All Inspections

24 February 2012

During a routine inspection

As part of our inspection we talked with two people who use the service and we asked them questions about the home, the care they received and staff caring for them. Their responses indicated that they felt safe and were happy with the care they received. Some of the comments we received included: 'Yes it's very safe and staff are very kind.' Another person said, 'Staff always help me to talk things through.'

People we spoke with were very positive about the care and support they received. They confirmed they were supported to make choices and decisions about their care. They told us they were assisted to be as independent as possible. One person told us: "If it is something new that you want to try, the staff help you and explain things, so you know what to do.'

People told us they were well looked after and they all enjoyed outings and activities. They described some of the activities that they had been involved in planning. Comments included: 'I like it here', 'The staff look after me' and 'I like being with my friends.'

Another person told us 'We are asked all of the time what we think about things, house meetings for things about the house and going out, surveys about everything and then we also have the student union meetings.'
