During a routine inspection
We saw that people were asked for their consent and where a person lacked capacity to make a decision, formal mental capacity assessments and best interest decisions were carried out with relevant people.
People's needs were assessed and care plans developed that included people's needs and personal wishes. People that we spoke with told us they were happy with the care and support being provided. Comments included, 'this is my home and I do what I want'.
We found that people were cared for in a clean and hygienic environment by suitably qualified, skilled and experienced staff.
Staff we spoke to told us they felt supported.
We found that the provider had effective systems in place to monitor the quality of the service and found that people's views were taken into account and acted upon.
