The annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) that was sent to us by the manager. The AQAA is a self-assessment that focuses on how well outcomes are being met for the people using the service. It also gave us some numerical information about the service. 2.The previous key inspection report and the result of any other visits that we have made to the service in the last 12 months. 3. We spoke with the manager to see if there were any pending concerns or changes. 4.Information we have about how the service has managed any complaints. 5.What the service has told us about things that have happened. These are called notifications. 6.Relevant information from other organisations. 7.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), which was clear and gave us information about what they are doing now and what they want to do in the future. The AQAA told us The manager and staff have regular meetings with the people using the service. This gives people the opportunity to express their wishes. The home work closely with other health-care professionals who can help ensure the service develops according to the individual residents wishes and needs. Each person living in the home has an individual activity plan to ensure peoples choices likes, dislikes and preferences are clear with what they want to do in their life. Detailed assessments are completed and individual care plans to ensure that people living in the home receive appropriate support. Each resident is treated as an individual and their individual preferences are recorded and monitored. There are clear guidelines detailing the procedure for assessing a prospective residents to life in the home.

During the last 12 months the services found the following issues that have made it hard for the service to improve as much as they would like. The learning disability service went through significant changes in the latter part of last year with 50 of the home having closed. The home has managed to retain many of the original staff team which has provided continuity of care. From the information received it is clear that the service continues to monitor their progress and implement systems to ensure the service is run in the best interest of the people who use it.
