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? 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 (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 also gave us some numerical information 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 organisations. What other people have told us about the service. What has this told us about the service? The CQC did not have an up to date annual quality assurance assessment AQAA for the service. However the Registered Manager was contacted by telephone on the 20th Novemeber 2009 and confimed that the recommendations issued as a result of the last key inspection have been met. These were in relation to ensuring incidents of notice are reported to the relevant body in a timely manner. The Registered Manager has ensured that the historical information kept in service users care plans is removed and stored securely, and that all risks including historical ones are included in, or made mention to in the current risk assessments. In addition it was also highlighted that the Registered Manager should ensure continued work is done to encouraging residents to become involved in activities on offer both within the home and the community such as education, and where appropriate, employment opportunities. Service users agreement to involvement with household chores should be recorded individually. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key 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 good outcomes for the people who use it. 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 a key inspection by 4th March 2012. However we can inspect the service at any time if we have concerns about the quality of the service or the safety of the people using the service.
