What inspectors found
People told us they felt safe in the service and liked living there. One person said, "I like it here, everyone is marvellous." Relatives agreed their loved ones were safe in Withens. Staff received training in safeguarding, and this was up to date. People received safe care and treatment and environmental risks were managed. Medicines were managed safely in line with national guidance.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
There were quality monitoring processes in place to monitor the service. There was a manager who was registered with the Care Quality Commission who had left around the same time as our inspection. The provider had already put interim management arrangements in place and a regional management team provided support for the service. Staff had confidence in the management team and found them approachable.
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.
