Independence, choice and control
People were supported to achieve their goals; 1 person was working towards obtaining their own car and another was learning how to self-administer their medication. People were comfortable around staff; we saw staff had a good rapport with people. We saw incidences of people and staff laughing and joking together and people told us they were happy. A relative said, “[Name] is happy and is always laughing.” Another relative said, “[Name] has privacy when they wish, they go to their room and like to go on their PlayStation.”
Staff were passionate about promoting people's choice and independence. One staff said, “We plan what people would like to do, but this changes every day, we ask people each day what they want to do as they can change their mind.” Another staff said, “We do menus with people, but they might not fancy that food on the day, so we ask them what they would like to eat and sometimes they choose something different.”
We observed choices being offered to people, such as where people would like to eat, where they would like to sit, what activities they would like to do and meal choices. People were supported in line with their personalised needs, we saw staff playing games of people's choice and people being supported in their own vehicle which was their favourite activity.
Care plans contained information about people’s preferences and choices, and provided up to date guidance for staff about how people were supported to make choices. 1 care record detailed how staff take a person to their wardrobe so they can pick out their own clothes for the day.
