Staff told us that people living at the home were able to receive any care and treatment they needed. One staff member told us “People can have the appointments they need. We go with them or family, or sometimes people come here.” The registered manager told us that they provided 'tools' to staff to support people, they recently provided easy to read information to staff on Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS) to help staff understand the information.
