What did we do for this annual service review? This quality rating for this service is 2 star. People who use this service experience good quality outcomes. The rating was made on 23rd February 2009 following a key inspection. We looked at all the information that we 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. 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. What the service has told us about things that have happened in the home, these are called notifications and are a legal requirement. The previous inspection. 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. We looked at the information in the AQAA and our judgement is that the home is still providing a good service and they know of the further improvements they need to make. The provider stated in the AQAA We continue to look for ways to improve the service we provide. We apply a best practice approach and develop good communication links with every one. We received completed surveys from five people who use the service. They were all satisfied with the care given and service provided. Three of the people said they were happy with the activities available in the home. One comment was The home looks after its residents very very well. Every need is catered for from personal hygiene to christmas shopping, church services to car boot sales. Another person said The food is very varied and cooked to a high standard. A person commented The home seems to do everything well. They have activities to help the residents. Everyone is always happy and able to help with any problems. A relative commented that the home is a lovely place for her family member to spend their last years. They are safe, secure and well cared for, and seems happy and content. People who completed the surveys could not think of anything, when asked what could the home do better. Annual Service Review Page 3 of 5 We also received six completed surveys from staff who work in the home. They all felt they received lots of training, to enable them to do their job better. Staff said they were participating in the Gold Standard Framework to give people palliative care. They all said the home is friendly, home from home and the dignity and privacy of the residents is respected. They felt well supported by management. 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 21st 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. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 5 Reader Information
