People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible. The policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
We observed positive interactions between people and staff throughout the inspection, with staff being knowledgeable about people's needs.
People were supported to take part in a range of events and activities, both within the home and within the local community. Some people had limited positive relationships and there was a risk of social isolation.
We have made a recommendation about supporting people to increase their opportunities for positive relationships.
