During a routine inspection
We observed that people were encouraged to do things for themselves, so promoting their independence skills. One person told us, " I clean my bedroom and the staff help me." Another person told us they often helped to cook the evening meal with support from staff.
Records sampled stated and staff spoken with knew how to support people to meet their needs. People were supported to meet their health needs to ensure their well being.
Systems were in place to ensure that people were safeguarded from harm. We saw that people were comfortable in the company of staff. One person said, 'I'm happy living here and get on with the staff.'
Staff received the training they needed so they knew how to support the people living there. We saw that the required checks were completed before staff started working there to ensure people's safety and well being.
The people living there and the staff were asked for their views about the home and these were listened to.
