What inspectors found
People were kept safe in the service by enough staff who knew them well and who had the right skills, experience and knowledge to look after them. People were protected from harm and abuse and treated with respect. There were systems in place for managing and administering people's medication which were reviewed regularly.
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.

People's needs were assessed including risks to people's health and the environment they lived in and they were monitored to ensure safety. The service was well maintained, clean and homely. Staff received training, guidance and support to do their job well.
The registered manager delivered an effective service because they worked in partnership with other health care professionals. There were up to date systems in place to monitor the quality of the service and any learning was identified and acted upon.
