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, which was carried out in July 2008 and 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. We looked at Information we have received 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 home sent us their annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) when we asked for it, however the AQAA was not well completed and did provide us with full information. The person who completed the AQAA did not not address the questions asked about the specific key standards, for example when asked about the choice of the home, there was no mention of the Needs Assessment process or whether the home provides intermediate care and these are considered to be key standards. The home provided some informationon about what they have achieved since the last key inspection and they told us that they have redecorated the lounge, hallway, and eight service users bedrooms and they told us that they have also improved the grounds of the home. The home has also indentified areas where they could do better and told us what they intend to do to improve the service and they told us that they intend to improve by restoring the original entrance hall and they intend to continue with the refurbishment of the service users bedrooms The last key inspection and the AQAA shows that the home has policies and procedures available for residents regarding complaints and the AQAA told us that the home has not received any complaints since the last inspection of the service. We sent out suervys to 10 service users, 10 members of staff, 3 health care professional and 3 care manager, however at the time of writing this report no surveys had been received back. The home continues to let us know about things that have Annual Service Review Page 4 of 6 happened since our last key inspection and they have shown us that they have been appropriately managed. Having looked at the homes completed AQAA and from the information we had available our judgement is that the home is still providing a Good service. 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 the 27 July 2010. 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. Annual Service Review Page 5 of 6 Reader Information
