People were supported to engage in a range of activities both inside and outside the service. People were supported to be as independent as possible with transitioning within the service and looking after themselves with fluids and personal care. Outside the home people were encouraged to try new activities by getting involved in an extensive range of activities from walking to boating to climbing.
People were put first, with a person-centred approach ensuring they were involved as much as possible in their care through goal setting. Their preferences were incorporated into their care plans.
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.
The service applied the principles and values of Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. These ensure that people who use the service can live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes that include control, choice and independence. The outcomes for people using the service reflected the principles and values of Registering the Right Support by promoting choice and control, independence and inclusion. People's support focused on them having as many opportunities as possible for them to gain new skills and become more independent.
