People’s experience of using this service and what we found
Right Support: People were involved with making decisions about their care. Staff worked consistently hard to advocate for people and ensure they had access to services they needed. 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.
Right Care: Staff spoke about people in a person-centred way and there was a person-centred culture in the service. People’s dignity, independence and privacy was promoted and respected. People were supported to access the community, engage with their hobbies and interests and maintain relationships.
Right Culture: The management and staff team worked inclusively and supported people to live how they wished. The atmosphere was relaxed and there were enough suitably trained staff to keep people safe. People were supported to develop daily living skills they needed to live a more independent life.
