What did we do for this annual service review? At the key inspection carried out on the 3rd May 2007 the home was found to have a overall three star excellent quality rating. In April 2007 the weekly fees ranged from £497.00 to £757.52. Additional services such as hairdressing, chiropody, and physiotherapy are available at an extra cost. The fees are reviewed every year in November. At this annual service review which was carried out on the 1st May 2009. 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. Two surveys returned to us by people using the service and three from health professionals. 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. What has this told us about the service? The home sent us their annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA), it was clear and 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 listen to the views of people who use the service and know what further improvements they need to make. They told us after listening to peoples views they have made the following changes, they have improved the menus and tried to include food from different cultures and have introduced daily newspapers. To make sure people are receiving the health care they need. They tell us they have trained the majority of staff of in the prevention of malnutrition, mental capacity, first aid, palliative care and infection control. In conjunction with Bradfrod and Airedale Primary Health Care Trust they have installed computers with broadband in the Nurses stations, they include the system one program for the Doctors and Nurses to use, to Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 access clients records. This enables the Doctors to change the records quickly. They have also installed prescription printers for the doctors to use. The comments made by two people living at the home were positive. Examples are:All the staff from the head nurse to the cleaner are fantastic. They are kind, caring and always have time for the patient. When we asked the health professionals what the home does well they told us:Very conscientious of patients needs. Very high level of care. I have no concerns about this aspect of care (privacy and dignity). Most of the patients I know are very dependent on nurses to administer medication, this appears to be done well. Staff generally appear very competent and interested in patients. Relaxed, caring environment. Staff welcome visiting professionals, listen to advice given and feedback any issues. Staff in charge always have been professional in their approach and maintained appropriate confidentiality. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection. They work well with us and have shown us that their service continues to provide good and excellent outcomes for the people who use it. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We are not going to change our inspection plan and we will do a key inspection by the 1st May 2010. However we can inspect the service at any time, to look at the quality of the service or the safety of the people using the service. Annual Service Review Page 5 of 6 Reader Information
