What inspectors found
People told us staff were caring and they felt safe. We observed staff deliver care and support in a kind and compassionate manner. It was clear staff understood people's needs and how to manage any presenting risks. Risk assessments were clear and readily identified how to mitigate them. Staff were familiar with these documents and the actions they needed to take.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
There were enough staff on duty and staff were recruited safely. People were protected from abuse by staff who understood how to identify and report any concerns. Incident monitoring records were appropriately used to understand themes and reasons for the events. Medicine management was effective. Staff adhered to COVID regulations and procedures.
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.
The systems the registered manager had in place allowed them to critically review the service and proactively looked at how improvements could be made. Staff told us that the registered manager was approachable and listened to their views. All felt the registered manager was running a good service.
Staff were passionate about providing good care outcomes and took ownership for their practice. They had established good working relationships with all visiting professionals, and this had supported them to deliver effective care and support.
