Governance systems were in place to monitor the safety of the environment as well as the quality of the care being delivered. Further work was needed to ensure all bedroom areas were maintained to a high standard of cleanliness and decoration.
The registered manager and provider was responsive to any improvements we identified and took immediate action to address any issues raised. There was a commitment to delivering high quality care.
People spoke positively about the care they received and were supported by staff who knew them well. Support was delivered in a caring and patient manner. People were comfortable in the presence of staff and positive relationships had developed. There were enough staff on duty to meet people's needs and staff told us they felt well supported.
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.
