People’s experience of using this service and what we found
The service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture.
Right Support
People received a service that was safe for them to live and staff to work in. The quality of the service was regularly reviewed, and improvements made to ensure people’s care and support needs were met. This was in a way that was best suited to people. There were well-established working partnerships that promoted people’s participation and reduced their danger of social isolation.
Right Care
Staff were appropriately recruited, trained, and in sufficient numbers to support people to live safely, whilst enjoying their lives. Identified risks to people and staff were assessed, monitored, and reviewed. Complaints, concerns, accidents, incidents, and safeguarding issues were appropriately reported, investigated, and recorded. Trained staff safely administered people’s medicines.
Right culture
The home’s culture was positive, open, and honest with a leadership and management that was clearly identifiable and transparent. Staff were aware of and followed the provider’s vision and values which were clearly defined. Staff knew their responsibilities, accountability and were happy to take responsibility and report any concerns that might arise.

Why we inspected
We undertook this inspection to check whether the service was continuing to provide a good, rated service to people.
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.
For those key questions not inspected, we used the ratings awarded at the last inspection to calculate the overall rating.
The overall rating for the service remains Good. This is based on the findings at this inspection.
