Caring
Staff encouraged people to be independent and do things for themselves. People were encouraged, and supported to have choice, control, and make decisions about how and when their support was provided. This promoted and improved their quality of life, self-worth, confidence, and independence. People and their relatives told us staff gave good care and support in a friendly way, paying attention to small details that made all the difference. Staff acknowledged people’s rights to privacy, dignity and confidentiality, and people said they felt respected. People said staff were compassionate, cared about people and passionate about the people they provided a service to. A staff member said, “Meeting needs is a very crucial part of care. The services provided by the company to people and staff are very effective. From a staff point of view they listen to me in every situation and if I call them regarding a customer they act quickly and meet the needs of customer."
