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 care home is still providing a good service and that they know what further improvements they need to make. The AQAA told us that the service continued to forge links with the families of the people that stay there, and ensured that the information is shared as appropriate to make a transparent service.The AQAA informed us that Staff training remains a priority. Reviews of policies and procedures occur. The AQAA also told us that they had received no complaints in the past year. There were no safeguarding issues since the last Inspection. The Care Quality Commission have not received any complaints about this service. The care home continues to let us know about things that have happened since our last key inspection and they have shown that they have managed issues well.
