Right care Staff understood and responded to people's individual needs. Care planning documentation demonstrated service user involvement and were person centred. Activities were individualised to the person. People using the service told us they felt listen to and involved in the service. Staff had a good understanding of their responsibilities to make sure people were safe. People we spoke with told us they felt safe. The service ensured people could take part in person centred activities for example, sky diving and dancing.
Right culture Staff promoted an open culture and was encouraged by management to express how they feel and work transparently. The registered manager was receptive to feedback and we saw evidence of ongoing improvement for the benefit of people who use the service. Staff supported people in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
