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 includes 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. 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 home sent us their annual quality assurance assessment AQAA when we asked for it. It was clear and gave us all the information we asked for. It had been completed by the senior staff of the service. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgement is that the home is still providing a good service. As the AQAA states the ethos of the home is promote to individuality, freedom of choice and a basic right to lead full active lives for as long as possible, with suggestions from residents, relatives and staff implemented if they will improve the daily life and social activities at Fourways. The last inspection recommended that a system to keep residents doors open safey be introduced, and the AQAA confirmed that thius has been addressed. The home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last inspection. 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 unannounced inspection by 12th February 2011. 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.
