People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were supported to manage their medicines safely and received their medicines as prescribed. People were supported by suitable staff who were safely recruited and trained. The areas of risk in people’s lives were identified and care and support planned to mitigate these risks.
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 registered manager was committed to achieving good outcomes for people. People were involved in planning their care and made choices about how their care was delivered. People were able to access a range of professionals for specialist support.

We found no evidence during this inspection that people were at risk of harm from this concern. Please see the safe and well led sections of this full report.
We looked at infection prevention and control measures under the Safe key question. We look at this in all care home inspections even if no concerns or risks have been identified. This is to provide assurance that the service can respond to COVID-19 and other infection outbreaks effectively.
