The service worked well with external agencies to assess, mitigate and manage risks for people.
The service was clean and hygienic, and people’s bedrooms were well personalised. People and their relatives gave positive feedback regarding staff and leaders within the service. Staff knew people well, had a caring approach and promoted peoples’ independence. People and staff felt able to raise any concerns with leaders of the service and felt these would be addressed swiftly and appropriately.
There were some minor environmental issues in the service such as leaks within the roof and areas in need of repair and modernisation. The provider was aware of these concerns and had evidenced this in their service improvement plan.
