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. Peoples nutritional needs were met, and people told us they enjoyed the food at the home.
Staff promoted individual's dignity and privacy. Staff supported people in a person-centred way and knew people well, to enable them to provide individualised support.
