The home is situated in the town of Midsomer Norton, approximately eight miles from Bath City Centre and the town of Frome. This home provides a specialist service for adults aged between 18 and 30 who are on the Autistic Spectrum. Each person who lives in the home will have already achieved a degree of skill reflecting their ability to live semi-supported in the community. A move to this service will be part of a planned programme of support to more independent living arrangements. The home is a large detached property, with a garden and car parking Annual Service Review Page 2 of 5 spaces to the rear. There are four bedrooms, one on the ground floor and three on the first floor. None of the bedrooms are en-suite, although there are two large bathrooms which are shared between the four people living in the home. It is within walking distance of the town centre and has easy access to bus routes. The home is supported locally by The Rookery in Radstock, which is the main Priory service in this area. This home is approximately two miles away from The Rookery Radstock Satellite and it is important to understand the close relationship between these two services and the support The Rookery provides to this new Satellite service. The current fee level ranges from 98,236 to 104,123 pounds per year, depending on the support needs of each young adult. Annual Service Review Page 3 of 5 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 inspection. This included: The annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) that was sent to use 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 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 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 judgment is that the home is still providing a good service and that they know what further improvements they need to make. From reading the annual quality assurance assessment it was evident that the people living in the home were the focus and the home is exploring how individuals can be more involved. The last visit to the home was on the 2nd June 2007, this provided further evidence that the home was providing good outcomes for the people living in the home. This report can be sought from the Commission for Social Care Inspections Web site. The Annual Quality Assurance provided us with some data which indicated that the policies and procedures have been reviewed recently, there have been no complaints and only one part time member of staff has left in the last 12 months. In addition it was evident that the home had exceeded the government target of having 50 of the workforce having a National Vocational Award in care. Four out of five staff have an NVQ in care and the fifth member of staff is in the process of completing it. The Care Quality Commission has not received any complaints. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? This Annual Service Review has not changed our opinion of the service and we will continue with our inspection plan and visit the service by June 2010. However, we can inspect the service at any time if we have concerns about the service or the safety of the individuals.
