Read the rest of CQC's summary
There were ways for people to express their views and make suggestions about changes they would like to see.
People had good access to healthcare professionals to make sure they received the care and treatment they required. Staff followed recommendations from professionals to promote people's well-being.
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 were able to make choices about their day to day lives. We saw people followed their own routines regarding what time they got up, when they went to bed and how they spent their day.
People were happy with the food provided and were able to make choices about their meals. People who needed support to eat received this from kind and patient staff.
People felt safe at the home and looked comfortable and relaxed with staff who supported them.
People received their medicines safely from staff who had been trained to carry out this task. People told us they got their correct medicines at the right time.
