People were safeguarded from the risk of harm or abuse. Staff were recruited safely and there were enough staff on duty to meet people's needs. People had risk assessments to reduce the risk of harm they may face. Building safety checks were carried out as required. People were protected from the risks associated from the spread of infection. The provider had a system in place to learn lessons from accidents, incidents and complaints.

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 had their care needs assessed prior to admission. Staff were supported with regular training opportunities, supervision and appraisals. People's nutritional, hydration and healthcare needs were met. The service had an ongoing maintenance and refurbishment programme in place.
