What did we do for this annual service review? We looked at all the information 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 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. 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. The previous annual service review. What has this told us about the service? The home sent us their annual assurance assessment (AQAA) when we asked for it. It was detailed and gave us good information about the service. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgement is that the home is still providing a good person centred service and they know how they are going to make further improvements to the service. For example, in the AQAA, the manager said: We are planning to try and involve new support workers with the service users as sources of support for engaging in other interests/activities. Care records for the current service users need to be more detailed in their daily lives. We could encourage service users to attend local appointments by themselves to promote self belief and confidence. We could do better regarding the interior of the house and are trying to do this bit by bit. She also said they were going to try to support people to manage their own medication to give people who live at the home more confidence and a sense of responsibilty. They have good systems in place to make sure people who use the service have their views listened to and acted upon. In the AQAA, the manager said: Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 Adrian House holds regular house meetings with all our service users to obtain their views on how we are running the home. We also speak to each service user on a one to one basis for their views on their care to see if theres anything we can improve on. The manager told us that as a result of listening to what people want, the people who live at the home have changed their GP (General Practitioner) to one that is nearer the home and has a regualr GP and not locums. She said, The service users are very happy with this as they see a regular GP and are familiar with the centre and its facilities. We received comments from two people who use the service. They had been supported by their relatives to complete our survey. They were very positive about the service they receive. Their comments included: The meals are nice. Takes care of me. Quite pleased with the care given. My washing is done when I stay. Jane and her family are very nice people. Everyone is friendly. One person said they would like their bedroom decorating and would like the home to have SKY television. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection and have shown that they have managed issues well. This has included making referrals to other agencies for support. They work well with us and have shown us that their service continues to provide good outcomes for the people who use it. We have not received any concerns about the home in the last year. 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 August 2010. 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.
