People were always protected against avoidable harm, abuse, neglect and discrimination. People's risks were assessed and strategies put in place to reduce the risks. People experienced positive outcomes regarding their health and wellbeing. Staff received good supervision and training, which provided them with the knowledge and skills to enable them to provide good care. Care was person-centred and focused on ensuring people with dementia lived independent lives. The care was designed to ensure people's maximum independence was encouraged and maintained. There was a workplace culture that was open and honest. Staff told us they felt supported by the manager and they could speak with them at any time.
