Annual Service Review Page 3 of 6 Service update since the last key inspection or annual service review:
What did we do for this annual service review? The quality rating for this care home is 3 stars, excellent. The quality rating was made at the last key inspection for this service on 26 January 2009. We looked at all the information that we have received, or asked for, since the last key inspection or annual service review. This included, The annual quality assurance assessment, called the 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. Surveys returned to us by people using the service and from other people with an interest there. Information we have about how the service has managed any complaints. What the service has told us about things that have happened there. These are called notifications and are a legal requirement. The previous key inspection and the results of any other visits that we have made for this service in the last 12 months. Relevant information from other organisations. 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) when we asked for it. It was clear and gave us all of the information we asked for. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgement is that the home is still providing an excellent service and that they know what further improvements they need to make. People living in the home always tell us that they are happy there. They are particularly pleased with the care and support they receive, the standard of food provided and the arrangements for activities. We received 13 surveys returns from people who use the service, 11 from peoples relatives and representatives and 8 from staff. All told us that the home does everying well and with no significant improvements needed. Comments we received included, They make me feel much at home. The staff look after me well and I am plese with the care and support they give me. The meals provided are very good. I am very well looked after and cannot fault anything. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 inspection and they have shown that they have managed issues well. They work well with us and have shown us that their service continues to provide overall excellent outcomes for the people who use it. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? The next inspection of this service will be based on the Fees and Frequencies Regulations 2007 and the assessment of risk of the service. Further clarity will become evident as the new registration and inspection system under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 is confirmed. However, we can inspect the home at any time if we have concerns about the quality of the service or the safety of people using it. Annual Service Review Page 5 of 6 Reader Information
