Staff had been recruited safely and there were enough staff to meet people's needs. Staff received training, supervision and appraisal to develop their skills. Medicines were managed safely. Staff monitored people's health and referred people to relevant healthcare professionals.
People were supported to eat a balanced diet and to keep as healthy as possible. People had access to activities they enjoyed and were supported to maintain interests and hobbies.
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.
Each person had a care plan that contained information about people's choices and preferences. These were reviewed regularly, people were involved as much as possible in developing the plan.
People met with staff before they moved into the service to check that staff would be able to meet their needs. People were treated with dignity and respect. People were supported to be as independent as possible and express their opinions about the service. People's end of life wishes were recorded. Staff worked with the GP and district nurses to support people at the end of their lives.
