All Inspections

11 September 2012

During a routine inspection

We spoke with three people who used the service. People said they had a good choice of food at mealtimes and could attend activities if they wished. We saw that activities were planned weekly in advance and that people were asked what they would like to do and could participate as they chose. Two people told us that staff arranged regular trips out.. One person told us, 'It is always exciting to go out. The staff make a real effort with the trips, they are always fun.'

People told us they liked the home. One person said, 'It feels homely' and 'The food is home cooked and always good'. People told us that the menu was varied and that they could decide what they preferred to eat.

One person told us that they had been able to discuss their care plan and that they were happy with the level of care provided. People told us they felt safe. One person said that staff were, "Very nice and always kind'. Another person told us that staff, 'Cannot do enough for you, they are always lovely.'

We observed staff spending time with people and treating them with dignity and seeking their consent prior to undertaking tasks or activities. People were able to spend time with others or spend time in their rooms. They could make their own choice.
