People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People received good care from staff who knew them well and understood their individual needs. People were involved in planning their own care and giving their views and opinions. People were treated with dignity and respect.
People were protected because staff were trained in safeguarding and able to identify and report concerns. There were recruitment procedures in place and appropriate checks to ensure that staff were suitable for their role. Staff understood the risks associated with the person’s care as they worked closely with them on a regular basis. However, some improvement in care planning and risk assessment documentation was necessary. There were sufficient numbers of staff to ensure the person’s care needs were met.
Staff received training to support them in their roles. Supervisions and appraisals were used to monitor staff performance and development needs.
The person was 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.
There were staff in place to support the registered manager in their role. Systems were in place to support the running of the service, such as monitoring visits, ensuring they were taking place as expected and the recording of accidents and incidents.
