About the service Yourlife (Hunstanton) operates an assisted living scheme in a purpose-built private development called Eastland Grange. This service is a domiciliary agency. It provides personal care to people living in their own flats. The development consists of 55 flats privately owned and occupied by older people who also share some communal areas and facilities, such as dining areas, lounges and gardens.
Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People told us they felt safe at this service. Staff understood the action to take if they suspected harm or abuse. Staff felt clear in their job roles and had the necessary skills and training to support people safely.
People were assessed and care plans developed with their preferences and background captured, these documents were then reviewed alongside the person and their relatives where appropriate. People were supported in a manner of their choosing and at a time they requested.
The estates manager gave clear direction to the staff team and had a positive influence on the service.
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.
