About the service Teddy’s Haven is a supported living service, supporting people with mental health support needs in their own home.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided. At the time of inspection, one person was receiving personal care within the service.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
We were not always assured that training undertaken by staff met Care Certificate Standards. We have made a recommendation about the training and induction offered to staff working at the service.
People received safe care and were protected against avoidable harm, abuse, neglect and discrimination. There were systems and processes in place to safeguard people from potential harm. Staff completed training about safeguarding people from harm and knew how to report abuse
There were sufficient numbers of staff to meet people's needs safely. People were supported by staff who knew them and their needs well. The provider had followed their recruitment practices to ensure people employed were suitable to work at the service and support people.
Medicines were administered safely by trained staff.
Where the provider took on the responsibility, people were supported and encouraged to maintain good nutrition and hydration.
People told us they were treated with respect. Staff encouraged people to maintain their independence and do as much for themselves as they were able to.
People were involved in the care planning and reviews of their care. The provider had a complaints procedure which was accessible to people using the service. There had not been any complaints received at the time of our inspection.
The registered manager and provider understood their responsibilities and worked in an open and transparent way.
The provider conducted regular checks to ensure any issues were found and resolved.
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.
