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 on 3 March 2009. 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. 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 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) on time but it was completed by a consultant rather the the registered person in charge of the home who is required by law to complete it. The information they gave us was brief. They did not tell us very much about the views of the person living at the home, how the manager finds out what they want or what they are doing to make sure their service provides good outcomes for them. The comments made in the AQAA refer only to providing one to one support but with little detail about improvements made or planned achievements. In the last inspection report we made a requirement about medication. The AQAA makes no reference to this and therefore does not indicate to us that the issue raised has been addressed. We also made references to other matters in the report for the managers attention. These relate to financial recording, food recording, the personal care plan to include a risk assessment, evidence of continued reviewing and the managers own training. However, the AQAA has not provided us with any information about progress. The person living in the home has completed a survey and given us some feedback about the service but they have not been assisted by someone completely independent to the service such as a local advocate. We have noted the comments made but not reflected them in this report in order to keep the information confidential. Therefore we have concerns that we do not have full information which reflects the experience of the person living at Saxon House. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? Annual Service Review Page 3 of 5 We will keep information received about the service under review and consider a random inspection to look at the issues raised in this review. This inspection could mean that we will bring our next key inspection forward. This is currently due by 3 March 2011. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 5 Reader Information
