Independence, choice and control
People continued to receive exceptional support to exercise choice and control over their daily lives and the services they received.

Staff knew people well. We met with staff who had supported people for over a decade. Staff shared the provider’s person-centred ethos. This meant people’s support was individual and personalised to their needs and preferences. Staff supported people to engage in a wide range of activities including holidays, work, socialising and using the provider’s allotment to plant, grow and harvest produce and to host social events.
We saw staff treating people with care, dignity and respect throughout our inspection. We observed that staff who had worked with people for many years clearly understood their non-verbal communication. For example, staff knew what people were communicating when vocalising and rocking and what their facial expressions meant. This empowered people and enabled them to have their preferences, care and support needs met.
People had person centred plans which were reviewed monthly. These were practical as well as aspirational. Person centred plans provided information about people, stated what was important to them as well as what they wanted to achieve.
