During a routine inspection
One person explained how the staff were helping them to achieve their goals. They told us, 'My long term plan is to get my own flat and the staff here are helping me with this. I do my own cooking, cleaning and washing and the staff are assessing me to see when I'm ready to move on.'
People said they felt safe at the service and trusted the staff. One person told us, 'If I had a complaint I'd go to any member of staff.' Another commented, 'There's plenty of people to tell here if you're not happy about something ' the manager, the nurses, the care staff, anyone really ' they're all good people.'
People told us they were consulted on all aspects of how the service was run. They said they contributed in one to one discussions with staff and at group meetings, and their relatives/representatives were also consulted.
People said they thought the unit was well-run. One person said, 'The new manager is very good and things have improved since she's been here.' Another commented, 'The manager is thorough and on the ball. She came to see me and asked if I was happy with everything.'
