Annual Service Review Page 2 of 4 Service update since the last key inspection or annual service review:
What did we do for this annual service review? We looked at the information the service sent us in the Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA) document. We looked at the information the service has sent us since the last key inspection. These are called notifications and are a legal requirement. We reviewed the previous key inspection and the results of any other visits that we have made to the service in the last 12 months. We considered relevant information from other organisations. What other people have told us about the service. What has this told us about the service? The information contained within the AQAA showed us that the manager of the service has a good understanding of how a care home should be managed. She is aware of the work that is needed to ensure outcomes for people living in the home are at least good. There is a good awareness of quality assurance and the need to monitor and improve the care provided in the home. We have not received any surveys from people who use the service at this point. If we receive any information that suggests there are some concerns about the quality of the care provided we may alter our plans for inspection. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We plan to carry out a key inspection 9 September 2010. We will continue to collect information from stakeholders who are involved with the agency. This information may change our plans for inspecting this service.
