During a routine inspection
We also examined records, spoke with the manager and four support workers, and observed staff supporting people in communal areas.
Since we last inspected the home, it had re-opened in August 2013 for people with autism.
Before people received any care or treatment they were asked for their consent and the provider acted in accordance with their wishes. Where people did not have the capacity to consent, the provider acted in accordance with legal requirements.
People experienced care, treatment and support that met their needs and protected their rights. A relative commented, '[Person] seems to be settling in well and we are very happy with the care and attention that [person] has received so far'.
There were enough qualified, skilled and experienced staff to meet people's needs.
The provider had an effective system to regularly assess and manage the quality of the service and risks to people's health, safety and welfare.
