People were supported to be as independent as possible. Care and support was planned to match people's needs in a person centred way. Risks were assessed and where needed mitigated against.
People were cared for safely by staff who had been recruited and employed after appropriate checks had been completed. Staff had received appropriate training. There were systems in place to minimise the risk of infection and to learn lessons from accidents and incidents. Medication was dispensed by staff who had received training to do so.
The registered manager had good oversight of the service. They had encouraged a culture of inclusivity with people, relatives, staff and the community. There were systems in place to monitor and review care, and people's experience at the service.
