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.

It was clear and gave us all the information we asked for.

In their AQAA the home told us: We do the following to ensure that race, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, age, religion and belief are promoted and incorporated into what we do: We encourage the people who use our service to attend the daily mass and if they are unable to do so then individual communion can be delivered in their room. As services in the small church opposite arise, all people who use our service can view the services through their TV. All people who use our service are respected and treated accordingly. Staff understands that everyone should be respected and that each individual has differences. We have developed person centred care plans to make sure that residents individuality is. All dietary needs are met in the home according to religious or other requirements and preferences. We have an equality and diversity policy which is highlighted to all staff when they start employment. Staff undertake training including SoVA.
