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. The previous key inspection and the results of any 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. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgment is that the home is still providing a good service and that they know what further improvements they may need to make. We sent surveys to people who use the service and to people who have an interest in the service and received surveys from two social and health professionals, four staff and seven people who live at Barons Park. People living in the home tell us that they are happy there. People said that they were well cared for and were looked after like family. Staff said that they delivered person centered care and that the home was well run with a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. They said hat they were well trained and that food was exceptional. One person commented that it would be nice to have a few more outings in the summer for people who lived in the home. A local GP said that the home provides a good caring service to people with complex mental and physical conditions and keep up the good work. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 A social worker said that the staff were excellent communicators and provided good personalised care. CQC have not received any complaints about the service. They continue to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection in February 2009 when the service was rated a 2 star good service, and they have shown that they have managed issues well. They work well with us and have shown that their service continues to provide good outcomes for the people who use it. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? The next inspection of this service will be based on the Fees and Frequency Regulations 2007 and the assessment of risk of the service. Further clarity will become evident as the new registration and inspection system under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 is confirmed. Annual Service Review Page 5 of 6 Reader Information
