Hollywynd Rest Home

Care was person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. People's individual needs and choices were recognised, and respected. People were supported to have 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.

The provider and staff had worked hard to develop good leadership. Quality monitoring systems had been embedded and morale was good amongst the staff team. We received positive feedback in relation to the care people received and how the service was run. One person told us, "I love it here, they are all so very good." A relative added, "The manager is on the ball, she is organised, I would certainly recommend the home to others."

Staff had the skills and knowledge to meet people's needs and preferences. They received training, regular supervision and attended team meetings to support them in their roles. People's nutritional and hydrational needs were met. There was also regular involvement from health and social care professionals.

We observed a kind and caring culture. People spoke positively about the support staff gave to people. We observed positive interactions between people and staff throughout the inspection.

People's care plans were personalised and gave staff the information they needed to support people. We saw people were supported with their communication needs and their preferred activities in accordance with their care plans.
