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 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. (DataSet) *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. *Relevant information from other organisations. *What other people have told us about the service. *Surveys from people who live in the home and other people involved in their care. What has this told us about the service? At the last inspection the home was rated as a three star or excellent service. We received the annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) in March 2009. This provided detailed information about the service and how they had improved since the last inspection. The AQAA stated, we have a person centred approach to care and treat service users as unique individuals. Regular house meetings give them the opportunity to discuss the service they receive. Improvements noted over the past year included increasing the range of activities offered within the home to include a themed entertainer and sit and be fit exercises. Peoples rooms had been decorated and a structured maintenance programme was in place. Staff had accessed training in Dementia, Epilepsy and Nutrition. They had also attended training in the protection of adults and were scheduled to complete Mental Capacity Act training. The management were discussing with other relevant professionals the impact of the Mental Capacity Act and Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards on people living in the home and had acquired the necessary assessments. The AQAA indicated that staff have access to a NVQ programme. The AQAA indicated that a medication policy and procedure was in place complying with a requirement issued at the last inspection. It also stated that further improvements would include enhancing the quality assurance systems. This would meet the second of three requirements issued. Surveys were received from three people who live in the home, one relative and two members of staff. People said they were happy living at the home and that the home did absolutely everything well. The relative commented, great care and attention is given to give my daughter a happy and contented life and The Padova has such high standards it would be difficult to improve on this. Staff confirmed that people are integrated into the community and that people do lots of activities. They also said the manager was very hands on and approachable. We have not received any notifications from the home this year. The DataSet stated Annual Service Review Page 3 of 5 the home had not received any complaints. We (CSCI) had not received any expressions of concern or complaints. People living in the home said that they knew how to make a complaint. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We think the quality of this service has remained the same. We will do a key inspection by 13/05/2011. We can however inspect the home at any time if we have concerns about the quality of the service or the safety of people living at the home. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 5 Reader Information
