People’s experience of using this service
Care plans contained suitable and sufficient risk assessments to effectively manage risks and help keep people safe. Pre-employment checks had been carried out to ensure staff were suitable to support people. Staff were aware on how to safeguard people from abuse. There were appropriate numbers of staff to support people when required. Medicines were being managed safely.
Staff had completed essential training to perform their roles effectively and staff felt supported in their role. 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.
People received care from staff who were kind and compassionate. Staff treated people with dignity and respected their privacy. Staff had developed positive relationships with the people they supported. They understood people’s needs, preferences, and what was important to them. People were encouraged to be independent and to carry out tasks without support.
Care plans were person centred and included people’s support needs. Care plans had been reviewed regularly to ensure they were accurate. People participated in regular activities to support them to develop and maintain relationships to avoid social isolation.
Systems were in place for quality assurance and quality monitoring to ensure people received high quality care.
