Annual Service Review Page 3 of 6 Service update since the last key inspection or annual service review:
What did we do for this annual service review? We carried out a Key Inspection of this service on 16th March 2009 where the home was assessed as providing GOOD quality outcomes for the people who live there. As a result of Safeguarding allegations we carried out a Random Inspection of the service on 28th January 2010. We left the service with four immediate requirements to improve. On 22nd February 2010 we carried out another Random Inspection of the service to check if these requirements had been met. During this visit we identified that the service had met with all of the requirements. We looked at all of the information that we have received, or asked for, since the last key inspection. 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 who use the service. It also gave us some numerical information about the service. What the service has told us about things that have happened in the service. These are called notifications and are a legal requirement. Any information we have received about the service such as concerns, complaints and Safeguarding referrals. What has this told us about the service? The AQAA is comprehensive and provides us with detailed information about how the service meets the needs of people. The AQAA also tells us about the changes and improvements the service has made and how they intend to continue to improve and develop. The service continues to send notifications of deaths, untoward incidents and accidents resulting in serious injuries in the form of Regulation 37 reports. However we have had to make an immediate requirement around this as the service were not always sending these through to us in respect of serious injuries. We have been involved with one Safeguarding referral since the last Key Inspection. As highlighted above, we carried out two random inspections of Aynsley unit as a direct result of this Safeguarding referral. The service have taken these allegations seriously and have made some improvements to their systems and procedures as a result of this. During our recent random inspection of the service we spoke with a number of visitors to Aynsley unit. All of these visitors were very complimentary about the staff, the unit manager and the care provided to their relatives. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 We have recently received a copy of a complaint from a relative of a person who was accommodated in Aynsley unit. This complaint is being addressed by the service in line with their own complaints procedure. We are satisfied that the service will carry out a full investigation of the issues contained in this complaint. The service has taken the recent allegations and complaint seriously and made improvements to the outcomes for the people who live in the home. This, plus other information we have received about the service tells us that the home is continuing to provide GOOD outcomes for the people who live there. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We are not going to change our inspection plan. 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.
