People’s experience of using this service and what we found
The provider had systems and processes in place to manage medicines safely and protect people from the risk of abuse. Infection control measures were in place to minimise the risk of infection. The provider acted on or learnt from incidents, such as an incident highlighting the need for pre- admission assessments to be more detailed.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
Care workers had developed caring relationships with people they supported. Staff respected people's dignity and privacy and promoted their independence.
People's care and support met their needs and reflected their preferences.
Management processes were in place to monitor and improve the quality of the service. There was a positive and open culture. The management team sought feedback from people, relatives and staff. Feedback was positive across all areas.
