What inspectors found
People, relatives and community-based professionals told us care was safe. Improvements were made to people's risk assessments to ensure they contained information to support people in the right way. More oversight of the care documentation was completed by the registered manager and deputy manager to ensure that risks were properly identified and mitigated. People were protected from abuse and neglect. Recruitment processes were strengthened to ensure that the correct pre-employment checks were always completed.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
People, relatives and healthcare professionals told us the service had improved since the registered manager commenced in post. The deputy manager and registered manager worked well to assess areas for improvement and take steps to ensure this occurred. There was a continuous improvement model in place, with an ongoing action plan to record updates on improvements. The quality assurance programme ensured that the service was well-led and achieved positive outcomes for people. There was positive feedback from people and relatives. They were able to have a say in how the service was led, provide suggestions and felt listened to. Community health and social care professionals confirmed the service worked in partnership with them.
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.
