People were cared for by staff who were well trained and skilled to deliver the support they needed. Staff had regular supervision and were encouraged to develop their knowledge and skills. Staff supported people to eat a healthy diet and access other health professionals when needed.
Feedback about the service, staff and management was very positive. Staff worked in effective partnership with external professionals. The management team had oversight of the service and demonstrated commitment to the continued development of the service. Staff were supported within their roles and the registered manager supported staff with their development.
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.
