The service applied the principles and values of Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These ensure that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes that include control, choice and independence.

People living in the home had limited verbal communication skills. They answered 'yes' or 'no' to our questions. People's relatives told us, their family member received care and support from staff in a safe and caring way.

Staff knew how to safeguard people from potential abuse and how to report any concerns they may have had. Risk assessments were developed and regularly reviewed to ensure people could live as independently as possible whilst risks were mitigated.

People's care plans reflected their needs but also their likes, dislikes and preferences. Behaviour support plans were used by staff to promote people's wellbeing by understanding their behaviours and pre-empt any incidents.

People`s dietary needs were met and if they required support from health care professionals staff involved them. People had planned annual health checks. Relatives told us they were happy and involved in people's

care. They visited the service regularly and always found staff caring and respectful towards their family members. They felt confident that if they raised any concerns the management in the home would take those seriously and resolve them.

Staff used a range of communication tools to help people express their views, likes and dislikes. Staff felt supported by the manager and the provider. They received training relevant to their roles and regular supervisions.

The manager developed good working relationships with health and social care professionals involved in people's care. A number of methods were used to assess the quality and safety of the service people received and continuous improvements were made in response to the findings.
