People’s experience of using this service and what we found
Based on our review of safe and well-led the service was able to demonstrate how they were meeting the underpinning principles of Right support, right care, right culture.
Right support:
We received positive feedback from people’s relatives, who told us people received person centred care. We also received feedback that assured us improvements had been made in some areas were concerns had been raised by some relatives. There was evidence of positive support, including choice, participation, and inclusion. People’s care plans set out individualised goals that had been discussed and agreed with them. People lived safely because the service assessed, monitored and managed their safety well.
Right care:
People received kind and compassionate care. Staff protected and respected people’s privacy and dignity. They understood and responded to people’s individual needs. They understood how to protect people from poor care and abuse. Staff had training on how to recognise and report abuse and they knew how to apply it. People’s preferred methods of communication were highlighted in their care plans. There were a range of communication formats, each personalised to the specific needs of the person.
Right culture:
People received good quality care, support and treatment because trained staff and specialists could meet their needs and wishes. Staff knew and understood people well and were responsive to their needs. We highlighted a shortfall relating to person centred care, which we saw the service was taking action to correct. The service enabled people and those important to them to work with staff to develop the service.
People lived safely because the service assessed, monitored and managed their safety well. Risks to people had been identified, assessed and reviewed. The assessments provided information about how to support people to ensure risks were reduced but did not limit people’s right to take reasonable risks.
The service had enough staff. Pre-employment checks had been carried out. These checks helped to ensure only suitable applicants were offered work with people.
People received their medicines safely. They were supported by staff who followed systems and processes to administer, record and store medicines safely. We observed from records people received their medicines on time.
People were protected from the risks associated with poor infection control because the service used effective infection, prevention and control measures to keep people, staff and visitors were safe.
People's health needs were met. Staff from different disciplines worked together to make sure people had effective personalised care. The care files we looked at included details of health action plans and management of day to day healthcare needs.
There was a process in place to report, monitor and learn from accidents and incidents.
Governance processes were effective and helped to assess, monitor and check the quality of the service provided to people. Audits had been carried out on a range of areas critical to the delivery of care.
