People's experience of using this service:

People who used the service were supported in a safe way by kind and compassionate staff who knew people well. Staff were suitably trained and promoted choice and independence for people.

Staff provided care and support that was personalised and tailored to meet individual needs. People's care records were completed and reviewed in conjunction with people and their relatives and people had access to healthcare as and when they needed it.

The service had systems in place to ensure the service was effectively run and that risks to people were reduced. There were mechanisms in place to collate feedback from people and their relatives and this was used to drive improvement. The management team were passionate about living the values of the service.

The service met the characteristics of Good in all areas: more information is available in the full report below.
