The registered manager sought information pertaining to people's backgrounds during the initial assessment, and people's preferences were taken into account.

People's experiences were sought by the management team in ways that were accessible to them. Where people needed information in another format, this was provided, and people we spoke with knew who to contact if they had a concern. Concerns were dealt with effectively to prevent the risk of recurrence. The provider shared with us several compliments they had received. This included "Overall there is a level of kindness and care there that you can’t quantify."
