People’s experience of using this service and what we found
We have made a recommendation about the management of some medicines.
Some staff did not always feel fully supported due to the complexity of some of the people they cared for. The provider and registered manager listened to our feedback and had started implementing more regular individual meetings with staff to discuss their concerns and provide support.
Staff had been trained in safeguarding people and protecting them from harm. Any concerns or accidents were reported and acted on. The registered manager reviewed all incidents and accidents and took action to reduce the risk of the incidents reoccurring.
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.
Staff recognised people as individuals and worked to ensure people felt fulfilled and had access to a range of activities and social stimulation that met their individual needs and preferences.
People received quality care that contributed to their wellbeing. Caring relationships were formed between staff and people due to the approach and continuity of staff. People were treated with dignity and respect.
People's communication needs were assessed and recorded. For example, people’s preferred language was recorded in their care plan. The registered manager told us people were given information about the service in a format that met their needs.
The service applied the principles and values of Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These ensure that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes that include control, choice and independence.
The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent.
The managers and staff were passionate about the care they delivered and were driven to improve the service. They worked in conjunction with families and other health care professionals to improve the lives for people. The management team monitored the quality of the delivery of care through staff observations and feedback from people while the monitoring systems were being developed to ensure people were satisfied with the care they received and to check that the care practices of staff were being maintained.
