What inspectors found

People and their relatives told us they felt safe at the service. Allegations of abuse were reported to the local authority and investigated appropriately. Staff knew how to recognise signs of abuse and where to report them. Improvements had been made to people's care plans. People had risk assessments in place, and these gave staff the information they needed to safely look after people. Lessons had been learnt when things went wrong, and accidents and incidents were regularly analysed. People and their relatives felt there were enough staff to meet their needs. Staff were safely recruited, and pre- employment checks had been carried out.

Read the rest of CQC's summary

People had their needs assessed before joining the service and care plans were put in place. Regular reviews of people's needs were carried out and using recognised tools. Staff received training relevant to their job role. This was all up to date and staff felt confident within their roles. People were supported to have a healthy diet, given a choice of meals and where necessary adaptions were made based on individual needs.

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.

Improvements had been made to the quality assurance processes. The registered manager and provider had oversight of systems within the service and made improvements where necessary. Staff told us they felt confident to raise concerns and that they felt they would be listened to. Relatives spoke highly of the management team, especially through the current pandemic. Staff received support through meetings and supervisions and were able to give feedback. The registered manager had introduced a system called 'interactive me' to help people stay in touch with their loved ones. The registered manager and provider gave out thank you cards and vouchers to staff who went above and beyond during the pandemic.
