During a routine inspection
We received permission to visit and speak with people who used the service. We used different methods to help us understand the experiences of people who used the service because people had complex needs and so a number were not able to tell us their experiences. We talked with one person who used the service and a relative. We observed staff interaction with five people.
The person who used the service told us: 'Nice staff, I really enjoy it here.'
A relative told us: 'Staff are very good in all they do.'
We found that people were supported to understand the support available to them and when appropriate their representatives were involved in making decisions. We saw that people received the care and support required to promote their well-being.
At the previous inspection in January 2013 we found that staff had not received sufficient training to do their jobs. At this September 2013 inspection we found improvements because staff had received training.
At the previous inspection we found that records were incomplete. At this September 2013 inspection it was not possible to fully inspect this outcome area because information from the office was packed away. However of the five care files and care plans we looked at one was incomplete. In light of this we will look at this outcome again at our next inspection.
