Read the rest of CQC's summary
The provider had safeguarding systems and processes in place to keep people safe. Staff knew about the risks to people and followed the assessments to ensure they met people's needs.
People received their medicines safely and as prescribed and were supported by sufficient numbers of staff to ensure that risk of harm was minimised.
Staff had been recruited appropriately and had received relevant training, so they were able to support people with their individual care and support needs.
People felt safe and were supported by staff who knew how to protect them from avoidable harm.
Staff sought people's consent before providing care and support. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way and in their best interests: the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. People's individual communication needs were considered to support them to be involved in their care.
Staff spoke positively about working for the provider. They felt well supported and that they could talk to the management team at any time, feeling confident any concerns would be acted on promptly. They felt valued and happy in their role.
