People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were safe. Staff received safeguarding training and understood the safeguarding process. The environment and equipment were well maintained, however during the inspection we found fire doors wedged open.
Staff were up to date with mandatory training however, there was limited specialist training. People were supported to access healthcare services. Capacity to consent was documented in peoples care records.
People were supported and encouraged to be as independent as possible. Staff had developed positive relationships with people, and we observed a good rapport between staff and people. People spoke positively about the care received from staff.
People were supported to express their views about all aspects of their life, and this was evidenced in the care plans. Care plans were person centred. People's likes, dislikes, needs and preferences were all recorded. There was evidence people and relatives were involved in care planning.
The registered manager demonstrated they knew the needs of the service and what areas needed improvement. The audit procedures had been followed by the registered manager. We saw action plans were developed following audits to ensure improvement. Staff described the service as a positive person-centred culture, and we saw evidence the provider engaged with staff through various team meetings and supervisions.
