People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were supported by sufficient numbers of trained staff who knew them well and understood their needs and preferences. We found some shortfalls in the training staff had received. We have made a recommendation to the registered manager about improving the training for staff within the service.
People were protected from the risk of harm or abuse by a registered manager and staff team who understood their safeguarding responsibilities. Medicines were managed safely by staff who were trained and assessed as competent in medicines management.
Care plans were person centred and contained information on identified risks and the effective management of these for people. People and their relatives had been consulted in these plans prior to commencing with the service.
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.
The service was well led, by a registered manager who was passionate about providing quality care for people and understood their regulatory responsibilities. They were keen to develop the service, whilst maintaining the quality and standards they had set.
