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 undertaken in March 2009. 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 Other information that may have been received by the Commission What has this told us about the service? Our judgement is that the home is still providing an excellent service and they know what further improvements they need to make. At our last key inspection in March of this year, people told us that that their relatives were well cared for and happy and that carers were good and patient. A new manager has very recently started at the service and she told us that the home is being decorated throughout and that a new managers office is being built in the reception area. Also that she is in the process of developing the staff training programme for next year. The service has continued to advise us of any issues at the home, and at this date there have not been any safeguarding referrals or complaints received by the Commission. The service has shown us that their service continues to provide excellent outcomes for the people who use it. We would recommend that the service consults the Commissions website to ensure that it is fully aware of the new registration regime which will come into effect during 2010. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We are not going to change our inspection plan, and will do an unannounced key inspection by the end of February 2012. However, we can inspect the service at any time if we have any concerns about the quality of the service or the health and safety of people using the service.
