The AQAA is a self assessment that focuses on how welloutcomes are being met for people using the service. It also gives us some statistical information about 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 carried out on 23rd August 2007. What has this told us about the service? The home sent us their (AQAA) when we asked for it. It gave us all the 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. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last annual service review. They work well with us and have shown us that their service continues to provide excellent outcomes for the people who live there. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review?
