Read the rest of CQC's summary

Some aspects of the management of the service needed improvement. For example, processes for staff to escalate clinical concerns were not always clear, and the electronic care planning system was not being used to its full effect. The nominated individual told us about improvements planned to the service, but these had not all been formalised into the service action plan.

People's care plans did not always contain detailed information about people's needs and preferences. However, a consistent staff team knew people and their preferences well.

Staff understood their safeguarding responsibilities and how to protect people from poor care and abuse. Care staff were recruited safely.

Staff enabled people to access health and social care support. We received positive feedback from health and social care professionals.

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.

People felt able to raise concerns and were confident they would be listened to and action taken. People had access to a range of activities and social opportunities
