People’s experience of using this service and what we found
People were very happy with the care and support they received. All told us they would recommend the service to others.
People were cared for by a small team of staff who they were able to build relationships with. Everyone described the staff as extremely kind and caring.
People felt safe with the staff who supported them. Staff knew how to recognise and report any concerns about possible abuse.
The registered manager carried out risk assessments to make sure risks to people and staff were minimised. The registered manager gave assurances that further risk assessments relating to specific health conditions would be completed.
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.
Everyone had a care plan which was person centred and gave staff the information they needed to provide very individualised care. People told us they continued to be in charge of their care and staff fitted around their routines.
People could be confident that staff would notice any changes in their health and would support them to contact relevant professionals.
People knew how to make a complaint and told us they would be comfortable to do so if needed. All complaints were treated seriously and used to learn and improve the service offered.
The service was well led by a registered manager and deputy who were committed to maintaining high standards of care. Staff and people always had access to the registered manager or deputy to share concerns or seek advice.
The provider had systems in place to monitor quality, seek people’s views and plan ongoing improvements.
