This included: The annual quality assurance assessment (AQAA) that was sent to us by the service.

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. They told us that to evaluate the service, questionnaires had been sent out to people using the service and their representatives. As a result of this, the variety of entertainment has increased, new menus have been planned and there are plans to enhance the garden with raised borders. The information in the AQAA told us how that the care provided was person centered and reviewed regularly with input from the individual themselves and their representative and any health care professionals that were involved in that persons care. A survey received from a health care professional confirmed that the equality of care provided was good. They indicated that people were able to live their lives as they chose and that their diverse needs were met by a competent staff team.
