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. 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 should also give us some numerical information (DataSet) 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 other visits that we have made to the service in the last 12 months. Relevant information from other organizations. What other people have told us about the service. What has this told us about the service? The service has continued to provide a good standard of care and support to the people living in the home. The Commission received positive feedback from outside professionals involved with the home and from members of the staff team. The Commission has received no complaints or expressed concerns in respect of this service. The registered manager has completed and supplied a detailed AQAA outlining some future plans for the home. During the past year one person has moved on to new accommodation but is still supported by the same Provider. The service is considering, through assessments and planning, whether other moves can be accommodated for another person living in the home which will better meet some identified aspirations. There is currently only one person living in the home but assessments are being completed on three other people who may move into the service in 2010. The service has maintained a consistent staff team with little turnover in the past twelve months. The service has kept the Commission informed of any notifiable incidents through the regulation 37 process. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? The Commission will complete a key inspection of this service within the next twelve months Annual Service Review Page 4 of 5 Reader Information
