People’s experience of using this service and what we found
Risks to people were assessed and managed adequately to reduce the likelihood of harm to them. Lessons were learned from incidents and accidents. People were safeguarded from abuse. There were enough staff available to support people with their needs. People’s medicines were managed safely. Staff followed infection control procedures to reduce risks of infection.
People’s needs were assessed before they started using the service. Staff supported people to eat and drink enough to maintain their nutritional and hydration needs. People had access to health and social care services they needed.
Staff were supported to be effective in their roles through regular training, supervisions and annual appraisals. Staff and the registered manager understood their roles and responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People consented to their care before they were delivered.
People were treated with dignity and respect. Staff also respected and promoted peoples protected characteristics. People had individualised care plans in place which detailed their care and support needs. People were involved in planning and in the delivering of their care and support. People were supported to maintain their independence. People’s communication needs were included in their care plans. People received support to meet their individual needs.
There was a complaints procedure available. People knew how to complain if they were unhappy with the service. The views of people were sought about the service. The quality of the service was regularly assessed through audits and checks. The provider worked in partnership with other organisations to develop the service.
