Equity in experiences and outcomes

Score: 3

There were several ways in which people were supported to achieve equity in experience and outcomes. The risk assessment and care planning processes identified people's needs and guided management plans that took into account individual differences. The guidance informed staff how best to support people in a way that they liked which enabled people to achieve the outcomes they desired. There were formal and informal opportunities to give feedback. The service had received no formal complaints. People’s feedback was sought through surveys which indicated people were happy with the care and support staff provided. Compliments had been received about the high standard of care. The registered manager advised they were going to reintroduce meetings for people and their families to better enable them to be able to feedback about their experiences. Staff were also able to share their views through staff meetings and surveys. We saw evidence that people’s experience was considered through messages shared during staff meetings. Areas of improvement were also highlighted to continuously achieve positive outcomes for people. For example, a staff member was asked to be a dignity champion for people.

Staff felt they supported people to have equity in experience and outcomes. Staff tailored their approach to people's care to ensure it was person-centered.
