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. This was looked at and the information provided taken into account. The AQAA is a self-assessment that informs us about outcomes for people who use the service. As well as other information, it also tells us what the service has done within the previous 12 months, what they think they are doing well and how they could develop and their plans to do so in the next 12 months. Surveys were provided to people who use the service and staff that worked for the service. We looked at information we have about how the service has managed any complaints. We considered what the service has told us about things that have happened in the service. These are called notifications and are a legal requirement. We looked at the history of the service by reflecting on previous inspection outcomes. Any other relevant information from other organisations was considered along with what other people have told us about the service. What has this told us about the service? The home sent us their AQAA. The information provided was quite limited so we telephoned the manager to discuss this and explained the importance of giving us details about the home, which would show us they were able to make their own assessment of how well they were delivering the service, that they could identify any shortfalls and plan to address them and continue to make improvements. During our conversation the manager provided additional information to demonstrate that the requirements we made at our last inspection had been met and the recommendations we had made had been acted on. Five surveys were returned by people living at the home. These confirmed that people were satisfied with the overall quality of care provided. People said they always got the personal care, medical care and support they needed and staff always listened and acted on what they said. Comments included I love living here. Staff are very kind. When asked what the home did well one person wrote Everything within reason. We have received no complaints about the home and all 5 people that returned surveys confirmed that they knew how to make a complaint should they need to. Four staff also returned surveys. They all confirmed that checks had been made before they started working at the home to make sure they were suitable to work in a care setting and that they received training that was relevant to the jobs they did. In the AQAA the manager reported that 73 of care staff had successfully completed National Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 Vocational Qualifications (NVQ). Looking at all the evidence available to us, our judgment is that there is no reason to change the current rating of the home. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? The Care Quality Commission will continue to monitor information about this service and will carry out an inspection when required. Annual Service Review Page 5 of 6 Reader Information
