People's experience of using this service
The provider had processes in place for reporting safeguarding allegations. Staff followed the guidance in the provider’s safeguarding policy to keep people safe from abuse and for reporting allegations of abuse promptly for investigation.
The registered manager completed assessments with people and relatives. Assessments identified their care and support needs and risks to people’s health and wellbeing. Plans were put in place to mitigate those risks and to carry out people’s assessed care.
People had their medicines managed well. Records used in the administration of medicines were completed accurately using an electronic system and the registered manager completed an audit of these records for completeness.
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.
Social activities were arranged independently but staff supported people to maintain relationships with friends, relatives and to develop new interests. People’s nutritional needs were met and staff understood people’s meal preferences and provided this support when required.
People understood that they could make a complaint about the service if they were unhappy. People gave positive feedback about the care received, staff and of the management of the service.
