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 the information we have received about and from the home since we last carried out a key (major) inspection. The manager sent us an Annual Quality Assurance Assessment (AQAA). We ask services to send us an AQAA every year. It includes the services own assessment of how well it is meeting the needs and wishes of the people who live there. It also gives us some statistical information about the home. We sent survey forms to a number of people who live at The Green but we did not get any back. During the year the home has told us about things that have happened there (we call these notifications). We also looked at the report from the last key inspection, which was the last time we visited it. What has this told us about the service? The manager sent us the AQAA when we asked for it and it contained the information we had asked for. The home has improved staff supervision and nearly half of the staff now have NVQ2, the relevant qualification. Most of the remaining staff are on NVQ programmes leading to the award. We have not received any complaints about the home in the past twelve months. What are we going to do as a result of this annual service review? We are not going to change our inspection plan so we will do a key inspection by 1 October 2010. However, we can inspect the home at any time if we have concerns about the quality of the service or the safety of the people living there. Annual Service Review Page 4 of 5 Reader Information
