All Inspections

During a routine inspection
We found that patients were involved in developing their care and treatment which was delivered in line with their individual treatment plan. Risk assessments ensured the safety of staff, visitors and people using the service. People who use the service were protected from the risk of abuse because the provider had taken reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent abuse from happening. We found that staff had access to a range of training specific to their role and staff we spoke with told us they felt supported by their managers. People's complaints were fully investigated and resolved where possible to their satisfaction.
