People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People living at Paradise House benefited from a service that was committed to providing safe and high-quality care and support. People told us they enjoyed living at the service.
Staff recruitment processes ensured staff were safe to work with people. Risks to people were identified and managed and mitigated by staff to lessen the risk of harm to people. Policies and procedures were in place to keep people free from the risk of abuse and harm.
We received positive feedback from both people living at the home and their relatives about the quality of the care and support they received from staff. Staff were described as kind, caring and ‘willing to go the extra mile.’
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.
The service adopted a positive culture which was committed to delivering high-quality care to people. Staff understood and shared these values. Governance and quality assurance processes helped to monitor service performance. People, their relatives and staff spoke positively about the registered manager.
The service worked in collaboration with other relevant organisations to help achieve positive outcomes for people.
