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 may include: 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 all the information we asked for. A summary within the AQAA section, how we have improved in the last twelve months states: We have enabled one client to move into independent living, found a work placement for two clients, developed greater relationships with outside agencies, won outstanding achiever of the year award, maintained excellent staff retention, nominated for second year running in the dignity in care award, received an excellent rating following Middlesbrough Councils service review report, received a 3 star rating with CQC, received a 5 star food hygiene rating. What we could do better and how we will do this: Continue to search for meaningful activities for our client group, continue to search for paid employment for our clients, liaise with education centres, as a client wants to participate in drama or backstage work. Develop an information book what is a mental illness with support from our clients. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgment is that the home knows what further improvements they need to make. We looked at the way in which the service manages complaints. The home has not received any complaints in the last twelve months. In the last key inspection dated 19th November 2008, there were no requirements or recommendations made. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection and they have shown us that they have Annual Service Review Page 3 of 5 managed issues well.
