Not everyone who used the service received personal care. CQC only inspects where people receive personal care. This is help with tasks related to personal hygiene and eating. Where they do we also consider any wider social care provided.
What inspectors found
People and relatives fed back they were happy with the care provided. There were sufficient staff to meet people's care and support needs. Staff had been recruited safely. The management team had developed and implemented comprehensive audits to monitor the quality and safety of the service. Plans of care had been developed and reviewed with people and their relatives, and the staff team knew people they were supporting well.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Risks associated with people's care and support had been appropriately assessed and managed. People told us they felt safe living at the service and with the staff team who supported them. Staff recognised different types of abuse and how to report it. The registered manager understood their safeguarding responsibilities and how to protect people from abuse.
