There were processes for protecting people from the risk of abuse. The registered manager and staff knew the signs and indicators of abuse and the procedures for reporting allegations of abuse to other agencies.
Safe infection prevention and control practices were followed to minimise the spread of infection, including those related to COVID-19.
People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice.
The culture of the service was positive and inclusive. People received person-centred care and experienced good outcomes.
People, family members and staff were complementary about the way the service was managed, they described the registered manager as supportive and approachable and felt involved and listened to.
