements they need to make. The service continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection, no complaint have been received by the CQC since the last inspection with regard to this service. People who love at the home are unable to complete surveys but they have indicated in the past with the help of carers or advocates that they like living at the home and they feel well cared for. Staff have previously told us that they fell well supported by the management of the home and that they receive good training about the needs of the people they care for. Previous inspections have told us that there are well planned activities for the people who live at the home and there is the right amount of staff on duty to meet peoples needs. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 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 20th 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
